I just came in here to say that the 2000s version of Pingu sucked ass and they could have found someone better than whoever they did to do Pingu's voice properly.

Thank you.

The fact that he has a voice outside of the trumpeting 'whaap whaap' sound is sacrilege

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 9 points 4 months ago

Correct, but he famously says "noot noot".

I'm not a native speaker of Penguish

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I'm not a native speaker of Horseish either but I know they don't say "rrribbit".

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 4 months ago

I know a lot of words that are not said in Chinese, however I can't spell a single word correctly that is.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

So what you're saying is that it is the spelling of "noot noot" that's the issue. I get ya.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago

I was being facetious, however how one would spell something in what isn't their language can be difficult. Look at /r/boneappletea for examples.

Once you showed me a better way of describing the sound it makes instant sense. Even though by thinking about it I can almost hear the sound, it's rather hard finding the correct way to describe it in English (which isn't my native language)

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Interesting. English isn't my native language either, but I do speak and write at a native level due to a few factors, so that might be the difference.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago

That way you are familiar with the spelling of fantasy animal noises?

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

No, just sounds/phonetics in English in general, due to lots of experience.
