touhou isn't pronounced two-who

Toe hoe just doesn't seem quite as whimsical.

It also sounds kind of gross.

It sounds better in its most accurate pronunciation, but I have no idea how to perfectly translate that into English sounds.

AHR

Toe-who.

Wait, that's not how it's pronounced?

Put 東方 or とうほう here and select "translate into Japanese" (as in, "translate Japanese into Japanese") in order to get a "Listen" button.

Think of the word "bow" (as in "bow and arrow"), and now pronounce it but with a t and then with an h as the starting consonant.

Toe hoe sounds like another name for a foot fetishist...

glennmagusharvey,
Think of the word "bow" (as in "bow and arrow"), and now pronounce it but with a t and then with an h as the starting consonant.

I think that was actually a pretty clear way to explain that.

Have you ever been in a situation where someone tried to describe to you how to say something online and ended up just confusing you even more? That was what happened to me when someone suggested that to say "Clannad" one needed to pronounce it like Donald. I guess that might make sense for someone who is Irish, but I had trouble understanding how that even worked at all.

I just keep in mind Houou, or Ho-Oh as it's romanized for English speakers.

Stormtroper

Silly anglophones, you don't end the syllables in Touhou with those "u" or "w" or whatever sounds.

I found this. Relevant, maybe?
