| i say it right, where’s my cookie |
| Why does it matter, like damn! I pronounce it Suh-Koo-Nah, and no one gives a shit! |
| "Su" sounds are shortened more often than not in Japanese. "Ku" is also shortened a lot but not as often. I don't really consider this cursed info. It's usually the case with names containing "su". |

| thanks, cheers to pronouncing sukuna right ig |
| If you're saying Skuna, you're pronouncing it worse than anyone else. I haven't heard or seen anyone pronounce it outside of the Anime, so I can't really confirm. Do they say it like Siukuna? |
 |
| If you are not Japanese it is not wrong to call it "sukuna", "skuna" is only the Japanese pronunciation, as for sasuke, it is not wrong to pronounce it "sasuke", simply in Japan "u" is almost never pronounced |
| It doesn't matter, we still make ourselves understandable. And besides, I'm sure most people use [u] or [ส] instead of [ษฏ] so we're still saying it wrong anyway. |

SinningQvQ said: When you watch the anime sub and actually listen to the characters mentioning Sukuna you'll notice they never pronounce the ๐ so it's "Skuna" basically . To me it's very reminiscent of how back in the day everyone would say Sas๐ke instead of Sasuฬถke in Germany because of the dub . It's a pain cuz It makes me seem like a stupid weeb when i say it correctly but saying it wrong on purpose is ... well wrong (both feels oddly humiliating) It doesn't help that I haven't found a single english video that pronounces his name correctly . It almost feels like no one has noticed ! Which is why this is here now . Go tell your friends or yk don't ๐๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐ฎ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช'๐ง๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐จ ๐๐ช๐ง๐จ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐ ๐๐ข :D I'm a closet otaku, pronaucation of names seldom effects me lol, so not much of a curse. |

Delta_Entropy said: I know, and I still think it's worse, because with Skuna you know better and you're still pronouncing it incorrectly. AtmosphericEntry said: If you're saying Skuna, you're pronouncing it worse than anyone else. I haven't heard or seen anyone pronounce it outside of the Anime, so I can't really confirm. Do they say it like Siukuna? No that’s more correct than the other way. In Japanese, the “oo” sound is often partially voiced or nearly dropped entirely. It’s why desu is said closer to des than to de-su, daisuki is closer to daiski than dai-su-ki, and so on. Sukuna is pronounced closer to s’kuna than su-ku-na and for someone not acquainted with Japanese pronunciation or accenting it’s more correct to omit the u sounds entirely that to voice them, though the real pronunciation is a little between the two. As for your question, people who don’t know about Japanese and only read Sukuna’s name pronounce it Su-Ku-Na because that’s how it’s written if you break it up into its component characters. The common incorrect pronounciation is similar to the way people used to pronounce Sasuke(as mentioned), or the way people often pronounce Pokemon, but in OP's case you have to omit a sound just because it's a better approximation of the way it's authentically voiced. Sukuna really isn't a challenge to pronounce correctly, any more than a name like Asuka or Kazuya(if you play Tekken). |

SinningQvQ said: I'll take back what I said, because I think pronunciation is confusing in general when you try to convey it in text.AtmosphericEntry said: well like i said I'm embarrased of saying it either way so i avoid saying his name altogether besides that i think you've just confused me a lot more ๐
Do they say it differently in interviews ? and where does the "Siukuna" idea come from ?If you're saying Skuna, you're pronouncing it worse than anyone else. I haven't heard or seen anyone pronounce it outside of the Anime, so I can't really confirm. Do they say it like Siukuna? I do think you're on to something, but in Japanese it would be more like the difference between ใใใช(Sukuna) and ใใใใช(Sลซkuna), with the first more correctly approximating to S'kuna and the second incorrectly to Sukuna. Sorry for confusing you in my confusion. |

SinningQvQ said: I'm trying to clarify things, but I guess I'm just making it worseAtmosphericEntry said: ooh thx for clearing that up :D That's definately an interesting idea but don't you think they would have that in the romaji then ? Why would no one say it that way then ? It just doesn't seem that likely to me but it's good to cover all bases ^^I'll take back what I said, because I think pronunciation is confusing in general when you try to convey it in text. I do think you're on to something, but in Japanese it would be more like the difference between ใใใช(Sukuna) and ใใใใช(Sลซkuna), with the first more correctly approximating to S'kuna and the second incorrectly to Sukuna. Sorry for confusing you in my confusion. unless I'm misunderstanding you again then I'm sorry ':D The correct romaji is Sukuna, but the incorrect pronunciation that you pointed out would equate to the romaji Suukuna(in English this sounds like Sลซkuna), the way Sasuke is often pronounced to the romaji of Sasuuke. Mixing languages makes things confusing because romaji is not a correlate of English pronunciation. |

| am I getting this right...you're complaining about the sub, right? With native japanese speakers? And you're presuming that you know japanese better than the native japanese voice actors?? What?? Others have already said why it's pronounced the way the characters pronounce it, but still, the audacity is astounding. |

| I choose to spread the Curse. but what does it mean again? |

| Wanna be really mad with how people pronounce names? Be a Haikyuu fan lol. You might even give up and get over it. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| What? I always pronounce Sukuna as in Su-ku-na so you're saying we should pronounce it as S-ku-na? |
