So it has standard Japanese pronunciation... (ああ、そうですか。) And here I was pronouncing it with an "æ" vowel (much as I pronounce the name of the web browser Camino).
It has a nice rhythm that way: Táteru Níno. I guess I have a soft spot for the dactyl + trochee structure.
I got it 90% close. And I'd argue the other 10% as possible differences in accent, not actual pronunciation.
ReplyDeleteAh, nino sounds like this.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess I'm going to have to stop pronouncing it like this.

pretty close, I've been putting more emphasis on ru
ReplyDeleteNot close in the slightest. Though I would say that the rhythm of "TATT-er-roo NEE-no" comes naturally in English. (Comes naturally to me anyway.)
ReplyDeleteSo I guess "Tater Roo" is right out, huh? And, yeah, I was in the "KNEE-nyo" crowd, too. I can tell, SL voice is going to be painful for some of us.
ReplyDeletejust about exactly as I pronounce it, perhaps me being brasilian has somthing to do with it...

I was fairly close. I guess all that anime paid off <.<
