How Do You Pronounce LUMINES?

[Javery]

I say Loo-min-ez but today at EB I heard someone say Lu-my-knees or something...

 

[Mr Unoriginal]

I think I pronounce it Loom-ins. But I've never said it out loud before.

 

[evilmax17]

It looks like it should be pronounced loo-mines, but it's been confirmed to be loo-min-ess.

 

[adamsappel]

Loo-minn-aze.

 

[Monty 4.0]

Judging from the ads for it I would assume its loo-min-ess as well. But then again what do I know.

Eh, just some otaku trying to talk like a Japanese person.

Smack him if you see him again.

Btw, lumen is an SI unit for measuring light, which is where the name of the game came from.

Gamespots video review pronounced it "LU-MI-NES".

 

[Quackzilla]

Ah, with emphasis on NES, like luminescence.

 

[pumbaa]

I think its Lum-i-ness... like the word Luminous... but I pronouned it Lum-in-ease for a while.

Loo-Mines. That's how I'll say it.

On IGN, there's a video interview with Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the creator of Lumines. He pronounces it loo-min-ess, like in luminescence. I always thought it was loo-mins before I saw that video.

I have a friend in Latin, and "lumines" is a Latin word for light or brightness, something like that. It's Loo-men-ess.
