Graal is french. Translate Graal into english and you get "Grail". Simply as easy as that.

Because you're not right, and to say you are would be lying. It's Grail.

... But this time im right! of course its grahl if it was spelled grail you say grail.

kia345 · #13 12-20-2007, 02:03 AM

It's like Cthulhu, it's not meant to be spoken aloud as the human tongue can not handle such vocabulary.

MrAnonymous_P2P · #14 12-20-2007, 02:03 AM

rofl Grail? Since when does one a in french sound like an a, and then the other sound like an i XD

Angel_Light · #15 12-20-2007, 02:06 AM

If it was one "a" it would be grawl, but it is not. it is Grail, because originally you had find the 4 magical grails (graals) in the original Java game, if memory serves me right.

"My name is pronounced like this: Kamuii."
"Dustari is pronounced Dustari."
"It's Graal. Not Grail..."

BigBear3 · #18 12-20-2007, 04:21 AM

I didn't ask which was correct. I was wondering what you call it.

Sorry, but my point was (in response to him saying he wants to know what we say rather than what is "correct") while we're telling him what's "correct", we're more likely still telling him how we say it because unless otherwise stated, chances are most people say the one they believe to be correct.

Edit: Also, check the other threads on this. Kamuii gave a good argument as to why it's "Grawl". (I'm not here to create my own argument; just putting together other people's ideas on the matter) "Grail" would be the translation into English. Since we always say "Graal", you would pronounce it "Grawl" (assuming that is how it's pronounced in the language it comes from...).

Grail in german is spelt Gral. Which is probably why Stefan calls this game graal, since germans cant say Grail. xD

I w1n.

Darlene159 · #34 12-22-2007, 05:32 AM

Grawl, always have, always will

CABAL49 · #35 12-22-2007, 05:44 AM

It doesn't matter what Graal is translated, it is still Graal.

ViperZakuto · #36 12-22-2007, 07:44 PM

aren't the creators french? it is all in how it is pronounced lol.

Tigairius · #37 12-22-2007, 08:08 PM

You people cannot comprehend English very well, or what? It's obviously "grail," I don't know how it can be confused otherwise.
