In Spanish there is a similar problem, the greek letter Theta (θ), its pronunciation means "boob", so most math teachers on high school have to pronounce it like "theeta" ("títa" in Spanish pronunciation). And there is a double problem, as the Spanish word for sine is "seno", that is exactly the same word for "breast"; so, imagine our trigonometry classes on high school when you have to calculate the breast of boob: sin(θ)

Thanks thanks finally someone out there who notices that Uranus besides Earth is the only planet named from Greek mythology despite that LIKE EVERY OTHER PLANET is named from ROMAN gods. Uranus IS an unusual name (4:06) and I also want it to be named Caelus. We need a reform.
Well they translated anus to ano, urANO, we call that espanglish here, but yeah the dude/dudes that did that job were really lazy and probably did it because of the pronunciation. And the pronunciation given by google in CornerrecordZ's link is similar, like really just ignore the "s".
OmuBunta Uranus is called Urano in Spanish because it is the translation of the name of god Uranus from Roman Mythology. Like Neptuno to Neptune, Saturno to Saturn or Mercurio to Mercury. And "ur" in Spanish (that is pronounced /ur/ not /iur/) doesn't have any meaning. (Nota: El mensaje lo pongo a tu nombre proque va como respuesta al tuyo aunque supongo que la amyoría ya deberías saberlo. El objetivo es informar a aquellos cuya lengua madre no es el castellano)
My Latin teacher used to crack “Always put the em-PHA-sis on the right syl-LA-ble,” to remind us that Latin usually puts the stress on the next to last syllable, but Greek usually puts it two before the last. (Emphasis and syllable both being words derived from Greek.)
I've learned greek mythology back in korea and Uranus(The titan, not the planet) is pronounced "oo rah nos", based off the original version. So when I came to the US and learned that the planet was named after the titan, I pronounced it Ouranos, and were confused why everyone was saying "Your anus"
Uranus is the Latin spelling (like how all the other planets are named after Roman equivalents of Greek gods), and the Latin pronunciation was likely somewhere in between the Greek and the modern English. Maybe something like oo-RA-noos
If all the other planets are named after Roman gods, why wasn't Uranus named after its Roman equivalent, "Caelus." I prefer to call the seventh planet Caelus.
The Greeks call the planets by their Greek mythological counterpart, not their Roman name. For example, Mars is called Ares (A - rees). Venus is called Aphrodite (A - fro - thee - tee), etc . . . Thats how I learned the planets' names growing up, and it confused me when all other countries used both Roman and Greek names.
Caelus. Good idea. Forgot about that. I think of "Uranus" as the Latin name. While it is the Latin spelling, it was a borrowing from the Greek, Ouranos.

LARAUJO It's called that because when it was "discovered", people thought it was the only moon in the universe, so they didn't give it an official name. It stuck
As a science teacher I pronounce it "Ur-an-us". Yes, I get lots of laughs, but I just use it as an excuse to tell the kids that other teachers are cowards for not using that pronunciation. I also tell them I am always eager to hear a new joke about it... and use it as a 2-minute lesson that the kids are not as original as they might think... at which point they realise it is as good as a dad-joke. And no kid likes thinking their jokes are as bad as their dad's.
When I was in middle school the teacher has inflatable versions of the planet set up as the solar system. We kept getting in trouble for slapping Uranus. There was also plenty of Uranus jokes to go around believe me
+Dohn Joe I like the way people say "scientists" say Pluto isn't a planet, like anyone who wasn't a scientist ever had a stake in a planet we can only detect with scientific methods and you only know of because scientists found it, and told you it was called Pluto. It isn't like scientists took away your dog, they classified something and then reclassified it. You didn't even really know what Pluto looked like at the time it was reclassified, and have still probably never even seen it with your own eye, probably can't tell what it's made of, how far away it is, or even why it should be a planet.
