Pronunciation of Gaia

[xAvenirYuinax]

I pronouce it "Guy-uh."  

[Baka Gothic Kitsune]

I think it's "guy-uh." This website is anime based, meaning the pronunciation is probably intended to be similar to Japanese. In that case, "guy-uh" would be the proper pronunciation.  

[Cohedros]

It's a word of Greek origin; Greek doesn't have a "juh" sound, as far as I know of. Therefore, I think it's more likely "Guy-uh."  

[Buccellatte]

I say "guy-uh".  

[CosmicSweetss]

Guy-uh

Also, I think it's supposed to be spelled "Gaea" but I'm not sure.

>.> Feel free to correct anything here, I need the help! xd

"Gaia" is a Japanese word. Therefore, you must pronounce it how they would in Japanese. Here's the basic sounds:

A - "aah" like "lorax"
I - "eeh" like "bleach"
U - "ooh" like "über"
E - "eh" like "anime"
O - "oh" (I can't think of a word for this one.)

Thus, you pronounce Gaia like "Guy-ah"  

[PlatinumChild]

I pronounce it "Guy-ah", and so do my friends.

Oh god. Do NOT use über as an example.

über is pronounced with a sound unlike anything we have in English.

Nevermind the fact that Gaia isn't a Japanese word.  

[MistressIce]

It's guy-uh as in Gaia; earth.  

[Coco Goodies]

Um... I didn't know that. sweatdrop

 

[- Strike without Mercy -]

Yeah, Guy-uh, like how they say it in that final fantasy movie....you know, the Earth Spirit?

I pronounce it Guy-ah, just cause it seems the most natural to me. Never really gave it much thought :]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the word Gaia is not Japanese oriented but more so Greek.  

[little miss bass clarinet]

Gaia means mother earth in greek mythology.

Yes, it is pronounced guy-uh.

 

[Sweet Blushes]

Definitely Guy-uh, but then again, that is simply my opinion.
