I think both Nue an rance are cute so okay.

English lesson.
new is pronounced njuː
nue is pronounced nuè

>>5237050
Guess he's trying something NU, EH?
Still works.

>Paint
Not that I'm against it, it indeed made me smile.

>>5237050
English lesson: Nue is not an English word so the e is silent because I say so.

>>5237062
Nu/=Nju

NO

>>5237062
Typical Englishfag.
Note how it cannot pronounce non-English words
or even English words.

Slutty Nue seems so much more appealing for some reason.

>>5237088
It's a trap. You cannot comprehend the true nature of Nue.

>>5237028

>>5237088

She has no interesting quirks, have to replace the void with something.

I can't fathom how a zun-art looking nue can be this hot...


people on their way to work, baby what did you expect GONNA BURST INTO FLLAAAAAAAME!

Japanese --- English fandom
Touhou -- toe hoe
Yukari --- You curry
Keine --- Kane
Reimu --- Raymoo
Marisa --- MariSSah
Chiruno --- Kerno
Nue --- New'ay
Nitori --- Nittory
Mokou --- Moe koe

>>5237100
I've seen her portrayed as another straight-man or like a child. Either works.

>>5237113
>New'ay
>ay
This is what Americans actually believe.

STUPID EMO-BITCH!!!!!!
TAKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA!
I FUCK YOU!

>>5237113

Half of those are just plain retarded or got started with a shitty meme.

The other half are either close or just a product of ignorance.

>>5237113
Oh you english... Make all so complicated...

>>5237135
>just plain retarded
>English fandom
What did you expect?

>>5237151
>implying Japanese fandom isn't just as retarded if not moreso

He will end up with a tentacle up his ass...

>>5237134
>ifuckedyourenue.jpg

>>5237113
>Chiruno --- Kerno
No matter what, in my head I always read Cirno as "sir-no."

Because I'm retarded.

>>5237170
That's even better.

>>5237134

Do you have to post this every fucking time Nue comes up? It's getting kinda pathetic.

2Bfuck

DID SOMEONE CALL?

>>5237192

Wow, I've seen that shit more than enough, but that's a lot of fucking times.

>>5237179
That was just from that one horrible English dub of Kero 9 Destiny which is no longer on youtube.

>>5237214
Never even saw that. I guess I'm just shit at keeping grorious Nihongo pronunciation in my head as I read.

Nue's personality is a total dick that becomes defensive or a frightened crybaby when somebody ignores her, points out her logical fallacies, or threatens her. Beating her up turns her into a scared child who can only curl up in a fetal position and beg.

Much like most of 4chan. I don't see why she is more popular.

>>5237113
Japanese --- Me
Touhou - Tow hoe
Yukari - You car WRYYYYY
Keine - Keine (I don't pronounce it right)
Reimu - Ray moo
Cirno - Sir no (Or this one)
Nue - Noo eh
Mokou - Mow koh

And Nitori I can't be bothered changing. I'm fairly confident I pronounce it right, at least.

>>5237028
OP, you card.

>>5237135
>calling the english fandom retarded or ignorant
>conveniently doesn't show the correct way

What's the matter? Afraid of being wrong?

God damn, I just noticed the wings.
That's fucking awesome.

>>5237113

Japanese --- English fandom
Touhou -- tow how
Yukari --- you-car-ee
Keine --- Kane
Reimu --- Raymoo
Marisa --- MariSSah
Chiruno --- .... chi-ru-no
Nue --- new
Nitori --- Nittory
Mokou --- Mo-kow... maybe mo-ku but probably mo-kow


That's how I would pronounce them, anyway.

So is Keine actually supposed to be pronounced "keh-ee-nay" as in ケ イ ネ, or like the German word KEINE?

>>5237337
"Kay-eh-nay." The touhou wikia has pronunciations of all of the character's names, it's the (♫) next to the name in Japanese.

>>5237337
kay-nay

Japanese pronunciation is not hard at all, why do people always ask these sorts of things?
ke-i-ne

>>5237366
Like I'd trust a Jap's pronunciation of a non-Japanese name.

>>5237366
Wait.
What?
FUCK.

OK with out the O
then NE of NEXT

>>5237337
What's so hard about Ke i ne ?
It's just a "Ke" followed by an "i" and a "ne"

The German keine is pronounced kaine with an a (a is a, not ay). Like Ei (egg) sounds like Ai.
example: click on the i (info) right to the "keine" and listen to the flash.

>kay-nay
>nu-way

Why do americunts always have to add a "y" sound at the end?

Fucking stupid faggots.

>>5237384
Keine is a Japanese name. And you can tell the English names by the -su at the end.

Keine rhymes with keen.

>>5237382

some people don't know their hiragana, so it makes extrapolating these pronunciations harder.

I kept saying it "keine" like in German because I like the sound of it. Einmal ist Keinmal.

>>5237414
Because Keine is pronounced with a y at the end in Japanese.

>>5237415
They're all Gensokyoan names. Pay no attention to any mention of Japanese in canon.

>>5237420
Gensokyo was originally part of Japan, and it's culture is still Japanese. It's still part-Japan.

>>5237366
Voicefag here. Note that I haven't done all the characters yet, and my accent still needs quite a bit of work. You should still be able to get the gist of how to say them properly because they're still mostly correct, just saying my pronunciations aren't absolute.

>Because Keine is pronounced with a y at the end in Japanese.

No it isn't. It's "Kay-neh"

>It's "Kay-neh"

Kay-neh / Kei-neh

But definitely not that americanized "Kay-nay" shit.

I prefer Kane. Suits her better than anything with a Y on the end.

