How do you pronounce Quafe?
Does it rhyme with waif, or cafT ?
Inquiring minds want to know.

I say, rhymes with waif
but the Gallente are french, so it's probably kwa-fey.
rhymes with coffee, another 'energy drink', so I'm thinking this is probably how the devs pronounce it too.
definitely one for a Dev to chime in on.

Maybe its a take on french and the word Quaff (i.e. to drink),,, adding an e on the end makes it sound more,,,, uh,,, french,,,,,

To "quaff" is to drink. Get it? Get it?
Yeah, you try making homonyms and homophones someday.

No idea, I pronounce it kwaff in my head...
By the way, what the hell is a long limbed roe, where do they come from and what do they taste like...lemme guess, they taste like chicken.
I saw that tiny picture/description of them and it was oh so not appetising looking.
Like frog legs, only worse.

In some gallente stations you can hear an ad board chanting about the greatness of quafe, and yes it rhymes with 'waif'
If I had an Alt I would probably post with it... |

I think I heard a dev at the first fanfest (when they were giving the stuff away free) pronounce if quaff-eee. If im right he said it was supposed to sound like a new york waitress asking if you wanted coffee. Or something like that.

I'd always pronounced it 'kwaif', but thinking about it 'kwar-fee' makes sense on a whole new level of punmeisterdom.

They had a bottle of that stuff at one of the last Caldari Alliance Tournaments on EVE TV. I think they pronounced it kwah-fey.

And for that matter, is it Nike to rhyme with bike, Neekay like the goddess, or Nuykee to rhyme with.......uh, I'm not sure what thats supposed to rhyme with, but all the cool kids say it that way.
And for that matter- Por-sh or Por-sha?!
I'm pretty sure when people make up brand names, they're just making it difficult to spite us.........

Quafe is apparently a highly caffienated drink, so it should resemble the french way of saying coffee: cafT.
imo it should thus be pronounced as:
Kwa-fey

If you see me post it's because either:
1) Silly forums made me do it
2) Because I was too lazy to change characters
3) Because I wanted to
4) <insert mod comment here> |

It was actually settled at a Fan Fest a few years ago I believe whe CCP was selling the real life version of Quafe and it is pronounced Kway-f. (rhymes with safe)
The Devs say so.
