And that's still technically the wrong pronunciation given that it's an old Scandinavian word that sounds wrong when spoken in English. As a Swede, I mostly know it as 'Mjölner', which is far closer to its original pronunciation.

Yeah, it's modeled after modern spacesuit helmets with the large, wide FoV visor that modern space-suits have which is why I think it got that name even though most if not all Mjolnir iterations are vacuum-rated.

Glacier depends on where you from. For example, In the UK, it's a lot more common to say Glay-see-uh, even for the natural Icy formation version. That's not a "wrong" pronunciation, it's just different depending on where you are from.

I called the wraith a scarab and the scarab the wraith, cause the wraith looks like the bug scarab and the scarab looked like a wraith; gray spirit one sees seconds before death.
Not a mispronunciation but more a fun fact that came to mind with the GaussHog section: the MAC guns (giant cannons on any UNSC facility, like in Halo 4 when you arm the cannons to fire on the Didact) are basically very very large Gauss cannons, they fire a giant mass of metal using magnetic coils
Why does everyone mispronounce the “ts” sound even when they are trying to explain to people it’s its own sound, it’s not just the s sound, the t isn’t completely silent just mostly so
Lewa, Toa of Air that’s not even correct, the ts is meant to mimic a letter in Japanese that doesn’t have a sound equivalent in English and is as close as you can get with English lettering. The problem is it’s not actually that hard to do and is basically what sh and ch is but with a different sound, the problem is people just make the t silent rather than try to make the sound and that most people don’t even know it’s supposed to be like the ch and sh.
LQKing’s Personally Channel That’s my point. I learned how to pronounce the sound from studying a little Japanese, myself. I think the problem also has to do with the Ts sound’s lack of noticeable usage in English. Yes, it is used, but usually at the end of words. If it’s at the start of a word, native speakers get confused. It’s similar to how Ng is supposed to be its own sound, but people try to pronounce the G when they see this digraph at the start of a word. (The difference with Ts is in trying to figure out how to pronounce it. And it’s silly that common approaches aren’t the same.) Basically, with English by itself being all jumbled and confusing to the point of warranting videos like this one, the confusion and misconceptions worsen when considering other languages and fictional terms.
The Africans in Sadie's story mispronounce "Elephant" for a reason A J in German is pronounced like a Y in English, making that guy's name YO-hahn Military types have a tendency to bend acronyms into pronounceable words, so "Eva" would probably be very common among the Spartans If you're having trouble with Tsavo or Czar, try beatboxing boots and cats, and then isolate the "ts" sound, since that doesn't belong at the beginning of words in Romance languages
"German Physicist "Joe-Han" 😂 Pretty sure it's pronounced "Yo-Han." Also, (mildly unrelated) what's up with Americans pronouncing German surnames wrong all the time? Einstein is obviously pronounced Eye'n-st-eye'n. Also, Ein, pronounced Eye'n. So for names that end in Stein, why do they pronounce it Steen? It's never been Steen 😂 I hear "Epsteen" all the time, and it drives me insane! Just a side-rant. If it's ie, then it's Steen. If it's ei, then it's Stine.
It depends on the person whose name it is. For example, two US presidents: Teddy Roosevelt said Roose, rhyming with booze, whereas Franklin D Roosevelt said Roose, rhyming with rose. Some ancestor of Jeffery Epstein must've said Epsteen and it just stuck. I'm sure your people, whoever they are, mispronounce American stuff too - it's just a human thing.
@@thenecrolept Aye, true enough. I've always tried pronouncing names in particular by the origin of the country. I'm just trying to think of specifically American words. Perhaps even my surname is pronounced wrong. I've heard it being pronounced differently several times. Rowell, beginning with Row, can be both Row as in argument, and Row as in rowing a boat. Since it's a derivative of "de Rothwell," technically I should be pronouncing it like "Roh-well" instead of "Ra-wool." You make a good point though. While I used America as an example, it's really everywhere.
