Her name is Tei

TOO WOO

Her name is 2E.
I whisper it sweetly into her floppy ear every night as we spoon in bed.

Guess What? If you care about a pronunciation of something you should never say in real life you are a fucking idiot.

I call her i-nah-bah.

>>5959238
Lol, floppy and spoons

You now notice her left ear is connected to her forehead.

I regularly discuss touhou vocally with other people over the internet. Pronunciation matters to me.

>>5959245

Well I hate to take a page from /b/...ever. But...

U MAD

So what you're saying is that it's possible to troll Tewi by deliberately mispronouncing her name?

>>5959245
Yes, the first time I ever had to say touhou out loud I was like "What the fuck am I doing?".
It was a horrible experience because the guy I was talking to was from /a/ and visited /jp/ once and was confused.

I say (tweh) because I still read her name as Twei.

>>5959254

Thank you. Who wouldn't talk about Touhou out loud? Sometimes I shout about Touhou so that my neighbors can hear. Usually "Fuck" and "Shit" and "Goddam that youkai bitch killed me again"

Things like that.

>>5959245
>you should never say in real life
What?

>>5959245
I still read the words in my head.

Bitches don't know bout old disused kana.

Tenshi has the same.

OP Here: It was less trolling and more nerdrage. About a 30/70 ratio.

>>5959288

Well seeing as no one on /jp/ can read, write or speak Japanese there's a pretty good chance of that.

井の中の蛙大海を知らず and all that.

Teeuwee

>>5959229
Tenu

no need to pronounce her name when i've stabbed her in the face and killed her

>>5959412
She is not real, you weirdo.

>>5959304
なに、この偉いそう書き方。ただ一つだけ慣用語句しってるし。

tewe-wee

I used to pronounce it 2 E, like a spit sound
Now I pronounce it tay

Actually, if one were to live in Gensokyo, they would pronounce it as "Tei" while inside Eientei or over 1000 years of age would pronounce it as "Tewi", considering Gensokyo was closed off before ゐ was made obsolete after the war.

ゐ (wi) and い (i) were generally both pronounced as "i" after the Heian period (794 – 1184 CE).

But Gensokyo doesn't exist so anyone who pronounces it like "Tewi" is probably autistic.

Personally I just call her
My Honey Bunny

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHA7xoxQ9VU

I pronounce it "Tenu",

I used to pronounce it as テウィ until I watched some video where they were talking about her and pronouncing it as てい.

I'm not sure how I pronounced ちるの before I knew Japanese (or saw チルノの算数教室, whatever came first), but I figure it was as "sir-no."

Also, I used to sound out りんのすけ as rinno-suh-keh instead of -noske, but that's the fault of faggots clinging to shitty romanization systems like Hepburn's rather than transliterations that actually make sense phonetically.

I read it as tewi and if I ever have to say it outloud I'd say "Tei".

Also, how do you you pronounce Cirno? Just "siir-no" or "chirno"?

>>5960112
Cur-no or Chi-ru-no is how i pronounce it

>>5960112
learn kana
????
know how to pronunce stuff

>>5960153
Ah cool. I think I'll start saying it "Chiruno". I cringe when I hear someone say it like "Cheer no".

>>5960112
Chillno

>>5960112
Check out these videos, they both have subs and in both her name is said out loud (it's written チルノ)

Seer-no

I pronounce everything correctly because if I ever meet anybody in real-life who likes Touhou, I want to make fun of them for pronouncing it wrong.

>>5960179
Well actually the "ru" is heavily devoiced in most Japanese regional accents, so it comes out kinda like that anyway. Oh wells.

Teh-wee

>>5960112
take the accent out of cirno, her name is chillno because she's cold. zun is so clever.

I know how they're pronounced but I never say them out loud, anyway.
I do prefer the sound of "Sir-no" to "Chiruno" and "Too-ee" to "Tei", though.

But it's read as Te-wee in the modern world.

Ih-Zah-Yoy or Ih-Zah-Yo-Ih?

Tea-wee

>>5959229
I pronounce her name "Te-wee" and I'm not a fucking idiot. That means you're a fucking liar.

I pronounce Tewi "Tewwy".

Problem?

You know her name is pronounced Tei, i don't know why it's spelled Tewi in the first place since all other names that comes from japanese is spelled the way it sounds. Why would ゐ be "wi" anyway?

The Wii

>>5961611
Is that Teddy with ｗｗｗｗｗｗ ?

>>5961565

Oh shit. You're wrong.

>>5961624

Troll much?

I can't wait for some kind of official Toohoo dub/translation that gives canon English pronunciations like "Tewwy", "Seerno", "Suh-torry", etc

>>5961672
Maybe if ZUN gets really, really drunk. Like drunker than he's ever been before. Ah, no...even then it would never happen...

>>5961647
Just because you type in "wi" to get ゐ doesn't mean ゐ　is pronounced that way, similarily japanese people use "tu"　to write in つ, that doesn't mean that names like たつや is written "Tatuya".

Kane.
Because Kay-ney sounds god damn ridiculous and suits her like a hole in the head.

>>5961560

I agree with "sir-no". Easier to say than chiruno.

I call her Towel.

>>5961697
I used to call her Keen.

chewy

I pronounce it Tu-wii. I'm not an idiot! h00r4y!

The phonetics of my native language are very close to Japanese. Enjoy your silly pronunciation.

>>5961743
This. But I'm not saying which you silly boys~.

>>5961743
get out corean

>>5961743

Spanish?

>>5961736

>>5961750
>he thinks corean is pronounced the same
OH WOW.jpg

>>5961752

I laughed IRL

Most people ask me "Is that from some japanese cartoon?"

Then I freak out that someone wants to talk to me at 4am

te-wii

Raymoo? Ayrin? Suhkooya? Sik...Sickyicky Yamyzandoo? Gotdangit, Bobby, get off that vidya game and mow the lawn.

>>5961837
Something is wrong with Youmu's hand.

In my head I like to call her something along the lines of "Tee-wee" or "Tiwi" or however you'd say it, because that sounds way cuter than Tei.

Similarly I like Sirno better than Chiruno and Keen better than Keine. I audibly pronounce them properly but the improper ways sometimes sound more elegant / cuter to me.

>>5961860
Hey, you wanna complain about it?

Right here.

heh, new game from nintendo, Banjo Tewi

I have a paranoia, when I'm reading a translation, that what the words say are completely different from the original text, and the translator is just making shit up. I mean, how would you know, if the bullshit was consistent throughout an entire manga/anime?

i pronounce the series name Tau-Hau

>>5961992
If there are multiple translations available, you could compare them.
