It is pronounced Ninja-GO isn't it? Not NinJAHgo?

[PattiMayor]

Lego fans will know what I'm talking about.

Why would you say NinJAHgo?

I am not prepared to hear IABU btw

It's nin-jah-go

But in the cartoon, when they are about to do thier ninja thing, they say Ninja -GO

An indecisive sheep at that

The ninja's say Ninja-GO that is

"nin jay go" in the school playground.

My 10 yo knows and he says Nin Jar Go......

We have a roomful of the stuff - no dusting allowd round the Nin Jar Go fighting pavilion or whatever it is called.....

Well just tucked him in and I'm wrong , apparently now EVERYONE is calling it NIN JAGGO....

Is that better?

Oh god I have no idea! I have just called it Ninjago because that's what it reads like on the boxes and then I spoke to my sister who has an older child and she said ninjahgo.

Perhaps it's a London thing

It's nin-JAY-go round here. It is northern round here.

Ds says nin jay go

Nin-jar-go... I think... but now I'm uncertain... shit!

nin-jay-go? Jesus! This is more complicated than I realised

lockets - Lego is Danish. I am not convinced by their authority on this (despite the fact they made it up :o)

"Leggo Ninjaggo "

to be followed in the same hushed tones by,
"whowillbeultimatelyvictoriousinthecosmicbattleforNinjadomination?"

that took sooo long to get the ^^'s right..

hang on though

if you try shouting it in a kind of Japanese accent it does sound like nijahh go

doesn't it?
or is that just me?
do you think that's what they're doing?

poppadum is right, it's based on Japanese, and there should not be a stress on any syllable.

This is most definitely my best ever thread. :o

On American TV, it is pronounced Nin-juh-GOW if that helps to confuse matters further.

Well my son Jago thinks it is named after him and therefore pronounced Nin-jay-go. He made a [bconfused] face when I suggested we call him Jar-go

Who would have thought that three syllables had so many variants?!

Nin-ja-go.

But am I the only one that got confused at first with the O at the end because the logo writing makes it look like a Q?

Ds2 made me feel very thick when I called it Nin-jag-q

DS is adamanat its Nin-jaggo, Ninja-go makes a lot more sense though.

I went into Game before Christmas to buy a Ds game. I hesitantly asked for a Ninja Go game and some spotty youth less than half my aged patronised me beautifully by correcting my pronunciation to "NinJAHGo".

Don't get me started on pronouncing anything by Lego-I have horrific childhood memories of having the piss ripped out of me being teased mercilessly at primary school because my mum worked for Lego & had always called it with the "Danish" pronunciation of "lay-go"! Ds1 is now obsessed with it & she has tried to brainwash him into saying it the Danish way-I have put my foot down & will not allow him to suffer the same humiliation as me with cries of "it's LEG-OH u weirdo" etc am still working through some ishoos therefore, for reasons as stated above, I am tempted to say nin-ya-go......but I am freak & ds1 corrects me with nin-ja-go
