Differences in accent are going to affect how you say anything.

There's no singular right way to say a word, because accents come into play. Take bath, for example. Some accents pronounce it with an extended "a" phoneme, some with a more brief "a".

So[i]ro[i]ritas
Soro[i]ri[i]tas

Same word, just pronounced differently. There is no right or wrong way.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6406155.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6406155.page GMT how is "sororitas" pronounced?

It's pseudo latin.

If you translate it, it doesn't make that much sense. Adepta, for example, means "Obtained." Which in context, doesn't make that much sense. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6407119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6407119.page GMT how is "sororitas" pronounced?
Adepta is an attempt to put a feminine sounding ending on Adeptus - which I believe is gender neutral (happy to be corrected).

Soror means sister, Sororitas doesn't mean anything in Latin.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6409292.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6409292.page GMT Re:how is "sororitas" pronounced?

I fully agree with you post, but the only nitpicky criticism I have is that your post seems to imply that German is closer to Latin than (American)English, while English is actually more closely related to Latin than German is.

Also, High Gothic isn't even an actual language of any kind, it is just Latin sounding gibberish.

It certainly reads like a Southern drawl...

Yeah, because 'toss' in a normal accent (I'm teasing!) is in no way pronounced like something spelled with an 'a'.


It kind of does, since the "tas" of "Sororitas" sounds more like "toss" than it does "taz". "Sororitas" also does not rhyme with "margaritas".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6419935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6419935.page GMT how is "sororitas" pronounced?

Gaol is not pronounced jail in australia, it's gay-ol.

Also, in brazil, d's are pronounced as j's I believe. So Deus is pronounced jey-us.

Now Sororitas is a made-up latin word.

IT combines soror, almost sister with the word-ending "Tas". tas is tacked onto words that are a quality.
You have gravitas, or dignitas, if you're virtuous, it's veritas.

This is always pronounced as tus. Soror is pronounced so-roar, like in so-roar-it-ee

so, so-roar-ee-tus]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6426154.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6426154.page GMT Re:how is "sororitas" pronounced? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6426408.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6426408.page GMT how is "sororitas" pronounced? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6426670.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571766/6426670.page GMT how is "sororitas" pronounced?
