SATAN'S SON yes please! honestly, I love the creativity of all the names, but we NEED a guide. not all of us know what the author was thinking when he/she was writing the book.
Yeah, I pronounced Cyra “SEE-ruh”, Eijeh “Ay-jay”, and Thuvhe “THOO-vay”. It’s interesting how people interpret names in books differently! When I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when I was 7, I pronounced Hermione “HERM-ee-own”. Oh well!
Thank you so much for this pronunciation guide!! I had no clue on how to pronounce any of these names and now I do! This will come in very handy when I pick up the book! :) -Kaelyn
what's the origin of the names? they are quite wierd. i must say. it never ceases to amaze me how and from where does fantasy fiction authors come up with such strange names.
RYZEK would be perfectly standard Czech surname and it means "ginger, as a colour". Another Czech inspired name would be NOAVEK - its Czech version "Novák" is the most common surname in the Czech Republic. AKOS sounds Greek. THUVHE sounds Finnish. :-)
WHAT?! BRUH this whole time I been saying "cyra [Sih]rah (like syrup), akos [ay]kos, Thuvhe [thoov]hay, Noavek [no]vek, ryzek [rye]zek, Eijeh [eye]jay, Isae [eye]say, Orieve [or]eev (I kinda gave up on that one lol)
i'm surprised i pronounced everything besides Ryzek correctly. i thought it was pronounced Rai-zek i'm Dutch. A lot of words are pronounced like how dutch sounds. I loved the book btw ;)
I thought Thuvhe was pronounced Thu-av-hey and Ryzek was rye-zek I always just pronounced Eijeh as Elijah because I actually had no clue how to say it. Thank god this video exists
i pronounced noavek like no-vay-eck for some reason. i got shotet, yma, vas, kereseth, aoseh, sifa, cisi, and akos right, but my pronunciations for the rest were cyra=seer-a, ryzek=r-eye-zeck, thuvhe=thoov, isae=ee-s-eye, orieve=or-eeve
It’s really funny that I had totally different pronunciations for this book 😂 I could create my own book full of different places and people with my viewpoints 😂😂😂
I just finished The Fates Divide (Carve the Mark #2) and is it just me or does anyone else think that the smile Veronica Roth gives after introducing Aoseh is weird? (in a way) *evil laugh*
It would be useful if authors included IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription of their characters' names in the book. It frustrastes me a great deal when I am not able to know the correct pronunciation- for me it is sometimes the reason to put the book down. Studying English as a foreign language I know the IPA very well....so SORRY all you native speakers:-)
Am I the only who is disappointed with some of the pronunciations I like the way I was saying them so I will carry on to do so ALTHO I LOVEE THE BOOK🔥❤ MY pronunciations. . Cyra ...s-eye-ra same as hers Akos...ay-kos ❤ different Orieve...oree-yeeve That it althooo I have always said kereseth as ke-ze-reth (kesereth )❤❤ I just think it should have been tht ..am I alone?
Can we just get one of these for every author
SATAN'S SON yes please! honestly, I love the creativity of all the names, but we NEED a guide. not all of us know what the author was thinking when he/she was writing the book.
this really help right AFTER I finished the book lol
Pegster _ True XD
ikr i’ve been saying cyra as Kye-ruh instead of si-ruh smh
when you were hearing the names all wrong in your head and you can't get used to the actual version
Right
Same though
OMG this is not how I pronounced anything while I was reading the book
Madison Elizabeth saaaame! I pronounced Cyra like Ky-ruh
Karen Cris i pronounced her name like that too, and to be honest i think it sounds better like that
Madison Elizabeth I pronounced Akos like Ay Kos
I pronounced 'Eijah' as AY-ya, with a silent 'j' because I thought that as a Thuvhesit name it was supposed to sound gentler. Boy was I wrong.
Yeah, I pronounced Cyra “SEE-ruh”, Eijeh “Ay-jay”, and Thuvhe “THOO-vay”. It’s interesting how people interpret names in books differently! When I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when I was 7, I pronounced Hermione “HERM-ee-own”. Oh well!
"...and tris prior's boyfriend is tobias(tow-bah-yas)" 😂
Jesusa Bagay yes, tris prior (treese pree-are)’s boyfriend
Wait..... That's not how you pronounce it?!??
Years later as an avid fan and just now I figure out I am wrong.
It sometimes makes me wonder if authors get their name ideas from babies trying to talk
Rachel Hwang This is so true
Rachel Hwang
omg YOU!! I remember reading another one of your comments from a selection video!! Girl we have great taste in books
facts
Started the book, couldn't pronounce anything, watched this video, loved the book even more
This should speed up the reading. No more pausing to sound it out! lol Thank you!! This helps!
Thank you so much for this pronunciation guide!! I had no clue on how to pronounce any of these names and now I do! This will come in very handy when I pick up the book! :) -Kaelyn
what's the origin of the names?
they are quite wierd. i must say.
it never ceases to amaze me how and from where does fantasy fiction authors come up with such strange names.
The only name that was quite familiar was Akos which is a very popular hungarian name. About the others I have no idea. :)
RYZEK would be perfectly standard Czech surname and it means "ginger, as a colour". Another Czech inspired name would be NOAVEK - its Czech version "Novák" is the most common surname in the Czech Republic. AKOS sounds Greek. THUVHE sounds Finnish. :-)
I just started reading the book and I never realized how I was pronouncing the words wrong while I was reading 😂 THIS IS SO USEFUL
This made me laugh so much. I got everything but Noavek and Shotet wrong.
