[-Gotchi-Gotchi-]

Mang (as in bang) - ga.

 

[kawaii~mametchi]

MANN - GA

I guess people say it in different ways!

 

[SailorMoon]

The correct pronunciation is "mahn-guh".

 

[`Krystal]

Yes. The correct pronunciation is mahn-guh. Or mon-guh.

 

[K Time]

I say "Mahng-uh"

That's how everyone here says it.

 

[-Gotchi-Gotchi-]

The japanese people, who actually invented the word, say "Ma" "n" "ga" with a "maahnga" soound rather than a "Mang-ga" sound. But outside of Japan, everyone says it differently, so it doesn't really matter. But in Australia, everyone says "Mang-ga".

 

[The Sparksta]

wow i did not even notice! i've been saying "main-gah" this whole time. but i can see how technically it would be "mon-gah"

 

[KuroMametchi]

I say it Manga. :L MAN - GA

 

[Darrelan]

I pronounce it mon-gah now, since my sister corrected me.

I believe that's the right way to say it.

[SIZE=9pt]I've been saying Mahn-ga. [/SIZE] :furawatchi:

 

[beaglesparklles]

Yah its really mahn gah. or mongah! I say it MON GAH

 

[Cinderpelt]

I'm studying Japanese in school, and the correction pronunciation of the word is, as Krystal said, "mon-ga" or "mahn-ga."

The Japanese symbol ま "ma" is pronounced as a short "a" sound in English.

If "manga" were to be pronounced "main-ga", it would be spelled with め "me", in which the "e" is phonetic for the long "a" sound in English. And the roomaji would be spelled, "menga".

So in short, it's pronounced "mon-ga". =]

 

[Worst.Username.Ever]

I just pronounce it as it's spelt. Mahn-ga.

 

[beaglesparklles]

Yah Im learning a bit of japanese to! *HI FIVES*

 

[meowbark]

Mon-gah.

Yep.

 

[.:VeganCheeseBurgerFTW:.]

Faar. I don't pronounce it either way.

For some reason this whole time I've been pronouncing it Mag-na.

I think out of everyone, I am the furthest off the actual pronunciation.

Once or twice I called it 'Magma'. It's not hot, molten rock!

 

[**Rainbow**]

I've been pronouncing it Man-gah. You're not far off how I pronounce it, Michelle!
