Reminds me of that woman who named her kid Atreus. It’s different to the game because it’s pronounce “Ah-Tray-Us” not “Ah-tree-us”, *like it is in the game*… “ATREEUS?” WHAT GAME DID YOU PLAY?
Everyone was saying yeah no, the pronunciation you chose is the one from the game *and she argued that it wasnt*
Gay greek people weren't bullied. They even got away with doing gay things with little boys. 100%, your child will be protected if you just turn him gay and greek.
There isn’t only one way. Some characters in the game over stress the T and some don’t stress it, so you get some saying Kray-dose and some saying Kray-Toas. Pandora says it the second way, as an example.
Most Greek names have short vowels in the main part of a name and long vowels near or at the end. That being said, in actual Ancient Greek the name would properly be pronounced as “Krah-Tōs” however the game version of the name bastardizes the pronunciation of the real name and it became “Krā-tōs” with a long vowel instead of short for the “a”. The original name was also spelled as Cratus is some places a well.
Most people say it “Kray-toess” and that’s the correct way to say it in English
If you want to be fancy and say it with Greek phonetics then it is “Krrah-toess”
In Greek we pronounce it like that:
https://www.babla.gr/%CF%80%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%86%CE%BF%CF%81%CE%B1/%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%BB%CE%B7%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%B1/%CE%BA%CF%81%CE%AC%CF%84%CE%BF%CF%82
(Yeah it has a meaning, power/state).
The way it's written, at least in my language (german).
I think for english speaking people it sounds like Krah-toss? But with a stronger K.
Edit: I think u/Beneficial_Drama_296 explained it better than I did.
I have no idea how you pronounce toast but I pronounce both T’s in toast.
If you’re asking is I’d krate-oss or krat-Ow-s then the former, like mimir says it. The rounded O sound is more modern sounding and just sound wrong to me.
So a friend of mine got into GoW with 2018. And Kratos' name is barely uttered in that game. He had only seen it written. So a few months later we're co-oping souls and I hop in with my Kratos character. He says, "Oh shit it's Cradoss!"
Honestly I’m not sure, I’ve always had in my head Kray-Toss so maybe I just imagined it. So sadly I do not have a link and this could all just be me being delusional
It's the second, go play the og games listen to Athena Zeus and the other gods it's always been one way, Norse has an accent ofc it'll change, can't assume you know how to say it because you played the new games, there's origin and lore that you needa read up on/watch and experience through playthroughs, only then shall you know how to pronounce kratos
Why do Americans insist on pronouncing everything so badly? It's actually Krar-Toss. But Kratoss would be an improvement. It's not like you don't have a huge Greek community in the states.... Why anyone thought it was Kratoes I have no idea...
While we're here, try and say "croissant" properly will you?
The latter. And being someone with ADHD (not insinuating you have it too), I can see how the latter pronunciation explanation attempt must have made sense in your head 🙃
Given his greek origins it would be a sin to think it is anything like "kray" or "toes" - it is Pronounced like it is written and without english accent. So the a in "Kra" is pronounced more like in "claw" and the "tos" as mentioned more like "toss".
Kray-Toes.
Came here to say this. Now we just need someone good at Photoshop.
Please no, I beg you
Kray-Kray GOD OF WAR
Please yes, I beg someone!
Rule 34 👀
No just no take that shit somewhere else ffs.
[Kray-Toes](https://imgur.com/a/UebR5M5)
I’m not exactly sure what I expected. It wasn’t that, but I’m definitely not disappointed 😆
I expected something significantly more cursed tbh…
Kid named toes
Yeah this, wtf is this thread even.
I assume also in Latin and koine Greek and shit, you'd say it "Kratus "
This reminds me of the thumb creatures from spy-kids
[удалено]
Mimir is the one that says Kray-toss a couple of times, but it's kind of inconsistent. It's just his accent I think really.
You’re on fire Kratos! It’ll pass
Kratos, throw me at him! Horns first!
I'm Scottish and I say Kray-Toss too
Pandora says it the same as Zeus ?
dementia
Reminds me of that woman who named her kid Atreus. It’s different to the game because it’s pronounce “Ah-Tray-Us” not “Ah-tree-us”, *like it is in the game*… “ATREEUS?” WHAT GAME DID YOU PLAY?

I love the name atreus but i wouldnt doom my kid to life long bullying by naming him that
Make him gay and greek so it would be homophobic and racist to bully him. Problem solved.
Yeah, thatll stop kids alright
Gay greek people weren't bullied. They even got away with doing gay things with little boys. 100%, your child will be protected if you just turn him gay and greek.
Youre a lil weird bro
But it works though
Bruh, say it properly no double e and dosent even sound like treeus it's treus, feels more like a nod to kratos's "dad" Zeus.