You missed a few/got some wrong: Master Chief is “Mister Chef” Mendicant Bias is “minty-fresh basis” Promethean is “Prom meat-eater” Reach is “ree-ach” The Spirit of Fire is “The Sprite of Fear” The Cole Protocol is “The Colee Protocol” A banshee is “batshit” A scarab is “scrapper” The Silent Cartographer is “The Silenced Carpenter” The Prophet of Regret is “The Profit off Ringo” A warthog is “chubra-thingy” John Forge is “yahn for-geh” Unggoy are “uncle Roy” Battle Rifle is “Beetle Rightward” A mongoose is “moon gust” Dr Halsey is “Doctor How salty” Cortana is “waifu” The Rookie is “The Rocky” And Bungie is "bun-guy"
Once i got a friend that had never played Halo before, play thru Reach - 3. He always said "Halo Chief" as in Master Chief. Now i always say "Halo Chief", what a name.
In the vein of adding letters that aren't there, I have friends that say "equipt." "I'm going to equipt that" so I always have to reply with "Did you or did you not equip it?"
Watching this post-Halo Infinite, the Tartarus = tartar sauce mispronunciation is part of some dialogue that a marine will say to brutes they're attacking. Something along the lines of: "why dont you go back to your tartar sauce or how ever you say his name."
Gephyrophobia was my favorite multiplayer level when I was a little kid. Not that I actually ever gotten to play on it with other people, I remember I was just proud I could pronounce it xD

@@Dlúith yes i do, but I disliked the Scorpion before i watched spooks vid on it, we actually hold a lot of similar opinions on armoured vehicles
Not halo related but it infuriates me when my brother says mimuc instead of mimic
I swear to god if I hear someone call a "wraith" a "wrath" one more time I'm going to break something.
are you sure he wasn't talking the up-armored variant of the Wraith?
But what if they're calling the edgelord player out, or if it's a wrathful wraith operating a wrathful wraith wrathfully
Little did we know MasterChief is actually pronounced MisterChef
Also I kind of get triggered when people mix up the hornet with the falcon in reach, also a marine in the campaign couldn’t say “revenant”
LMFAO
Wait is this real?
I pronounce it Revenaunt
Marine: "Reve-Revn-Rev-alien dead"
Glacier depends on where you from. For example, In the UK, it's a lot more common to say Glay-see-uh, even for the natural Icy formation version. That's not a "wrong" pronunciation, it's just different depending on where you are from.
Glay-see-er is the correct pronunciation. In English at least.
9:55 YES! Petty Officer Mister Chief. I love it😂😂
Buck literally in game on that mission says “wait hold on a second! That’s a “Gorrse” hog”
4:08 excuse me but, what in sam hell is a puma!?
It's a Red vs Blue reference, one of the early episode
I think it's some kind of cat
@@yobeefjerky42 Stop makin up animals!
No no no, it's obviously called a walrus.
@@MrAvenger711 That comment was also a reference to Red vs Blue
I wonder when the “Graveyard” will return
me: "i bet he's gonna mispronounce mjölnir"
sloth: "mjolnir"
me: "ah there it is"
Also Gungnir
And pronunciation
And puma
Can't say I've ever heard Hayaboosta. I just pronounce it Hi-boo-sa
He’s referencing a song about the hayabusa armor made back in the halo3 days. The joke was that noobs thought it would boost your rank while wearing it cus you just looked so cool. Highly recommend listening to it, just look up halo 3 hayabusa song
I hear mispronunciations on a regular basis . . .
I've never cared how its said lol i just play while eating cookies
What kind of cookies
@@lexiplays1252 the ones that make you eat like this NOM NOM NOM NOM
Epic 🤛🏻
as a young child i pronounced warthog as "war thog" and the scarab as "skrab"
I'm a member of the first but not the second.
I never knew what a scarab was when I was little so I thought it was some kind of crab
I’m a member of the second but not the first.
