Ratwagon1600 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Ive always heard it pronounced here as: Wa tar nah bee Mind you, what would us Aussies know, we only speak the language of our invaders from a couple of hundred years ago. Hold on, they invaded the USA as well. 2 Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 It's not journalism. Magazines assume you know what they are talking about. Watanabe... either Wah-tah-nah-bay or Wat-tah-nah-bee* I would say it this way myself. Boston Harbour comes out as Baaastin Haaaba by those that live there, (or is that New York?) but I don't say they are wrong. "Magazines assume you know what they are talking about." If I already knew it I wouldn't bother reading them. Being informed is that I'm paying for. Quote Link to comment
