I've always said it go-lem, like the dictionary suggests.

Does anyone say it the way it's said in Dragon Age? What's up with that anyway? Just some flair to the setting?

Gol-em.

[Kilafer]

Go-Lem for me too.

I've always pronounced it like that.

I don't give a damn "what the dictionary suggests".



Ga-lem.

[Korvayer]

If I were to hazard a guess I'd say it's the British pronunciation.

My theory is that is it just another one of those Canadian quirks that (US)Americans have to deal with, much like how they mispell the word "center" and insist on using that insanely logical thing called a "metric system."

[ReubenLiew]

Go-Lem.

Anyone on the forum speek hebrew? It would be fun to know how the word is pronounced in hebrew, as I know the word originally comes from jewish folklore.

[SusanStoHelit]

goll - em (that's how I pronounce it, but I'm Australian)

Edit: (in Jewish legend) an artificially created human being brought to life by supernatural means [from Yiddish goylem, from Hebrew gōlem formless thing]

I speak it both ways. Often I say it how Smeagol does, in LotR.

Well as the word comes from the Yiddish, as another poster already pointed out, though go-lem might not be completly correct, ga-lem is deffinitly wrong.

You do realize though that the name Gollum Smeagol gave himself in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, has nothing to do whatsoever with the Golem of jewish legend?
