>>2590910
You had it closer with the first tries.

Shinsuke is "shinsookay", but you say the soo part very quickly. Same goes for Asuka.

And that's only some people. Plenty of Japanese people will fully enunciate these names.

>>2590932
It's not "dess" if that's what you are implying. It's "dehsoo" but the soo is very quick and quiet.

>>2590939
Fuck no, man. Anime and manga are fucking gay. I took japanese in highschool because Spanish is gay, and French is the language of pussies.

Why is the H silent in Thomas? What the fuck is Sean??

Thhhhhhomas. Se-Anne?

Don't be such a retard.

Based Oscar and Shitstain working the smarks

Do you go around pronouncing the k in know, the g in rough and the other million words in your own language with silent letters as well or is this the new anti-smark pretending to be retarded gimmick?

>>2590947
Because japs are fucking dipfucks and made their language based on the smell of dogshit. Ka-Ki-Ku-Ke-Ko? KoSoADo? Shouldn't have stopped at Nagasaki.

It's not silent you idiot, without the h it will be tomus, see how retarded that sounds?

>>2590954
Those aren't vowels though. Making vowels silent is just stupid and confusing.

>>2590959

god yes, finally someone who gets it, im so tired of retards just saying SHINSKAY, it sounds fucking stupid

well if they want to use their own phonetics then they should just stay in fucking japan. how do you expect to come to a foreign country and have your name pronounced however you want?

>>2590984
>-t. inbred yokel that's never left his podunk hometown

For a name - the E in Sean is a vowel and not pronounced.

For normal words - the I in receive is a vowel and not pronounced. The I in neither is a vowel and not pronounced.
The U in quiet is a vowel and not pronounced. Do you even know your own language?

Japanese isn't a similar language to English; it goes by symbols rather than words.

Learn to appreciate other cultures you ignorant and daft troglodyte.

Well, dont get me wrong, i dont want to force people to learn how to pronounce them, but people who fail miserably to pronounce them right, should just take the easy version instead of sounding like dumbasses.

>>2590988
Jesus fucking christ you have no idea how vowels work, do you?
>When two vowels are next to each other, the first vowel is usually long (the sound is the same as the sound of the letter) and the second vowel is silent. Examples: meat, seat, plain, rain, goat, road, lie, pie.

>>2591008
Why would english language rules be relevant to japanese names that don't even use our alphabet?

>>2591016
Don't fucking ask me, I'm not OP, I was just pointing out how >>2590988 was wrong. He was talking about English-language

>>2590910
Asuka is actually pronounced 'fat fucking monkey'

>>2591023
Well you said "making vowels silent is just stupidand confusing" and I pointed out that there are various silent vowels and then you just said "DUDE DO YOU NOT KNOW ENGLISH THERE IS A RULE FOR SILENT VOWELS" which just proves my point that there are silent vowels.

Hepburn decided that the Japanese syllable "ss" should be written as "su" for some reason so that it's impossible for English-speakers to pronounce it correctly with no prior knowledge about the language

some Japanese say "suh" but it's usually "ss"

it's considered very feminine to pronounce it with any sort of "u" sound and it is very rare to hear it said that way

blame Hepbetty for this one

Soo desu ka?

I should add that the closest and English speaker can get to saying the name Shinsuke right would be "SHIN-suh-kay" with the "suh" so fast that the "u" sound is almost non-existant, but "SHIN-skay" sounds pretty much the same and IMO they should've just spelled his name "Shinskay" so that English-speakers wouldn't need to be taught how it's pronounced by the announcers constantly saying it

>>2591116
>they should've spelled his name wrong

"No".

any spelling but 真輔 (or pic related for kids who don't know kanji yet) is already wrong so it may as well be wrong in a way that makes it easy for people to pronounce

Is it really that hard to remember their native name pronunciations after you're politely corrected the first time?

Shinsuke is pronounced "Shinsukeh" as in Sasuke was pronounced "Sasukeh" and not "Sasukay"

>>2591137
I don't know kanji and never will, but I can read the hiragana.

For whatever reason whites are retarded.
Its literally pronounced shi nn su ke na ka mu ra
Thats how you spell it in romaji. Americans are just retarded if they spent literally an hour learning the syllaberies they wouldnt have this issue. I bet big bitch beta defender dave doesnt even know kana.
