Is that how you pronounce it all. Do I sound out all the vowels?

Seiryuu 06-20-2007 02:39 AM

In japanese, there is only one way to pronounce the vowels.

As for sounding out, clarify please.

EikoGuy 06-22-2007 07:12 PM

Well in spanish you have to pronounce each vowel always. Do you hear each vowel in all these words or are some of them silent.

NOw I need the alphabet

I think some of the above may be wrong(least according to a book I have)

corrections:

Ohayoo

to make it easier, anything with "ou" should be "oo, according to my book.

Konnichi wa

Konban wa

Moshi moshi

@Miyavifan

There are several systems of Japanese romanization. While the one from your book is not wrong, it's less common than the other two ways I see more often. Usually it stays 'ou', or else an accented ō is used.

I hate romaji :P
