Ceu (Portuguese) means Sky in English.
I think it is a take on Lua (the scripting language) which means moon.
The pronunciation is like 'Seoul' (South Korean Capital), with the 'e' pronuonced slightly more open as in egg.
- kyllo 11y agoWhich pronunciation of Seoul is it like? The way Koreans pronounce it? The way Americans pronounce it? The way Europeans pronounce it? I'm confused because Seoul doesn't have an 'e' sound in it at all, in Korean.
- agumonkey 11y agoIs the 'e' skipped [soul] ? almost silent [s_oul] ? or a transition like [s~woul] ? ps: forgot about https://translate.google.com/#en/ko/seoul https://translate.google.com/#en/ko/seoul, according to them it's not entirely silent.
- kyllo 11y ago어 (transliterated as either "eo" or "uh") is a vowel that I would describe as like the "u" sound in the word "fun" but with the mouth open a bit wider. It's nothing like any of the sounds an "e" can represent in English. Europeans tend to pronounce it "See-OOL" which is just completely wrong.
- devonkim 11y agoIt's a bit longer, always morphemic version of a schwa I believe.

- kyllo 11y agoIn International Phonetic Alphabet it's [sʰʌ.ul]. The vowel ʌ is described as "between pearl and pull, with spread lips"
