kinda the same way

oo-bow-uh

I always pronounced it uw-bow-a until some weeaboo japafag said it was "u-hwah"

I kinda say both

oo (ie Deedee "oo what does this button do?)
bow (ie bow & arrows)
uh (ie "Uh...")

Sadly, yew-bow-ah

>I always pronounced it uw-bow-a until some weeaboo japafag said it was "u-hwah"

It's based off that onomatopoeia but said weeaboo japfag is wrong. Ooh-bow-ah.

>>1568

lol.language fail.
ho<bo
i can see why there would be a mix up, but yeah, it's OO-BOW-AaaaAAAAAAAあああああ

U (as in french U. without the "you" sound.)
bo (bo)
A (french a)

>>1567

Same here :/
yoo - BOW - ah.

in spanish we have the same vowels as the japanese.

so, i say Uboa... ._. ... well, i cannot use here the phonems, but i hope you understand.

U - "oo" like in "moo"
bo - like "oh"
a - like the undefinite article. XD lol

>>1584
Yeah, I also pronounce it like this :L

>>1584
same here!

>>1573
Bos before hos.

Japanese has the same pronunciation every time. U is not the same as yu. Watch this if you don't know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66oM4N0BCtY

I dunno about anyone else who pronounces it like this, but... "Yoo-boa" is just tons easier to say, for me.
I know how it's supposed to be pronounced, but I have trouble with "Oo-boa." D:

I pronounce it oo-bwah, after hearing LoudMan pronounce it that way in his LP. I thought that was the common way, but apparently not.

I don't think that it's something like "you-bow-ah".
Well, I'm not american, my pronounce is different, something like oo-boh-ah.
I'm brazilian, so I say something like that. D:

Aqui a pronúncia é como nós escrevemos, então se eu escrevo "uboa", eu falo "u-bo-a". :3

yeah i used to think it was "you" "bow" "eh"

i pronounce it as ooh-boh-aahhhhh~

ehhh even though its the same thing as oobowuh i feel awkward reading it like that.

Oooooooooo
Boh
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Oooo (as in soup)
Bohh (as in a bow for one's hair)
And the long 'A' sound, (as in the sound that haunts so many nightmares [not to mention the noise that many people make upon finding him for the first time]: aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~)

U"ooo" sound like saying like in "you") boa(like boa constrictor snake)

But sometimes...I add a letter in my brain for some reason! I kept calling him "Udoba"
(U-doh-ba) like that...for some reason that "d" wants to fit in my mind! haha)

U - as in über
bo - as in bond (I guess)
a - as in AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

If I had money I'd hire a choir to sing Uboa's name, with the "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" being a differnet note for each person singing.

I go by Japanese pronunciation because of the creator's nationality. Ooh-hard bo-ah. "Yoo" would butcher the word, from a moonspeak standpoint.

lern2 IPA, fools!

/u:'bəʊə/, or something.

>>1884

>>1884

How did you write that?... i want to write the phonemic transcrption too!

>>1854

うぼあ

>>1911

IPA character picker, mhmm.

Either OObowa or You-bowa. I can't decide.

"Uwe Boll"

oo-Bow-a

>>1998

ooh-bo(like bow, without the w) ah.
That just makes sense in Hebrew punctioning. (I used to get english words wrong a lot for obvious reasons, but not japanese stuff)

If there's anyone here that speaks portuguese...
I pronounce it like "boa" (as in "boa noite" or something) with a normal 'u'. It kinda sounds like "úbôa"

>>2005
Oi, olha eu aqui. -q
It's hard to explain the pronounce... I'll try to record me saying "Uboa" on a video (I can't record only the sound, I'm poor okay...)

>>2026
That was me.
Ffff- always forgeting to put my name.

ew - Bow - Ah.
Uuu Boa.

>>2027
why so baka, otome?

>>2125
rimshot.mp3

"oo" (like in "zoo") "bo" (like in "oboe") "uh" (like in "duh")

Just pronounce it like it sounds.

U-bo-ah

I've only ever heard it pronounced as Ahbwaa by Loudman.

Yume Wiki says it's based off of Uhoa, that japanese karate scream or whatever.

I've always pronounced it Ubuua.

ubwwwwaaaaaahhh~

Actually, it's Ubwa. People spell it Uboa because they mistake the ァ at the end for an ア. An easy mistake to make considering that ボ and ァ never go together. But since other o-sounds followed by ァ add a wa sound to the consonant of the o-sound, it should be pronounced "Oo-bwa".

After that dripping-with-weeaboo UBUUUUUUU! pic, Ubu fits 'im. That, or hurrrrrrr-boa. Can't look at that face without making a sound effect. HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I used to pronounce it "Ooo-Bow-Ah". You know, like Bow and Arrow type Bow. :I

U like in ultimate
Bo like in botanical.
A like in after.
So it sounds like U + Boa, like the snake.
A slithly extended O.
