How do you pronounce 'Mun'

[bogpad]

I pronounce Mün similar to Myn with the My pronounced like in Mysterious.

doing it exactly like that too.

[Dortmunder]

If it has a ü it should be pronounced like moon.

I tend to pronounce it like sun though, not even sure if it is "Mün" or "Mun" in game, don't remember at the moment.

[SkyRender]

It depends on my mood. Usually I just call it 'the moon' since that's simple enough (and not many are likely to wonder which one I'm talking about; also, I was around when it first got added and thus 'the moon' was not potentially confusing at all). When I can be bothered to call it by name, I'll call it 'myewn' in acknowledgement of its umlaut.

[SuperWeegee4000]

The devs pronounce it "Muhn" rhyming with "ton" or "bun." The occasional dotted U has no real effect.

[Moon Goddess]

Precisely. It definitely doesn't rhyme with "bun" or "fun". It's not even strictly like "Moon". It's more of an "eww" sound.

Not disagreeing with you at all on the bun or fun thing, I'm more questioning the Moon vs. eww

I'm sitting here sounding like something stupid to my cat trying to figure out what the difference between oo and ew is, they sound the same when I say them in an oklahoma accent.

Your cat knows the difference. Try saying them in a left-coast accent.

Well, "MUN" would be pronounced similarly Fun or Gun...etc

But 'Mun' is actually wrong, the correct spelling is "MÜN" that is with two dots above the 'ü' which means that:

While "Mun" is like Fun, "Mün" is pronounced "Moon".

(Wrong) (Right)

"Mun" and... uh, hang on, does this iPad have a character map anywhere?

Oh, I can use this app thingy.

...and... what do you mean you don't have it? You useless little...

Erm, anyway, both spellings are correct, but the devs have spoken. It does rhyme with "sun."

[zxczxczbfg]

Theory: The modern pronunciation is "muhn" but the pronunciation in whatever language is the Kerbal equivalent of Latin is "myoon".

[kola2DONO]

I'm pronouncing muoon

[El wonso]

I spell it "Muna" which is conversion of Russian world "Luna"

Latin word. I think russian 'Luna' is the effect of lack of letters in english/latin alphabet.

This is a sandbox game, I'll pronounce it however I want!

[annallia]

Me too! Even though I agree with the devs....

I actually have another word for it given that a full third of my missions to it have ended in disaster but I don't think I would be allowed to repeat it here....

[AmpsterMan]

I prounounce it:

N. Moon

Adj. Moonar

[Frederf]

I pronounce it exactly like Scott Manley does which is of course impossible to express in less than 2^11 characters of text.

If you stepped in a hairball the cat coughed up, would you say "oo" or "ew"? It's the difference between pleasant surprise, and disgust. Hopefully that can help elaborate the difference between the sounds.

[AlternNocturn]

Mun, rhymes with "fun", because that's how it's spelled in game.

[arq]

Usually "Muen", with the short "u", but occasional more like "monday"

Anyone else pronounce Laythe more like "late-hey" or "lay-tay"?

...Laythe. One syllable.

[Captain Sierra]

Some of the devs have said it Moon and some have said it Muhn. I say it Muhn because the only time you see it with the fancy double dot thing is on that opening screen with the crashed lander. Everywhere else, no dots, so it is muhn.

[3_bit]

Like "mum" but with an N at the end instead. How about we have Scott Manley make a video on it? xD

[42undead2]

I just don't get the ''Mun, because it rhymes with fun/gun/pun/whatever''. Sure, Mun rhymes with those words. Mün doesn't. You don't spell them fün, gün or pün, do you? I say it Muhn.

[CalculusWarrior]

I just pronounce it the same as our Moon, but I do play with the 'oo' sound in the middle to make it sound more exotic.

[Frankenchokey]

As in, München. Though the use of an umlaut in the name seems to be somewhat inconsistent.
