manga how is it pronounced?

Question

i want to know because my cozin keeps nagging me bout it manga is it pronounced like monga or manga?

Answer 1

It's pronounced "man"-"ga".

Answer 2

I've heard it pronounced both mAnga and mOnga. I'm not sure which to tell you the truth. Maybe both are right.

Answer 3

You know mango? Just say mang as in Mango, and then instead of saying 'goh' at the end, say 'gah' so its Mang-gah' If you want to rub it into your cousins face, just go search manga on Wikipedia and click on the little button next to the word that will play a voice pronouncing 'manga'

Answer 4

Jennifer, the correct pronunciation is 'mang -ga," and it is a Japanese word for comics. See the link below and show it to your cousin so that he/she believes you. This link will directly lead you to Merriam-Webster's entry for the word 'manga.' There is a pronunciation button right beside the word. If you click on this red button, you will be able to hear the word correctly pronounced.

Answer 5

"Manga" is a japanese word, and in Japan it is pronounced "Mah-nga", however, it is almost always pronnounced "Mane-ga" here in the states, to the point where it's practically correct. Kind of like how people here say "Ann-ih-may" instead of "Ah-ni-me".

Answer 6

If it's like La Manga in Spain I would say it chimes with anger.

Answer 7

Man - ga

Answer 8

Answer 9
