princesanji Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hey! So I struggeled a bit with it and sent an email to Debs Wild who kindly replied a few minutes ago (which was pretty fast) :awesome: So here's it: Hello! Ha ha, that's quite funny as I've been quietly saying it wrong in my head for months! Chris has explained how to say it in his hand written note (PS it's pronounced my-lo zy-letoe (or / 'maɪləʊ 'zaɪlətəʊ / if you speak phonetics) but to break it down one step further: my lo zy (rhymes with my) le (rhymes with the) toe Hope that helps. X Isn't she great? :awesome: :laugh1: :waffle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I swear I will never be able to pronounce it, and seeing how much I dislike it I'll go the short way and call it MX :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lutzno Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 by "the" does she mean theeee like bee, or the? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 the like the short the.... (similar to the sound of the i in first, quickly....) by the way the first syllables are always stressed, so you'll get the hang of it when you say MYlo XYloto (stressed like "style"... hey, in sytleless only one "le" is audible practically, and that's the way xyloto sounds...)

jeremyy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 write it to google translate it reads ; maylo zayloto but i prefer German :D mülo ksiloto ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayisawesome Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 i'm guessing that when she says "the" she means "the" prounounced like "thuh," in which case Xyloto (Zy-luh-toe) is pronounced like xylophone, but with a different ending... So how do you pronounce the "Zy" part? Zeye? zee? like "my," but with a z, so... zzzz-i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor!42! Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I still don't get how it could be "le" as in the start of the word "leather". What i thought it was from chris' message was: My-Low Zy(rhymes with buy or eye)-low(rhymes with dough)-tow i don't get where the "le" comes from "lo".....i actually like the name though.

princesanji Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 ya i thought it was zy-low-toe at first, but as deb says it's zy-letoe darn i should have asked whether it's sy (voicy- s, so basically a z sound) or tsy (hard z) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_escapist Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Yesterday I thought that Chris should have recorded the name and post it with the announcement. That way it would be very clear how is the pronunciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
