The fun thing about Japanese sounds is they're almost-always pronounced the same.
For vowels, they have a-i-u-e-o, pronounced "ah" "E" like saying the English letter , "ooh" see ooh, ah "eh" and "oh" typically. Where it gets really fun is sometimes the U is silent. Tsuki, for instance, is the Japanese word for the moon. It's pronounced, most commonly, "tski". Many struggle with the tsu sound, it's tricky. So is the R, it's somewhere between R and L in other languages. Rolls a bit. There was a big war once over the pronunciation of "tsuka" where some suggested the u was silent, others insisted it was pronounced.
I've only seldom heard anybody talking about their "tska" though. Even the Japanese I've heard talking about swords have a bit of a U in there. I've never heard anybody argue against pronouncing the U in "tsuba" So yeah, sah-geh-oh, sah-yah, E-toh. For more fun: koshirae. Inflection, you see, is hard to do with text. I often catch myself and others just saying "koshiray" because whatever, close enough. AndiTheBarvarian Member. Interesting, we Germans pronounce the japanese terms the same way and with a little u after the ts naturally.
I wasn't sure if you english speakers would pronounce it like: saejoe - saejiah - eyetoo. Romanized Japanese is actually very simple to read, at least on a basic level, once you get the hang of it. The real trick is that Japanese and most other languages, too, including English is not really written letter by letter but syllable by syllable.
And almost every syllable in Japanese is either a lone vowel or a consonant followed by a vowel, sometimes with an N at the end to round it out. The vowels are always pronounced essentially the same regardless of the letters around them, unlike in English, and the consonants only change in a few very specific circumstances.
All vowels written with a single letter are short, there are no diphthongs, and long vowels are simply stretched instead of sliding into other vowel sounds - e.
So the word sageo , for example, should not be read as s-a-g-e-o, but sa-ge-o: three distinct syllables, each with a standard pronounciation that remains the same from word to word - the "sa" in "sa-ge-o" is the exact same as the "sa" in "sa-ya". Where it can get confusing is with the various competing methods used to signify long vowels as mentioned by randomnobody, above , some of which are really not well thought out at all Personally I would favor simply doubling the letter, due to its simplicity and clarity and maybe because that's how it's done in my native Finnish , but for whatever reason it's not among the most popular or officially recognized systems.