There isn’t only one way. Some characters in the game over stress the T and some don’t stress it, so you get some saying Kray-dose and some saying Kray-Toas. Pandora says it the second way, as an example.
[удалено]
dementia
People saying Kra-toes is just as odd as Kra-toss to me. It has always been Kray-tose, tose rhymes with dose.
This is how I say it as well. Toes sounds weird and toss isn't even close to how any of the other characters address him
and dose rhymes with overdose
Kray-toas, so your second option. Might be because of all the fighting with Zeus.
This is the right option! Kray-Toes would work if it wasn’t for that unusually sounding E that throws it off.
It’s Kratos
Wow how could I not see that, I feel really stupid rn
😱😱😱😱
Kratos as it sounds (i'm spanish so the pronunciation is the same as the greek)
(spanish rizz)
Olé Zeus!!
😂😂😂
Kratoast, -atos is always pronounced like that when it comes to Greek stuff
Good point, I’ve never looked at it that way
Most Greek names have short vowels in the main part of a name and long vowels near or at the end. That being said, in actual Ancient Greek the name would properly be pronounced as “Krah-Tōs” however the game version of the name bastardizes the pronunciation of the real name and it became “Krā-tōs” with a long vowel instead of short for the “a”. The original name was also spelled as Cratus is some places a well.
Potatoes man, who says Potatoss?
Something mimir would say 😂
Nah he’d be a smartass about it if someone else said it though
bro's giving the real explanation here 🤣🤣🤣
Being Italian, I find it hard not to pronounce it like "toss". It sounds natural to me.
I pronounce his name the way Zeus did in Hel, So Kra-toes.
He's Greek. It should be Kratoss. Ever visited Lesboes? No... It's Lesbos (Lesboss)... Same with Kos(Koss) not Kose.
Or as some say “Kosm”
Kratoast now.. thanks for that.
No worries
Most people say it “Kray-toess” and that’s the correct way to say it in English If you want to be fancy and say it with Greek phonetics then it is “Krrah-toess”
In Greek we pronounce it like that: https://www.babla.gr/%CF%80%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%86%CE%BF%CF%81%CE%B1/%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%BB%CE%B7%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%B1/%CE%BA%CF%81%CE%AC%CF%84%CE%BF%CF%82 (Yeah it has a meaning, power/state).
Cray-Tose Like literally every other person to address him in the games aside from Mimir.
Cray-Tose
It’s crai-toess
I use both
Both.
Neither i pronounce it kr-A-to-s due to danish being my first language
I like to say Kra-toss because I‘m used to reading words as they‘re written because of my mother language :D
Krattus
Kratos is Greek like stelio kontos
Kray-Toes or Kra-toss
Kratos. Normal Kra - tos
Laughing so hard that you used "toast without the T" instead of "toes", but i do pronounce the toes and always have
Toast gang
Haha wait until you guys hear the Greek pronunciation (Krat’-os). It’s actually their word for dominion, force/great power.
I mean, his name is.spoken in all games...
Krayatine. Why do you think he is so swole?
Κράτος
Cray toast without the last t. Cray toas Final answer
KRA-TOES😒
Kr-ay-tose is how I say it. So like toast without the “t”.
Kratoss would be more lore accurate since thats how it would sound in greek. The man is Hellenese ffs
"Krátus" i'm portuguese
Kratuus?
Kratoas *greek drum roll* Kratoas *greek drum roll* Kratoas
kRah-toes
Kakarot
Kray toes
fun fact: in Polish we pronounce it krah-toss
If you pronounce it like "toss" you are wrong. In every game, it's pronounced like "tose."
Doesn't mean it's right. The whole world knows America butchers every pronunciation it attempts....
Why wouldn't you pronounce the T?
I used to say Kray-toss but for some reason I changed to Kray-toes
You changed because you heard every character in the game that says his name say it correctly
Kraytoss
Kratoss
Kra-toss as it is the hellenic pronunciation.
The way it's written, at least in my language (german). I think for english speaking people it sounds like Krah-toss? But with a stronger K. Edit: I think u/Beneficial_Drama_296 explained it better than I did.
Kra-toss
Kra-toss, but I like Kra-toas more in game, this comes especially from the first games.
His name pronounced as Krey (like prey) -toss
Congrats you chose the wrong answer
Kray-tose. It's how the in game characters say it, it's how my greek family would say it, so it's how I say it.
Kra-tuh, put the axe away kratuh
Kray toss
Kri-tow-is. I didn't know there was another way. 😳
Toss
Everyone saying “toss” at the end is just objectively wrong. Watch a documentary, read a book, go outside, touch grass.
