Jasoco Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 My sonic says See-ga when it boots, Anyways, a friend of mine imports toys and has contacts in Taito who pronounce it as Tie-Toe If that's true, maybe it's a regional thing. All my talking logos say "SAY-GAH". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raijin Z Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 The Japanese "e" sound is more like "eh" with some uses as "ay", but when you want a strong AAAAYYYY sound (thank you, Mister Fonzerelli), you'd spell it "ei". So anyway, "seh-guh" and "say-guh" are correct. Tengen, I THINK, is with a soft G (ten-jen). Nope. If it were meant to be pronounced with a soft G sound, the same sound that starts the word GIRAFFE (you'd never see THAT on The Letter People.... Antidisestablishmentarianism!), it would have been translated with a J. Tengen is always "ten gen" and never, ever "ten jen". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen Tengen in Katakana (or Hiragana or Kanji, for that matter). I was under the impression it was a US operation, and thus followed English pronunciation rules. Even seeing you type out "gen" makes me THINK of a soft-G sound when I know you mean a hard G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artlover Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 It's spelled Taito, but it's pronounced:Throatwarbler Mangrove You're a silly man. True, but I stole that one from Monty Python. (The TV show (Flying Circus), not the movies.) :-) Ooo, ooo! Mouse xylophone! They never show that one much thou. (Thud, Squeek. Thud thud, Squeek squeek!) Hahaha. And, I pronounce it Tah-I-toe.

Albert Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I've always pronounced Taito as "TAY-TOE", although I know that is wrong. Generally that is how I have heard other people pronounce it also. And XYPE is "ZYPE". ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
