    All of my friends pronounce it different ways, just wondering if there is a right way, or how most people say it!

    I say it like sy-ner-jee

    Some people say the P in it, other people say it like two words: Psy-Energy

    How do you say it?

        The first way, yes. But I find it easier simply to say "Psy-Energy" since Energy is a word in and of itself... despite the fact there is no "e" after "Psy"... but yeah, the correct is probably "Psy-ner-jee", like you said...

          I used to say it like Sie-eh-ner-JEE, but then I saw how it was spelled...but I still say it like Psyenergy. Sounds much better.

            I say it like most of you:

            Psy, as in the psy in psychic, and then nergee

            psy-nerj-ee!

            Psynergy!

              the psy has to do with the mind, and so it means mind energy (which is what psynergy is) so it would kinda make sense if you pronounced it psy-energy but the proper way is sin-ner-gee...which i guess you had all already figured out

                but look at the spelling. Psynergy you can say energy because the e isn't there.

                psn-er-gie as my friends say it but in my opinion its
                psy-nergy

                      I pronounce it 'sy-ner-jee'. I have a friend who pronounces it 'sy-en-er-jee' and I understand why some people say it like that, because the word 'Psynergy' is basically 'psychic energy'.

                        When in doubt, or ur just bored, go to speech and type misc. things in (I once got This >< close to spelling that word from Mary Poppins...)

                        I pronounce in sin-ner-gee and have done so since I first saw the game. The other ways, to me, seem rather funny (in a stupid way).

                        Always remember, Microsoft Sam is there for you to misuse and abuse whenever you want.

                        And here it is, the Water Assassins interpretation of that word:

                                    Like that some people on topics still say Issac orl ike said earlier Atlanta
                                    But it should be Isaac pronounced like I-zik and Atalanta like A-ta-lan-ta
                                    Simple no?

                                    I think myself of....

                                    Si-energy
                                    But i say psi-energy

                                                      Dunno about Feizhi. Perhaps Fi-zee or Fee-zee. At first I thought psynergy was pronounced sin-er-gee, and then I thought sci-energy, but then, I dicovered something called... the dictionary. "synergy (sin-er-gee)- the ability to move objects whith one's mind." It's in there. Just without the "p". Berfore someone asks... djinn is pronounced jinn, or gin, however you look at it. Not Dee-jin. Also in the dictionary. Look people.

                                                          Psynergy: Psychic + Energy = Psynergy (Sai-ner-jee)

                                                          Djinn: i pronounce it with a slight "D" sound brfore the jinn so it's like a quick "duhjinn"
