      Jujitsu Terminology - Tom Hill

      damages.

      Japanese Pronunciation

      Unlike English vowels which have a large variety of pronunciations Japanese vowels are nearly always pronounced the same. Below is a simple explanation of Japanese pronunciation. In practice it is a bit more complicated;

      ‘a’ is pronounced as in ‘car’

      ‘i’ is pronounced as in ‘key’ or ‘kit’

      ‘u’ is pronounced as in ‘cool’

      Ura for example is ‘oora’

      ‘e’ is pronounced as in ‘pet’

      ‘o’ is pronounced as in coat’ or ‘cot’

      Two or three vowels together are pronounced separately eg. ‘ie’ is i-e. ‘Gaeshi’ sounds like the two English words, ‘guy-she’

      Consonants are pronounced usually the same as in English except that ‘g’ is always as in ‘go’. Two consonants together are both pronounced. For example hikkomi is pronounced hik-komi, but quickly.

      For example the ‘y’ in ‘Ryo’ or ‘gyaku’ is pronounced ‘i’ but never like the ‘y’ in ‘why’, ie; rio/giaku

      The ‘ts’ in ‘tsuri’ is pronounced like the ‘ts’ in ‘pits’.

      There is some help with the more difficult pronunciation in the bracketed text. This list is by no means complete but is intended to give a practitioner a comprehensive list of terms for most practical purposes while training - in alphabetic order in both English to Japanese and Japanese to English. Some systems may use slightly different spellings; such as Keri or Geri for ‘kick’.
