How do you pronounce 'Mun'

[spikeyhat09]

I'm pronouncing it the right (german way). Mün, pronounced "Myn"

that is incorrect. if it had an umlaut (which is doesnt anymore), it would be "moon".

ü (u umlaut)

A German umlaut used to express words like: cool, frugal

[Flixxbeatz]

This has been discussed before. Anyway, since it has an umalut (Mün, 2 dots above, as per the wiki says), then it should be pronounced as "Myoon" if I recall correctly what they've said before here. But for practicality's sake, I'm always pronouncing it as "Moon".

...Laythe. One syllable.

I do actually pronounce it as "Ley-teh", in accordance to my vernacular. I was actually surprised by the way Scott Manley said it when I've first heard it from him

Huzzah! I'm not alone, then!

the wiki is fanmade. it is incorrect a good deal of the time. if you look ingame, it no longer has the umlaut.

Like Bun with M instead of B.

Thanks for the clarification. The pronounciation "Moon" makes more sense now.

[grawl]

Muhn, or like "Moon" but with a much shorter "oo".

I agree, that's my way of spelling it too

How does it make more sense?

[AllenM3]

I just call it Moon.

I've always wondered if in the kerbal universe the word Mun = Moon. Are all Moon's Muns? Or is Mun just the name of Kerbin's Moon.

Ive always seen people say, "I landed on the Mun". Should they say "I landed on Mun" or "I landed on the Moon"? (relative to kerbin)

Cause say your are at Duna. You wouldnt say "I landed on the Ike". You would say "I landed on Ike" or "I landed on Duna's Moon (Mun?)."

Is Ike Duna's Moon, or Mun?

It has an Umlaut on the crashed Mün lander on the title screen. I don't think the game itself supports alt characters anymore (if it ever did).

My first introduction to the Mün is on the title screen, so to me it has an umlaut. So I pronounce it Mewwn, which sounds very close to Moon.

In 1969, humans landed on the Moon. Someday, they may land on Mars. Not "the Mars". Get it now?

[Whackjob]

Ah, the humble German umlat.

Ich Deutche sprechen ein bischen. Nicht gut. Meine gehirne ist kaput. ...Ich bin Herr Dumnkopf.

[milankragujevic]

I pronounce it like Moon (actually my language equivalent of that, üõÑÂõц). Completly ignoring the Kerbal pronuncitation.

[Zeroignite]

Using IPA, I pronounce it "mjun". The vowel is sort of clipped and shortened.

this might be helpful for people trying to describe how they pronounce things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English#Key

[Salacain5]

Everyone pronounces it a little differently

I pronounce it Mun (muhn). My Freind prnounces it like "Min" And some pronounce it 'maan"

Its up to you how you pronounce it.

[MockKnizzle]

Kind of a cross between "Min" and "Moon." I purposely clip/shorten the vowel to make it sound silly.

[spikeyhat09]

there is no Umlaut. its just mun. whether that is pronounced "muhn" as in umbrella, or "moon", is anyones guess

[Rufus Callahan]

I pronounce it like a cow would. Moon. M-O-O-N, that spells Mun.

[Tuna7]

Me demands a poll!

[FlamedSteak]

I pronounce it Mun as in Bun. I know it's supposed to be moon, but Mun is more Kooky Kerbalike to me.

[Tiron]

The part that gets me, does it actually officially have the Umlaut or not? It only seems to pop up once in awhile, and much of the time (including in game), it doesn't have it. So I usually just rhyme it with 'Sun', in part because it sounds sillier, but mostly because, well, that's what it looks like in the vast majority of sources.

But I do the 'Munar' thing too, rhyming it with 'Lunar' because, well...

So I'm inconsistent!

[Jarin]

Mün.

... I have no idea how to phonetically spell that without the umlaut though. Myun comes close, I guess.

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

I pronounce it moon.

The umlaut makes the ü into a ooh sound

[RatBeer]

You should turn this into a poll!
