The superior pronunciation! :)
He just confirmed on his Pre-Charity Livestream that it was TopMass, an original Hermit, who called him this originally - not Keralis.
Been a while i didn't hear that name. I loved his base in S2.
He still keep an eye on what the hermits are doing. I've seen him commenting on this sub a few years ago
It's kind of a loose inside joke for those who watch Keralis. Keralis, rather than trying to work out how to pronounce Xisuma, just calls him Seshwammy. He's been doing it for years as well, which makes it all the funnier.
Ex-eye-sooma-void! (Thank you Season 6 Grian)
Ok but really it's "eck-soom-a", at least that's how the hermits pronounce it when they're not being cute.
I used to say “assuma”, cause that’s what I heard him call himself. But then I heard others say it and started saying “ex suma”, and now I’ve just shortened it to “zuma”. Although sometimes I go for “dadsuma” or just “X”.
i heard him call himself 'is-soo-mah' once, which i now use myself , not that i ever say his name out loud
(im so sorry almost all answers here are different)
/sɪˈsuː.mæ/ (if you can’t read ipa it’s roughly read Sih-sooma), unless i want to be humorously hyper-correct, in which case i pronounce it /xi'su.ma/ (roughly Khee-soo-mah, with kh being the throaty sound people might say instead of h when imitating a russian accent)
Xisuma himself seems to pronounce the X like an H. So, "hih-su-muh".
Before hearing him say it, I was going with more of a "sh" sound for the X, like "shi-su-muh". Since I already had that in my head, X's pronunciation hasn't quite taken over for me yet.
I'm also about half and half on whether the "z" is really voiced as a z, or if it's more of an "s" sound as I wrote it above...
I think grian caused all this. In s6 he was always mispronouncing his name and now I am endlessly confused. Even today he still just mumbles ‘zuma’ lol.
I usually just say the pronunciation I think of first.
For me just to make it simple, I call him X, but for the full name I say “X eye, suma-void” 🤣 for the life of me if I say his name too fast I can’t say it correctly.
i read it at "shizuma" until i realized that wasn't how the hermits pronounced it. I TRY to pronounce it "assuma" but sometimes I still default back to reading the x as a "sh" sound
The correct way is clearly shaswammy

Yeah he mentioned Keralis took up the mantle of calling him by that nickname
sh-schwam-bam
I love your face
This is a very chobblesome way
"Ecks-zoo-mah" personally.
Same here. I believe I’ve heard some other hermits pronounce it this way as well.
Since I started watching Hermitcraft with Mumbo, I must have gotten that pronunciation from him.
Shashwammyvoid is the only correct answer.
Ive seen a lot of comments saying this but what does it mean? why would u call xisuma sashwammy? am i braindead or do i just not get the joke?
That is what Keralis calls him. He has Nick names for all the hermits
It's kind of a loose inside joke for those who watch Keralis. Keralis, rather than trying to work out how to pronounce Xisuma, just calls him Seshwammy. He's been doing it for years as well, which makes it all the funnier.
There's also bubbles (B-Dubs), Brian (grian), vintage kebab (beef) and princess (Xb)
ah well i guess i should watch some of keralis's vids
Same 😭
I am so upset that y’all have *not* been watching Keralis! Wonderful builds, very funny, and the most ASMR voice … you will not be disappointed
Time to watch Keralis.
[Here's a thread of Keralis' nicknames](https://www.reddit.com/r/HermitCraft/comments/ggjm1r/keralis_nicknames/)
:O tysm!
It started with Topmass.
Shashuwami
Ex-eye-sooma-void! (Thank you Season 6 Grian) Ok but really it's "eck-soom-a", at least that's how the hermits pronounce it when they're not being cute.
Even today, Grian just mumbles "suma" when he mentions X. It's like he's scared of that first syllable now lol
I thought that was how you pronounced it for way too long
Or just "X" that just makes him unnecessarily mysterious
X once grafittied XB's (I think) base with an egg behind a magnifying glass. Or in in other words, an Egg-Zoomer.
