How would you pronounce it?

[Monkfish Acc.]

I say meh-lay.
That's right, I choose the hidden third option.

 

[MBurner 93]

May-Lay just sounds more epic.

 

[Baby Tea]

Is this really a 'right' or 'wrong' situation?

For example: When I'm referring to my Aunt, I pronounce it ANT.
But there are regions in Canada (East coast I think) who pronounce it AUH-NT.

Nice Sterotype. I say ANT and im an east coast canadian.

Well I suppose it could be the prairies! It wasn't like I was saying how every East Coaster says 'Iz the by oo billz de boat'! And I even made a point of saying it wasn't a big deal!

Yeesh! You crazy East Coasters!
Well, at least you aren't from Quebec.

Everybody has different ways of pronouncing it, but the PROPER form is "may-lay"

 

[ae86gamer]

i pronounce it: hitting things with other things

You my good sir or mam....I don't know...are the winner.

 

[Lothae]

I vote may-lay, sounds better.

 

[Pumpkin_Eater]

It's pronounced may-lay. It's a borrowed word hence the spelling and pronunciation seeming off.

 

[Aardvark Soup]

Like meh-lee, even though the announcer pronounces it as may-lay.

 

[sms_117b]

I say it meh-lay.
Because I'm too lazy to say may-lay.

I say meh-lay, but that's how it's supposed to be pronounced in the UK, like lieutenant is pronounced left-tenant and titanium tit-tanium

 

[Beefcakes]

Super Smash Bros...
Meelay!
Love the game, hate the controversy over the name...

 

[Legion]

Ok, so i was having a discussion over a few games with some friends of mine, and we were discussing the word "Melee" but he pronounced it funny, so my question to you is this. Do you pronounce it "Mee-Lee" or "May-Lay" i myself pronounced it "May-Lay" where as he said "Mee-Lee" so which one do you choose?

I'd say both are wrong.

Mel (as in Melanie) ay (as in pay) Mel-ay.

I say it meh-lay.
Because I'm too lazy to say may-lay.

I say meh-lay, but that's how it's supposed to be pronounced in the UK, like lieutenant is pronounced left-tenant and titanium tit-tanium

Indeedy.

 

[traceur_]

I say it "meh-lay" because I heard the guild master say it that way on fable 1 and I've said it that way since.

 

[Areani]

Pronounce it Meh-Lee. Always has. Always will. Maybe... (meh-bee)

 

[lordzouk]

may-lay? it sounds like you're burned your tongue or something when you say it XD
I just use mee-lee.
but oh well if it is what the dictionary says then i guess that is the right one

 

[Jovlo]

I also pronounce it as Meh-lee, but that might just be my sometimes horrid Flemish accent.
I have no idea really.

 

[Nerdfury]

Everyone that says 'mee-lee' is wrong and possibly stupid. It's French, written mêlée - with accents. The circumflex over the e and the e-acute makes it 'meh-lay.' Sortof.

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

mê·lée [http://www.answers.com/topic/mel-e], to be precise. I usually just said meh-liè or something, well I've never really learned to write phonetically.

 

[MalloClam]

I pronounced it "mee-lee" until I bought Super Smash Bro. Melee and booted it up for the first time.
Announcer: SUPER SMASH BROTHERS... MAY-LAY!
Me: Oh.

 

[Overlord_Dave]

I say Meh-lay, but that might be something to do with my British accent.

 

[DoctorNick]

May-Lay.

I even go as far as to correct people who get it wrong while speaking to me.
