Is it really cow-key? I always thought of it was coo-key. I guess that makes sense.

I believe its...

ko-oo (as in cool)-kee

because its made up of the japanese characters ko, u, and ki.I'm not 100% sure though, but from japanese class that's how i would pronounce it. I'll ask my Japanese professor when i get back to school. Zenki, and chuki are pretty straight forward, pignose is a tough one though. haha

Them Japanese are weird, that's for sure. I always thought it was koo-key but I guess I could understand it being cow-key.

I was just watching pokemon (in japanese with english subs) and noticed that takeshi (USDM Brock) is pronounced taka-shay and not tak-ee-she.

Why dont we just call them the following:

S14a

S14b

DOHC S13

SOHC S13

Life would be so much easier that way

haha. i didnt know people thought these words were pronounced differently than they really are.

when i first read all of them, i just assumed that it was zen-kee, koo-kee and choo-kee.

kouki cody just makes me think of you as a cartoon character. "cooky" kind of.