Never thought about it. I am Russian and in my language Uranus sounds like (oo-ran) Уран. Funny how it sounds in english. I can't stop laughing my humor is really low.
Vilhelm Lied In Italian it’s pretty similar (oo-ran-o) and we never had any real problem with it. I love the English language but... tsk English speakers and their problems 💁♂️
@@beuwolf638 Ahah sarà che siamo abituati a parole "particolari", si vede che ne abbiamo così tante in più rispetto a loro che nemmeno ci facciamo caso 🤷🏻♂️
In Czech we just call it Uran, pronounced OO-run. This causes a lot of confusion when the "your anus" joke is used in almost every space-related comedy ever...
If they didn't want the name to be a joke they would have called it Caelus. Caelus is the Roman sky god, Uranus is the Greek sky god, all the other planets are named after Roman gods.
Technically, he isn't a greek god. He is the father of the titans, who were the parents of the gods. He originally ruled over the sky. Then his titan son killed him. Then Zeus killed the titan son (whose name I forgot). Greek mythology is very, very complex.

Illustrations of the depth of uranus compared to neptune's
I’m 13 so I guess I still have a couple years left to laugh at “Uranus” without being a social outcast
I for one am thoroughly sick of Uranus being the butt of all these jokes.
!a
Lol XD
Me too.
Ah, the irony in this one is a delicious meal, thanks!
Brilliant! Ba dum tss
Isn't it better to say you-ran-us
cookies or coffee. Just say Ouranus. Like the Roman/Greek primordial being
brodie bligh so the communist name?
Sebastian Stark actually in Soviet Russia we call it oo-RUN. Oh, no, Уран calls us...
I didn't run you...
cookies or coffee. I think coffee. But you didn't put a question mark so...
Why are people still trying to change Uranus' pronunciation when our own moon is still officially just called "The Moon"
The Moon is officially called ' Luna '
Luna is just using another language for "moon".. Not a real name other than just another language.
Manchagrande Collisto That's just Latin for moon
LARAUJO It's called that because when it was "discovered", people thought it was the only moon in the universe, so they didn't give it an official name. It stuck
I vote for Luna.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, King George!, and Neptune.
As a science teacher I pronounce it "Ur-an-us". Yes, I get lots of laughs, but I just use it as an excuse to tell the kids that other teachers are cowards for not using that pronunciation.
I also tell them I am always eager to hear a new joke about it... and use it as a 2-minute lesson that the kids are not as original as they might think... at which point they realise it is as good as a dad-joke. And no kid likes thinking their jokes are as bad as their dad's.
That's.. that's really smart.
Joel Reid that's brilliant! :D
Damn, that's smart!
When I was in middle school the teacher has inflatable versions of the planet set up as the solar system.
We kept getting in trouble for slapping Uranus. There was also plenty of Uranus jokes to go around believe me
lol
I would love to slap Uranus
I bet one of the uttered: "Uranus is Thicc!"
Lol

Me a Greek: " I have no such weakness"
😎
Me a portuguese: "i too have such weakness"
I think nobody but the English have this weakness
@@Stefan0R8 yeah here we say Urano
Me an indonesian : i have no such weakness
I hear ur-in-us with the alternative way to pronounce it
Grade Teacher: What Is This Planet Called?
Grade Student: Uranus!
The Rest of The Class: 👁️👄👁️
Underatted man
actually in greek it's pronounced ou-ra-NOS
Nobody:
Me in middle school: “my Venus in Uranus”
...Yeah that’s definitely weird
LMAOOOO
hilarious and original
@the person who asked LOL
Okay...
If scientists can say that Pluto is no longer a planet, I feel we can change this planet's name to King George.
Yes mate
+Dohn Joe that's totally how science works
Three British monarchs from now, and the name will be accurate.
I call Uranus King George. 🌑
+Dohn Joe I like the way people say "scientists" say Pluto isn't a planet, like anyone who wasn't a scientist ever had a stake in a planet we can only detect with scientific methods and you only know of because scientists found it, and told you it was called Pluto.