I called the wraith a scarab and the scarab the wraith, cause the wraith looks like the bug scarab and the scarab looked like a wraith; gray spirit one sees seconds before death.
2 skrabs i repeat 2 skrabs
4:09
“What in Sam hell is a puma ?!”
Its like a big cat
Like a lion
5:20 Yep, I definitely want my life cut into pieces after hearing all these terrible mispronunciations
I never heard most of these mispronunciations. Thank God I would have a brain aneurysm if I heard them on a consistent basis.
*The* Spartan. I suppose you are a person of refined culture after all.
The great journey begins.
4:07 Puma lol
what in sam hell is a puma
Thank you
like a puma the big cat
He mispronounced Johan lol its "Yo Han"
Also with his tag, people pronounce it like Ja not Jan
@@jerryhoward6500 interesting, must be a dialect or heritage thing
"you probably have dug into the lore"
me, a halo veteran: yes
Not a mispronunciation but more a fun fact that came to mind with the GaussHog section: the MAC guns (giant cannons on any UNSC facility, like in Halo 4 when you arm the cannons to fire on the Didact) are basically very very large Gauss cannons, they fire a giant mass of metal using magnetic coils
Okay turret, and hayaboosta are common mispronunciations but the scarab is ABSOLUTELY A MEGAZORD!
Why does everyone mispronounce the “ts” sound even when they are trying to explain to people it’s its own sound, it’s not just the s sound, the t isn’t completely silent just mostly so
LQKing’s Personally Channel Like how people still pronounce tsunami like “soo-nah-nee.”
Lewa, Toa of Air that’s not even correct, the ts is meant to mimic a letter in Japanese that doesn’t have a sound equivalent in English and is as close as you can get with English lettering. The problem is it’s not actually that hard to do and is basically what sh and ch is but with a different sound, the problem is people just make the t silent rather than try to make the sound and that most people don’t even know it’s supposed to be like the ch and sh.
LQKing’s Personally Channel That’s my point. I learned how to pronounce the sound from studying a little Japanese, myself.
I think the problem also has to do with the Ts sound’s lack of noticeable usage in English. Yes, it is used, but usually at the end of words. If it’s at the start of a word, native speakers get confused. It’s similar to how Ng is supposed to be its own sound, but people try to pronounce the G when they see this digraph at the start of a word. (The difference with Ts is in trying to figure out how to pronounce it. And it’s silly that common approaches aren’t the same.)
Basically, with English by itself being all jumbled and confusing to the point of warranting videos like this one, the confusion and misconceptions worsen when considering other languages and fictional terms.
How do you pronounce it?
Hey Elijah remember that parkour we were doing on my map?
I want to see the map
WickedSOADMAN2 my gt is il M3RKER li
The Africans in Sadie's story mispronounce "Elephant" for a reason
A J in German is pronounced like a Y in English, making that guy's name YO-hahn
Military types have a tendency to bend acronyms into pronounceable words, so "Eva" would probably be very common among the Spartans
If you're having trouble with Tsavo or Czar, try beatboxing boots and cats, and then isolate the "ts" sound, since that doesn't belong at the beginning of words in Romance languages
Liam Thompson Yeah, it’s not too hard to learn the “ts” sound.
If you turn on captions when they say elephant it’s captioned “oliphant” I think it’s an African thing
Lol, this reminds me of when my brother and I would play as kids. We always called plasma “palsma.” Those were the good days...
I call them dogs. I’m not dignifying the prometheans by actually calling them what they want.
8:07 "in halo 2..."
*shows halo CE footage
xd
Wrong time stamp lmfaoooo
@@short4071 M8, thanks for the answer, i didn't know that i wrote it wrong XD
"German Physicist "Joe-Han" 😂 Pretty sure it's pronounced "Yo-Han."
