Talk:J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai

Pronunciation

I have not seen this series but I have seen gokaiger, and every time I hear this team's name it's pronounced "Jakku" not "Jacker" 76.166.147.43 (talk) 11:43, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

"I have not seen this series, but..." So you really don't have much to input here. But snarkiness aside, this is how it works.

This is the katakana for the name of the show/team- "ジャッカー" pronounced Jiyaka. The line at the end "ー" is called the chōonpu. It's used to denote a long vowel sound. When rendering English words into katakana, the chōonpu is often used to represent a syllable-final sequence of a vowel letter + r, which in English generally represents a long vowel if the syllable is stressed and a schwa if unstressed (in rhotic dialects it may additionally be an R-coloured vowel). For example, both "ar" and "er" are usually represented by a long ā vowel, with the words "number" and "car" becoming ナンバー (nanbā) and カー (kā).

In the case of JAKQ/ジャッカー it becomes Jacker, even though sometimes the pronunciation is Jakaa. The "R" is implied.

Any of the JAKQ merchandise that was rendered in English, the Title was Jacker. Enelsonian (talk) 04:28, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