Apparently I just found out that I literally pronounced EVERYTHING wrong!
I'm here because I was tripping over Aoseh! Thank you!
WHAT?! BRUH this whole time I been saying "cyra [Sih]rah (like syrup), akos [ay]kos, Thuvhe [thoov]hay, Noavek [no]vek, ryzek [rye]zek, Eijeh [eye]jay, Isae [eye]say, Orieve [or]eev (I kinda gave up on that one lol)
This is so helpful!!! I've been pronouncing Thuvhe wrong this whole time!
I still don't understand how to pronounce it hahaha my first language is Spanish and I didn't understand the pronunciation
When you realize you’ve been pronouncing 90% of these wrong 🤦🏽♀️
i'm surprised i pronounced everything besides Ryzek correctly. i thought it was pronounced Rai-zek
i'm Dutch. A lot of words are pronounced like how dutch sounds. I loved the book btw ;)
The same for Spanish! I have the same problem with I (I don't know when it sounds like "e" or "I" English)
I loved this book! I would really enjoy there being a movies based on this book!
OH DO I NEED THIS
I pronounced like everything differently!
Why didn't I look for this before I finished the book
This will help a lot when my copy gets here. thanks! I'm excited to read Veronica's new book!
My pronunciation: Shotet - Thoov-hay - No-ay-vik - Cyra (No S sound, strong C sound) - R-i-zek - Yee-ma - Ay-koes - Ay-oh-suh - S-y-fa - Ey-juh (Soft J Sound) - Sisi - I-suh - Oriev
I pretty much pronounced all of them the same as you.
I thought Thuvhe was pronounced Thu-av-hey
and Ryzek was rye-zek
I always just pronounced Eijeh as Elijah because I actually had no clue how to say it.
Thank god this video exists
I don't understand yet how to pronounce Thuve!
Love this kind of vids
WOO I GOT CYRA AND CISI RIGHT (i’m never sure when i read those names)
First of all its cyra [sih]rah and [ay]kos and thats final.
what.the.fuck how am I supposed to remember this
I should've watched this before I read the book. I always pronouced Cyra as Kai Ra lol
Mi è servito tantissimo questo video!
That's a lot of information and different names but hopefully once I start reading it, it will come to me
OH MY GOD I WAS GONNA ASK IF YOU COULD DO THIS
I got six of the names correct ☺️😁
I had no idea how to pronounce Eijeh throughout the book so I just called him "eie"
Well dang. Good to have this.
Wow…I am actually surprised that I pronounced most of these correctly, all except for Ryzek, Aoseh, and Eijeh; that is.
i pronounced noavek like no-vay-eck for some reason. i got shotet, yma, vas, kereseth, aoseh, sifa, cisi, and akos right, but my pronunciations for the rest were cyra=seer-a, ryzek=r-eye-zeck, thuvhe=thoov, isae=ee-s-eye, orieve=or-eeve
Thank you very helpful 👍🏼
I NEED THIS!!!
I pronounced Ryzek as Ryzek!
I love that book ♥️
I came here cuz I'm starting the book right now and it's better to know names beforehand
I was waiting for ylira noavek lol
Only listened to a translation - how to buy an original abroad and how much will it cost?
Wow....this would have been so helpful before I finished the book TT-TT
Veronica i love you and your books but after hearing about so many difficult words in the book i am not going to buy it
😂 *JUST KIDDING*
The only things that I got right pronunciation wise was Kereseth and Noavek. And orieve's nickname Ori and Cisi
It’s really funny that I had totally different pronunciations for this book 😂 I could create my own book full of different places and people with my viewpoints 😂😂😂
Man I can’t read the book cause my name is said the same way as Cyra, I’m gonna get tripped out
wait but how do you pronounce Akos's last name tho
This book better not be made into a movie or I’m going to flip.
I always pronounce eijeh like Ajay
I just finished The Fates Divide (Carve the Mark #2) and is it just me or does anyone else think that the smile Veronica Roth gives after introducing Aoseh is weird? (in a way) *evil laugh*
My Life Is A Lie
Got Thuvhe and Cyra wrong, that'll take some getting used to. Super convienent video though!
Y en español como se pronuncian? igual?
how to read kereseth

I had a classmate once named Akos, but it's pronounced a bit different
Everyone should at least get akos pronunciation right
Its pronounced "SIGH-Ruh"??? I've been pronouncing it "SEE-ruh" this whole time *face palm*. Anyway, great book!
Wow, I feel bad...I literally pronounced Eijeh's name as "Asia" for the entire series...
Omg I like the book but I hate how EVERY name is super difficult to pronounce. It's kind of offputting
I pronounced akos name like 'ah-k-ohs'
WOW IVE BEEN MENTALLY PRONOUNCING THESE ALL WRONG
No issue for me as i am reading Chinese version
Wow. The only thing I’ve been pronouncing correctly is Akos and Cisi.
I’ve been pronouncing Thuvhe wrong for two books... I’ve been pronouncing it /thuvay/

Ohhh okay i kinda get it. Please don't be offended but i think the main characters in the story are kinda like arabic people... On ice?
so I've been mispronouncing 3/4 of the names this whole time
i got most of them right lol
I thought it was pronounced Kyra not Syra u know? was that just me?
Wth......I've been saying it wrong. EVERYTHING I said was wrong omg my life is ruined! The only name I got right is shotet.
It would be useful if authors included IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription of their characters' names in the book. It frustrastes me a great deal when I am not able to know the correct pronunciation- for me it is sometimes the reason to put the book down.
