-"How would I say MUni?"-

It's pronounced " MOON-E "

( In-other-words, " UNI " with an " M " in front of it).

Short for Mountain Unicyling... 😉

No, it's pronounced myoonie. I've heard many, many people say it this
way. Listen to Chase.

No, a Moonie is a carbon-based lifeform once plentiful in the airports
of America, although its habitat has been shrinking since 9/11.

I'm down for:

m-YOU-neee.

-but then I also properly pronounce "I'm fine" (as opposed to "I-eeem
fi-eeen", like them yankees.) Hold the "i" a little long. Don't put
those eee's in there (like saying cheese for the camera). Properly
spoke, the phrase could drag on for up to 2 full seconds.

Being multi-dialectual, I understand accents from boston, chicago, the
'hood, the sticks. If you told me about your Moonie ride, I'd know what
you meant.

It is pronounced "m-YOU-neee". Period.

That's how i always expected it to sound before i ever heard anyone say
it. And it's the only way i've ever heard it pronounced (by, say, 50
different people, many times).

It's 'uni' (= "YOU-nee"😉 with a "m" on the front. Like 'mule' or
'mute', but put with a 'knee' sound (= "nee"😉 instead of the "le" or
"te" sound.

"mu" + "nee", or
"m-YOU-neee"

I have always heard it prononced Moonie. All the people I know say it
that way, but then again, most of those people say it that way because I
say it that way, and I am supposed to know everything about unicycling
(at least in some peoples *cough*MiniMUni*cough* think so)

People who throw stones at you are quietly saying, "shoot me," they're
just not being verbally expressive enough.

I think that's pretty well settled. If you're not sure how to pronounce
it, try buying a video or something. Offhand I don't know for sure which
ones mention it verbally other than Blood Sweat and Wheels, which I
don't think was ever on the market.

Here's another one people like to hack: Miyata. Like "Iraq," there is an
American tendency to mis-pronounce the "i". Here's an easy way to deal
with this. When in doubt, the letter i, in any language other than
English, is almost never pronounced "eye." It's usually pronounced
"eee."

"Meee-yahta"
"Eeee-rock"

Okay? So it's not "My-yatta" and it's not "Eye-rack."

Thank you for reading.

Coker follows standard rules of English pronunciation. It's like the
drink, not the spastic singer (Cocker).

I'm sorry, but I have never heard of a "Moonie". Can you just help me
out a bit and tell me what it is?
