I may have messed up some spelling... I know how to pronounce them anyways...
Here a general pronunciation guide"Japanese is best spoken with no accent at all and in near monotone. Vowels are aways pronounced separately, even if two or more appear together. For example, aoi is pronounced ah-oh-ee; Osafune: ohh-sah-foo-neh: Masamune: mah-sah-moo-neh; Ecthu: Et-choo. Long values should be carefully given their full value. for example Omi: oh-oh-me. There are five vowels in the Japanese language, pronounced as follows:
a as in father
i unique
u rude (but without rounding the lips)
e met, bed
o note
There are nineteen consonants in the Japanese language:
k, s, sh, t, ch, ts, n, h, f, m, y, r, d, b, p, g (like ng in sing), z (like ds in loads), j (like dg in judge)"
QUOTED FROM: The Samurai Sword a Handbook By: John M. Yumoto. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53...
that is a very good book for anyone interested in the Katana (like me lol) and chapter 6 teaches a lot about the Japanese language.
I have a suggestion for the group, we should have an intro thread where we can tell about ourselves what we know in Japanese ect that way when people ask questions we know who to direct them to and so we all know a little about each other.
That sounds like a good idea. okay now lesson check!
1) Who can tell me how to say hello, WITHOUT LOOKING!
2)How would you, How are you?
I wont ask spelling, lesson three or two will be alphabet.
1)kunichiua (I can't remember the spelling2) gen kide su (or something similar)
Cody:1), ko-ni-chi-WA
2) very close! Gen-kide-su-ka you just forgot the Ka, but good!
Right thanks :) I'm bad at spelling lol.
lol English spelling is weird in a lot of words... actually a lot of the spelling makes no sense for example phone...
th is really hard if you are missing your front teeth lol... that is like the only thing I remember from like 2nd or 3rd grade whenever it was lol.
yes but t and h are said differnt. Like tah and Ha. Not th.
I hate the "thhh" sound. I use "ph" instead XD
So you would say it like this:Phe stage was so cold phe water froze?
Basically like saying Pretty much ;)I pray that you knOw what ttyl means XD
And purty us not a real word, its text talk.
