What is the proper pronunciation for Japanese "Nikkou"?
548929
♡Hi MissFred! I learned that "nikkou" means sunshine or sunlight so I hope we're discussing the same "nikkou" here. I think "nikkou" is a beautiful word too! The pronunciation would be like knee-koh-oo  *The u- oo sound is often times very faint, soft in many cases. *Although there are those who pronounce it a bit stronger. I hope this helps you! Have lived in Japan over 8 years now.♡ *If I have the wrong word, pardon me in advance! (*^o^*)

R--- Ryosuke, Ryota, Ryoji Ryuta, Ryunosuke, Ryu\nB--- Bunta, Bunmei\n\nJapanese male name which starts from B is kind of rare due to it is not "clear" sound for Japanese. Japanese parents do not want clepe  their children's name such starts with B sound.

there are some rules in japanese that make our western names be spoken differently.That is they can't pronounce\n"l" and can't pronounce more than one consonant at the same time.\n\nSo I guess your name would be pronounced something like\nArekasadara Redesama or something.

Depends what you are trying to achieve.  Patxi is a Basque personal name that is equivalent to Francis in English.  You therefore have four options:\n\n1. Leave it as "Patxi" - In many parts of the Spanish-speaking world and Spain in particular, they are used to Basque names and so this won't look odd.  Probably the best option.\n\n2. Change it to "Pachi", which captures the sound, but no longer looks like anything anyone would recognise.  Probably the worst option, but you might put this in brackets afterwards if you were unsure that the reader would know how to pronounce it.\n\n3. Change it to "Francisco", which is the Spanish equivalent name.  You could use this option if you are trying to "hispanisize" the name for some reason.\n\n4. Change it to "Paco" which is the Spanish short form of "Francisco" and looks a bit more like "Patxi".

Merriam-Webster's website has the standard dictionary entry that would tell you how to pronounce it, PLUS you can play an audio file that will read it for you, so you can hear it. Coolness!\n\npah-poo-ah\nor \npah-pyoo-ah\n\nAccent on the first syllable.

it's not the bad spelling. it's just that it doesn't make any sense. try to listen to it again. maybe by the second one you hear "kiries kai kirioi" which means " ladies and gentlemen" . sounds close enough
