How do you pronounce the title?
Since I'm American I am probably butchering the name of the title. Could someone please give me a proper pronunciation. Thank you.
Be true today- The Beatles
Kah-gay-moo-sha
shareNot quite. The second syllable is pronounced "geh." So it's: Kah-geh-moo-sha.
kang-eh-moo-sha/sya.
"g" inside a japanese word is pronounced "ng".
The last syllable is kind of half way between sya and sha. The "sh" sound has the tongue closer to the teeth (giving it a thinner sound) than in English, where the tongue is further back.
Wow, I've actually been pronouncing it correctly.
sharepmurray41 is correct.
shareWell, Japanese is my first language and I tend to pronounce it slightly differently.
You probably know 'old' and 'new' Japanese dialects differ mainly in pronunciation, so the title breaks down like this:
kah-gai-moo-sha
Pronounced correctly, the second syllable should rhyme with the word 'hi.'
In old Japanese, you're right it would be more of a 'geh' sound, but to Japanese audiences that sounds formal and stiff. Of course, all thrown together the difference is almost imperceptible unless you're a native Japanese speaker.
