You were paying attention.
Here are some others:
McDonals:
Ma ku do na lu du
Garage
Ga ra gi
Gasoline
Ga so rin
Burger King
Bu ga ra kin gu. |

I don't get why Forty Niners isn't fo ra ti ni na ers, based on the logic. Based on some dislike of the "r" sound, it makes sense though. But then why the BK pronoucement you have?
So confusing.

Sometime they leave out vowel consonent combinations because the word gets to long.
Like the word Mark (for the whiskey).
It is Maku in Japanese. Not Maruku.
Or Milwakee
Mi Wa Ki

Yeah, but it seems like when there's a consonant-syllable left out, it's usually/frequently either an "R" or an "L" -- do those sounds exist in Japanese?

It is the same sound. As the joke goes. That is L as in Rondon and R as in Lome. |

This seems so impractical as to stymie the development of an advanced civilization capable of making very small radios. Next you'll be telling us that another number is a homonym for "took into the body by the mouth" and still another is a homonym meaning "also." Those inscrutable Asians!

It is pronounced:

You got it. If you want to check this out Google look up Katakana which is the phonetic alphabet to spell out foreign words. |

Japanese easy to recognize
That is how you tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese words. Japanese speech and words are stacato. That is why Japanese pronunciation is pretty easy (although the Grammar is unbelievably complicated).
Yamashita
Kobeyashi
Hitachi
Tengu
Bushido
kanazawa
Hiroshima
nagasaki
Where Chinese and Korean words are not stacatto. They use many more vowels and different tones can completely change meaning. However, I hear their grammer is just like English. Subject verb Object (or subject compliment).
Anyone know any Chinese words.
I just know Gung Hey fat choy (which in Japanese is Gungu Heya fatu choya)

Hank's mom never really got out of Detroit much but back when I used to know her (in a biblical way, praise be the lord, babyjesuschristsuperstar) she liked to role play a lot. One night she invited me over for Chinese food. Said her specialty was Cantonese.
She served one dish, Hai. Raw but heated.
Good thing for her I brought a big serving of ku ku cheow, so no one went hungry that night.
