I asked this question in the IRC chat and I just think it's interesting. I also wonder if pronunciation influences the "Tulpas" vs. "Tulpae" debate or at least makes either side sound off or even sillier!

 

I found some (but not much) on the subject matter:

Meow. You may see my headmates call me Gray or sometimes Cat.

I used to speak in pink and Ranger used to speak in blue (if it's unmarked and colored assume it's Ranger). She loves to chat.

I've always pronounced it toll-puh, toll as in toll booth and puh as in putt.

 

Edit: Good description from /u/Valkyrie_of_Loki: Tull-puh rhyming with dull duh

 

Do most people pronounce the second part as pah as in padding?

Tull-puh.

 

I didn't know people pronounced it differently than that O_o

 

Tul-pa(h) kinda makes sense to me.

 

"Tool" is different than "tul" in tulpa

"Tall" is different than "tul" in tulpa

"toll" is different than "tul" in tulpa

 

But maybe people in different areas pronounce "tul" differently? Very interesting

yeah basically what everyone already said lol, I didn't know anyone pronounced it differently. Tull-puh, dull huh!

Hi, I'm one of Lumi's tulpas! I like rain and dancing and dancing in the rain and if there's frogs there too that's bonus points.

I think being happy and having fun makes life worth living, so spreading happiness is my number one goal!

"Tull-puh." The plural is "tull-puhs."

"toll" is different than "tul" in tulpa

 

It's such a subtle difference but I guess you're right.

 

And the plural is obviously Tail-pay, good thing everyone pronounces that the same way.
