| OH KNEE CHAN |
 |
| The correct pronunciation is "oh-NEHH-chan". Emphasis on the middle syllable and drag it out a little. Hopefully you don't actually pronounce it as "oh-KNEE-chan", because that means older brother instead of older sister. |

| FAIL, so much fail someone put this in spam already the stupidity hurts my brain |
| Also, OH KNEE CHAN and OH NI CHAN are the same thing, as far as I'm concerned. |
| who the hell even says chon? or on ee chan? are you trying to say CHAN who is ON E(E)? |
| Only weeaboos pronounce the first syllable "Oh". |
 |
| Honestly, I can't think of any situations where I would ever need or want to say "oneechan." I don't have any older sisters, and if I did I certainly wouldn't be addressing them with foreign terminology. |
| Oniisan (or oniichan, oniisama) refers to older brother, while oneesan (or oneechan, oneesama) refers to older sister, I'm pretty sure. I'm not a linguistic expert but this may help: onii - Oh knee onee - Oh neigh |

| Oh ni chan I guess. That's what I hear in anime. MisterSaito said: You have such a sexy voice Saito.like this: http://www.zshare.net/audio/7348423502bb45d1/ |

ladyxzeus said: Wait, wasn't onee-chan sister? And onii-chan brother? That's correct, for older sister and older brother. Normally for referring to someone not in your own family, except (I think) when you're addressing your own older sister/brother. So I believe you'd call your older brother onii-san (-chan, -sama) when addressing him, but if you were just talking about him he'd be ani. And if you're talking about some classmate's older brother (or something) it'd be onii-san, am I right? This may be helpful: Family Terms in Japanese. |

| The way you hear it in anime. |
 |
| That totally depends on whether you mean "oniichan" or "oneechan". First means "big brother", second means "big sister". For "oniichan", I pronounce the "o" as that in "otaku". Unless you pronounce that wrong -__- I don't think that o-sound occurs naturally in English? The "nii" as "knee" and "chan" as in... any "chan" you'll hear in an anime. For "oneechan", "o" is the same as in "oniichan" and "nee" like that in "next". "Chan" the same as for "oniichan". I can't really vote, cos none of the choices seem like the way I'd do it O_o |

| OH KNEE CHON? lol |
| I've spotted a pattern. Everyone who answers this is either an idiot or is repeating the thing that the idiots don't understand over and over. |
Its so obvious ...its O-N-I-C-H-A-N |
| "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Oneechan = O Nay Chan Oniichan = O Knee Chan |

| Onee-chan, because I'm from Winland. :O |

| I'm having trouble believing this thread is serious. First of all you've all heard how it's pronounced in shows, and if that confuses you just look at the way it's spelled in kana. This is why romaji sucks. |
