Yeoman Rand Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hello everyone. This is my first post, even though I’ve been watching Home and Away for years (on 5 Star). Anyway a friend and I talk about it a lot and are wondering why some weeks the characters say Ari and others Arti? Does anyone know? Ari/Arti has called himself Ari when leaving notes for his family and I heard him recently on the phone saying “it’s Arti”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little bean Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Welcome! I don’t think anyone has ever called him Arti. I think his name is pronounced with a rolled “r” in his native Kiwi tongue. Some characters just say it straight without the roll and others use it. I think the rolled version may be what sounds like a “t” to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeandawayroxsomuch. Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Ari, short for Ariki according to the caption in this photo that Rob Kipa-Williams posted when Ari first appeared https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XfTBbJLJ-/?hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
