What about stress/accentuation? Is there anyone who pronounce it with the accent on the first syllable?

Since it is in the English language, that would be a right thing to do.
But since it isn't my native one, I make a stress on the second syllable. More convenient to me in terms of "energy saving".
However sometimes I pronounce it like two separate words: "me-ce" ("e" like in "America", "c" like in "celebrity")

For me it was me-se like "me" from "Mess" and "Se" "send".
Now its "Meee"-"ssssss"

That's how I say it, but you have a much better explanation.

If anyone ever organizes any away-from-the-keyboard meeting of some Minetest people somewhere, talking about mese is sure going to be very odd. It was never meant to become anything aside from a joke between a bunch of Finnish programmers. 8)

^ That is relatively close to how it's originally said in Finnish. Me being Finnish, that's how I say it.

And there we have it. The semi-official pronunciation of mese.

I was hoping you would join in and tell us.
