Title: how to pronounce Uranus
Video: you don't
Uragnus
Wait, the captions (press C) at the single frame at 2:26;20 is just ... two separate lines, one being the captions for 2:26;19 and the other being the captions for 2:26;21. How could I have just noticed...
My anus.
Uranus is not to pronouce. It for me to put my pee pee in.
The Almighty it’s urn is
In Soviet Russia, it is OURanus
best comment so far
By the way, we don't have this problem in Russia, as we pronounce it "oo-RUN" ("Уран", transliterated "Uran")
Run Vasya run, ne ostav oo-Run'a musoram run run!
Lol
@@satan9487 nah
I love pronouncing Uranus in the Finnish way, which is said Oo-ra-nus.
Its fun to see if others notice this.
Nice word
I wish I was Finnish🇫🇮 but I’m American 🇺🇸
Even though I’m Canadian, I’ll be using that pronunciation from now on. Sounds much better than your-anus.
In Polish, it's called Uran (pronounced Ooo-ran), the same as the element Uranium
Same in Russian.
Same in Ukrainian.

Ive always referred to it using the Greek pronunciation, "oo-ron-os". keeps things so much more mature xD
That's YOUR problem. The rest of us like humour and comedy.

Yū-ră-nŭs, easy.
CGP Grey is overcomplicating things.
Honestly, same. I think that pronunciation is way better
@@CarvedHauntsCollects its about being correct not about being nerdy
In Swedish it also translates perfectly into "out from anus"
"Ur Anus"
or just "from anus" depending on context
😭
Yoo you so SMART

_understandable have a great day_
Thank you chika

no it is ur anus
Apparently NASA will send a probe deep into Uranus to analyse it's gaseous composition.
@@rayanhalim nah it is *UrAnus*
We should change Neptune's name to "mypeenas", and we are all set.
Francisco Roy De Mare Then we just have to hope Mypeenas doesn't crash into Uranus.
I'm glad you got the joke.
Francisco Roy De Mare omg my throat made an unnatural sound that resembled a snort.
D= Maybe you should see a doctor hahaha :D
+Gladiator in a Suit, I just tried that, and omg.
Wait. I actually love the pronunciation of oo-RON-ohs or maybe a combination like oo-RON-us. Also, yes, I am 10 years late to the party.
OoRONohs, that sounds interesting ngl
You're ten years late, but perfectly right. The planet is already pronounced "Oo-RUN-us " in every single language except for English.
I typically go with Yoo-RAN-us nowadays, and I get weird looks from people for "mispronouncing the planet"
You're in time.
If they named this planet Caelus instead, I don’t think Uranus Jokes would exist now.
plus it sounds like celestial

It’s obviously “You’re In us”.
As an elementary science teacher with a penchant for both accuracy and propriety, I have chosen to teach the pronunciation as the Greeks would have:"Oo-ron-ohs", the way he describes it fleetingly at 3:14.
It seems the easiest way to avoid the uncomfortable banter that follows the other ones. And it is historically accurate.
As an elementary science teacher, I hope you're also teaching ALL NINE planets to the kids, as every science teacher did for decades before you.
When Uranus is so large that it’s classified as a planet

It's so interesting to me that this was put out around 5 years prior to New Horizons reaching Pluto. The images of Pluto used in this video-so blurry and pixelated-were the absolute best that were available prior to New Horizon's 2015 fly-by.
As a kid I learned Your-anus, like everyone I suppose.
But day one of my Astronomy classes the teacher said, |It's pronounced Yur-in-us.". And a whole class of teenagers adjusted our pronunciation pretty much instantly. Decades later I still call it Yur-in-us.
Though I'm really liking that Greek pronunciation. Yoo-ra-us is nice.

In the future, it's called: Urectum.

