Too sharp of an s sound for how it's spelled.

Seriously though, leave, Manfred.

>>24676936
ß is literally just ss. And if you've heard in the anime, it's pronounced Meta-gross, not Metagross, like Metacross, with a g.

Good old Germans.
>>
>>24676895
Isn't that the same thing?
>>
>>24677016
Not pronunciation wise. Most people pronounce it Metagross, as if the gross is just cross with a g. How you're supposed to pronounce it is like you're saying gross, like something's disgusting.
>>
>>24677029

It's not a matter of the pronunciation of gross, it's the fact that the OP seems to think gross is pronounced differently from groß in German.
>>
>>24677043
I am OP you dip, and I'm saying how people pronounce it, compared to the correct pronunciation.
>>
>>24677055

Take it easy, Hans.
>>
>>24677055

The correct pronunciation is however Game Freak decides, because Metagross is a made up word, regardless of its relation to the word gross.

And there is still no difference between the eszett and ss.

You dip.
>>
>>24676895
Metagro-beta?

why would I call it that?
>>
>>24677076
>thinking ß is the sign for beta
>>
>>24677101

Eh, I can see the confusion. The handwritten eszett is virtually identical to the lowercase beta.

>Most people pronounce it Metagross, as if the gross is just cross with a g

Every single person I've met has pronounced it meta + gross.

There isn't an English word to my knowledge that pronounces -gross as anything other than the word gross.

You should not be surprised. English is a Germanic language and the English word "gross" derives from the German word "groß". Thus you have terms like "gross domestic product".

English is a ruthless predator language however that plays the rules fast and loose, making it intellectually superior to other languages.
>>
>>24676895
Agree. I have always pronounced it like Metacross but with a g.
The official pronunciation sounds like shit.
>>

Actually, both German and English get the word from the Latin 'grossus.'
>>
>>24676895
I have always pronounced it Metagroß. The actual pronunciation is pretty gross sounding.
>>
>>24680950
How do you even pronounce that?
Like how does it sound?
