Question with 5 notes

talkinggorillabutler asked:

If I were to say the sounds "mah" "l/ree" "tsu" what words would a Japanese speaker think I was saying?

Like pronouncing a foreign word? Hm. “Maritz”? Don’t think it’s “Mars” or “Morris”. “Mary Sue” would be “mah-ree-suu-” I think. Audience?

  1. kontextmaschine said: @talkinggorillabutler oh then the last bit would be suu-, probably extended so written スー, tsu/ツ is a different mora
  2. talkinggorillabutler said: Sorry, I meant the other way around. I want to do the multi language pun thing and name an anime girl OC something in Japanese that would sound phonetically like “mary sue”
