pronounced "RAH'-men"...

fivezero Dec 2, 2003

YES!

bizarret Dec 3, 2003

That was sarcasm for all you PA weirdos... It's pronounced "RAY-men"!!!

dgiaimo Dec 3, 2003

No. It's definitely pronounced rah-men. (Ask anyone who speaks Japanese.)

bizarret Dec 3, 2003

wow, you speak Japanese??!!!

dgiaimo Dec 3, 2003

Not really. I took a couple of years of it in college recently, but I'm rapidly forgetting it.

My uncle through marriage is japanese, born and raised. i JUST called him. he said that in many dialects they say Ray-men, whereas others say rah-men. and they are both widely accepted...

Well, my Aunt is Japanese and she said it's always Rah-men.

Really? That's quite surprising. I don't think I've ever heard a Japanese speaker pronounce 'ra' that way. Did he mention which dialects pronounce it that way? I don't doubt that he knows more about this than I, but in the standard Tokyo dialect it's definitely pronounced rah-men.

bizarret bizarretOG 2003

well he's from tokyo, at least right outside...

he said that they do say both, but in the hood they say ray-men.