Also, (mildly unrelated) what's up with Americans pronouncing German surnames wrong all the time? Einstein is obviously pronounced Eye'n-st-eye'n. Also, Ein, pronounced Eye'n. So for names that end in Stein, why do they pronounce it Steen? It's never been Steen 😂 I hear "Epsteen" all the time, and it drives me insane! Just a side-rant.
If it's ie, then it's Steen.
If it's ei, then it's Stine.
Yeah seriously. I'm American and my last name is Steinway, so I hear "steen" a lot. So annoying
It depends on the person whose name it is. For example, two US presidents: Teddy Roosevelt said Roose, rhyming with booze, whereas Franklin D Roosevelt said Roose, rhyming with rose. Some ancestor of Jeffery Epstein must've said Epsteen and it just stuck.
I'm sure your people, whoever they are, mispronounce American stuff too - it's just a human thing.
@@thenecrolept Aye, true enough. I've always tried pronouncing names in particular by the origin of the country. I'm just trying to think of specifically American words.
Perhaps even my surname is pronounced wrong. I've heard it being pronounced differently several times. Rowell, beginning with Row, can be both Row as in argument, and Row as in rowing a boat. Since it's a derivative of "de Rothwell," technically I should be pronouncing it like "Roh-well" instead of "Ra-wool."
You make a good point though. While I used America as an example, it's really everywhere.
It's a puma 🤣😂
You missed a few/got some wrong:
Master Chief is “Mister Chef”
Mendicant Bias is “minty-fresh basis”
Promethean is “Prom meat-eater”
Reach is “ree-ach”
The Spirit of Fire is “The Sprite of Fear”
The Cole Protocol is “The Colee Protocol”
A banshee is “batshit”
A scarab is “scrapper”
The Silent Cartographer is “The Silenced Carpenter”
The Prophet of Regret is “The Profit off Ringo”
A warthog is “chubra-thingy”
John Forge is “yahn for-geh”
Unggoy are “uncle Roy”
Battle Rifle is “Beetle Rightward”
A mongoose is “moon gust”
Dr Halsey is “Doctor How salty”
Cortana is “waifu”
The Rookie is “The Rocky”
And Bungie is "bun-guy"
Bruh the silenced carpenter
Once i got a friend that had never played Halo before, play thru Reach - 3. He always said "Halo Chief" as in Master Chief. Now i always say "Halo Chief", what a name.
7:30 That is the British English way of saying glacier. It is closer to being the right way than the wrong way!
Overacheeevers...
He’s talking about words that are hard to pronounce and he says “pronounciate” within the first ten seconds
In the vein of adding letters that aren't there, I have friends that say "equipt." "I'm going to equipt that" so I always have to reply with "Did you or did you not equip it?"
The guasshog and Tsavo highway got me
Ahh yes.... *The American language as a very finely crafted, aged to a crisp.*
MoonFlux then slammed into a wall at 1000 mph
Oliphant is a elephant in my lang....
I wish people would type these things into google translate then they could hear its pronunciation. Toot Toot!
Watching this post-Halo Infinite, the Tartarus = tartar sauce mispronunciation is part of some dialogue that a marine will say to brutes they're attacking. Something along the lines of: "why dont you go back to your tartar sauce or how ever you say his name."
My girl just called Master Chief “Mr. Halo” the other day
Gephyrophobia was my favorite multiplayer level when I was a little kid. Not that I actually ever gotten to play on it with other people, I remember I was just proud I could pronounce it xD
I’m actually glad you clarified Jorge and Halsey.
I could tell if he was saying ma’am or mum.
The puma and last resort jokes were actually pretty funny. Caught me off guard with those
Having grown up with the french version of Halo CE where Master Chief was translated as Master Chef, for some odd reasons, that one's itched into my brain, I do catch myself defaulting to calling him the Master Chef here an there every now and then.
4:02 Extra Vehicular Activity means space stuff without a vehicle to keep you safe
EVA makes reference to space exploration, as our space suits designed to withstand the vacuum of space are called EVA suits as well.
