Pronouncing Fuwanovel

[Stanleys]

I've been thinking about something while listening to some of the live streams and podcasts lstely. How do you all pronounce Fuwanovel? Some of the people that I've heard in the streams have pronounced the fuwa part with ywo syllables, kinda like foo-wa. This was different from how I've always pronounced it. I've always pronounced it with one syllable, like f-wa. Sorry, thats the best way I could describe it. I got it from the way its pronoinced in the song Fuwa Fuwa Time.

[Steve]

yes, just like in fuwa fuwa taimu not long foo, short fu (like the chinese name)

[Tom]

Well I pronounce Fuwa like Wafu but the other way around.

like a W

 

I always though Fuwa was Wafu but inverted.

[Zakamutt]

I go by the long fu sound. huwanovel. More Furukawa than Futon, for random references of dubious value.

Let's all thank HTT for teaching us how to pronounce Fuwa

 

I just memorized how fuwa sounds for manga purposes.

well at about 20 sec she also uses long foowa and then fuwa with u but short and then in the fwa fwa time its just fwa... so any pronunciation is possible xD Depends on the situation

 

(I use the second one at the 20sec part, the short fuwa)

She's being inclusive clearly.

I just read it like i would in my language because it's exactly the same pronounciation as the japanese one. Fu as in the chinese name and wa as in.. Hm I don't have a word for that pronounciation of wa in english, need a most extensive english vocabulary.

Wander maybe?

[Nosebleed]

Wander maybe?

That a in wander is affected by the n so not exactly, but close enough.

[garejei]

I've always assumed it was ふわ.

 

[Steve]

yes it is ふわ but even individual japanese have different pronunciation of that word

Being the K-On fan that I am, I just pronounce it like in the song.

[Mephisto]

Long fuwa when saying it in english

[cryofrzd]

I actually drop the hard w-sound when I pronounce it, must be wrong. Tried IPA-ing my (probably horrible) pronunciation:  

 

fʉːanɔvɛl

Rarely need to pronounce it but it would sound something like "few-ahh-no-voll" to me.

[zoom909]

This is how to pronounce it.

Like that.

[Darkshine]

"Foowahnoveh"

 

That's probably how i'd pronounce the word. 

Anyway I don't think it's a big deal how you say it as long as your satisfied.

No its not, just kinda interesting to see how the way people say something is different.

The world is a vast place with different kinds of people just like fuwanovel consists of 90% loli lovers and 10% well the rest.