Wow, it's amazing how far Grey videos have come, working with animators has really helped him
We should use the Greek version, Ouranos. I totally agree with that.
yep
Yup, bro
I vow to do so in all future verbal references to the planet. Unless I am explaining what oo-RON-ohs is to other people.
you sir are a gentleman and a scolar
Lol I thought the same thing u my good sir are slaying at life🙌
Earth can be fit into Uranus multiple times
Everyone is disappointed in me.
Why WHY DID I HAVE TO BE TAUGHT TO LAUGH AT THIS
kinky
Oh no it can't.
Yeah, so?
The Greek pronunciation is the best in my opinion, it's the one I use and it sounds the coolest too.

I like how he writes as an XML tag
My Latin teacher used to crack “Always put the em-PHA-sis on the right syl-LA-ble,” to remind us that Latin usually puts the stress on the next to last syllable, but Greek usually puts it two before the last. (Emphasis and syllable both being words derived from Greek.)
Teacher: Uranus is a *gas giant*

Alex Niggins ok I just realized
Uranus isn’t even funny
Uranus is a gas giant, ＊ｙｏｕｒｓ ｆｕｌｌ ｏｆ ｇａｓ＊

*•*
Ouranos is clearly the best-sounding pronunciation.
Agreed
do you mean Our-Anus, basically the same but in 1st person plural?
+Professorbairos. I've heard "OOR-un-uss" before ... which works better than most IMO.
Yes, it's how Greek speaking people pronounce it. Here's how it's written too: Ουρανός
(three syllables: Ου-ρα-νός, Oo-ra-nos)
I'm gonna start calling it that way :D
Love the reference, html and programming nerds got that one
3:39 I think I have been on that path IRL it looks so familiar
0:49 to me it sounds like "YOU'RE-in-us" which is a bit worse.
Me too lmao
uranus is never safe
Behold, the planet of cannibalism.
I pronounce it like 'You ren oos'

I'm french and this never came to my mind so I guess this problem might be for English speakers only so don't change anything. We won't change something only for a reason like that and if we have to do that for all languages it may convey many changes.

i propose an alternate pronunciation
you ren ease
I think you mean You're In Us.
*Homophones are **_hard_*
The Greeks are smart.
The Greeks say ‘oo-ra-noss’.
Be like the Greeks.
Considering that the other planets are all Latin deities, we could just change Uranus to Caelus, his Latin counterpart. Or we could go the other way and make all of them Greek: Hermes, Aphrodite, Earth (Gaia?), Ares, Zeus, Kronos, Ouranos and Poseidon, plus our favourite dwarf Hades and the other dwarf will be Demeter
There are also lots of other reasons to be like the Greeks
@@leysont This would be the best version ever, as the Greeks were the ones who brought astronomy to Europe, not the Romans. Greek naming would be amazing

Anus means anus in German so I don't see their point there
We were just trolling
@@imvine In German Ur- is also a prefix to indicate how ancient, thorough or original the word it's attached to is. So we've got a rich source of semi-mature jokes here as well. However you have to make an effort to come up with cringy jokes about Uranus in German, while they come along as a natural byproduct when you simply talk about the Planet in English.
In german, you can translate it into: Old anus,
So they're clearly not any better
@@verbugterherrderdunkelheit6086 Yeah, but it's pronounced U-ranus rather than Ur-anus. Thus, as Martin said, such jokes don't occur naturally, but you have to bend your speach to achieve them.

In Spanish there is a similar problem, the greek letter Theta (θ), its pronunciation means "boob", so most math teachers on high school have to pronounce it like "theeta" ("títa" in Spanish pronunciation). And there is a double problem, as the Spanish word for sine is "seno", that is exactly the same word for "breast"; so, imagine our trigonometry classes on high school when you have to calculate the breast of boob: sin(θ)
theeta is how we call it
Screw it, i'm gonna start calling it Herschel.

@Blue Tide YES UR-MAJESTY SOUNDS FABULOUS!
I like the idea of calling it yur-RINE-us
The name bothers me only because of the inconsistency of it being the only planet named from Greek mythology rather than its Roman equivalent: Caelus
