:::When does it come out with that pronounciation? An e at the end of a word is often silent in English, and the anime pronounces it with four syllables. Note that when it is a silent e the Vire (like wire) is considered a single syllable, not two. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 05:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC) | :::When does it come out with that pronounciation?

::::That's weird. When I try to pronounce wire it also comes out as two syllables (Wye-Ur). Consider that it rhymes with briar/brier (Brye-Ur). --[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] 10:58, 25 October 2010 (UTC) | ::::That's weird.

:::::It's because of the semi-silent nature of the e. It modifies the pronounciation of the r, but it isn't a separate syllable because it isn't pronounced itself. A syllable needs at least one ''pronounced'' vowel. If it were two syllables it would be wye-rey. The English language can be very odd at times. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 20:29, 25 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
