Post by: deoxy99 on February 26, 2011, 10:19:22 AM: Actually, I found out how Ø is pronounced. It's an "eh" sound, but tongue higher, and mouth rounded.

Japanese u sound = Sound in foot, but more rounded, and sometimes silent.

Post by: deoxy99 on February 28, 2011, 11:14:38 AM: No, that's incorrect. It's pronounced like "eh".

Matty406, Naru523 is not Japanese. Don't listen to him.

Post by: matty406 on February 28, 2011, 11:19:37 AM: Hmm, well it depends how you hear it methinks. I heard Hatsune being pronounced as Hatsunay, but of course it's similar to Hatsuneh, just dragged a bit.

Post by: Naru523 on February 28, 2011, 11:31:02 AM: It depends if you want to pronounce it differently, i.e. Sasuke is pronounced Sasukay or Sasukeh.
