Actually... how DO you pronounce Graal?
 
I've always said Graal like "Carl" but I have a feeling it should be like "grail". Anybody know for sure?

TCNDAN 05-22-2001 06:00 AM

GRAWL

05-22-2001 06:00 AM

I say it the way you say it.

SSmutz 05-22-2001 06:01 AM

I pronounce it "grol", like "gr-all", cuz thats what it looked like to me when I first heard of it, then I learned more anout Graal and figured "graal" is also german for "grail". But I still say it like "gr-all"

Kaimetsu 05-22-2001 06:01 AM

*thanks God he's not alone*

I was just thinking, as I played Diablo 2, that if Baal can be said "Bail" then maybe so could Graal. I suppose the only one who can say for certain is Stefan.

Zulithe 05-22-2001 06:01 AM

Graal like "Carl" (or GRAWL as someone put it) sounds better and makes more sense.

omni-m00gle 05-22-2001 06:02 AM

I pronouce Grah-Ale. Like the american word Grail which the word Graal is from.

HiryuuX 05-22-2001 06:03 AM

I say "GROLL"

TCNDAN 05-22-2001 06:03 AM

if Knorr was american you would say Grail
but he is not
and he said, over and over again, its like GRAWL

Kaimetsu 05-22-2001 06:04 AM

Good, at least nobody so far says it should be said like "Grail". I was beginning to think that I was some kind of wierdo, whereas... uh... nevermind.

Valder 05-22-2001 06:13 AM

i say graal like the a in Apple

Graapple?

vergil 05-22-2001 06:26 AM

Baal from the Diablo storyline IS pronounced "Bail"
If you ever played the playstation version, they had this stiory section (d1 that is) and it read the story aloud. The dude said "bail" so i guess thats it

sniperjoe10 05-22-2001 06:28 AM

I pronounce it " GRAWL " also.

Me to. I'm glad that I am not alone heh.

vergil 05-22-2001 07:18 AM

i am alone because i don't pronounce it anything because i never have to say the word i just type it =\

Fai 05-22-2001 07:25 AM

GRAHL

Valder 05-22-2001 07:34 AM

i meant i say it like Grahl

Thak2 05-22-2001 07:39 AM

LoL!?!?
 
Well, im from Canada, and I say it the way it looks.. "graal"

"Grahl" but the "ah" is more like "aahh" ....."Graaghhl" lol.. it It should be Grail, because you know how on main the object was to get the 4 Graals... Grails as in Golden Cups.. lol

Termina_GP4 05-22-2001 07:40 AM

i say it like, grail, like holy grail, because wasnt the point of the game to find all of the grails?

EThor 05-22-2001 11:01 AM

I pronounce it Gr-all, but, I think it's suposed to be Grail, but oh well.

freddyfox 05-22-2001 11:18 AM

Crono Illusion 05-22-2001 11:40 AM

I too pronounce it as "grawl."

Issues 05-22-2001 12:35 PM

Grawl
 
If it was inteaded to be Grail as in Holy Grail, wouldnt Stefan just have called it Grail? Therefore its gotta be pernounced Grawl =D

Yamizitzu 05-22-2001 02:08 PM

I pronounce it as Grawl

05-22-2001 02:49 PM

Gr-all

aran_lesai 05-22-2001 04:38 PM

I agree with most of you
 
Back on Graal 1.38 i did a poll about this, and surprisingly, the majority of answers were the opposite /grail/. I do pronounce it /grawl/. Just look at the words aardvark. But then again, yes Baal is pronounced /bail/. I guess you can say it however you want, but the thing to remember is that it is indeed German (I'm German...but not quite as much as Stefan), in which it is pronounced /grawl/.

toad1413 05-22-2001 04:50 PM

I say it like Fai, Valder and Thak2: GRAHL.

It probably is supposed to be said like Grail, but that's the way I've been saying it since I started.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. I have that version (level 60 character y0!) and Diablo 2, and it says the same thing on the latter. But, since he's gonna be the main star in the next in the series, I'm guessing we'll have even more people mispronouncing a popular game's name (DIEablo, anyone?).

Lyndzey8000 05-22-2001 07:44 PM

GRAIL ALL THE WAY!
