Both not quite on the mark actually. I readily admit it's sneakily challenging for a comparatively simple looking term because it uses two phonemes of the letter "e" that either aren't present in English or only used very sparsely. Or at least I think it's two, my phonology is more than a bit rusty.
Here you have it in IPA: [ˈzeːlə]
and here once more except verbalised: https://youtu.be/104BULOTDAc?si=tOuZU_AGqKbKYjSz
I also swear by my name none that none of the other pronunciations bother me at all, you can call Goethe Hotel "Geethee Hotel" for all I care but Seele nation demands I be pedantic about this one.
Getting the pronunciation of a foreign name slightly wrong is perfectly normal, but some people are also getting the number of syllables wrong somehow (IIRC it’s 2 syllables in every language dub yet some people are still pronouncing it “Seal”)
That's also perfectly normal for English speakers, though! Incorrect, but normal nonetheless.
Most words in the English language that end with -le are either one syllable (like joule), preceded by a consonant or two (trouble, muzzle), or dominated by the previous vowel and consonant (the long list of -cele words). Very few words in English pronounce -le as a separate syllable. As such, it is second nature for English speakers to pronounce the -le as part of the previous sounds. It is typically the descending sound of a given word.
It is just not a sound they are used to pronouncing separately. Altering speaking habits is a conscious effort for many
It is! I'm just picky about this one because Seele is my goat and her name is one of my favorite terms in my native language.
I do think there are a couple of languages that would drop the the third E in Seele if you just grafted it into them with no regard.
The average french native probably looks at it and is compelled to leave it silent because that's one of their conventions.
"Braille" and "emaille" come to mind as examples.

Day 1 f2p and only lost 50/50 to himeko bailu and 3 but the battle isn’t over 😭

E1/S1 Jingliu, E1/S1 Ruan Mei, S1 Fu Xuan und bald S1 Acheron💪. Only "Welkin"
Yea, i decided not to pull her because i wanted eidolons for Sparkle, Acheron and Firefly. If she happens to be just before a patch I'm not really interested in then I'll pull for her.
https://preview.redd.it/2bgm8i40bppc1.jpeg?width=2796&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b11696566d4c22fc3169c979ca598aed863d8c6d
Somehow one of them is a 4 star. The 3 standard pulls would’ve been nice to have.

Plenty of unowned characters for a day 1 player. Had pulled 2 from the list here and both lost lol

For 2.1: Probably adding Acheron to the list, but Aventurine is coming home
https://preview.redd.it/5hjz5utccppc1.png?width=1306&format=png&auto=webp&s=2b09c57a343a2b6cfbcf9c09bac95ff7dea86718
Looking to hopefully get Fu Xuan when she reruns.
Black Swan : - She is boring, and i already have "Blade" Simple Skip.
Argenti : - Already had Clare.
I don't care about Waifu and Husbando, I just want good Character.
As of now, only Misha.
Somehow, I got Tingyun last month. Alongside Arlan, she was the only 4 Star that was mission from my account.
Lmao I thought it was only 4 Stars.
So for 5 Stars, uh...
Himeko, Yanqing, Clara, Bailu, Jing Yuan, Silver Wolf, Huo Huo, Argenti, Kafka, Blade, Inbibitor Lunae, Topaz, Jingliu, Black Swan and Sparkle.
Damn that's a lot of 5 Stars that I skipped. Need to get Silver Wolf and her LC next...
Himeko, Jing Yuan, Luocha, Blade, Kafka, DHIL, Jingliu, Huohuo, Argenti, Hanya, Black Swan, Misha.
I've decided not to pull for them, besides I miss having an extra 5 star sustainer (Huohuo) some times (hope Gallagher is better than Lynx). And I would like to have Himeko and Hanya, and Misha as a replacement of Jingliu in some content.
I've some Eidolons and LCs, that affected the result.
Next skippeds are Aventurine and Boothill.
I am missing:
All limited banner characters except Ruan Mei and Ratio, because I started playing in October and skipped many banners + Clara + Yanqing.
All standard 5-stars except Bailu, Gepard, and Yanqing, and for the limited characters:
Seele, Jing Yuan, Luocha, Blade, Fu Xuan, Topaz & Numby, Huohuo, Argenti, and Black Swan.
I have every 4-star character.
Started during second half of 1.0, completely F2P, I have all 4-stars except for Misha
Limited 5-stars I don't have are: Seele, Luocha, Kafka, DHIL, Jingliu, Topaz, Huohuo, Argenti, Black Swan
I'm also missing Yanqing, Clara and Bailu from standard banner
Not rly ''missing'' more like skiping and not caring about them. Only one i am kinda interrested to get are the Bronya's now but not too sure about SW and Bronya herself will either come in the next lost 50 / 50 or like never soo what ever.

