If these aren’t how you pronounce it, tell us what you say in comments. Then tune in to the next Infendo Radio to hear Blake and Derek address this heated debate!

Joel

Ah/Aw- karina is the proper dictionary way to pronounce it, but I’ve been saying Oh-karina for so long that I don’t plan on changing it.
Richard
Geez, I’ve been saying “Okay-rye-NAY” all this time!
Kidding! Ah-kah-ree-nah for me.
Artefacto
The way it’s pronounced in Spanish, with hard vowel sounds.
Yellow Bear

Mohan

Alvârö
In spanish we say: Oh-ka-ree-na with hard vowels as someone already suggested…
King Salamon
Oh Carolina!?

The first way. Indeed, until this article/poll, I never knew there were multiple ways to pronounce the word and game title.

Yeah I like ah corina best
Lord Lemmy
I say Ah-carina, which I know is the proper way, but my friends say oh-carina. Well, it could be that one is actually Mexican and has a heavy accent, but as for my other friends (varying in ethnicity) for the most part say oh-carina.

It depends where your from probably. We have 2 towns in MA that give outsider problems. One is called Billerica. The other is Worcester. How would you guys pronounce those?
Ac
The proper way to say, well at least locally is;
Billa-rikka
Wuss-ta
Btw I say oh-ca-reena
Artefacto
@Alvaro,
Don’t forget the soft r sound as well.
David
@Ac – You forgot Leominster.
Skylan
I say “Or-car-rin-na”. Because I like extra letters.
_oMeGa_
Ah-ca-re-na.
Also, sweet jesus the two are nearly even.
