>>26992426
Chir-no. It's a hard 'C', like the C in Caesar

>>26993429
>Hard C like Caesar
isn't that sea-zir?

>>26993428
>It's actually Chiruno / Chillno
Cirno does not spell out to be that, that's just bad romanization

>>26993544
Soft C in Caesar is the modern pronunciation, the old latin pronunciation is a hard C. The German and Russian name for King, "Kaiser" and "Tsar" are derived from the original latin pronunciaton.

I can't recall when I heard the "h" added to the pronunciation of Cirno, but I'm reasonably sure it's certain cause I got corrected so often

>>26992426
SIR-NOH

>>26992426
チルノ
first is 'chi/ci/ti', second is 'ru/lu', third is 'no', depending on how you like romanizing Japanese.

>>26999403
I have better pronunciation than you.

>>26992426
just use the sir-no pronunciation if you're not a faggot

>>26992426

See-Air-No

>>26992426
Sir, no.

It's not Chiruno, that's just Japanese phonology being crap.

>>27028557
This

A lot of the in game english spellings of character names are straight up stupid too or incorrect, so the english fanbase establishing retarded pronunciations of character names is bound to happen

I say Two-wee for Tewi and I don't give a fuck (It's supposed to be Tei/Tay)
Also Two Who instead of Toe Hoe
I prefer it this way because I used them for years before I found out the proper pronunciation

>>26992426

>when the 2hu meme is correct
damn, and I've been saying Teh-vi, assuming it'd have a german pronunciation
this romanization is awful

>>27036863
>Teh-vi, assuming it'd have a german pronunciation
I don't know why you'd think this, but I find it hilarious. Never heard that one before

>this romanization is awful
Touhou is full of this. Most of it is due to ZUN not knowing english, but some of it is also due to translators being dumb and also not knowing english

Like Lumia/Rumia

I also say stupid things like Cane/Cain for Keine (Keh-IE-neh) and Sanny for Sanae (Sahn-ah-eh)

i do it like
SEE-RN-o

>>27037808
most times when a non english speaker uses "W" it's usually "V"

example the Volks Wagon is actually Folks Vagon
or a more /a/ approach https://youtu.be/8LQacPpYjLU?t=462 it should be time stamped for 7:42
but the entire thing is neat
Sauce is 'no game no life'

Two who and toe hoe are both wrong.

>>27039464
how is Touhou pronounced? and I swear if you post 東方 as that's not giving us the pronunciation, you're just typing out Touhou in moon runes

>>27039537
ipa:toohoo. The o is pronounced something like the o in story. Two o's means you hold the sound for twice as long.

>>27039537
In Japanese, the u in ou is just pronounced as a second o, just like the i in ei is pronounced as a second e.

>>27039537
とうほう

>>27039537
The Japanese think of two vowels next two each other like two separate syllables.

>>27039537

toe
u
hoe
u

it's four syllables and you drag it

Press the 'listen' button.

>>26992426
In Japanese it's chee-roo-no which to fit with "Cirno" would have to be like cheer-no, but that sounds terrible. Personally I like chur-no or sir-no.

>>27039537
two hue 2hu

Chill-nine

>>27044157
It's four morae but only two syllables.

ciryes

>>26992426
1. In Japanese it's チルノ (Chiruno)
2. ZUN sucks at romanization for English things at times so "Cirno" is meaningless
3. All fairies have 2 English names
4. So チルノ probably comes from チルド (Chirudo/Chilled) and スノー (Sunoo/Snow)
5. Therefore, チルノ is pronounced "Chillno" in English

>>27066631
It seems unusual to write someone's name in katakana. Is is because "chill" is a non-Japanese word? Are there any other examples of writing personal names in katakana?

>>26992426
You pronounce it Cirno, you dumb anglo.

>>27082789
you've been very helpful

>>26992426
sir no

>>27082766
For non-Japanese-language names that is pretty much the norm, yes, though sometimes Chinese names are written in kanji (especially those of historic figures). It's not uncommon for the katakana spelling of the names of fictional characters to be the only official spelling.
That said, sometimes Japanese people do spell their (usually given) name in katakana, be it because it's made up of complex kanji or just to have it stand out somehow.

>>27108701
I see, so my own name would be アノニマス because it's non-Japanese.

Çír̃ñó

Why are we still stuck with using Cirno and Rumia when the english fanbase so quickly ditched Etarnity and the Wily Beast goasts?

>>26994057
this guy gets it
>>27039537
it's pronounce 2hu, like "two-who"

>>27120351
Because those are obvious typos of English words

Chi-ru-no is the only correct one

the other touhou name pronunciation debate is if ZUN is pronounced ZOON (rhymes with "tune") or ZUHN (rhymes with "sun")

>>27124973
didn't even think of that one, always said Zoon

>>27083221
Your welcome, faggot.

>>27123680
Chillno

I know how to pronounce Keine but I keep pronouncing Kane out of sheer habit.

What are some names you find difficult to pronounce. I cant even dare to try Joutouguu or Shinmyoumaru

>>27130424
>jo-toh-goo
>shin--me-oh--mah-roo

is how'd I go about it

>>27124973
According to the pronunciation clarification on Japanese Wikipedia, it's pronounced ずん (makes sense given it's probably based on his real given name Jun'ya), which means the former is closer than the latter. The U is the "close back compressed vowel"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_back_rounded_vowel#Close_back_compressed_vowel

>>27131135
There's no vowel component to the Y. It's used entirely as a consonant, like in "yahoo" or "yakety sax".
So "sheen-myoh-mah-rue"

>>27120351
Because the first two are memehus with large fanbases

Sirkku :DDDD

>>27039537
Japanese is phonetically consistent, just read it like a Japanese would and not 2hu like an obese burger.
