If you aren't careful with the last two Syllables, it will sound like 'day'.  If you're familiar with Japanese and how it's pronounced, then pronounce the vowels in that manner. :)

And while I know not all the pronounciations are correct according to the owners, I can't help myself.  I'll try to pronounce them properly from now on.

Ninaine - Nee- neye-neh



Nope. Nye (like eye)- naine (long a, rhymes with rain)

Suzee

Nope - Tess - ay - da

The first syllable definately in cludes the 'ss' sound

Amanda N

It's prounced the same way either way, just depends on how you break it up phoenetically I think. :}

emma

There is a slight difference, and my golden girl tells me it matters ;)

Amanda N

LOL...unfortunately they sound the same in my head.  Maybe my brain is broken. >_<

Suzee

Actually the difference is slight but its there. There would be a glottal stop between the SS and AA sounds in Emma's version.

Amanda N

Okay, now I'm even more confused.  Emma, I seriously wanna pronounce it right.  I now, I'm weird.  You wouldn't be willing to record  it would you? *G*

emma

I'm guessing it's 'cos I talks proper English ;)

Amanda, you are saying "Tehseada"  and Emma is saying "Tesssssseada" :P Does that help? You are putting an "eh" sound in there and Emma is not but is hitting a strong SSS sound. Like... SSSSSSSnake =P hehehe
