How do you pronounce kawaii? (5 pts!!)?

Question

Kawaii means cute in Japanese.

Answer 1

kah-wai-ee

Answer 2

cow + I + e

(i suppose you pronounce the animal cow with A, not as in coworker*, right?)

(that's a capital i there, like in "You & I")

(that's e as in eagle)

* if you pronounce it with a big O, it will mean "scary"

Ps. It's okay, 5pts is fine with me.

(here come the thumbs down, yahoo!)

Answer 3

If you're going to romanize the word, the spelling would be "Kawai."

I recommend:  "kuh-WHY."

Do itashi mashite.

No no... it is *similar* to Hawaii, but the pronunciation is still different.

Oh, don't say it like this,

Kuh-Wai.

You'll sound silly!

Say the two outloud.

The second one sounds like a person who has no knowledge in pronouncing japanese words. o_O
