dying in nevada

[@frontiercomics]

I like that they would have this exact argument a year later while playing Breath of the Wild, Dan even uses the same Google search example, it's hilarious

[@ramirezthesilvite]

Like their "Raphael is the not the leader" debate lol

[@jasonbonavita]

All I hear is "but it's fucking Nev[ah]da!" echoing in my head lmao

[@TheGamzers]

I remember Dan using the example "nevAda like in SpAnish" or something along those lines when they don't even say SPANISH they say Espanol like SPAH and it bothered me to this day lol

[@RabblesTheBinx]

@@TheGamzers Dan was right. "Ah" is not how the Spanish "a" is pronounced. "Español" is _closer_ to "es-pan-yoll" than it is to "esp-on-yoll"

[@CharginChuck]

Never mind that the live in Los Angeles, a city that isn't pronounced at all like the Spanish words it's named for.

Dying in Nevada almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. Freaking Cazadores, man.

[@mojavewastelander4035]

I made a cazador inspired drink! Everclear, absinthe, and sour syrup, infused with hot peppers. So about 140 proof hot and sour black licorice. Not pleasant, but it looks like radioactive poison, so thats a win.

One of my favorite things about Game Grumps is when they have the same conversation multiple years apart. Like the Ninja Turtles convo they had twice

[@kingjulian.r5748]

[@JerryFlowersIII]

I like the one from Breath of the Wild where Arin gets called out by the comments that Dan reads.

[@syx9986]

Thank you Arin for knowing the difference in pronunciation! Signed - a Nevadan

[@DaveYognaut]

Saw the title and thought this was gonna be a clip of BotW. I still wasn't disappointed though lol

[@NWolfsson]

I was like "Wait, Arin ranted about that multiple times?" Before realizing that of course, Arin would. I don't remember which rant that was, that he ranted about at least on three different videos, but there is, indeed, worse...

[@dennis_duran]

In Arin’s defense, yes, in Spanish we pronounce the A more like the word awful or awe.

[@FredrickTesla]

Dying in Nevada is my favorite 90s grunge album.

[@ethereality1565]

“pardon me?” is the cutest politest thing

[@Smartalic10]

At first when I read the title I was like “dying in Nevada? I don’t remember this moment” but then when Dan corrected his pronunciation it suddenly clicked and I was like “OMG not this one!” And started laughing remembering this argument lol 😂😂😂

[@TOrlando478]

And then Tricky comes and is like "yeah, I feel your pain buddy"

[@nickcastell1425]

I thought this was gonna be the breath of the wild bit

[@hannyb.1364]

I was raised hearing ne-VA-da, not ne-VAH-da. That’ll always be correct to me.

[@likesc00b59]

Hilarious. Sounds familiar. Almost as if… they had this identical conversation once again.

[@debu556]

i was dying at the fact that arin thought español is supposed to be pronounced “es-auhn-eol” instead of the actual way that native speakers say it

[@elijahdage5523]

[@axolofa]

I refuse to pronounce it the way Nevada-inonians wish for it to be. It's a Spanish word. If people can get mad at Americans for pronouncing 'zebra' wrong, then getting on Nevada's case is fine by me.

[@KairuHakubi]

wow I had no idea, Zebra has a latin root too so you're right, the UK version is the correct one. Speaking of Z, I feel like I'm the only one who pronounces zoo properly. it's zo-o. zo-ology, not zoo-ology.

[@RabblesTheBinx]

But that's _not_ how the Spanish "a" sounds. It's in-between the "ă" (as in apple) and "aw" (as in awesome) sounds, but it's closer to the former.

[@KairuHakubi]

@@RabblesTheBinx you're either deaf or a liar.

[@kayEnt3rtainm3nt]

@@KairuHakubi Wait... you're saying you pronounce zoo with two syllables?

[@KairuHakubi]

@@kayEnt3rtainm3nt I mean i TRY to. Internally I do. it's short for "zo-o-logical garden" abbreviating it to zoo is dumb. zo-o-garden we could say, the way we say protozoa or zo-o-trope or other words like that.

[@mikkosimonen]

Doesn’t really matter how the Spanish pronounce Nevada since it ain’t in Spain. There’s a bunch of Finnish place names in America and I’m just gonna have to accept that whatever fucked up way the locals pronounce them is correct.

[@justinperez977]

It’s not Spain Spanish. Originates from Mexican Spanish as most of those regions previously were inhabited by Mexicans. So while I understand that words and pronunciations evolve over time, I don’t think anyone should be called wrong for pronouncing it with a Spanish inflection given it’s origin.

[@walkercobb2808]

@@justinperez977 Fair enough, but people will make fun of you for using the Spanish pronunciation of other US locations like Los Angeles, New Mexico, Texas, etc. Heck, it extends to other languages as well. Ask anybody who lives in Wahiawa Hawaii.

[@DanDanDoe]

Yeah, I doubt anyone will understand me if I pronounce the Dutch names in the US in correct Dutch. If I’m in a shitty mood I can even go as far as calling Brooklyn Breukelen.

[@mikkosimonen]

@@justinperez977 Sure, but it's a whole 'nother thing to argue that the local pronunciation is incorrect.

[@justinperez977]

@@mikkosimonen that’s what I’m saying. No one should be ridiculed for saying it either way as both are correct for different reason. So say it one way or the other. No one should care. But people do and vehemently for that matter.

[@piippiz]

Ä in the Nevädä is actually spelled that way

[@MiksteR_RdY]

[@MARKOoo]

it's actually pronounced "Nevada", ya sillies

[@dev-n-dragons7005]

Not trying to argue with how it's pronounced. But my question is why is it pronounced that way?

[@justinperez977]

Settlers change pronunciations over time of certain things despite their origin. Arin is correct that it is a Spanish word so saying it with the Spanish a sound sounds a lot better than saying the a as if it were the word apple. It stems from ignorance of culture at the time and was just never changed or questioned as time went on.

[@dev-n-dragons7005]

@@justinperez977 Fair enough, so basically it's just been pronounced different from the origin for so long that it's a different word now?

[@justinperez977]

@@dev-n-dragons7005 basically, yeah. Similar to how Houston Street in New York is pronounced differently from the city of Houston. Locals deemed it to be different, therefore it is. No real rhyme or reason behind it to be completely honest.

[@DigitalxGamer]

Honestly, I feel like both pronunciations are okay and nobody should be getting angry or annoyed one way or another. I think the Spanish pronunciation makes far more sense, but it's not worth starting an argument over.

[@dev-n-dragons7005]

@@DigitalxGamer Oh yeah, like it's definitely not worth getting angry over. I was just curious how it happened.

[@nathanl.8095]

Thank you Dan for correcting yourself and saying Nevada correctly.

[@KairuHakubi]

it's amazing in such a sensitive, PC, anti-anglo world, it's actually acceptable to insist on a non-spanish pronunciation for Nevada, let alone considered correct.

@@RJSierra I don't know what that is, I'm just a weeaboo. It's hard enough having so many different languages in the world, but we just had to build that damn tower in Babel and it happened.
