Alduin=Al-Doon? Al-Doo-In? Al-Doo? Al-Dwin? : V - Skyrim

Al-Du-In. ^_^

Al-do-een is how I say it (which is based off the pre-trailer chanting at the VGAs, which is identifiable as the second stanza of the translated text on the back of GI's cover.)

Al-duh-in.

I say http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Bundy-Do-Inn.

If it was spelled Aldeuin it would be pronounced Al-de-yoo-in

Lol. I've always pronounced it Al-doo-in

All-Do-?n

I say "all-doo-in" but this thread makes me think it's actually "all-doo-een."

I say it: AL DO IN

When I say it like Esbern: AL DU EEN

I say it like looks. So, for me it's Al-dew-in

It reminds me of an ancient mystical Scottish term - Auld Yin (meaning Old One) :biggrin:

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 2:06 am

Al-dwin for me.

Thanks for all the inputs guys, I guess Bethesda will give us an answer soon like in maybe a trailer :thumbsup:

I say Al-dyew-in. I lay no claim to any knowledge on this at all though

[Edit] changed the spelling as it's how others are describing it, and it's the same as what I was going for (so that there's no confusion)

More like, AL-Dew-In.

:P

Most Elder Scrolls naming is said how it is spelled. In the imperial sense. The most common vowel soundings.

A = ahhhh
E = (the Letter)
I = eye, OR as in if, when used in conjuction with another vowel, such as U
O = oh
U = You

There are other rules, of course, but Highschool English teaches how to read new words.

As a German I never asked myself that question - it's just Alduin, duh!

Al Doo Een, with the A as in Amish.

This.
