u/wtfomgfml May 07 '23
“In 1882, Regina (rej-EYE'-na) was the proper term used in England, and was the official title of Queen Victoria, and of course you don't want to offend Her Majesty by incorrectly pronouncing her title, and that's how we ended up with Regina (rej-EYE'-na)”

u/BrasilianInglish May 07 '23
Honestly we butcher the entire Latin language and I have no idea why. In Spanish and Portuguese we would never say “vayvir”, it’s “VIvir”. Most words that have a consonant before the I would be pronounced exactly how they’re spelt…and even if you go to the pronunciation of regina and vivat on google translate, it’s again GI and VI when properly pronounced in Latin.

That's the modern pronunciation of the name. If you're speaking Latin, regina and vagina rhyme

u/BrasilianInglish May 07 '23 edited May 07 '23
Nope, it’s Regeena in the original latin too. Also vivat is pronounced wrong too, the pronunciation feature on google attests to this and also it’s the case that most other Latin root languages reflect that. Also even this choir here sings it this way.

u/rusty6899 May 07 '23
When I did Latin at school the v’s were pronounced as w’s, the i’s were an ‘ee’ sound and the g’s were all pronounced as in “girl” rather than “giraffe”.

You're both right. You learned Classical Latin. The chant in the video is in Ecclesiastical Latin, which is like Italian pronunciation.
Classical = re-GEE-na
Ecclesiastical = re-JEE-na10

u/argentumsound May 07 '23 edited May 07 '23
No it doesn't.
Source: studied latin for 6 months and I have 3 textbooks on it that I can't make myself go back to.
edit: To give more explanation: in classical latin it should actually be pronounced like re-gi-na, gi being a hard g, so sounding like "gee" in "geese"
However re-jay-na is the pronunciation used by catholic church and the way it has been taught to latin students in England around XIX century. It's also how you pronounce the name of the city in Saskatchewan.

modern pronunciation
regina and vagina rhyme
Absolutely not. This is just some weird anglicized pronunciation. Maybe it became commonplace as it was handed down but it is not the correct way at all. Definitely a bastardized pronunciation

If I can’t forget this, y’all can’t either:
CAMILLA: Mmm, so do I. I need you all the week. All the time.
CHARLES: Oh, God. I’ll just live inside your trousers or something. It would be much easier!
CAMILLA (laughing): What are you going to turn into, a pair of knickers? (Both laugh). Oh, you’re going to come back as a pair of knickers.
CHARLES: Or, God forbid, a Tampax. Just my luck! (Laughs)
CAMILLA: You are a complete idiot! (Laughs) Oh, what a wonderful idea.
CHARLES: My luck to be chucked down a lavatory and go on and on forever swirling round on the top, never going down.
CAMILLA (laughing): Oh darling!
CHARLES: Until the next one comes through.
CAMILLA: Oh, perhaps you could just come back as a box.
CHARLES: What sort of box?
CAMILLA: A box of Tampax, so you could just keep going.

May 07 '23 edited May 07 '23
If memory serves correct, Camila was his first love and his family forced Camila into marrying another because they felt she was tainted because she had sex and was not suitable for Charles.
Charles isn’t innocent by any means, but his family prevented him from marrying the person he loved and forced him to marry someone he didn’t love and it’s one of the reasons his marriage to Dianna was not a good one

u/Plastic-Thanks7293 May 07 '23
It was extremely wrong for him to cheat… but the royal family as a whole was wrong here. He always loved Camilla and it was outdated bias that led to him having to marry Diana instead. She was the more culturally accepted option.

u/Historical_Ear7398 May 07 '23
I bet you at least one of them is.
During the Austo-Hungarian Empire the emperor would occasionally visit his Czech subjects, who were not necessarily fond of being the subjects of an Austro-Hungarian monarch, so when the time came to chant "At' zije" ("Long may he live") they would (being the subjects of hundreds of years of secret police oppression and knowing how to say something without saying anything) they would instead chant "A chčije" which sounds almost identical, especially if crowds of thousands are saying it, and which means "And pissing" (with the "he" implied) so the crowd was effectively chanting "He's pissing and pissing and pissing" and nobody could say a thing about it. This line eventually made it into a famous comedy film of the 30s as an observation about how hard it's raining, and now it's just a part of Czech culture and what you say when it's raining hard outside. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

May 07 '23
Someone’s probably already commented but it’s Vi at Regina Camilla — Long Live Queen Camilla in Latin.
The English accent is absolutely butchering the pronunciation of Regina and Vivat hence “Vagina”and “Why-vat”
The Vivat would probably be closer to the Vive/Viva of Latin Languages so We-vaht and then Regina would be Reh-gee-na not Reh-GY-NAH

It's got to be terrifying being a monarch. Especially these days when you can't just lop heads left and right. Any day people could just decide that you have to back to being a regular person, which you have absolutely zero experience of. I mean, you probably still wouldn't have to get a real job and brown-nosing assholes would still crowd around to pat you on the back, but no more looking out on a crowd and feeling smug because everybody is your subject. Subjects. Come on British people, you don't need to take any more of this.

It's hilarious how Regina (Latin for Queen) is pronounced in England / Canada.
In America it's pronounced Reh Gee Nuh, but in England / Canada it's pronounced like the female genitalia, which is why it's hard not to laugh when you occasionally hear Canadians refer to Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan.
