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.

Isn't she great? :awesome: :laugh1:

:waffle:

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

sorry dp

by "the" does she mean theeee like bee, or the?

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...)

So how do you pronounce the "Zy" part?

 

 

Zeye?

zee?

The pronunciation of the computer voice is nearly perfect! :)

write it to google translate it reads ; maylo zayloto

but i prefer German :D mülo ksiloto !

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

:lol: Thanks!

Thanks for confirming this I didnt want to get it wrong!!!

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.

"MY-lo Zy-lo-toe" Coldplay Messenger

 

So: My-lo Z-I-lo-tlo :thinking:

 

Still gonna call it LP5 :P

^ haha, much easier but less extravagant

:P

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)

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.

^That is what i asked from Debs originally :laugh1:

I think I'm just gonna wait til the band says it and say it like that. :D