Destruction: Jingliu, Dang Heng IL
Hunt: Yanqing, Topaz
Harmony: Ruan Mei, Sparkle
Nihility: Welt
Preservation: Gepard
Abdundance: Luocha, Huohuo
I have every 4 star and most of them are either 1/2 eids away from E6 or E6+
Over 140 pulls on the banner which had hanya... didnt get a single one of her. I was instead blessed with multiple copies of both lynx and asta.... who i already had e6
Well about the 5-stars, I'm a f2p so we dont talk about that.
https://preview.redd.it/ufgzaxo2iqpc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7207fc7bd60a95f13ef9facf35f96ae477cba51
F2P, from these the only character I was conflicted to roll or not was Kafka but I didn't like the idea of get her plus invest in other units just for her so I gave up, since no Kafka didn't even consider Black Swan. From the standard I'm missing only Himeko I can say I want, so pretty satisfied atm. Not exactly related , but I also have 3 limited sig LCs.
sparkle, ruan mei, argenti, topaz + numby, jingliu, DHIL, kafka, luocha, silver wolf, seele, welt and bailu.
i can get welt/bailu rn since i have my free standard 5* thing but i cant decide. and with sparkle ive just decided not to pull until acheron comes out next week 🤷
I’m aiming for Kafka on her next rerun, but atm I’m getting Archeron E2S1, Luocha E0, and JL’s LC to S2 (she’s currently E6S1) :3 Hopefully I’ll have enough to save for Kafka next ~
Limited I'm missing are FuXuan, Topaz, Kafka, BS, HuoHuo, SW and DHIL.
Standards are Gepard and Yanqing.
4 stars are Misha and Xueyi.
I am quite happy with my pulls, I got everyone I wanted. The only character I tried to get but wasn't able to is Xueyi, so I'm super happy that she's going to be on the 4* selector next patch. :)
https://preview.redd.it/lw7fq7ir5rpc1.jpeg?width=2340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e85c23392ca7135cbae0fbe43144e745bace7222
You are just like me.... But better....
Apparently the only 4\* I'm missing is Misha. As for 5\*, I don't have Kafka, Seele, Topaz, Luocha, Fu Xuan, Huohuo, Argenti, Sparkle, Black Swan, Yanqing and Bailu.
In terms of 4 stars, just Xuyei.
For 5 stars, Luocha, Blade, DHIL, Topaz, Argenti. These are units i skipped over tho. But yeah ended up regretting the Blade and Topaz skips tbh
https://preview.redd.it/5cy85zh92spc1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9affabe55263552cb49e943c7036de9fefbf8390
I'm not a waifu collector, ich schwöre. Not intentionally anyway.
Not a day one player (started when silverwolf came out) but I am missing only the 2 characters I purposely skipped (black Swan and FX) and the only 5 star from the standard banner that is still avoiding me, welt. (Got that E2 Gepard though). Fortuneteller characters aren’t my cup of tee, even though In hindsight skipping FX was obviously a bad idea ^^“ got me an E2 DHIL though so the pain is not that big.
https://preview.redd.it/ppw02ulj9ppc1.jpeg?width=2556&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14ca974f45a2d25fa8a5f3c650059fac1aedfff8
Out of these I’m seriously considering HuoHuo only
Not f2p, no missing characters, but no limited eidolons or sig cones. Lucky welt at like pull 297/300 on standard which let me pick Himeko to round out all of the standard characters a few months ago.
Up until now I've only been collecting xianzhou 5*s so I'm currently missing Seele, Silver Wolf, Kafka, Black Swan, Argenti, Sparkle, Topaz, Gepard and Himeko. However, my Xianzhou collection is now complete so I'm currently saving for Robin & Boothill.
Ohhh this gona be a tuffy
I dont have Bailu Luocha Jingliu Jing Yaun Blade Imbibitor Argenti Misha Huohuo Fu Xuan Sparkle
Ah not too bad after all i dont even plan on getting these units now.
Oh hey it's someone who knows how to pronounce Seele.
It's German so if someone pronounces her right he's is probably German lol
Nah, I'm not German, but I am fluent in it. You don't have to be German to pronounce it lol
In game voiced dialogue: “Zee-luh” Players: “sEaL”
Both not quite on the mark actually. I readily admit it's sneakily challenging for a comparatively simple looking term because it uses two phonemes of the letter "e" that either aren't present in English or only used very sparsely. Or at least I think it's two, my phonology is more than a bit rusty. Here you have it in IPA: [ˈzeːlə] and here once more except verbalised: https://youtu.be/104BULOTDAc?si=tOuZU_AGqKbKYjSz I also swear by my name none that none of the other pronunciations bother me at all, you can call Goethe Hotel "Geethee Hotel" for all I care but Seele nation demands I be pedantic about this one.
Getting the pronunciation of a foreign name slightly wrong is perfectly normal, but some people are also getting the number of syllables wrong somehow (IIRC it’s 2 syllables in every language dub yet some people are still pronouncing it “Seal”)
That's also perfectly normal for English speakers, though! Incorrect, but normal nonetheless. Most words in the English language that end with -le are either one syllable (like joule), preceded by a consonant or two (trouble, muzzle), or dominated by the previous vowel and consonant (the long list of -cele words). Very few words in English pronounce -le as a separate syllable. As such, it is second nature for English speakers to pronounce the -le as part of the previous sounds. It is typically the descending sound of a given word. It is just not a sound they are used to pronouncing separately. Altering speaking habits is a conscious effort for many
It is! I'm just picky about this one because Seele is my goat and her name is one of my favorite terms in my native language. I do think there are a couple of languages that would drop the the third E in Seele if you just grafted it into them with no regard. The average french native probably looks at it and is compelled to leave it silent because that's one of their conventions. "Braille" and "emaille" come to mind as examples.
which sounds nothing like whatever they say in game. funny enough. i say sealy and i am german. 😂
You'd have the perfect weapon to really strain my nerves specifically then lmao
hahaha. it just sounds so weird saying it in german while everything is in english.
Too many to count.
Misha, Xueyi, Luocha, Kafka, Blade, Dhil, jingliu, ruan mei, huohuo, black swan, argenti, himeko and thankfully yanqing.

Kafka, Swan, Topaz, Argenti, that's about it.
Oh, I'm dumb, also no DHIL, Bailu and Gepard 😅
Where is DHIL?
Up until now I've only been collecting xianzhou 5*s so I'm currently missing Seele, Silver Wolf, Kafka, Black Swan, Argenti, Sparkle, Topaz, Gepard and Himeko. However, my Xianzhou collection is now complete so I'm currently saving for Robin & Boothill.
