How do you pronounce okami?
« on: August 05, 2008, 08:56:37 PM »
Everyone I know calls it oh-ka-me, with the a accented.
I call it oak-a-me, with the o accented. The o has an accent on the front of the box and some voices in the game said oak-a-me when I started up the game for the first time, making me think that I have the correct pronunciation. Anybody know which pronunciation is right?

If it's Japanese, you pronounce it pretty much how you read it lol

O-Kah-Mi

every segment short and precise

not like

Ohh-Kaa-Mee


then again, I could be wrong, meh

I would say OH-kah-mee, where the ah is like the o in odd.

It's actually Oukami; an o followed by a u doubles the length of the o. So like: Oh-ka-mi.
