>i've been pronouncing it wrong for 12 years

>>6768482
The game intros literally pronounce it for you.

>>6768482
>Is it really pronounced "Say-ga"?
It's really not

Su-Gay (Service Games)

>>6768482
You can't be old enough to be here. They literally recite the name in the commercials and at the beginning of most games.

>>6768482

I always pronounced it Sue-Guea

>>6768489

SEGA is a japanese company. Something I discovered is that knowing a romance language helps you pronounce Japanese words better. If you pronounce all 日本語 in Spanish, you can't go wrong.

Se-ga

OP must be in an english speaking country outside of north america. For some reason Americans are the only english speakers that are able to pronounce japanese words somewhat accurately.

it's seh-gah
japanese is red almost exactly like spanish

Even the SG3000 was pronounced "SEE-ga"

Americans are also fond of pronouncing i as "eye", as in Eye-talians, so take that as you will.

suh-guh

Have you ever fucking played a goddamn Genesis Sonic game? IT FUCKING PRONOUNCES THAT SHIT FOR YOU RIGHT WHEN YOU TURN IT ON.
Jesus, you fake fucking retrogamer kids.

name a better SEGA intro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MhgwEzLTzQ

It's pronounced セガ.

>>6768498
this one is the correct one

even if you were swayed to think the intros were saying SEEGA, the commercials had people saying "Now on Sega" and said it say-ga

The "E" is silent.

>>6768482
SEGA is "Service Games"

Thank God I'm not an anglophone. Imagine having issue to pronouce a simple word like that lmao

>>6768717
No we fucking don't, the fuck are you watching :v

>>6768787

If your Australian this is correct pronunciation and how Sega choose to pronounce the same in our region.

So-Gay

Some people say "Seg-ah", which I find a bit weird.

>>6768482
This is the correct Japanese pronunciation

This is the correct pronunciation recommended for English speaking people

t. Taiwanese expat living in Japan

I guess that's a problem for native english speakers
German pronounciation of latin letters mostly correponds to Japanese pronounciation of it

>>6768652
Based romantic speaking Japanese learner
.t Italian learning Japanese

>"see-ga"

OP must be retarded/australian.

>>6768596
