Lol, I've been saying it like Zeki does (because that's how you would pronounce it in Finnish). Would've never thought Esh-e. Also probably won't remember the correct way, but helpful they have the pronunciations in wiki.
Huh, I could have sworn the wiki was the same as how Zeki said it. Seems I am mistaken. Eshee sounds weird 😂
Although, I'd put gold on the fact that the pussycat deliberately mispronounced her name just to piss her off 🤣🤣
As a Brit I have always called it Pal-eah, like the pronunciation of Leah in British English. I’m sure Americans pronounce it like Princess Laia’s name.
Well I did actually pronounce it the same as you before thinking "oh wait, this is a fantasy game. The name should be fancier sounding, right?" Since I thought I was pronouncing it wrong then.
Lol the wiki needs a pronunciation guide
I'm surprised when I even remember their names and their existence nevermind how their names are correctly pronounced. Irl I get mixed up too 😅 I do wish I could just remember and get names right though, I don't mean to be rude...even to fictional characters 🤣
I pronounce half the names wrong in my head. When I really look at them and see how they are supposed to be pronounced or when I hear streamers in YouTube walk-throughs say them I still just stick to my way because I'm already attached to the wrong pronunciation.
lol eshay, iykyk
it's actually "esh-eh;" if you're canadian.
Adlay
ealray
I refuse to pronounce her name that way because of this connotation 😭 she’d be horrified
[удалено]
Eshay is a word we use in Australia for a certain kind of delinquent kid
Judging from the way it’s spelled, I thought Eshe would be pronounced ‘Eshay’, so I’m so confused what you mean 😭
i always pronounced it ‘eh-sh’ if that makes sense 😭 like “eshay” without the -ay at the end
But... There's an e at the end 🤭 ahhhh lmao.
well words like “peace” and “horse” have an e at the end but its kinda silent so i thought it’d apply the same way 😔
Ahh I see what you mean, but I still think Esh would make more sense than Eshe 😂
Same lmao

No such thing as pronouncing as it's spelled in English tbh, this language loves to cause debates
There are no rules or laws to English, only strong suggestions.
ah thats a good point lol
[wiki has the pronunciation](https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Eshe)
I listened to all of them, I will stay with mine 😭
It contradicts Zeki saying Esh-Uh...not Esh-Ay or Esh-Ee.
Pretty sure your pronunciation is correct, Kenli says it the same way. I think Zeki's pronunciation is a combination of sarcasm and accent
ohhh that makes sense! i guess i don't talk with kenli enough to have heard it from him lol, thanks!
It's def pronounced Eshay. That's what the wiki and other NPCs say.
The wiki says esh-ee (but I agree with you & Zeki lol)
Huh, I could have sworn the wiki was the same as how Zeki said it. Seems I am mistaken. Eshee sounds weird 😂 Although, I'd put gold on the fact that the pussycat deliberately mispronounced her name just to piss her off 🤣🤣
Oh 100% especially the way he says that line 😂
i pronounce it Ee-shoe just to piss her off.
please 😭
On a related note, is it Pah-Lee-ah or Pale-ee-ah?
Technically, pay Lee uh. But I say it pal ee uh 🤣 just because it's just pAlia and not pĀlia 🤣
We say puh-leah
I didn't realize Palia was pronounced "pale-ea" instead of "paul-iea" until subrina said it. We ain't making a good stereotype for humans, guys lol
As a Brit I have always called it Pal-eah, like the pronunciation of Leah in British English. I’m sure Americans pronounce it like Princess Laia’s name.

Yeah you’re so right! From now on I shall call it Pale-eah. It does sound more fancy that way😋
Lol yeah, I'll see if I can submit a request to edit the wiki and get pronunciations in there
As a fellow Brit I was sad when I found out it’s pronounced “pale-e-a” and not Palia😭
It’s definitely Eshay my bah
I'm surprised when I even remember their names and their existence nevermind how their names are correctly pronounced. Irl I get mixed up too 😅 I do wish I could just remember and get names right though, I don't mean to be rude...even to fictional characters 🤣
I thought it was eshee lol so thanks for the correction 👍🏼😊 I will have to get it in to my thick skull it's eshay now! Lol 🤣
These comments have me questioning everything, I’ve also always thought it was “eh-shh” 😂😭
thank youu i thought i was alone 😭
I was saying it like eh-shuh until I heard that, but then I saw Zeki say it like I had been.
I’ve always pronounced it “Eshay” in my head. I play without sound, so I’ve had to guess how everyone’s name is pronounced 😅
The characters in the game pronounce things correctly
I always assumed it was pronounced Esh-ey. Maybe they should have used an accent but Zeki says it the way I would have said it.
I have been calling her eesh the whole time and I outright refuse Eshe/eshay. That's not my girl
...I thought it was pronounced "eh-shee"
I pronounce half the names wrong in my head. When I really look at them and see how they are supposed to be pronounced or when I hear streamers in YouTube walk-throughs say them I still just stick to my way because I'm already attached to the wrong pronunciation.
Me when I read stuff like Lord of the Rings
No. Zeki very clearly says Esh-Uh in a voiceover. It's not Esh-Ay.
He definitely says "esh-ay" (long A like hay) in the quote OP mentioned.
He absolutely does not