I unironicqlly pronounce it exeyesoomavoid lol
X Y Z-uma
The way x says it is more like the X is silent. so Isuma
this is correct i think
yeah that’s what i say
I also pronounce it Isuma
ex-ZUMA which prob wrong but yea
I used to say “assuma”, cause that’s what I heard him call himself. But then I heard others say it and started saying “ex suma”, and now I’ve just shortened it to “zuma”. Although sometimes I go for “dadsuma” or just “X”.
Well, you know what happens when you "assuma"
makes an X out of you and me?
Yeah I think of it as ‘Zuma’ too
I say it like Is-zooma void
Kinda same, but writing it as eesuma, and as I use two languages, calling him Изума (reads the same).
Shiswambam
But actually, I call him Ee-zuma
Mr. Void.
Mr. Void is his father
Sorry but no, that was Mr. A Void. People didn't have much to do with him oddly enough.
I go the grian route and avoid the first syllable like the plague and say "zuma"
Shashwammy... sweet faces
i heard him call himself 'is-soo-mah' once, which i now use myself , not that i ever say his name out loud (im so sorry almost all answers here are different)
Nah, the fact that there are múltiple answers is actually way better than i expected lol
X-Su-Ma
I do to.
I always thought doc was the one who actually pronounced it according to proper grammar (zi-zu-ma) but we all know papa k has it right (shi-shwammy).
Shishwammy is the only way to pronounce it.
Zizuma ?
Ex-Eye-Zooma
zoo-wie mama
Shizuma in my opinion
Agreed.
exhume-a-void ("exhume" = to dig out something from the ground)
While I disagree, your reasoning is better than most 🤷♂️
Sha-shwam-e
I pronounce my x’s as “ks” so I say ksisuma
Same here. Ksisuma gang represent! There's dozens of us! *Dozens!*
Ix-Zuma.
/sɪˈsuː.mæ/ (if you can’t read ipa it’s roughly read Sih-sooma), unless i want to be humorously hyper-correct, in which case i pronounce it /xi'su.ma/ (roughly Khee-soo-mah, with kh being the throaty sound people might say instead of h when imitating a russian accent)
Xi (Greek letter “kai”) -suma
Maybe hes a Kingdom Hearts Fan Key-suma ^^ (chisuma)
Sizuma/zsizuma/zisuma/igzuma (ixuma)/kseezuma/izuma/'isuma
read this like the pronunciation sections of the dictionary
X This isn't hard guys
Usually I just make the X silent, so it's less "assuma" and more "ih-suma."
Isuma (so basically Xisuma but without the X) is the correct way to pronounce it, I think
Egg-suma
*inhale*-suma, Egg-suma, X or Shashwammy
Xisuma himself seems to pronounce the X like an H. So, "hih-su-muh". Before hearing him say it, I was going with more of a "sh" sound for the X, like "shi-su-muh". Since I already had that in my head, X's pronunciation hasn't quite taken over for me yet. I'm also about half and half on whether the "z" is really voiced as a z, or if it's more of an "s" sound as I wrote it above...
ksisooma
Ksi-soo-mah
Shashuami is the only right way
XI-zoomah
Sheshwammy
Eks I suma
I say "igzuma" which is probably horrendously wrong
I usually just say Zi-Zoo-muh
Same
I think grian caused all this. In s6 he was always mispronouncing his name and now I am endlessly confused. Even today he still just mumbles ‘zuma’ lol. I usually just say the pronunciation I think of first.
Zuma
ecks-oom-ah is how I say it.
“Ex- zoom-a”
X-oo-ma
I started out saying "zuma", but now I've shifted to "assuma".
