« on: March 27, 2010, 18:34:25 »
I always pronounce it "Knite" (sounding the k), but i have heard people saying knitte or even just nitte. What do YOU think?

You pronounce it like Nifflas does in this video.
http://vimeo.com/9440930

So basically, hard K, and the Y is pronounced like the Y in Bob Dylan.

I always thought it was a silent K, as in "Knight" or "Knife"
so I say: "nitt"

DC said it with silent K in his Lets play vids of levels. But it is as Razzorman said, with hard k. It's swedish word, not even orginial from the game knytt.

I say it as Nitt. Not "Knite", "Night", "Nut", or Potatoe. If you actualy say potatoe you got problems. Im not kidding  :moody:

EDIT: Try looking at Knytt Stories levels on Youtube. Most people say "Nitt"

and Nifflas, who is the creator, says you read it as Knit... >.>

The people on youtube mostly use English and we all know in English, the words that begin with "k", you don't read that letter... and as someone mentioned before, Nifflas is Swedish, not English.

Blah, I say, BLAH.
Anarchy is the way to go man.

and as someone mentioned before, Nifflas is Swedish, not English.
Or rather, Knytt is a swedish word.
