That Maria voice says it like I've heard the Maemo people do.

The closest spelling for the correct pronunciation (using the Maria voice as my guide) for my dialect (Canadian English) is "my-ai-mo" all smoothly run together. The "ai" is pronounced how we would say the letter "A" (or the trademark Canadian "eh?").

EDIT: I think "may-moe" is a acceptable approximation, and really, it doesn't matter much how you pronounce it.

What's the right pronouncement for Maemo?

And what does it mean?

Just curious

My-Mo

And I have no idea, lol (I guess it could be a finnish play on words with My-Mobile?)

M-ey-mow?

i-dont-really-know

in the dictionary, mostly "ae" is pronounced like "eigh" as in "neighbor"

I would like to know the exact pronunciation as well.

Not good in my English class since day 1 i started school.

TBH, I would have agreed and originally thought it was pronounced "Mey-mo", but I have seen too many Youtube vids from user and those in the industry call it "Mymo"

It's officially pronounced My-Mo by Nokians.
