It's on purpose. In Japan talking like a retarded is somehow cute.

See for example the segments about Coffee in Nichijou. Besides the accent on "F", they say it properly without any problem

Exactly, but without sounding like a retarded

At the Helvetica segment they go for the Japanese pronunciation "Kovee" .

At this one Mio goes for the Italian pronunciation, Caffé . In fact that is part f the joke, Mio is a coffee connoisseur, going for precise pronunciations and all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAzTxzEeptM


The point is that neither sound retarded and forced as LE COW FEEEEee

You know those cringe cosplayers/otakus that in order to sound cute scream KONICHIWAAA, SUGOIII and KAWAIII, always stretching out the last part the best they can, butchering the pronunciation and context in the process?

This is the Japanese version, and is just as cringeworth.

>>159907334
No, the guy you're responding to is correct, they're saying コーヒー, ko-hi-
They're not even making an attempt at a "f" or "v" sound.
In the second clip, Mio says "cafe" referring to the building, not the drink. "Cafe" is a common loanword in Japan.

>>159902360
The English "a" sound in coffee is different from Japanese "a" and they hear it more as an o sound and often gets transcribed as such in loanwords. To them it sounds more like an "o" and they have trouble getting the real vowel sound. F in Japanese only exists in standard pronunciation as part of the syllable "fu". "Fi" is not a natural word sequence for Japanese speakers in general and asking them to pronounce it is like asking an English speaker to say pt at the beginning of words. Hey it exists at the end of words so you can pronounce it easy at the beginning right? Then why does everyone say "terodactyl"? It's a similar concept for fi

To force it they can say something like "fu-i" which when pronounced quickly sounds like "fwee" in english and compounds it sounding so strange. So combine all these attempts to pronounce english with a limited native phonology and you get a best untrained attempt of something like "kaufwee"

Does it? I don't hear much of a difference between the hard a sound in coffee and the Japanese A, and I can tell the difference between the Japanese and English f/o/shi/ji sounds. What is the Japanese A closer to?

>>159903748
dual and duel are different words esl-kun.

>>159909408
English has literally thousands of foreign words which were meant to be spelled phonetically but sound nothing like the languages they came from. This still occurs in the present day.

>>159926157
A lot of the Arabic loan words are almost exactly the same though, surprisingly. I guess it's because a lot of them were scientific nomenclature without English equivalent.

>>159914101
While i agree with your point i think its a false equivalency.
P and T are both plosive, making them difficult to say, and Pterodactyl is a pretty unusual and easy to recognize word, even if somebody said 'Teredacteel' you'd know what they are talking about, so its easier to slur a difficult part of the word.
In words it becomes easier to pronounce because you can use the 'momentum' of the preceding vowel: ap-t
And besides that, PT isn't totally unheard of in English, even if it isn't always written like that: Think of the difference of 'Petite' and 'Petty' (at least in British English): 'p'teet' vs 'pehtee'

>>159923476
I remember these stupid auxiliaries from my English classes, it was especially confusing because in German we have 'must' as well, meaning about the same in the positive, but having a different meaning in the negative:

Du musst ihn töten = You must kill him

Du musst ihn nicht töten ≠ You must not kill him - its = You don't have to kill him
