Apparently the original Japanese shows that the second syllable should be twice the length of the first, too! this one looks good ,,,so ,im going with this one.

Newfoundfreedom Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Oh I'm so glad you started this post. I've been dying to ask someone this for months but didn't want to sound daft. Are DR strings, as in DR Neons etc, pronounced Dee Are, or Doctor? In my head I've always called the Doctor Neons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Almost correct. All Japanese words have been translated phonetically into English. Go Toe is right BUT in Japanese each syllable is the same length and quite short ( don't tell the Americans that there is no she in Hiroshima). I have included a sound sample with my amatuerish pronunciations of Gotoh, Hiroshima and Matsushita (the original name for Panasonic). Japanese pronunciations..m4a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
