How do you pronounce "Tser" ..?

Where does that word comes from?

I'd say I'd pronounce it "Tser" but that wouldn't be very helpful. Most people speaking English as their mothertongue have trouble pronouncing words that start with a hard consounant followed by a soft one (e.g., knowledge is "nowledge" and psychology is "sychology", the hard consounant getting simply removed from speech). So you can probably get away with saying "ser".
 

Take a short "T" sound, like from the end of the word "Hurt"

Then put that at the begining of the word "sir". Yes, sir. No, sir. Right away, sir.

"Tser".
 


I assume you're referring to Tser Pool in Expedition to Castle Ravenloft.

I've been pronouncing the first two letters just as the first two in tsunami. Sejs has it about right, I think.
 


Try "Tser" or "Tsaer" from the word tsunami [tsoo-nah-mee], or "Ser" or "Saer", if you are using a common mispronunciation of tsunami as the base word to support that, or finally "Teer" or "Taer", using the first syllable of one of the common pronunciation of the word tsetse. [tset-see, tet-, tsee-tsee, tee-]

My personal choice would probably be "Tsaer".

Hope That Helps,
Flynn
 



It's pronouned "mee-lee".

It must be, since so many gamers insist "mee-lee" is a word used in D&D, and it sure ain't melee, so this must be it.
