How do you pronounce....

[XaviarRkR]

this word... I know how I pronounce it, but what about the rest of you? (I'm just trying to avoide some pain here, the hospital say my gramp is a gonner!) So how do you all pronounce this word.


CONSTANTINE


I think... nay I know it's KON-STEN-TYNE

not CON-STIN-TEEN


AR*Ehole


Why the Felgercarb is HELLBLAZER SO HARD TO GET HOLD OF?

Eh, I mumble; so I say it and it comes out thusly:

con-STUN-teen

If I didn't mumble quite as much, that would be con-STAN-teen. 🙂

 

[Kalamos]

I say it "Costantino", but I'm no native speaker.

A cross between "Con-stan-teen" and "con-stin-teen" for me. The "proper" is also here: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=constantine

I tend to say it the same way.

CON-stan-teen for me, but I am notorious for pronouncing things unusually 😉

 

[Ethereal]

khan like that guy who yells a lot
stan and teen like their words 😛

 

[pison]

For me, I just call it unpronouncable and seek an alternative word. ;D

I pronounce it Ba- na- na. Well....that or con-stan-tine. Either one works...

It's gonna be different depending on where you're from. In England, and on the English trailers for the film, it was "CON-STEN-TEEN". ^_^ .

And what would I be if not English then - chopped liver? 😛

Well, the omniverse is quite a big place.... 😉 .

In the DC comics original, it's CON-Sten-Tyne. He's also British.
