do you say the “oo” in “awoofy” like the “oo” in “goose” or the “oo” in “foot”? [kbin repost]
[let's hope this one isn't as big of a disaster as the awoofy port.]
in ipa: do you say /əwufi/ (/u/ as in “goose”) or /əwʊfi/ (/ʊ/ as in “foot”)?
yet another way to put it: do you say awoofy or awoofy?
or maybe you say it a secret third way?

[sorry for the mess i'm making on lemmy.world, both kbin.social and lemm.ee only have the new instance of each post]
[i love juggling three instances at the same time (:]
for the record, i say it the first way (/u/ as in “goose”). hearing kirbyvolt (other comment) say it the other way in their kirby and the forgotten land let’s play is what inspired me to post this.
i wasn't able to find an official english pronunciation from the nintendo of america youtube channel, but here's how various youtubers pronounce it:
/u/ as in "goose" / awoofy:
AntDude
pengyd769
Miketendo
The Completionist
Quasimofo
BornLosersGaming
StephenPlays
The D-Pad
/ʊ/ as in "foot" / awoofy:
Etce
Daily Doodles for You
KirbyVolt
ZackScottGames
based on this list, it seems like the first pronunciation (/u/ as in “goose”) is more common. but this isn't a big sample size so who really knows. feel free to bring up how other youtubers / notable people say it.
