Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Chalchiuhtlicue [t͡ʃaːɬt͡ʃiwˈt͡ɬikʷeː]

Best I can do is this: chal-chew-KLEE-kway

With some help from Forvo. The [t͡ɬ] sounds like KL to my Canadian ears and not TL (which doesn't happen at the start of syllable in English anyway).

Edit: apparently that's just rhe the deity... Not sure what to do with the last few letters. "eh-kattle"?

Yep, that's just the deity.

There's also pronunciation videos, FYI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pklyVXkYgk&t=35s
