In english, eh-van-jel-yon
in japanese, eh-ban-ger-yon

Evan-Jelly-On
Also Misato best girl

It starts with a soft e and not a hard e? Man I feel like a jackass

Why does the hard g sound in the Japanese pronunciation become a soft g in the English pronunciation?

Like how you would pronounce Evangelist or Angel.

Correct

Happens a lot between Japanese and English, especially with that sort of g.

WRONG

Eyy-vahn-gel-eon.

I think its a misreading of the word Euangelion which is a greek word from the bible meaning good news

Seeing someone read the "u" as a "v" after all the other biblical references in the series seems like the most logical conclusion

...

エヴァンゲリオン

Rei is too pure for that. Delete this.

No one is too pure for anything.

Eevan-j-ayy-lmao

ee-vahn-jee-lye-ohn

Reminder that Shinji is straight

E-VAN-JE-LEE-ON

The heart has no gender.

Reminder that Shinji and Kaworu banged off screen.

Oh, Neon Genesis Evanjellyon

Rei>Mari>Misato>>>>>>>>literal shit>>>>>Asuka

Modern Greek pronounces Eu- as Ev-

He said it wrong on purpose. Just like how the kid said that mass produced Eva was one of the good guys.

It's pronounced as O-ver-ray-ted

Take that back

eh-bang-geh-ree-on

Because nips can't English for shit

In french, eh-van-jil

Ee vahn jelly on

Like "Evangelist".

Please explain it to me why Ritsuko naked in front of Seele?

>They want to examine Rei
>No they won't, because I sent them something else to examine for

What the hell

I think it is misread stylistically. It doesn't matter because it is cool. So, 'evangelion' then, with hard g.
It's a Greek word used as far back as Odyssey. The bible is Koine Greek.
>Modern Greek pronounces Eu- as Ev-
That's true, but wouldn't it be ivang-jilion then? Koine Greek is the same too, except the earlier era.

Ive always said gelly-on

I dont care if jelly-on is right, because it sounds less pretentious

I also needlessly use the japanese names when discussing popular dubbed animes

>ivang-jilion
Wait, I was wrong. It should be 'evang jellion' then.

I always thought the first E was pronounced like "eae" or "ayy"

Eaevangelion

Ayyvangelion

It sounds cooler.

Before I knew Evangelion was a real word, I used to pronounce it as:
Ev-ahn-gel-lion.

DAY VERSUS NIGHT

Reminder that Shinji banged Rei on screen

So disappointing how in Evangelion 3, Rei and Asuka were about to go toe to toe, but then only whacked eachother once and stopped.

I wanted a red/blue fight

Ee-van-jelly-hon

A-Van-Jelly-on

Evan-jelly-on

Eva-angel-lion

You'd have to be subhuman to like any of the Eva fights in 3.

eh-ban-gerry-on

energy with g pronounced like j in jelly in english becomes enerugee with g for gas in jap

howjsay.com/pronunciation-of-evangelion

It's the same in both modern and ancient, the digraph 'eu' is pronounced either 'ef' or 'ev'. It's the reason why, for example, Zeus is supposed to be pronounced "Zefs" (regardless of the fact that English doesn't care).

Yes, it's Ev as in "every". Not AYYY.

Eh-van-ghel-e-on

I think canon is Ayy-von-gell-yon, but I've always said it Eve-ann-jell-yun because it just seems natural to pronounce it the same way as "evangelical"

The Attic Greek diphthong was Eh-oo to my knowledge, but in any case you're right that they dropped that shit real quick. It's been Ev/Ef for at least a millennium if not two.

The way Misato says it in one of those "next week on..." teasers.

...

eh van gel ion

not EE van JELL ion

It literally doesn't, that user is wrong. Japanese can pronounce the "j" sound as in "jikan" and the "g" sound as in "genki", they use the "g" sound in evangelion because it's correct.

There's always been a few "muh personal rules" cases, like the Erasmian "digraphs are 2hard4me so I'll ignore them" method, but this is how it's always been normally.

You sure about that? The sources I'm reading say that treating the back half of ευ as a consonant was a Koine phenomenon.

You mean you have to promise sebisu without ever delivering it?

Reminder that Shinji only liked it when Kaworu did it

this

Thank fucking God for this thread, I still didn't know.

Every time I tried to recommend this anime, I sounded like a glitching retard with a stutter

The Erasmian method has heavily influenced various English sources, unfortunately.

E-van-jelly-on
Like any normal person would.

>rebuilds
literally remove yourself from this world permanently

Ευαγγέλιον

God damn, I miss that son of a bitch.

Only in your deluded mind

LATIN ALPHABET, BAKA, CAN YOU READ IT?

The only right answer.

evangelion come from the french verb Evangeliser. so evanJelion.

Which in turn came from?

Patrician choice.

latin i guess, most french are related to latin.

which has a hard G. Like in "ignorant".

nobody s in france tell evan GUE lisation, its more close from a evanJelisation. like in genius.

That's irrelevant, since it's a Greek word.

And in Anno's deluded mind too, apparently.

This is correct. 'ge' needs to be with french accent

even jelly on

Man of culture tier: E-van-GEL-ee-on
Commoner tier: E-ven-JEL-ee-on
Filthy plebeian tier: e-VAN-jel-EE-on

same way you pronounce αγγελος, only with an ευ in front

Soooo ευάγγελος?

Eyy van (HARD)Gel eeon
Evan_Gelion with the G not sounding like a J

Or evanjellydoghnut if your a retard

The Swedish way, which is pretty similar to the Japanese way. Just with properly pronounced v and l. No weird English diphthongs, pronounced as the latin alphabet should be pronounced.

Eva jelly on
the n is silent

Евангелион obviously.

E-van-jelly-on
