1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

BJD pronunciations!

Apr 15, 2014

    1. Ooh this is fun
      I'm an ipple house sayer. And for me Yder is ee-dur
       
    2. I have always said "eye-pull-house". I think I heard someone on a YouTube video refer to it as such. But it does look as though it should be pronounced "ipple-house".
       
    3. Am I the only person out there who pronounces Migidoll with a hard g? Everyone else I've heard pronounces it like Mijidoll. I'm probably wrong I'm guessing but it sounds better to me.

      Iplehouse = eye pull house
      Minifee = mini fee (I know this is wrong and it should be "fay" but I can't get my head round that for some reason)
      Feeple = fee pull
      Yder = eye-dur
       
    4. I always said eye-pull-house. Ipple-house, rhyming with nipple, sounds way too weird to me haha. Now I am starting to say ee-pull-house since "ip" is Korean for leaf and pronounced like "eep". :)
       
    5. For me Bobobie is said Bo-Bo-bee which sometimes becomes Boobie
       
    6. Wait! I can help!! I attended the Korean BJD show, and Migidoll was there. I actually asked how they pronounced their name, and Hyzenthlay, you are correct! It is indeed a hard G, and not Mijeedoll, like I'd been saying for who knows how long! :)

      Interesting, I asked Ms Cholong (who is Korean) about the pronunciation of iplehouse, and neither ipple, nor eye-pull was correct. She said they actually say ee-pull-howss, which I am struggling to remember. But at least it doesn't rhyme with, well, you know.
       
    7. I always said ipple-house until I watched box opening videos and in every single one the person said eye-pull-house so I thought I was wrong. Though now I'm going back to what I was thinking before. Though after reading alington's response, I'm going to say "ee-pull" now lol.

      I pronounce Migidoll with the hard g too.

      As for the rest

      Leekeworld: Leak world - it would have NEVER occurred to me that someone would say leeky world o.O When I see e's at the end of words like that, I tend to drop them off... like they fall into the category of words like "late" or "infinite". I mispronounce a lot of things though :/

      Feeple/MiniFee/LittleFee: fee-pull/mini-fee/little-fee (apparently it's suppose to be "fay"? I never knew xD)
      Bobobie: Boh-boh-bee
      Unoa: oo-no-ah
      Lishe: lish
      Feilian: fay-lee-ann
      moe: kind of go between just "moh" and "moh-ee"
      Luts: luhts
      Yder/Ys: ya-der/yis (probably wrong haha)
       
    8. I say ipple-house.

      :) It's neat to learn it's the Korean Word for Leaf. Though I did not know the "ipp" part should be pronounced as "eep ." Learned something new.
