    Hey guys, I been on twitch alot lately and from what I seen, streamers have been pronouncing boss names different from each other and I even asked a couple players in-game on it.
    I know this is random, but I gotta know. Please!

    Is Zakum pronounced as "ZAY-KUM", "ZAY-KOOM", "ZAH-KUM", or "ZAH-KOOM"?

    I pronounce it "ZAH-KUM", for no reason in particular.

    Well from what I know Maplestory was made by Koreans and the name for Zakum is: " 자쿰" in korean which is prounounced as "Ja-Coom". So because of how it is pronounced in Korean I'd say the closest pronunciation of Zakum would be: "ZAH-COOM"

    Also, 'meso' 'perion' and 'leafre' are also some controversial ones.

    I'm a firm believer in the zah-kum camp. Also meso like the soup mee-so. And Hennesys like the liquor. El nath like ehl nayth. MapleF3
