[MarcTheMerc]

I say it zerigium i.e zer-ri-gium

[Adamiks]

Just Xerigium, duh....

Joke. I say kse-ri-gium

[LittleGreenStone]

Anything with X in the start has to be pronounced as you would pronounce Xena the Lucy Lawless or you're wrong
and 'as you would' doesn't mean you're free to take any liberties on how you'd say it!

Kse Ridge I uhm
'I' be pronounced like how knights of Ni would pronounce it (NI! with silent N!)


Also Gif if Gif! you heretics!

That! Words with -ium tend to be of latin origin anyway, more so when it comes to plants. That's how you do it.



By the way, "gif", not "jif" -is what you wanted to say, right? RIGHT?

I pronounce it "herbal medicine" myself...

ok, truth is that I'm French and I don't imagine it hard to say.

a Phonetic translation website tell me it is wrote like that : _ksəʁiʒjɔm_

I'd imagine you would pronounce it "X-er-ridge-e-um" or "Zer-ridge-e-um"

[Jimyoda]

Google knows all!

Best response. Thanks RandomAcronym.
You can really sink your ears into this and in my opinion THE correct pronunciation.

Sounds like "Sera-G-um".

[Klitri]

It's obviously "zer-i-gi-em"

[SteelHeart]

Xerigium... hmm...
I think it goes zer-ig-ium.
I just call it zerg-ium, and pretend it has silent "I"

[Grubfist]

zehr*ij*ee*um

No stressed syllable, just start off with a german rendition of "very" and follow up rhyming with "idiom".

I've always assumed it was this.

[AllenWL]

Fiddleheads.

[Nishiji]

Hahahaha
I'm pronouncing like " ser-ei-g-ium"
ei is like ... for english is like "a"
and "g" is like... umm.. its really hard to tell but g is pronounced as "gun's g" to Turkish.
Still its so hard to tell. :/

I figured the proper pronunciation is ks-ehr-ee-ji-uhm, but since I'm a little lazy in my pronunciation, I sometimes think of it as z-ehr-ee-ji-uhm.
