Topic	I pronounce Ryu "Rye-you", is that weird?
ssjevot 05/19/19 3:38:46 AM #58:	Wetterdew posted... ssjevot posted... Wetterdew posted... The "ee" sound is meant to be spoken quickly. It isn't spoken at all. Just like you don't make an ee sound when you say kyu (q). You do, you just say it quickly. No, you don't. I realize a lot of people pronounce it ree-yu, and that is fine for reasons I said earlier. The sound isn't in English so it's hard and whatever you say is fine if people can understand it. But there is no ee sound at all when you say it in Japanese. It's a combination of r and yu. The closest example in English is Kyu (q), but replace the k with r. Also for those curious, riyu (ree-yu) is a Japanese word meaning reason that is very common. and don't sound similar. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:922085976] in I pronounc...