Oops. I've been thinking Keine was pronounced like Keen.

>>5237464
>>5237440

THE MARK OF KANE

Sorry, I just had a Command And Conquer flashback.

>>5237113
>>5237179
>>5237289

So what's the right way to say Cirno? "Sir know"?

>>5237486
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_before_E_except_after_C

>>5237327
>Keine --- Kane
I always pronounced it "keen".

>>5237500

CHIL of CHILDREN and NO of NOTE

>>5237500
チルノ (chiruno) is the Japanese pronunciation.
Chirno (in romaji) is the way it's written in 12.3
http://images.wikia.com/touhou/images/a/ab/Pronunciation_Cirno.ogg is >>5237436 's voice.

>>5237500

>Sir Know

HEAR YE
HEAR YE

>>5237523
That sounds retarded. I'll stick with Sir-no.

>>5237464
How about we go to a song which has her name? Convictor Yamaxanadu... hmm... oh, listen, it has three syllables and ends with -nay.

>>5237544
Songs aren't a good source for this shit cause they might exaggerate/mispronounce for rhyme/meter.

>5237544
It ends with "ne", not "nay".
There is no "i"-sound at the end of Keine.

Fuck it, I'm dumping my Nue folder.

>>5237557
All of the other names pronounced in the song seem true to other pronunciations, and they show a willingness to break the meter by including Ran's name in that section.

>>5237560
Since when is "nay" pronounced using an "i" sound?

>>5237531
No, I'm the other pronouncer guy. This guy overwrote the entries that I did terribly or something.

Touhou + Sengoku Rance?
What blasphemy is this?
>>5237113
>Yukari --- You curry
YOU FAIL.

>>5237576
day, pain, whey, rein, etc --> all share eɪ (see IPA chart)

>>5237625
Differs by dialect.

>>5237614
Rance devising his cunning schemes for fucking the Touhous sound good.

>>5237113
Yukari is pronounced "you car ee" not "you curry" and the "moo" in Reimu should be practically silent.

>>5237647
>the "moo" in Reimu
I meant the "oo".
My bad.

>>5237633
No dialects on 4chan.
>This key accommodates standard General American, Received Pronunciation, Canadian English, Australian English, and New Zealand English pronunciations.
>standard
Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English for pronunciation.
Don't defile Japanese names with dialect.

>>5237647
>practically silent
No. It's completely silent.

>>5237647

the 'car' over emphasizes the r as if it were part of the ka syllable.

you-kah-WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

you will never get fucked by Nue's tentacles

>>5237720
Why does that even matter?
It's at least better than making "Yukari" sound like fucking "yukkuri".

>>5237734
They aren't tentacles!

>>5237771

Because then you sound like a typical foreigner trying to speak Japanese. see: Kate from sketchbook full colors.

>>5237851
No; Because THEN, you're saying YUKKURI which is a completely different idea within Touhou fandom.

>>5237851
No; Because THEN, you're saying what sounds to English speakers like YUKKURI which is a completely different idea within Touhou fandom.

>>5237851
Sounding like what you are is a problem?

>>5237028
Post the original.

Not a single David Caruso in this entire thread after an opener like that.

Fuck you, /jp/.

>>5237179
>Because I'm retarded.
I wonder then...
Does Cirno pronounces her own name "Sear no"?

A Rance and Nue picture that isn't a terrible mspaint.

>>5237113
>>5237289
No. Just... no.

Yukari = Yu-ka-ri

Yukari = 紫

>>5238134
What started this?

You can pronounce my name however you like, it won't make a difference when I'm clowning on your ass in your nightmares.

>>5238512
HOSHI-KUN!!!!!

>>5238512

Nue converted to Youkai Buddhism. She's a very nice girl now.

>>5238557
Serving under the unholy Byakuren? Hardly.

>>5238523
Hoshi-kun Shikari!

>>5237028

>>5238670

LOL AMERIFAGS XD DUNNO HOW2PRONOUNCE!

I BET YOU THEY DON'T EVEN PRONOUNCE THE SOUND EFFECTS IN OP'S PICTURE RIGHT!

"PAN, PAN"

LIKE FRYING PAN, LOL! ぱん =/= PAN! xDDD EUROPE FTW! <3

>>5239089
>PAN

I pronounce them all well except Cirno, despite knowing how it's pronounced, I usually say it with the 'th' from thumb.

OP here. What do you think of my MS paint tomfoolery? Did it with a touchpad, so it's a bit QUALITY.

Japanese --- The way I pronounce
Touhou --　とうほう
Yukari --- ゆかり
Keine --- 　けいね
Reimu --- れいむ
Marisa --- マリサ (katakana caus I sometimes do actually pronounce this in an American way because it sounds like a western name...)
Chiruno --- ちるの
Nue --- ぬえ
Nitori --- にとり
Mokou --- もこう

>>5239120
>He pronounces Marisa as Malissa

>>5239120
これはｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

The name Marisa has Western roots. Honestly, you could say Westerners pronounce it better than nips.

Mokou is one of those names like Remilia and Flandre that don't exist outside of Touhou. No one pronounces it truly right except ZUN.

>>5238651
Say that to Byakuren's face and see what happens.

Not much. She's a good girl.

I pronounce "Alice" as "Arisu" because I am a huge faggot.

>>5239161
I'm pretty sure Flandre exists outside of Touhou.

Flandre is a province in France.

>>5239431

Flandre is the French name of Flanders/Vlaanderen in Belgium

>>5239175
Yet another brainwashed peasant! You will find out her true colors once she feeds you to her youkai allies!

"Remilia" is also quite obviously originated from French.
