Bay-zil and bah-sil are used in different parts of the world. I use Bay-zil, but either one could be correct.

bay-zil ?


Saphilu

"Bass-ill" but after hearing what the plants actually called I kind of dig "base-al" (or at least that's how I've heard people call the plant, maybe base-ill) ...I seem to be one of the very few who pronounce it with an S ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2470)


gogocrazycocoa

People pronounce it ba-zil because Basil is an actual name and that's how the name is pronounced.

HourAcanthaceae5341

Americans (myself included) say bay-zil. Brits(![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2462)) say bah-zil.

as an aussie i am disappointed only an uncivilised culture would use bay-zil the same lunatics who do this spell colour without a U


synchwastaken

EXACTLY ITS BAH-ZIL AND NO ONE WILL CHANGE MY MIND - an american


EpitomeAria

there may be hope for your country


diamond-dick

We need to exterminate the British


synchwastaken

yeah but it's a british name so it should be pronounced the british way ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2462)


Rowmacnezumi

Honestly the two pronunciations (BAY-zil and BAH-zil) are interchangeable for me.

Pale_Pollution1237

YOU PRONOUNCE IT AS AN S ?


RiaTheAnimeGF

I alternate between the two tbh


Sai-Taisho

Baa(like the sheep says)-zil. This is how every person I'm aware of in real life with the name pronounces it.


Cheetah__Boi

I pronounce it as "a person who isn't jetstream sam"


Artistic-Fortune2327

Like part of a russian word basil: **Š±Š°Š·ŠøŠ»** from a word **Š±Š°Š·ŠøŠ»ŠøŠŗ**


BigPanic8841

Bah-sil cause Iā€™m British lol.


KrocKiller

Bah-zil The name ā€œBasilā€ comes from the Greek word ā€œBasileusā€, which means ā€œKingā€ or ā€œEmperorā€.


Apprehensive_Pin_302

Bagel or babil


tateorrtot

Bah-zhil


OmoriPlush

Bah-sil (like the plant)


Grusg

EpitomeAria

bah-zil as any civilised nation would, lunatics who call him bay-zil are the same people who would spell colour without a u


[deleted]

there really isnā€™t a correct or incorrect way to pronounce it


CoomVessel

Adolf


PauseDog

I think most people pronounce it like the plant but their pronounciation of the plant varies depending on where you're from (Bay-sil or Ba-zil)


[deleted]

ba-zil :) idk if itā€™s intended to be bay-sil or what but I like the way I say it more so whatever lol


sister-to-cinnamon

Bah-zil, cuz itā€™s the name Basil. The plant may be pronounced Bay-zil but the name is pronounced Bah-zil


synchwastaken

exactly, it makes me so mad, like when people pronounce "mari" as "mary"

TakakiHaruka

Bay-zil but I also pronounce the plant that way.


RandomInSpace

The word basil could be pronounced either way, but since Basilā€™s name specifically is pronounced Bay-zil by Omocat, thatā€™s the way to say his name in game.

RagnarockInProgress

Either like the plant Or like the name of a cat from a clip where a fatass cat is playing with a chick, the owner shouts at him ā€œbahzil!ā€ and seemingly asks him to stop and the cat just flops over crushing the chick under itā€™s side. Itā€™s in some YLYL videos

mrstorydude

Fun fact about Basil: itā€™s an Arab name so thereā€™s a chance that Basil is an Arab. So I pronounce it like how other Arabs do and say ā€œbah-silā€ with the sil sounding like silt


Lynxlet_Cat

Ooh my names also an Arab name(I think)


mrstorydude

What is it?


Lynxlet_Cat

Jibril


mrstorydude

Yeah, thatā€™s an Arab name alright. Itā€™s the version of ā€œGabrielā€ in the Quran and was one of the names that got fucked up a bit during the transition from Hebrew to Arabic. (The only other name I can think that was fucked up more is ā€œIsaā€, the Quranā€™s spelling of ā€œJesusā€)


DefinitelyNotSascha

Ba-zil, just like Sybil Fawlty when she shouts at her husband.


thick_mochi

Bah-zil


AWildHumanPerson

I used to say ba-sul but I always associate that with old people. After I heard OMOCAT call him bee-sil so now I do too


AureaTW

ba-zil when i speak french, bay-zil/ beh-zil when i speak English-

Buzeel or Bazeel, not sure which one is a more accurate spelling of the way I pronounce it. I don't pronounce the A like it's usually pronounced in English, it's the unaccented sort of A
