annie moo

I say jap-uh-nees an-uh-mey-shuhn.

On the one hand, I'm enough of a pretentious snob that I want to pronounce anime the "correct" Japanese way, but on the other hand, I think a-ni-me sounds stupid. Plus, saying "Japanese animation" lets me suppress my power levels a little since I'm like "I enjoy animation that HAPPENS to be from Japan."

>Implying I say anime instead of just calling it tv shows

I say "anime" if I'm speaking English and I say アニメ when I'm speaking Japanese.
To do anything else would be fucking stupid.

Chah-neeze Kar-toonz

Japanimation. What now fags?

its anime, as in a shortend version of animation. therefore its supposed to be said in the same way any latinbased language would say it. The japanese have it wrong.

>>49161629

Thats how we do it

>>49161742
You do know how much a hard-on jappos have for shortening and combining shortened engrish right?

>>49161632

>>49161632
>>49161742
Good thing you specified which pronunciation you're referring to.

>>49161781
yes, yet they never keep the pronounciation right, wonder why.

>>49161794
I shouldn't need to.

nipponimation

>>49161632
This, absolutely this.

>>49161794
I cant read pronounciation symbolage.

>>49161827

>Japanese words spelled out in Roman alphabet
>Not pronouncing it as latin
quare?

>>49161805
An inability to have words end in consonants and a lack of a hard R?

>>49161786
French isnt latin-based?

>>49161853
babalu, that too.

>>49161843
You seriously can't figure it out from the latter half of the sentence?

ænəme

annimay

>>49161838
The straight lines over the vowels = "a" as in "ape"

The curved lines over the vowels = "a" as in "apple"

I say "ani" the same as animation and "me" I say with the sounding like ea, like earth

itt: fags who can't pronounce "animation"

I say it like it's Anny May's name.

Anna May is the only right way to pronounce it

>>49162057
how do you pronounce animation? ah-nee-meh-shun?

>>49161981
animuh?

I just say girls cartoons.

It's funny how people with English as native language have problemd with Japanese.
A-NEE-MEH

you fagets.

"Just take the cake, Anna May."

It's actually not just a shortening of the word animation, but it's also a combination with the words Anima and Animus.

>>49162167
but its not a japanese word.

>>49162174
DEEP

germanfag here:
a-ni-mé (short meh)

>>49162072

I just call it animu and mango.

I say screw it and just refer to all animation as cartoons and only use anime when I need to distinguish between the two

>анимэ in russian sounds exactly as アニメ, so I don't have to use workaround pronunciation explanations like english speakers do

How do you say animation?
Now just say anima-STOP.

This

i say ah-na-may, im pretty normalfag

>>49162206
Alright, here.
>I say "anime" if I'm speaking English and I say アニメ when I'm speaking Japanese.
The way the post is phrased suggests that the pronunciation implied by "I say アニメ when I'm speaking Japanese" is different from the pronunciation implied by "I say 'anime' if I'm speaking English."
The pronunciation implied by "I say アニメ when I'm speaking Japanese" is obviously "ahh-nee-meh," the way the Japanese say it. It logically follows, then, that the pronunciation implied by "I say 'anime' if I'm speaking English" is "a-nih-may."
This is what's called "basic reading comprehension."

Saying AHKNEEMAY in an American accent sounds like I'm choking on dicks, so I just say annahmay,

its "cartoon" you faggots.

>>49162174
The word "Anime" is pronounced with a short "a" like, like "Ah", not because of the Japanese pronunciation, not because it's not only a shortened version of the term Animation, but it's a combination word with the Jungian terms "Anima" and "Animus", terms used to describe the male and female personality souls, suggested that "anime" is animated from the soul, instead of just a normal animation.

>>49161742
It's pronounced "BEARLEEN," not Burrlin.

Fucking stupid Americans saying Japanese people can't pronounce words.

>>49162456
>The word "Anime" is pronounced with a short "a" like, like "Ah", because of the Japanese pronunciation, which has NO OTHER SIMILAR SOUND

>>49162456
>Animated from the soul
>Farmed out to cheaper workers in other asian countries
Yep.

I say "cartoons" because it is what it is. Jist saiyan.
"Annie-may" if I'm feeling a little saucy.
"Ah-nee-mei" if I feel like being a douche and correct other animefags on their pronunciation.

Only reason to use anime is to be more specific about where the CARTOON is from.

animé

>>49162642
>"Ah-nee-mei" if I feel like being a douche and correct other animefags on their pronunciation.
There is no I at the end, else it would be animei smart one. Stop letting your e's drift off into ei's. A common mistake. Naruto is not Narutou.

ya'll dumb. ya'll watchin' "kiddie shows"

>>49162750
"e" is one syllable whilst "ei" is two, right?

>>49162817
Nope. Two vowels next to each other doesn't necessarily mean two separate syllables.

Japanese vowel sounds never fucking change.
a - ah
i - eeeee
u - oooooooo
e - eh
o - oh

SO IN JAPANESE, ITS PRONOUNCED "AH - NEEEEE - MEH." DO I GIVE A SHIT IF THAT'S HOW YOU PRONOUNCE IT? NO. IN ENGLISH, IT SHOULD BE PRONOUNCED LIKE "AN-EEEE-MAY" BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE SHORTEN THE WORD ANIMATION. SAY IT ANY OTHER WAY AND YOU'RE EITHER A FAGGOT, OR A STUCK UP DOUCHE BAG WHO WANTS TO FUCKING BE CORRECT ALL THE TIME AND FEEL SUPERIOR FOR PRONOUNCING IT THE JAPANESE WAY.

SAY IT IN ENGLISH WHEN YOU SPEAK ENGLISH, AND SAY IT IN JAPANESE WHEN YOU SPEAK JAPANESE. THOUGH HONESTLY, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU DO.

>>49162987
You're alright, tripfag.
You're alright.

>>49162817
>yep. also, many if not most 'ei' words use the i to extend the e sound, so sensei is actually said sensee
'I' adjectives always have the i pronounced at the end, and don't lengthen the e sound, example kirei is not said kiree, but kirei
>>49162893 not two syllables but dont pretend there's not a difference between toki o and toukyou, toukyou will take you longer to say.