It isn't like scientists took away your dog, they classified something and then reclassified it. You didn't even really know what Pluto looked like at the time it was reclassified, and have still probably never even seen it with your own eye, probably can't tell what it's made of, how far away it is, or even why it should be a planet.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, George, Neptune and Pluto. Perfection
Never thought about it. I am Russian and in my language Uranus sounds like (oo-ran) Уран. Funny how it sounds in english. I can't stop laughing my humor is really low.
Тоже самое... ("Same")
Vilhelm Lied In Italian it’s pretty similar (oo-ran-o) and we never had any real problem with it. I love the English language but... tsk English speakers and their problems 💁♂️
@@Jegcopo che poi scusa, anche noi diciamo rinculo, ma non ne facciamo un caso nazionale. Tipi strani gli inglesi...
@@beuwolf638 Ahah sarà che siamo abituati a parole "particolari", si vede che ne abbiamo così tante in più rispetto a loro che nemmeno ci facciamo caso 🤷🏻♂️
Same in Polish, Uran. Slavic languages seem to like dropping the -us ending in Latin words and -os in Greek ones.
In Lithuanian, we just say Ooh-RAH-nus. Exactly as it is written, simple as that.
Same with romanian
In Czech we just call it Uran, pronounced OO-run. This causes a lot of confusion when the "your anus" joke is used in almost every space-related comedy ever...
I never understood that joke until I saw this comment. Thank you so much
According to Futurama, it was renamed in the 2600's to solve the problem. The name they went for was 'Urectum'.
Wasn't it named : "let's never make that stupid joke ever again?"
Is it pronounced u-rectum or ur-rectum?
I was fortunate enough to not notice it untill now... Thanks for dirtifying my mind for the rest of my life!!
I told my girlfriend that I saw a dark spot on Uranus and she broke up with me.
Why did you travel trough time just to comment this?
she's not worth your time then
r/thathappened
r/wooooosh
She is not interested in Uranus?
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
"YOU SAY- THE PRICE OF MY LOVE IS NOT A PRICE THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO PAY!"
Neptune
Yes, indeed. *another Hamilton fan*
I was waiting for this comment
Pluto
yes
Finally someone acknowledges that "urine-us" is an equally silly pronunciation.
If they didn't want the name to be a joke they would have called it Caelus.
Caelus is the Roman sky god, Uranus is the Greek sky god, all the other planets are named after Roman gods.
No, he's right.
He is right dumbass
To martyr Uranos was a titan not a god
You are wrong on both points. Uranos was a Protogenoi, NOT a Titan, and the Titans WERE gods. And yes, Caelus would have been a fitting name.
Julian Parsons oh get the fuck outta here with your technicalities
Since I was young, I have always pronounced it as
oo-ran-ose
Jack Jackharold ..... That is the spanish pronunciation ................. You speak spanish, don't you ?
I'm danish and that is how we pronounce it here.
Uranus: *pluto*
Myanus: *JUPITER*
Why not just change it to something that's not funny? Like Urectum or something.
Futurama reference? :3
+Sussurus Urectum? damm near killed um... ugh I feel dirty...
they name planets after gods, they cant just make it up
zSlayerSkull YT
The Joke
Your head
Also, FYI, "Earth" is not a God. Also, King George is not a God but was almost the name of Venus.
+Sussurus futurama referance
Oo-ran-os like the classic greek god is a lot nicer imo
Sounds nice, going to start pronouncing it liek that in hopes of starting a trend.
Well it is the german way to pronounce it too (since the name was suggested by a german), so yeah, do that.
Oo ran us? Doesn’t sound fun
I like it though ;D
Technically, he isn't a greek god. He is the father of the titans, who were the parents of the gods. He originally ruled over the sky. Then his titan son killed him. Then Zeus killed the titan son (whose name I forgot). Greek mythology is very, very complex.
