"Nyoibo" & "Kintoun" Pronunciation

Post by the1payday » Wed Jun 21, 2006 4:24 pm

So recently i've been wondering about some early dragon ball pronunciations. What is the correct way to say "Nyoi-bo" and "kintoun." Those may not be spelled right, but you know what I mean.

Japanese is not a difficult language to pronounce which may surprise some people because of the way karaoke and sudoku are pronounced around here. Really, you just say it the way it's spelled.

Nyoi-bou- Nyoee-bow if that helps
Kintoun- Keentohoon only, say it faster

Chaos Saiyajin, I'm not sure what you've written actually makes sense... it does if you know how to pronounce Japanese already, but that's the problem.

Alucard seems to be the closest.

If I have time, I'll make some audio samples. Or someone else can.

Kinto Un - http://tinyurl.com/otz9y

If someone would tell me in what episode(s) he says "Nyoibo", I'll try to get a sample of it, too.
