Timenn Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 You may have heard that different people have different ways of pronouncing the Fremen sayings. Like Bi-La Kaifa, Ya Hya Chouhada, Taqwa etc.There is no way to determin the right way of pronouncing, since the English language is as irregular as the movement of a photon :)But I like to know, what is your way to pronounce it. I mean which one do you like most.Please write in some sort of phonetic language. Or add a sound file.My ways:Ya Hya Chouhada: Y (as in you)a (as in father)H (as in hat)y (as in three)a (as in father)Ch (as t-s-you)ou (as in you)h (as in hat)a (as in father)d (as in day)a (as in father)Bi-La Kaifa:B (as in boat)i (as in three)L (as in late)a (as in father)K (as in come)a (as in father)i (as in threef (as in very)a (a long a)Taqwa:T (as in take)a (as in father)q (as in come)w (as in way)a (a long a)Please post yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
