So... the guy who discovered it calls it Ji-ga, Wikipedia calls it Jy-ga. And of course people who know it from video games call it Giga. How has this happened lol? Then theres Diplodocus. Wikipedia lists 3 different pronunciations, one being Die-plodocus. Which I dont think Ive ever heard anyone say.
-
Since the first part of the name is derived from the word Giant / Gigantic, and at no point have I ever heard anyone pronounce this word with a Giga or Jiga attached the beginning it should be pronounced the same way that that is said - Ji-gan-tic, therefore Ji-gan-oto-saurus.
-
You can also pronounce the letter "G"/"g" as a hard consonant rather than a soft consonant, like the more famous, popular, and common way to pronounce "GIF", like the word "gift" (though either way or both ways are correct), but inverted.

Finally someone says it correctly...

Hi folks, you can hear the man who discovered the Giganotosaurus himself pronounce it in this video. https://youtu.be/HCN-durEQIQ?t=291 It is indeed Jigga-no-toe-saurus

I’m sorry but I will always say it like you say Gigantic. The way you’re supposed to say it just sounds so weird to me. Dinosaurs are these awe inspiring and terrifying creatures that seem fictional. Yet 80% of Dinos have the lamest names of all time. I’m too busy laughing at the name and the person saying it with a straight face to be in awe. This giant reptile the size of a building that puts elephants to shame and it’s name sounds like whatever comes out of your mouth when you sneeze while talking.

It is γιγάντια νότια σαύρα / giga-notos-saurus or large southern lizard, giga like in gigawatts, gigabytes etc.. only people with moms called Karen say "jiga"
-
Hmmm Giga-Giant Noto-back/South Saurus-Lizard If all of them are Greek and are to be pronounced like such shouldn't it be "Geega-noto-saurus"? I mean do yall pronounce it as "Jeega-byte" of data?...
-
Gi as in giant, Gigantor, Giganotosaurus. Not gigga-NOT-a-saurus! Which pronunciation sounds better out loud for goodness sake?
-
Its giga-noto-saurus in Jurassic evo database when its read out. I actually like giga-noto Some say it like gigantic, eg. Jy-ganoto-saurus
-
I pronounce it Gygano-tosaurus
-
Giganotosaurus, not jigonautosaurus
-
why not like Gigabyte
-
I like to call it gigan-oto-saurus But that’s just what I call it. The fact below is disturbing Gigachad is pronounced jigg-a-chad (By this logic)
-
This is mostly correct, except it is pronounced with an "H" at the beginning: HIGGA NOT A SAR US. The paleontologist who discovered it is Rodolfo Coria, who is Argentine. G is pronounced H in Spanish. This is a new trend that is developing in naming species with the lead paleontologist's language, but sometimes completely ignored by certain paleontologists.
-
This can't be right. I've always called it Gigan-to-saurus with the Gigan sounding like Gigantic and the first O being silent.
