What is the Japanese pronunciation of the English word 'membership'? If you can, please type 'e nun see a shun' (enunciation) of the word. Thanks! I'm typing a transcript.

Depends on context.

Do you mean "membership" as in "the membership attended his funeral"? 会員/構成員
Do you mean "membership" as in "I asked about how to acquire membership in the club"? 会員制
Do you mean "membership" as in "membership is 57 people"? 会員数
Do you mean "membership" as in "membership is free"? 会費

etc.

Thanks, Kyle! - 06-17-2011, 01:58 AM

I think I need the second context which you provided. But I don't have the symbols enabled in Word. I need the enunciated version, and it sounds like 'keinshe'. Sound familiar?

I actually need to spell it in English.

Transcribed into the English alphabet it would be KAI-IN-SEI.

Thanks, M! That's what she's saying, but I couldn't figure out how the syllables and all of that work in Japanese spelling.
