Do you ever feel like hanging someone who accentuates the "AYE" in Pokemon?

>PoKAAAAyeeeeEmon
>P--AYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEmon
>PoKAYEEMON

I understand that the correct way of pronouncing Pokemon is "Po-Kay-Mon", but holy fucking god...

It's actually supposed to be pronounced "Po-KEY-mon" according to the way the Japs say it.

It's not exactly the same. It's hard to explain as there is no English equivalent for that sound ("kay" is indeed the closest.) But the Japanese "ke" is different from the English "kay". French has both sounds (qué and quaie), so it is a very noticeable difference to us.

Try to say "Pocket" and "Monsters".
Now, the word is Pokemon, so it must be [Pocke]t [Mon]sters. That's the correct pronuntiation.

not "key" implying a long E, but rather ke, a short e like in pocket.

POcKEt MONsters
POKEMON

they put the accent on the E everywhere else to make sure people say it correctly

Pokeymans and pokeymon are only acceptable if you're over 30 years old

Wut? English definitely has the え sound. It's just an ordinary short "e."

poh - keh - mon

That's the correct pronunciation. If you want to say it *exactly* as the Japanese would, you have to nasalise the terminal syllabic n. The ん is normally pronounced as an ordinary English "n" but at the end of a word it becomes a nasal consonant.