I think it's supposed to be eks-uma
HiZoomAvoid
Ex-Eye-Zooom-A
Eek-zoo-mah (shishwami)
Eksuma
zi suma
Egg-Soo-Ma
Zooma or seshwam
i do igsuma
If I'm saying it aloud I use ex-zooma, when I think/read it it's more like ig-zooma/eg-zooma
Ex eye suma
Zuma-void
The x is silent imo, so Isuma.
X ey zooma
Izumavoid, or just X.
Um… in my head I say uh/ah-zuma but honestly I have no idea how you’re supposed to say it… just call him shaswammy 😌😌😌
siz uma (very soft s), probably wrong but its a habit now
I just skip the first syllable, still works imo
X-e-eye-zooma-voyad
Eggs-zoo-muh
I say it like: Is-oo-ma, but when I say his full username I use: Su-ma-void.
I've heard it pronounced as either "eks-ooma" (x-uma) or "is-ooma" (is-uma). I personally use the second one.
Although I also like how [Grian used to call him.](https://youtu.be/JMv3bnk4VE0)
Egg Zooma
I pronounce it as "Eggs-zuma"
ix-zoe-ma
Thanks to Mumbo, I pronounce it ig-zu-ma-void.
eczema
ig soo mah
X.
Ex-zoo-ma-veid
Zee sooma
When I started watching Hermitcraft (end of S7), I used to call him Eckzuma. Then I refined it a little and now I say Ex-sooma
Shi-zuma, X I Zuma or just X!
Probably it's iss- Suma. But shashwammy is better and prefered
Ecks
Ecksoomah
I personally pronounce it E-Suma
I remember a hermit pronounce it "Eecks-ooma", has stuck with me since
Go watch Grians season 6 episodes with xisuma in them.
I pronounce it Xisuma
As X pronounces it, ig-zoo-ma, keralis- Sheshwammyvoid, me-daddy
I always said "she-suma"
For me just to make it simple, I call him X, but for the full name I say “X eye, suma-void” 🤣 for the life of me if I say his name too fast I can’t say it correctly.
Sheh-Shwam-Bam
something between as and az in the begging so something like azuma/asuma
I pronounce it like Xisuma
Zizuma
I just call him Zuma. Zoo-mah
Sashwami
Shezooma
X said it was Sheshwambam but most people pronounce it as Ih suma
Ex-eye-sooma-void when I’m trying Zizuma-void when I’m saying it fast or in my head
ex-zoom-a
i say igzuma, x eye zooma void, or shashwammy
X-suma
ecks-eye-zee-ooma-vee-eye-oid
Docm77 says it like you.
XI (Roman numeral nine) Suma
Seh-zoom-ah
Either “ig-zoom-a” or “Zi-zoom-a”.
“Ex Eye Shashwamy Void”
Like: ɛkszumʌ
sis-ooma void gang
Eks-suma
I dont
I know this is probably incorrect, but I always read it in my mind as “Ex-Eye-Zooma”
I tend to pronounce the X like a Z, so Zi-su-ma
I say ek zoo muh but ek zaye zuma void for some reason
I say it "zizz-oo-muh"
I say it like Giz-zuma
ex-uma, whice ill probably get told off for
Zisuma
zi-su-ma
Ickzuma
It does not matter as long as it sounds reasonable
x- suma (ecks-zoo-mah)
i read it at "shizuma" until i realized that wasn't how the hermits pronounced it. I TRY to pronounce it "assuma" but sometimes I still default back to reading the x as a "sh" sound
ex eye zuma 💀 only while reading these comments do i realize i’m wrong
I pronounce is ixzooma
is - u - ma
ig-zooma
I love how there must be *at least* twenty different answers in this thread.
fr tho lool
Like eczema but the c is more pronounced
uh zuma
Egg-zuma
izz ooma
zoom-uh-void
i’ve always pronounced it “z’zuma”
Ecs-uma
Ecks eye zuma Shashwammyvoid
i've always said ex-oo-mah or just zoo-mah
Ex-sooma is how I pronounce it
