Wth?? Pronunciation of Genghis?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Takes me right back to discovering Biopic was All Wrong.

How are you pronouncing Genghis?? Or how should I be pronouncing it??
(I always said bi-opic. Bio - pic made quite a lot of sense when I heard it finally said out loud.)

Geng-hiss

What have you been saying???

Gen-giss
I think anyway.

Jen-jis

Gen-gis, is there another way?

Gen hen gus is how I have heard it pronounced on a couple of tv history programmes.

Gen ( to rhyme with hen) giss ( to rhyme with kiss)

Gen hen gus? What the fuck?

Gen-giss.

With the ‘Gen’ bit pronounced like you’re going to say guest or gear, not like you’re going to say general or Gerald.

That was hard to explain.

Hard gs. So Gen sounds like get, and “ghis” has the same consonant sound but ends like “kiss”. Is that wrong?

I would presume Gen-giss

And Bio-pic Is a big hello in order OP?

Watching the same tv programme. I thought it was gengiss not jengis.

Also am I saying biopic wrongly as bi-opic?

Well the guy who was showing Joanne Lumley the massive statue of Khan said it Gen hen gus, and he was a local so should know!

Chingus Han. No k sound in mongolian.

Gen-hen-gus and chingus... This thread is

Also.... someone please enlighten us about bi-opic?!

I'm shocked about Biopic!
I'm confused about Genghis. Ive been saying Geng gis. I may be too old to change.

I know a Genghis and he pronounces it Gen ( hard G) Giss ( hard G)

Next they'll be telling us it's Dip Loddick Uss

Isn't this how most pronounce it? It's how i pronounce it:

Biopic is short for biographical picture and normally pronounced with an Oh (like Oh My God) sound in the middle. Bio-Pic.

Some weirdos pronounce it to rhyme with myopic (shortsighted) but they are wronger than a very wrong thing.

No idea about Genghiss (have always pronounced is Geng-hiss. Am I wrong?) but I work in film and documentaries and we say Bi-opic but it very much runs together: by-opic

Oh and HTJI

Woah, I'm a weirdo who never knew it was pronounced bio-pic

Genghis is Gen-giss to me 😬

@imnottoofussed yes! That's where I saw it!.

JENGIS. I have no friffing idea 😭

But did immediately think Oh ThatBastardGengis

But then realised it was actually Gandhi that was That Bastard and Genghis wasn't That Bastard.

And now I'm lying down in a dark room 😂

Ffs is it actually That Bastard Jandhi?

Today is an overwhelming day.
