LOL I say "Ree Amumeeyuh"



Apexi = Apexy (eee at the end)



Efini= EFF INI





My friend read "Smidgens" as "Smid" "gens" (As in "get" type of g sound) over the weekend, I couldn't help but crack up. I was like "Man, how do you say "Fudge"? "Fud Gey"?

well, the Japanese vowels sounds are as follows: Ah Eh EE Oh Oo instead of the traditional A E I O U, respectively.



so Amemiya would be pronounced Ah-Meh-Mee-Yah, like Mama Mia!



I always say A-P-ex-Ee, although I guess It's just apex.

Mugen = Moo-Gehn (almost Gayn), not Mew-Jin or Mew-Gen

Although "Amemiya" is suppose to be pronounced ah-meh-mee-yah, most of the videos it's pronounced ah-mah-mee-yah
