Quick, I need an American. How do you guys pronounce 'isekai'? Going off the correct Japanese pronunciation this post does not make any sense. These things aren't even close in the way I say them.

[–] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

ih-seh-kai, and ASCII like ass-key. They aren't close, to me.

That's ass-sea, you Neanderthal!

It's much funnier that way, as any right thinking human knows ;)

I know its asskey because asskey unlocked an ass, see?

Puns.

You wouldn't rather motorboat a sea of ass?

Ee-sik-kai and ass key. I bet I'm double wrong but less wrong than OOP. There not close.

i usually would hear EE-seh-kai or EE-say-kai, given that its basically I and Sekai(meaning world in japanese) put together. so how you pronounce the latter should depend on how you pronounce the word Sekai

We don’t. We make you speak American, like god intended.