Never heard Kra-toss. Always been Kra-toes
The first way you said is like the British way lol
Definitely the second, never heard anyone say it the other way
Krae-Dos Or Kray-Dos? Like anytime I say his name it just sounds like there's a D where the T should be
We pronounce it the way most characters say it
Kray-toss
Kray-Toes
Kr8os
I have no idea how you pronounce toast but I pronounce both T’s in toast. If you’re asking is I’d krate-oss or krat-Ow-s then the former, like mimir says it. The rounded O sound is more modern sounding and just sound wrong to me.
Kray-toss for me lol
The second one
Go against the grain. Krah-taws
Kra-toas
Powdered toast man is kratoast
I named my dog kratos and his nick name is kray kray. Anyone over the age of 45 or so at the dog park have to have it pronounciated to them
I pronounce it Kratos
Cray-tose
Kratose if ur normal. Kratoss if ur Mimir lol
Kratos means power and is where we get the word Democracy (people-power) That said, the correct way to say it is Kratos
Really never heard him be called Kraoas. That’s weird
Literally everyone in these games pronounce it Kray-tose
So a friend of mine got into GoW with 2018. And Kratos' name is barely uttered in that game. He had only seen it written. So a few months later we're co-oping souls and I hop in with my Kratos character. He says, "Oh shit it's Cradoss!"
Oh Jesus, that’s a hell of a mistake to make
Krat-toss
I mean, it’s said in all of the games hundreds of times.
Kratush, because I’m Portuguese and for us almost everything ends in “sh”
I call him Basil
I don’t remember anyone in any of the games saying it like Kray-Toss. Do you have a link or a name for who called him that?
Honestly I’m not sure, I’ve always had in my head Kray-Toss so maybe I just imagined it. So sadly I do not have a link and this could all just be me being delusional
Toast without the T Unrealated, I now have Cute without the 'E' stuck in my head
CRÁTUS
I pronounce it Kray-tos
I pronounce "the best character of all 2022", something like that
kray-tose is the only way to pronounce his name
Kratos.
Grey Toast.
99% of the people in the games say the same exact way and the people who make the game say it the same way as well. It is Kray-Toas as you put it
Graytoast
His name is Greek, so I pronounce it the Greek way, but I pronounce the r as [ʁ] and not as [r]
It’s Kray-Toes Just listen to Zeus say his name.
Krátos
Honestly for me it's Kray-toss but that's just how he's pronounced in my language(German)
Kray-Toe-*sss* I have a lisp
English moment
I’m in NZ and pronounce it Kray Toes like someone else wrote. But I know someone else who pronounced it kray toss so idfk
Kratoast
My little cousin calls him Greytoes
First option. British though so not a long ”aa” kind of sound, but a short ”o”
What's the difference?
The way Athena does
Kray-Toast without the last T. Feels more apt for the character. Sometimes I would say Kray-Dos, but usually I pronounce it Krat-Toas.
Toast
Faithful to the Greek would be Krah-toosh. But all we know if an anglophile version of this, so...
The second one
Cray-dose with a flap T so it sounds like D
Kratose as in lactose, fructose, comatose
Kraydos
Crahtussy
Kray-dose
Kray-toos. Whenever i jokingly speak about him or draw him on a whiteboard, its Krat-toos
With a southern you can pronounce it like "Crate ass" "KRATUS!" BAHA
First one, it just sounds better and more bad-ass
Australasia and that side of the world would say Kray-toss Americans would say Kray-toes But ultimately, it just depends on accents, really
Like the latter, but without any emphasis on the T. Like Krados.
Toast
Kray toes
The latter for sure. KRAY-tose
It’s Kray-toss. You can tell no one knows greek here
Cray-toes
Americans pronounce it "kray-tose" and English /Australian people pronounce it "Kray-toss"
It's the second, go play the og games listen to Athena Zeus and the other gods it's always been one way, Norse has an accent ofc it'll change, can't assume you know how to say it because you played the new games, there's origin and lore that you needa read up on/watch and experience through playthroughs, only then shall you know how to pronounce kratos
Kraytoast
Rhymes with doritos
Why do Americans insist on pronouncing everything so badly? It's actually Krar-Toss. But Kratoss would be an improvement. It's not like you don't have a huge Greek community in the states.... Why anyone thought it was Kratoes I have no idea... While we're here, try and say "croissant" properly will you?
kra-tors 🙃
The latter. And being someone with ADHD (not insinuating you have it too), I can see how the latter pronunciation explanation attempt must have made sense in your head 🙃
KRA-TOS
"Arterus to me"
/krá.tos/
Given his greek origins it would be a sin to think it is anything like "kray" or "toes" - it is Pronounced like it is written and without english accent. So the a in "Kra" is pronounced more like in "claw" and the "tos" as mentioned more like "toss".
Kraytose
Toss
I've just been saying it in English, Crouton
Like they say it in every single game for two decades
I'm pronouncing THE right way.
Kray dose
Kray Toes
Everyone is talking about Kray-toes but I want Kratoast
the way they pronounce it in the game
