Author Topic: I've been pronouncing anime wrong ALL THIS TIME  (Read 2331 times)

.-.

How I thought it was pronounced: ay-nime, and not an-eh-may. I thought it was 2 syllables.
Holy crap
Ah-Ni-May makes sense even iin just English ._.




why do people go loving apestuff over a post? especially when its 1 complete word.

"all_black_people_are_mondays"
"woah man what the forget"
"DUDE ITS JUST ONE COMPLETE WORD, GOD"

I was talking with a friend and accidently said hentai instead of anime ;-;
fawkes..  : do you like anime? 
friend : yeah.
fawkes.. : well what is your favorite anime?
friend : not sure if you'll know it, but I was watching this one hentai channel, and it was great.
fawkes.. : .O.

Oh sorry, I was born with a perfect sense in how to spell and pronounce every word.
Except I don't feel like saying "comfortable" correctly. It just sounds weird.

I don't know why but I love it when people pronounce things slightly wrong.
I know a girl who always says "chimly" instead of "chimney" and it's hilarious.

Holy crap
Ah-Ni-May makes sense even iin just English ._.

Actually no it makes more sense in english to do it the wrong way.  Generally when you get the pattern vowel-consonant-"e" as the last three letters of a word, the "e" is silent and the vowel gets a long sound.

Therefore "nime" as in rhyming with dime is more english than "ni-may"
Dividing syllablles like that is a very pacific islander thing to do, you hear it in hawaiian and japanese a ton.

I used to think it was like A-Nihm
