ssjevot 05/19/19 6:38:00 AM #106:	Guy who goes a haughty self aggrandizing rant claims to be Japanese. Cool story bro. Vast majority can't say it correctly without practice. Saying you are Japanese now would only hurt your argument since you would never need to learn Japanese pronunciation. I do like that I can write a few sentences and get a massive rant in return. So please continue. Show us your superior Nippon ways. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:922088197] in I pronounc...

EffectAndCause 05/19/19 7:53:24 AM #109:	Bass2 posted... EffectAndCause posted... Ive always said Rye-you the same way I say Ryan and not ree-yin. Ryan is an English word. Ryu is a Japanese word. I heard someone on YouTube pronounce francais as fran-cays with a hard C which would be correct if it were an English word but its not so we have to say it the way the french do. Why are Americans and/or English speakers the only ones that arent allowed to have an accent? People from every other country that learn English as a 2nd language pronounce many things wrong even when theyre totally fluent because that accent is hardwired into their tongue and its okay. --- https://imgur.com/wMshiEN <cite>EffectAndCause posted [p:922089290] in I pronounc...

Wetterdew 05/19/19 2:07:29 PM #111:	ssjevot posted... 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. So the ee sound is still there...it's just spoken quickly like a flick of the tongue. I'm not trying to type the exact phoneme here, I know it's not quite an "eee" sound but it's close enough for people to get the point. I would say that Q has an eee sound in it btw, the way I pronounce it. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. <cite>Wetterdew posted [p:922098603] in I pronounc...
