イグナシオ

Does this look like "Ignacio" for you?

in a way, sure. Is it supposed to have a long "a"? Because the Japanese version doesn't have a long "a", you need to pull some shenanigans if you wanted that.

Don't forget to put pronunciation, as it seems that's the key factor to do it:

@KemoKa

iɣˈnaθjo

eeeeeehehehehehehhhhh... not really. The only punctuation you have in Japanese is 。、and 「」. Pretty much any other commonly-used punctuation that they use is borrowed from European languages. And there aren't any apostrophes.

 

He got it right the first time.

Punctuation? I didn't say anything about that :huh:

oh, whoops, dammit. Misread pronunciation as punctuation. Derp.

Show off in one language while failing at another that you natively speak... go me.

In any case, IPA is the entire reason that students in Japan are incapable of speaking English, so... I'll tell you the pronunciation, but I ain't using IPA. Fuck that shit

iɣˈnaθjo

It would be イグナシオ / I-gu-na-shi-o

Little note here for everyone - and people in Europe will do better with this because the pronunciation of words in European languages is not lazy like British or American English -

 

In Japanese, the vowels. Do. Not. Change. EVER.

There are five of them, あ、い、う、え、and お。

                                     a    i    u   e           o

 

A is always a sharp, short A,

I is always a sharp, long E,

U is always a sharp, long U or OO,

E is always a sharp, short E

O is always a sharp, long O.

They don't change, and every syllable in the Japanese syllabus, all the derivative syllables, all that nonsense that you learn later, uses one of theses five vowels.
