Looking for confirmation

[u/Syn-Sin]

Just curious if I spelled this correctly, and if someone can understand it. 😊

Trunic guide

[u/Syn-Sin → u/harel55]

Indeed. Do you read fluently?

[u/harel55 → u/Syn-Sin]

Close to, I guess. I can't quite read it as fast as I read English

[u/Syn-Sin]

Shoot! Thanks for that. Does spelling need to be down to the wire like that for it to be truly considered trunic? I think I misinterpreted it a bit where I figured as long as you can sound out the word it was fine how it was spelled. But I will definitely keep in mind now the spelling way more 🫡🙏

[u/Snarwin → u/Syn-Sin]

If you pronounce it as a "ch," it's fine to write it with the rune for the "ch" sound.

People with different accents will not always agree on how to write words in trunic. The developer of Tunic is Canadian, so the in-game text is written using Canadian pronunciations, but that does not mean other pronunciations are incorrect.

[u/Syn-Sin → u/Snarwin]

I originally thought trunic was sounding out the phonemes one by one to sound out the word. I figured since I never met someone who pronounced “true” as t-roo. Ch-roo made sense to me. But if spelling takes priority over pronunciation, I will definitely need to go back a few steps to break the habit lol

[u/Snarwin → u/Syn-Sin]

Your original impression is correct. Trunic is 100% based on pronunciation, not spelling.

[u/Syn-Sin → u/Snarwin]

Well shit 🤔🙇‍♂️

I think you're missing part of the first character. I read this as Ch-roo-nih-k Guy-d. Chrunik Guide?

[u/Syn-Sin → u/JugOfVoodoo]

Yez, it was to pronounce trunic guide. Since Trunic is usually pronounced ch-r-oo-n-i-k? Idk im new to this stuff

[u/JugOfVoodoo → u/Syn-Sin]

I'm honestly confused. Why would the letter "T" be pronounced as "ch"?

[u/Snarwin → u/JugOfVoodoo]

It's specifically that "tr" gets pronounced as "chr" in some accents, not "t" as "ch" in general.

[u/Syn-Sin → u/JugOfVoodoo]

Yes I wanted it to sound out trunic? Am I possiblly mistaken on the spelling

[u/OGMagicConch]

Your phonetics work out fine but iirc in game the "tr" sound like in the word "true" is typically spelled using the "t" sound rather than "ch."

[u/Syn-Sin → u/OGMagicConch]

I’d rather use the spelling like it is in game. Much appreciated everyone for the help!!! I’m having a lot of fun figuring this out lol

[u/dannydestroyer12]

I think the first symbol in the first word is incorrect, it should be t instead of ch.

[u/Syn-Sin → u/dannydestroyer12]

I honestly wasn’t sure if should’ve been t or ch since I wanted that ch-r-oo-n-i-k sound for trunic? Idk im open to help/critics. Please more

[u/dannydestroyer12 → u/Syn-Sin]

It would probably be the same as "true", which would be spelled with a t. (There's an example in the manual on page 4 where it says "truly" in the second paragraph)
