['mæs(ø)mju:n]
[,mʌsʌ'mu:ne]
How do you pronounce "Masamune"?
This name has always confused me - how do you pronounce it?
In English I guess it's something like ['mæs(ø)mju:n], while in Sweden we would say [,mʌsʌ'mu:ne].
Which one is correct?
I've heard that the Swedish version actually is the right one, but I've also heard otherwise.
ma-sa-mune
(Mah-sah-myoon, or something like that)
that's how I pronounce it.

Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

I can't tell what that is you've typed......my computer isn't recognizing the font. It reads:That would be [,mʌsʌ'mju:n], then.

Close. It's mah-sah-myoon-ay.
I pronounce it mA-sA-moon-A
Not.Close. It's mah-sah-myoon-ay.
Nope.
I guess its open to interpretation. The way I've been taught to read english (the way everyone is taught to read english), is that the e is silent in this instance.
If your reading it in a different language, then I'm sure it could be different. In english, the e is definitely silent.
Therefore, more like mah-sah-myoon or mass-a-myoon

I just say "massa-moon," but I know that isn't correct.

Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Let's just call it "The big kickass ninja sword"
I never said thats how your suppose to say it just thats how I pronounce it (cause I think it sounds cool)Nope.
It's a reference to a legendary Japanese sword smith's name: Masamune Okazaki.
Using the Japanese Hiragana pronunciations, it would be pronounced as follows:
Ma sah moo nay
...
Mah-sah-moon-eh
The below sentence is true.
The above sentence is false.
Mua (like American mother) som (like somber or psalm) nay (or neigh).
Ma-samu-ne
Though I'd guess Masa-mune would be correct.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.

Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
