How do you personally pronounce "Saiyan"?

[Ki Breaker]

I say it as
Say yan..
Sometimes like
Saay eyan
This just rolls out the tongue better

[PsionicWarrior]

Saiyajin, because I think it sounds better than dubs lol

You mean the English dubs specifically right? Because a ton of dubs out there say it the original way. Some of the known ones are the Latin Spanish dub, the Brazilian Portuguese dub, and the German dub.

[PsionicWarrior]

Yeah any dub that translates it, for instance I grew up with the french dub where they say "Saiyen" lol

I go back and forth between Say-an and Sigh-an. It's hard not to use Say-an at times because I don't want to come off as an elitist douchebag (not saying those that use it are elitist, just that it may come off that way to strangers). When I do use the correct pronunciation, though, I don't bring it up or anything unless someone tries to correct me or asks about my pronunciation. Hinestly, though, the dub pronunciation doesn't really bother me anymore, even though I'd love it if they corrected it. But that ship probably sailed with Kai, so I made my peace with the pronunciation. It's just too ingrained, I think. It never bothered me as much as stuff like Kayoken or Kuhmayhuhmayhuh (though I at least GET where that one came from), and those have been fixed since Kai. But yeah, I alternate between the two.

...What he said. I mean I know Sigh-an is the more correct way to say it and I do try to use that most of the time, but I've heard the Say-an pronounciation so much over the years that it's hard for me to completely shake it. Sort of like how I still find it a bit awkward to call Goku's first teacher "the Turtle Sage" because "Kame-Sennin" is just so ingrained in my mind after having read the entirety of the old Norwegian manga translation which called him that.

soppa saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he face Jingonigen-hachigo.
But for real, I use the Funi pronunciation.

That's hilarious! Looks like I've found my signature.

[MaxZ]

the traditional funi way, but I have no problem with people saying sigh un

[Black Hawk]

I've always used the term Saiyajin, since a friend in Japan first got me into Dragon Ball (and, to my knowledge, Harmony Gold was the only existing English dub at the time), but I use Say-uhn when speaking with someone in-person for ease of understanding.
