Housepets!

I was wondering how to pronounce Bino's name.

I've always said it as Bee-no, but I can see how it would also be pronounced Bin-o or Bye-no.

i think bye-no

I pronounce Bino's name as "bee-no", that's also how it sounds read in Italian. It has to be written Byno for the "bye-no" pronouncing and Bin'o for the "Bin-o" one. The same rule is with Fido's name.

In English, just as Fido's name is pronounced Fie-do, Bino's name is pronounced Bie-no.
IPA (GA): ˈfaɪˌdoʊ, ˈbaɪˌnoʊ

(This is Word of Rick, by the by. It's buried somewhere deep in the forums, and I don't have time right now to dig it out)

I'm 99.9% sure it's pronounced "Bye-no"
And Tarot is pronounced "Tero"

The languages expert demolished my reply, this had to happen. So it's something like "bye-no". Anyone can pronounce it as pleases...

Fido (pronounced "fee-do") is a typical dog name in Italy, the most known (it's even used as way to define the pet dog). Probably it's derived from a form of the verb "fidare" (trust), intending the affinity between the dog and the owner ("mi fido di te", I trust you). But, it's also a male person name (unused, I guess ).

I just pronounced it as "Bee-no."

Here's a brief video. I mispronounced Lucretia, it should be closer to the Latin pronunciation.

Has that video been stashed away for this very moment?

no, it hasn;t exactly been stashed away at all. He's posted it to answer this question a few times

You say "they're pronounced exactly how they look" but Tarot does not look like "Taer-oh", it looks like "Taer-out".

So the Chinese transcription of Bino is wrong after all. It sounds like "Bee-No" rather than "Bye-No."
It might be too late to correct it now since we've been using it for years. I guess it's fine to just leave it be.

B-I-N-_-O

And Bino was his name-o!

Well now I got to retrain myself to pronounce Bino's name as the way it was intended.

Diss looks a lot younger then I thought.

It is indeed strange to see the true face of our Devil Skirrl.
Unless he is indeed a squirrel, but he's wearing a human suit.

Well I didn't see a zipper so I'm sure he is legit.

We're talking about a squirrel here - he could easily have hid an appropriately sized zipper beneath the shirt.

True, so now we will all only be left to wonder.

Thread has outlived it's usefulness.
