How do YOU pronounce names/terms?

[Marissa]

How did you guys pronounce names before seeing the pronunciations in the back of Crooked Kingdom? Also how do you guys say Grishaverse related terms?
Ex.
I pronounce Grisha (Gree-shuh)
I also pronounced Matthias (May-thee-uhs)

[Stella]

I pronounce Grisha the same as you, but I say Mah-TAI-uhs

[Jennifer]

How do you guys pronounce Inej?? I pronounce it (in-eh)

[Liliana]

I pronounce Matthias as Mah-tea-uhs. Maybe because in my language that's the most common.
And I read the j in Inej... Don't really know how to write that out.

[Leslie]

I pronounce Grisha (Grih-shaw)

[Christal]

I say Gree-sha and Matt-eye-us

[Christal]

And Inej as in-edge

[Marissa]

Oh boy, here we go: otkazat’sya, oprichnik, nichevo’ya, merzost, razrusha’ya

[Veronika]

The russian names and such are pretty easy for me 'cause I come from another slavic country.. On the other hand, Inej is a tough one for me, I pronounce it Iney, but that's definitely wrong..
I pronounce Matthias like Liliana, even if it's wrong I like that better ;D

[Audrey]

Grisha: GREE-shuh
Matthias: ma-THIGH-us
Wylan: WILL-an
Genya: JEN-yuh
Inej: IN-edge

[elise rose]

I will forever and always pronounce Wylan like “WILL-an” even though I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be “WHY-lan.”

[Rosie]

Same, I always thought it was meant to rhyme with “Dylan”

[Lee]

It’s like WAY-lan

Me too! I'm going to have a rude awakening when they pronounce it the correct way in the show haha.

[Miriam]

This is really funny because in my language are many of these names normal :D

[Nodnol]

Yeah I only new how to pronounce Matthias because I had come across the name before in another book (Shadow Children series by Margaret Haddix), and had mispronounced it then.

[mira]

inej (ee-neszh)
wylan (why-lan)
grisha (gree-sha)
matthias (mah-thy-as)

[Ele]

I am just here to note I pronounced kruge correctly Before It Was Cool. I was shocked when I learned everyone thought it rhymed with fudge.

[a frog in a crown]

I say Gree-shuh

[gabriella]

Wylan: WHY-lihn
Matthias: Mat-HE-iss
Inej: In-ej (soft 'french' g sound, as at the end of 'garage')
Kruge: Kroog-uh (Think pronunciation of Kruger)
Jan van Eck: Yun fun Ek
Grisha: Gree (like 'grim')- shuh
Merzost: Mirt-zost (o sound as in dot)

I think that's all the 'controversial' pronunciations?

[Mattea]

How do you pronounce Rusalye

[gabriella]

Mattea wrote: "How do you pronounce Rusalye"
I switch between rue-SELL-yehh and rue-SELL-yea

[Tanisha Herondale]

Inej - In-ej (the J is the same sound as the j in “enjoy”)
Wylan - Y-lun
Matthias - Ma-THAI-us

[Monika]

Genya, Gen-ja (the G as in "gather", "gay", "gaia")
Nikolai as Nikołaj; Niko-why

[Ella]

It’s wye-lun
In-edge
Muh-tie-us

[Kara]

How do I pronounce Hanne?

[manar]

Before I watched Leigh's video on YT on how to pronounce the names, I was pronouncing them as
Kaz (K-ah-z)
Inej (In-edge)
Nina (Nee-na)
Matthias (Ma-thee-uhs)
Jesper (Jes-per)
Wylan (Why-len)

[manar]

And it was so hard to stop pronouncing Genya as with a G instead of a J lol

[Ida]

Inej: ee-ney
Genya: Like kenya but with a hard G sound
Matthias: mah-tee-uhs (this one I stand by because thats the actual scandi pronunciation)
Grisha: don’t really know how to describe it but with a shorter i sound
I think I got the rest of the important character names kinda right from what I remember

[Stella]

I would always imagine it like:
Inej: Een-EZH (like the zh in seizure)
Matthias: Ma-THAIY-us (I knew someone with the last name Matthias who pronounced it like that so that was my default)
Wylan: WHY-lahn
And I also pronounced Genya with the hard G instead of J. I think the only one I actually got right was kruge lol

[legendofthe3divas]

These are some that I mispronounced when I first was introduced to the Grishaverse:

Kruge (krooj)
Genya (jen-ya)
Matthias (Math-eye-yas)

[jas]

Guys help, I'm literally mispronouncing everything LOL
Wylan - WILL-an
Inej - in-EDGE
Grisha - Gri-SHA
Kruge - Crew-ge
Matthias - Mat-eye-yas

[Audrey (Loki's version) ⊬]

These are things I mispronounced at first (I still pronounce some of them wrong though 😅)

Kruge (krooj) (its pronounced krug-eh right??)
Matthias (Muh-tey-us)
Genya (jenya)
Nichevo'ya (nikevo'ya) (it's pronounced like it's spelled:nitch-eh-voya
Merzost (mer-zost) (mer as in "mermaid" the o as in "host")

I think I pronounce oprichnik right though:
oh-prik-nik

[Else Julie]

I said tAmAr instead of “taymar” until I joined booktok lol

[kit]

how does everyone pronounce Hanne?
I've always pronounced it as Hann-ay but I feel like that's not right
