How does one pronounce "TouHou"? I've always thought it was 2hu, but I'm not sure if that's right.

I'd hate to meet someone else IRL who knows what it is and not even be able to pronounce it.

[Anonymous No.]

Japanese pronunciation isn't very complicated, dear.

The u just make o's a bit longer or something.

Japanese pronunciation is about as straightforward as you will get. The "ou" is pronounced like how one would say the letter O.

If you forget ass-backwards English pronunciation for one second, take a guess and say it syllable by syllable, it's likely to be correct.

If you're not joking then you should probably rethink your pronunciation.

Japanese vowels never change, they are always the same.

But that's wrong, you idiot.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9621492

For all intents and purposes, it's really not wrong at all, and it's the easiest way to explain it to someone who didn't already know.

Sorry he didn't mention that there is a very slight "ew" sound after, damn aspie.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9621499
Still not correct. It's a long "o", you don't pronounce the "u". Just like in Tousaka (or Tohsaka).

[Anonymous No.]

>>9621594
I still have no idea why mirror moon likes using "h" over "u" so much.

[Anonymous No.]

Why does japanese have "u" if it's silent?

[Anonymous No.]

>>9621607
It's not silent

[Anonymous No.]

>>9621594

So let me get this straight, first you say this;

">The "ou" is pronounced like how one would say the letter O
But that's wrong, you idiot."

And then you say this;

>It's a long "o", you don't pronounce the "u"


Make up your mind and stop contradicting yourself.

How the fuck do you pronounce 'two'? 2hu sounds more like fart than touhou, ultra-gaylord.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9623426
2hu sounds cute -- maybe because i associate it with the cuteness of /jp/ --, while the finnish pronounciation of touhou reminds me of touho the duck, who's retarded. also you are the most gay

that's wrong, actually. In Japanese the pronounciation of the u's is silent while in Finnish they're not

[Anonymous No.]

>>9623479
If you're pronouncing it like Touho, you're pronouncing the 'u' too deep, dickwad.

And everytime I see someone being retarded while making it known they're Finnish it makes my blood boil. Those faggots have caused me more problems than jews and jocks put together. I just want to enjoy lurking and sometimes posting in peace without fearing one of them niggers got me rangebanned by shitposting and ban evading, time and time again.

They already ruined our own chans, and cause distrust and hate everywhere else.

'Joke's on you, I was only pretending to be retarded!' is your defense, then? Hardly negative ad hominems when it's been pointed out you're wrong?

I reworded my last post to change 'niggers like you' into 'those niggers' to address all faggot Finns as a whole. Seems like my courtesy was wasted since you are very much one of them.

I don't usually focus on individual cases, nor do I care for bullying. I am not responding to you trying to help you understand; I am calling you a retarded cockslut for acting like a retarded god damn cockslut. I have never expected someone like you to learn anything, nor do I care about you personally, I am simply venting my frustration of faggots like you being faggots like you while letting other people who might be pronouncing it wrong like you suggested learn without having to look like an ass like you.

And before you reply about being the masterful troll you are, with your witty use of never before seen acts of 'pretending I'm retarded' and 'typing like a third-grader';
You have succeeded in making me mad, oh yes. Your retarded thinking, your idiotic writing, your very ignorant being is a blight on my relaxation. You have ruined this one evening of me taking it easy.
This does not make you a successful troll, if your mind can grasp the concept. You have managed to get yourself on a level of being a shitstain on the bottom of my shoe, an annoying brat yelling in a supermarket, a roadkill stuck on the tyre of my shitty car. Whether that's something you are proud of I can only imagine, but at the end of the day I can close my computer and relax with a cup of tea, while you remain a pitiful husk of a human being filled to the brim with excrement.

Now go choke on a dick, you giga-cumbucket. Your last few posts are way too transparent, I guess continued effort on your part is over estimating your mental faculties. I hope you drown in a tornado of cocks.

Drunkposting as well, though it's no excuse since I'm always drunk
Yeah, obviously I'm exaggerating to a degree, but the underlying butthurt is very much real. Had I been serious, I imagine I would have written essays on how exactly you were wrong and why you're worse than Hitler, instead of just trying to find more creative ways to call you a semen-guzzling cock-deposit. Good times.

But really, I would have hoped against hope that you weren't serious, but it's been proven futile so many times before.. And even then, getting your jollies from pretending to be an idiot is hardly better than being an idiot. Point in case everything on the internet, ever. That you're still here instead of being content in giggling at my outburst at least gives me some hope.
I am so very, very tired of losing everything I value, and not being able to care any more. It was good to let out some steam, thanks. Just, try to be more creative when shitposting, there're enough actual idiots being idiots for anyone to need to pretend to be one.
