Hi there,
Could you write down how do you pronounce the word "Soul" in Japanese? Also how do you write it.
If there is any way for me to HEAR it out load that would be great!
Thank you

Soul = 魂

Now the hard part, the pronunciation. In romatized Japanese, it's "tamashii". I don't like to describe it this way as if it were an English word, but try saying Tah-mah-shee. I will look for a video...

So we have: Tah-mah as in "tamaguchi" and Shee as "She" but a bit longer?

Thanks!

You will hear the word at around 0:19 and again around 0:30.

Just to point out, it's the "damacy" in "Katamari Damacy"
