loaf of bread 0 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Futamawagagawatawa or wherever it is that Man In Japan just mentioned in the beer thread. That's a good one. Any more please? I live in a disappointingly easily said area called "Machida". Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Not the name of a place but...my wife's name Hisae was a tough one to get right for the first few weeks. After 11 years of marriage my dad back in Canada still hasn't got it right...pretty funny actually. Link to post Share on other sites
pickled mushhead 0 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Haha same. You'd think Kimiko was not that difficult. But she has been called - Kimoko - Komiki - Komiko - Kumiko - Kamiko and others. Almost never "Kimiko" Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 yeah, my girl is called "Makiko", not very difficult, all easy sounds in english but my family have said it all sorts of ways...."Makika, Makiki, Makoko....etc" I've told them just to call her Maki.....this seems to be fine Link to post Share on other sites

Jynxx 4 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Funny. I don´t have problems saying them. Come to think of it, probably it´s because you can´t read Kanji. example Futamatagawa if it´s in kanji, straight away I´d know whether it´s : Futama-tamagawa Futamata-gawa Link to post Share on other sites
