>NintendoNin-ten-doe>SegaSay-gah>Shin Megami TenseiShin Meh-gah-may Ten-sai (probably the most incorrect of any of these)
AI training thread
I pronounce it like a German word which tends to be close enough to the original Japanese.

How the fuck do you question how to pronounce "Sega" when they literally say it for you?
>>12719364
>>12719393bongs unironically say see-guh.
>>12719403
>>12719385NOT RETRO
>>12719403That's not true. It's say-guh
>>12719341>common retro words like (...) Shin Megami Tensei?First of all SMT is not common, second I'd say SMT or Persona.
Say-Gay
Like Segafredo with a silent fredo
>>12719341>Shin Megami TenseiShin like ShitMegami like Me Gay MeTensei like Ten Sei (pronounced like Saw)

Sega is pronounced "suh-gay".>b-b-but it's a Japanese word and they say "say-gah"!Wrong. It was originally an American company and Sega is short for "service games"
>>12719341I just say everything normal. I know Japanese but I also still say "kuh-rotty" and "main-guh" when I'm talking to english speakers, or I just say "comics".
>>12719393The places that pronounce it see-gah were introduced to Sega with the Master System and so had already decided on their pronunciation before that was a thing.
>>12719341>NintendoNeen-tehn-doh WAHOO>segasea-gah>SMTShpim-megoomi-denzei
>>12719403>Say-Gar
>>12719773carry okiealso nobody but retards ever said main-guhyou're like the people who say nuroodoh and pokiemon
>>12719341old ass niggas still can't help but call Ryus "Rai-you"
>>12719958Yeah I say carry okie too. Just like how when I talk to Japanese people about a "collection" I say korekushon instead of just saying it in English like a dipshit. This is how loanwords work and anybody who thinks they're pronouncing even 30% of the words in the giant fucking hodgepodge of a language we call English in any way even remotely faithful to their source language is a dumbass.
>>12719970the difference is the Japanese don't have the phonology to pronounce it correctlywe do
>>12719973>we doenglish literally does not have the phonology to pronounce karaoke correctly.
>>12719973>Actually the language I speak and grew up with can say ANYTHING!Most people think this until they study another language. Again, though, "karaoke" isn't the japanese word カラオケ, it's a loanword. If you're going to try to pronounce everything as it is in its original language, then the "oke" in karaoke is actually from the word "orchestra" so maybe you should say kah-rah-orka.
>>12719982kahttaohkehwhat now fool>>12719998nice try butthead, but there's a massive difference between Japanese's 5 simple vowels also found in English and German 'ue', which sound is not in English
>>12719970>when I talk to Japanese peoplenever happened
>>12719773Normie.
>>12719341the nerd used to have so much rizz
>>12719341>Nintendo"Nin-tend-o">Sega"Seh-guh" in normal conversation and "say-guh" when mimicking the intro>shin chan mendoza"Weeb shit"
>>12720061That was back when he was doing a parody instead of being a parody.
>>12720018>there's a massive differenceYeah and a massive similarity: you can do a good enough imitation of the sounds to fool yourself but a native would have no idea what you're saying.
>>12719341Kill yourself e celeb poster
>always read Chao as "Kay-Oh">finally played the Adventure games for myself>Chow
>>12719403lying rat
>>12719962Pronouncing it any other way is being a weeb faggot.

The correct pronunciation for Nintendo is "NIIINTENDO WOOHOO!"
>>12720440Yeah you made the joke before anon
>>12719362You pronounce Nintendo and Sega correctly, but you're wrong about SMT. It's actually 'shin meh-gah-mee ten-say'. You dumb stupid idiot. Some people say sheen but those people are fake and gay.
>>12720739>Say-ga>CorrectIt's Seh-Geh-Ee Short for Service Games, you pronounce it like the first 2 syllabes
>>12720739And what's the phonetic difference between Shin and Sheen? Like an extended e?

Yeah honestly one of the worst things about retro is the fucking Japanese words, too many nintendo, too many konami, too mani fucking taito. How do you even pronounce all that shit? It's the main reason I center my content on Playstation and Xbox, which any normal human being can pronounce
>>12720762Imagine being a generate young child growing up and learning english to the fullest extent, and all these NES sloppa bullshit games flood your intellect with stupid typoes like "This guy are asleep!"WHAT were they THINKING???
>>12719341This guy looks and acts too annoying to watch any of his dumbass videos
Funny because Japanese is one of the languages where you can 100% know how something is pronounced just by reading it and it's always consistent. But kids in the 80s had no way of knowing, and even official commercials would get it wrong, so some of these mispronunciations have been around for 40 years and will never go away.
>>12720773>japanese citizens are autistic because their language required them to walk on eggshells to get the EXACT intonation right
>>12720784intonation isnt real, concept invented by big language.
>>12720824*bwWWWOOORRPP* you got dat dere right
>>12720747Shin rhymes with pin, sheen rhymes with spleen.
>>12720150it's really "Cha-oh"perhaps going for "child"
>>12720172>"Yeah man Honshu is cool and all but for me Kaiyooshoo is where it's at."

>How do you pronounce some common retro words like Nintendo, Sega or Shin Megami Tensei?Correctly because I'm not a monolingual Australian retard. Even Americans can pronounce those words more or less correctly but not dingofucking Aussies for some reason. >>12720739>You pronounce Nintendo and Sega correctlyYou actually believe this lol
>>12720883I always thought it was "Cha-oh" because they were related to chaos in some way. I forget how. Haven't played Adventure in years but I do remember that the transformable water demon was tied to those cute little creatures from the game so just assumed they have a similar pronunciation.
