why is my avatar scary???
btw, inuyasha would be pronounced
ee nu ya sha
(i) prounounced like ee in eel, (u) pronounced similarly to the u in duke
and (a) vowels are like sharp ah
japanese vowels are always pronounced the same, nothing "modifies" them
a - ah
i - ee (like eel)
u - oo
e - eh
o - oh (sharp o)
words like ai (love) arent modified, its the sound of 'ah' followed by 'ee' : ai
also the thing to remember, in japanese, the alphabet is phoenetic. so each hirigana represents a consanant.
i nu ya sha
い ぬ や しゃ
inu means dog in japan, not sure about yasha
(taking japanese courses in college atm)
