Big thanks to Daniel Greenberg for the Gaming Linguistics logo!
Great research!
she is slavik, so I know exactly how to pronounce it, but just can't describe it here haha
Very interesting I actually never thought about the pronunciation. I like how made Google pronounce them lol. Lastly, I highly recommend the game
Wow that was some deep cut research – well done! I def would have defaulted to Lady D in absence of this.
Lady Mommy Vamp Milkers is the name we go with. Lol
Oh, yeah I remember her and the fandom that it got. Lots of cosplay and art thanks to this game. Thank goodness for Google Translate. 😊
Dimi treesk because that's how it's pronounced in Romania and the game by alcina herself on two separate occasions once seen in your video and once if you kill all 3 daughters she will mention how the entire dimitrescu bloodline has been wiped out by the likes of ethan
Fun fact: Add an "I" in her name and you get Alicina, which is the Romanian name of a compound obtained from garlic.
Still cant pronounce it without tripping over my words so Lady dimisjitsit it is (in all honesty this is very helpful i just talk to fast)
as a romanian my fam name is simular to hers 😭😭😭
