Yea that would have been

 

[Nikki Nitro]

I keep seeing it as Asuka though

 

[Just Kevin]

Yes, hon.. the spelling and pronunciation are different.. that's all.

 

[Firewall]

Like asooka?....

 

[Nikki Nitro]

Oh

 

[Just Kevin]

Just like Shinsuke is pronounced "Shin-Skay"

 

[Jacob Fox]

that's how Japanese words are generally pronounced. Almost all Japanese syllables are a consonant followed by a vowel

 

[Rosie]

I'm still just drained from the whole Undertaker not coming out thing

 

[Jacob Fox]

if the vowel is followed by anothe consonant and vowel, then the preceding vowel is slightly slurred into the consonant

 

[Rosie]

Like, as much as it'd be better for him to retire, you build up for four weeks...and nothing

 

[Nikki Nitro]

@Just Kevin, Ah, I see. Okay

 

[Just Kevin]

@Jacob Fox, Thanks!

 

[Jacob Fox]

that's not universal

 

[bullyballmm]

I am happy Undertaker didn't come out

 

[Jacob Fox]

but happens mostly with "su"
