STOP THE CONFUSION X_x

heres a history lesson:

in japanese, tamago means egg and chi means cute, so tamagotchi means cute egg

you pronounce like tama-goh-chee, NOT tama-gahtch-ee

as for the names of some of the tamas, the ending is just CHEE, not TEE-CHEE or TA-CHEE

take Patapatatchi : im 99.99% sure its pronounced PAT-AH-PAT-A-CHEE! please remember these tricks it pronounce the tama's name! its CHEE not TEECHEE or TACHEE remember its japanese!

Thank you. Many of the people here are native to the English language, and have not yet studied a foreign language. While I knew all of the above infomation, I'm still appreciative of your sharing it with those who may not have known it. It is helpful.

It really annoys me when people say Ta-ma-gU-chi. Some people just pronounce it that way but some say it because there is a rumor at my cuz's school that tama-go-chi means underwear. I totally think it is fake.

ta,

**Miss Priss**

 

[tamalex]

tama-g-o-chi.

 

[Banoon]

The Japanese pronounce it Ta-Ma-Goo-Chee

Well some people have an accent and when they go to spell I word how it seems right to them its actually wrong to us. Its the same Tama got chi, ta ma got chee, whatever, its not there fault or ours. Oh and some people are really young and might not know how to pronouce something properly and then when they go to spell tamagotchi they forget and just spell it how it sounds.

 

[cutie_pop]

it isn't ta-ma-gooooooooo-tchi, I'm Japanese and happy that someone actually made a topic about this!!!

its tah-mah-goh-(a little pause)-cheeeee

thats how Japanese pplz pronounce it, including moi.

I tend to be a little less anal retentive about it. "Baby, where's my blue one" or "My red Tam-ah is on his throne."

 

[phil is cool]

[nyatchi_chan]

I am ashamed... I have called my tamas (Tama-GA-chi) :furawatchi:

*Pokes Signature*. I have a pronounciation guide in there that I found on a Japanese site. It might not be accurate, but it gives you a good idea.

*Oh and I pronounce it Tam-uh-gaw-chee or Taw-ma-gaw-chee.

technically it can be both. there is a character for t, a small tsu I believe. So t-chi...both ways make sense.

And. Tamagotchi is a pun (the japanese LOVE puns, and use them alot.) of the words tamago (egg) and tomodachi (friend). So it means egg friend.

And I thought chi meant blood...?
