Does anyone else think Tahno’s “Uhvatar” is Bryke’s way of getting back at Shyamalan for all the horrid mispronunciations he had in his gawd-awful movie?
mxxw:
Because I do. I think it’s complete vengeance.
You know Ah-vatar is the Western way of pronouncing Avatar right?
And the way Tahno says Uh-vatar is actually more accurate to the Sanskrit way of saying it?

Listen to the male from India pronouncing it. This is exactly how my whole family in India says avatar.
IT’S IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE WIKI PAGE FOR AVATAR:
In Hinduism, an avatar’ (pronounced as Hindustani: [əʋt̪aːr]; pronounced as English: /ˈæv.ə.tɑːr/, from Sanskrit avatāra अवतार in the Devanagari script, meaning “descent”) is a deliberate descent of a deity to earth, or a descent of the Supreme Being (i.e., Vishnu for Vaishnavites) and is mostly translated into English as “incarnation,” but more accurately as “appearance” or “manifestation”.
Proof Westerners (*cough*Americans*cough*) have accents.
