How Does One Say "BIONICLE"? (The Pronunciation Topic)

DarkHunterTalon · March 15, 2016, 1:43am

I always pronounced Vezon as VEH-ZON instead of VAY-ZON until I read the way his name was pronounced on the Bionicle wiki many years after '06. Same thing applies to Vezok.

UmarakKetar · March 15, 2016, 2:06pm

Okotan is better.

Rockho · March 24, 2016, 2:16pm

I called them VEE-zok/zon

I also used to call Hakann “HACK - can”

Da_Stronk_Destroyer · March 25, 2016, 4:59pm

That is what I call him.

TheEsquire · March 25, 2016, 5:02pm

These are the pronunciations I use.

BobaFetaCheese · March 25, 2016, 6:12pm

Thats how I say it.

Rockho · June 2, 2016, 3:32pm

For so long i’ve been saying Oohnorak as “Honor-rak”
It’s “ooo-norak”

I am in the lee-wah camp.

Inika/Ignika: In-ike-ah/Ig-nike-ah
Ehlek: Eel-eck

I used to have trouble with Onewa/Onua and thought Phantoka was Pantoka

ToaNoah_Wafflemeister · September 8, 2018, 5:43pm

I say “Lee-wa”.

I suppose I put more empahasis in the “ig” in IG-nee-ka, and more emphasis in the “ni” in i-NEE-ka.

I pronounce Matao Maw-tow. Not sure if that’s different, but I say it that way.

Sabretooth · September 9, 2018, 12:58am

I say:
Lee-wuh (although sometimes lay-wuh)
Nid-hick-ee
Ee-nike-uh
Ig-neek-uh
Jall-er (I refuse to say jah-luh)
Muh-tore-oh
Eh-ree
Eel-eck
Eye-runi
I think I used to say Bah-rock

Toa_Radrix · September 9, 2018, 2:02pm

I never knew exactly how it “Antroz” is pronunced

Hawkflight · September 9, 2018, 3:30pm

I always say “An” as in “an apple” and then “Troz” rhyming with “flaws”.

Da_Stronk_Destroyer · September 9, 2018, 4:29pm

I have a bad habit of calling him “Antronz”

…I have no idea why. It’s just a thing.

LegoDavid · May 16, 2019, 5:34pm

When I see people mention him, some people pronounce this name quite differently. I hear some people pronounce it Kai-Rocks, while others say it Kee-Rocks.
Looking on some online sources, according to BionicleSector it’s also pronounced Kee-Rocks, while on Bionicle Wiki on Fandom, they say it’s pronounced Chee-Rocks.
Which pronounciation is the correct one?

Holi · May 16, 2019, 4:59am

…I say it “See-rex”

Kardax · May 16, 2019, 9:49am

I’d say Kai-rocks or Kee-rocks is right.

Toa_Radrix · May 16, 2019, 10:57am

Chee-Rocks sounds the best, and I don’t care if it’s Kee-Rocks or Kai-Rocks, I’ll still pronounce it Chee-Rocks.

ToaNoah_Wafflemeister · May 16, 2019, 11:21am

Kai-rocks is how I do it, but I don’t have many Bionicle fan friends I haven’t conditioned to argue with about it, so I have no idea if I’m right or not.

Mctoran · May 16, 2019, 11:41am

I pronounce it “Cheer-ox”.
