GenTech1000 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I have a dumb question. How do you pronounce the word “mejoberry”? Is it pronounced “me-jo-berry” or “me-ho-berry”? I am legitimately confused about the pronunciation of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrigan Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Meh joe Berry English pronunciation. The J is not silent nor does the J have a 'h' sound like in Spanish or Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s quite funny because I feel the same when I hear people pronounce Quetzal, Kwet when it’s Kett-zal-coe-at-luss... however there doesn’t seem to be definitive answer for my issue unlike yours.

Wazzamaniac Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Considering most berries are using spanish words (azul, tinto, amar(illo)), maybe mejo would be pronounced similarly (j would sound like an h). Although I don't think mejo means anything relevant to a color in spanish so pronounce it as you please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(to keep on track in my brain I pronounce it me-jo, but I think it's meant to be may-ho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTech1000 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Thanks! Every time I say “mejoberry”, I always think in the back of my mind “ do I say it like this?” Now I’m pretty solid on saying “may-ho”. On the topic of how to pronounce quetzalcoatlas, I say it like “kwet-zal-co-at-las” or “kwet-zal” for short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memzl Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 i am personaly leaning more towards me-ho-berry since it just seems more right but i guess its just up to personal prefference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boubbin Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 the other berries have a spanish kind of name and Mejo-berry most likely comes from spanish word Mejor, which basically means Best and its the best of the berries in the nutrious way. I would say that its pronounced in the spanish way with j turned into h -> mehoberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiImZech Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 the wiki isn't official and thus not backed by wildcard I mean...we all took it as official I have no idea why the dev aren't taking it. but I guess because they didn't write the information in there and thus wouldn't want to be held responsible for someone else's misguidance. pun probably intended.

It's up to you how you want to pronounce it but I think it is "Meh-Hoe "and not "May-Joe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jokerzfate Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 There is a definite of Quetzal, as it's named after a diety. Quetzal does not prounounce the U. It is NOT "Kwetz" As for Mejoberry, it's May-ho sound. They are named after the spanish word Mejor (which means best), "Meh-hore" so the berry is Meh-ho. It's not Meh-Joe. If you don't believe me and think it is Meh-Joe, the ark wiki its self says the berry was named for the spanish word Mejor, so yes, the J has a soft H sound, not a J sound.

Kyd Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 And for the love of god people... chitin is pronounced with a hard K sound like "Kite-en" not a soft c like "Sh!t-en". Weird but true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngrySaltire Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I just go with meh-joe-berry. Not fussed if its the right or wrong way of saying it, just the way I say it. Its like the whole giganotosaurus argument all over again, is it giga vs jiga..... heck the whole gif vs jif argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird but true Chitin can also be properly pronounced with an audible C, closer to "chu-ite-en" than "kite-en". Though definitely not "sh!t-en", as I've also heard people say.

No animal in ARK uses the full name of its real life counterpart, typically a real genus and a fictional species title. But Tapejara imperator is used in full because it's the former name of Tupandactylus imperator before it was given a new genus. This isn't simply an error as no other ARK creature uses a real life species title. So if it helps, you can call it Tupandactylus, which is significantly easier to remember based on its spelling. "Two-pan-dac-till-us" vs "Tap-eh-har-ah". On 7/17/2018 at 3:25 PM, jokerzfate said: There is a definite of Quetzal, as it's named after a diety. Quetzal does not prounounce the U. It is NOT "Kwetz" Latin doesn't need to preserve the original pronunciation of a word that it incorporates into a binomial title, so if you want to get really technical there are at least two ways to pronounce almost every genus title. "Coo-et-zal-co-attle" is just as correct as "Ket-zal-co-attle".

I'm 99% certain Quetzalcoatlus was pronounced multiple ways in WWD alone. The English (British) version definitely pronounced it "Coo-etzal" not "ket-zal". Additionally, just because someone is a paleontologist doesn't mean they are going to be right about everything related to extinct life. It is a paleontologists responsibility to collect, classify, preserve and catalogue the remains of extinct animals, any life reconstructions or speculation is done by paleo-artists (not to say someone can't be both). This became pretty clear a few years back with a brief kerfuffle between a few "B-grade celebrity paleontologists" and professional paleo-artists, after a paleontology consultant for (IIRC) Safari ltd. openly admitted to not caring about life reconstruction and only caring about bones, and so approved inaccurate life reconstructions.
