Is it "tay" or "teh-wee?"

>> No.799911

'Tea'.

>> No.799913

Tay, like Tay Zonday.

Too-wee

TEEWEE

>> No.799920

I say Teh-wee, not sure what it really is.

>> No.799921

tewi = tei = tay

>> No.799923

The pronounciation is Tei (but it is romanized as Tewi).

>> No.799924

The former if you're not an idiot. The latter if you listen to the trolls who say true Japaneese pronunciations are weeaboo.

>> No.799925

Pronounced tay, spelled Tewi. Those are the results of /jp/ linguists.

You know, it's easier to just pronounce the Touhou names as they would be in English, as this is obviously what ZUN was going for. Cirno is sir-no, Tewi is too-wee, Keine is cane, etc.

>> No.799997

>>799985
Simple. For Cirno, there's no second vowel, so the i is short, hence "sir". For Tewi, an e proceeded by a w will in most cases take a u sound, you should recognize this from dew, few, pew, etc.
