How do you pronounce "mame"?
Webster does not list the word "mame" probably because it is Japanese. What is the correct pronunciation - "maim" or "mah'may" or perhaps something else?
Sorry for the dumb question but I am new at this and would like to know.

Re: How do you pronounce
Hi Nipper,
Asking isn't dumb! * Vowels in Japanese are very similar to spanish pronunciations. *There are the same five vowels, a e i o u and they are pronounced somewhat as follows a: ah as in "caught" e: eh as in "bet" i: *eeee as in "meet" * o: oh as in "owe" u: uuu as in "boot" So mame is pronounced mah meh, as in "[i:0b967609bd]Ma may[/i:0b967609bd] bake pie tonight" |
