Anime pronounciations...

[jeff]

ok, ok this could also have gone into the spam bin, so could someone move it for me if it's too spammy? :D
a'right. it's poll time again!
How do you pronounce Anime?
I hope you know what I'm on about by ee and ay!
I say it with an ee...
so...lets see! :wink:

[Rhoey]

Animay. It's pronounced differently in Hungarian and Swedish, the two languages I speak except for english. But it's harder to say it in english.

I say Animé. People seem to miss out that ´ on top of the e.

My opinions, tho.

[Kawaii Shuichi]

I pronounce it with the japanese pronunciation.

If you would here me say it, it would sound like I'm saying....

Ah Knee May.

Hope that makes since to you guys....But it's the only way I can really explain in on line.

[Zelda]

I pronounce it with the japanese pronunciation.

If you would here me say it, it would sound like I'm saying....

Ah Knee May.

I do the same.

[MajinYajuu]

I agree with Kawaii

[Keated]

since there's no thing above the e, my friends have taken to calling it 'Aneem' to annoy me... rofl

[Rhoey]

Haha, Keated. A manga/Japan crazed friend of mine thought that Anime is the name of 'American manga'. xD

I needed to teach her a few new things, among other things; "One can't call themselves 'manga freak' if they don't even know what anime is" xD

[Tohru*]

i agree with kawaii

[cynicalpain]

I used to pronounce it animee but now I know better. o0

[Takai]

erm.. i have hard time explaining myself here... something like..

ah neem eh

lol i don't know if that's really what i was trying to say.. but that's how i pronounce it in Russian..

[ReiRei]

I agree with Kawaii

[TonyTonyChopper]

I'm with Kawaii too!!

[Kaze no Shi]

Animay for me ^_^; I've always pronounced it like that, and probably won't change ^_^;

Animee sounded wrong to me, so I went with -may ^_^

[heero yuy]

ah nee may for me most of the time. sometimes I will pronounce it animay...just depends on who I'm around.

[NoirKoneko]

i used to pronounce it "an-I-m"...just the way it was spelled. but then I saw one of the DVDs and heard it pronounced animay, been referring to it like that ever since.

[Watari]

I say it kinda like Ah Nee May

[Rin]

i say animee, sounds better to me.

[Mac]

I say Ah Knee May - although my dad says 'Car Toons'.

Being a thread on anime, shouldn't this be in the anime forum?

[Erk Mizuhara]

i say ah-nee-may, although sometimes it just say ah-neem.

[Tylendell]

Ooops. I say Ah ne may. I dunno. Maybe it's the Aussie accent?

[Rin]

So the poll has to be wrong, like the only person i can see that says an-i-mee, is me, yet the poll says different, heh.

Ooops. I say Ah ne may. I dunno. Maybe it's the Aussie accent?

Well, i know a lot of guys in Australia, and they all say 'Ah ne may', so i dunno there, heheh
