Pronouncing 'Tamagotchi'

Well I know that a lot of my friends pronounce the word Tamagotchi differently, and Im wondering if you do to? lol I know this is stupid, but Im just curious. I've had friends call it stuff such as:

Tamagoochi

Tamatchi

Tamamama

Tamatchigotch

Tama-GO-tchi

and even

Gotchitchi

So do you pronounce it different? Comment and let us fill our brains with useless information! xDDD

I pronounce it like 'Tama-Gaw-Chi' (Isnt this how you pronounce it? xD)

People around here ofter mispronounce tamagotchi as tamagootchi.

And I personally pronounce it like japanese do... tah-mah-goh-chee.

tawh-mah-got-chi

tawh-mah-got-chi

The correct Japanese pronunciation is:

Tah-mah-goht-(slight pause)-chi

^ I use that way more often :\

Wow xD a lot of people here do pronounce it tamagoochi. I pronounce it as 'tama' gaw'chi', is that pronouncing it wrong? lol

Hearing the L.i.f.e. webisodes pronounce it "Tamagatchi" makes me cringe

Ummm I've only ever pronounced it simply, with no accent xD. Ta-ma-got-chi!!!

I say it "Tam-er-got-chee". The way most people say it.

I think that's just a strong American accent. In some parts of America, people say "o" as more like "a".

Yeah this is the way I say it

I honestly get confused on how to pronounce it, the English or Japanese way? xD I usually pronounce it the 'English' way xD

I pronounce it the japanese way because most polish vowels sound just like in japanese.

"Tamagoci/tamagoczi" is the way to write "tamagotchi" phonetically in my language.

I pronounce it as "Ta-mah-gaw-chee", which is mostly the proper way of saying it.

if Rayman were to say it in Rayman 2, he'd say it like this: "Tah-mah-goh-chee", since he speaks in gibberish, or whatever language he speaks.

Yeah, I pronounce it like you do, but it seems more people would pronounce it like Rayman would.

Yeah, but if Globox were to say it, he'd say: "Rayman, it's actually pronounced Ta-mah-gat-chee." Rayman would have this confused look on his face, however. He'd reply: "No! It's Ta-ma-goh-chee! Say it right!"

But, I wouldn't even pronounce it like of how Globox would even say it. It depends where they came from, and what they speak in. I pronounce it properly, but Rayman and Globox would say it differently if "Tamagotchi" was actually mentioned in Rayman 2/Rayman 3D.

I just pronounce it as tamagotchi but my parents pronounce it as tamagootchi

My mom just simply pronounces it tamagotchi, with the tchi being strong, not like chee, just tchi. like in watch.

I pronounce it like TA-ma-got-CHEE but my friend says it like TAY-ma-got-CHEE.

I say Ta-ma-gaw-tchi. Lol, this is kind of like you say potato, I say po-taw-to. xD

My grandma: "Oh yes, I hope this is the right tama-GOOOO-chi."

xD
