minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoThey were trying to show the hero-like pronunciation applied. Think of e.g. Hercules.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-21 year agoIt’s “Herkules” in german, like you write it, so i don’t know. This petition has missing rules.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoThe English pronunciation of Hercules is effectively the same as the German pronuncation. Important for the joke is that the normal pronunciation for molecules differs, even though it also ends on -cules…
minus-square@[email protected]OPMlinkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-21 year agoHonestly, go with the epic version.
minus-square@EtherWhacklinkEnglish3•1 year agoThe English pronunciation would be “her-Q-leez” For the Greek pronunciation, if I remember what I was told, the long “E” at the end should actually be short; the “R” is mixed with an “L” sound; and the “H” is silent. Pronounced something like “eee-lrak-aice”
How are they pronounced?
Molec-ulēs and partic-ulēs
Nah, the heroes.
