pronunciation of sage

Name: Anonymous 2008-10-18 8:53

Am i the one who pronounce "sage" as [seɪdʒ] even if they know it's a Japanese word and shall be [sage]? It's some kind of reflex, i can't do it another way.

Stop it. That's like pronouncing meme as "mee-mee"

I can't say I've ever had cause to say it aloud, but I do think it that way when on 4chan, mostly because of how people will post pictures of the plant and suchlike.

You're all stupid. Stop thinking that way.

sage came from a Japanese word 下げる meaning to lower.
basically a holdover from 2chan

meme is from an English word. cant remember what, but i think its on Encyclopedia Dramatica.

I'm Finnish and I pronounce sage like the Japanese do (i.e. the CORRECT way). People who say [seɪdʒ] are idiots and need to die.

You're already a weeaboo if you use sage.

Sage comes from the Japanese verb 下げる (sageru), "to lower (e.g. head, volume), reduce; dismiss"
