How do we say that
Hir-ROSH-e-ma
or
Hir-ro-SHE-ma
I keep hearing both and don't know which is which.
I think its hir ROSH e ma (though it always used to be HeeRowSheMa when I was young.
(from Yahoo answers)
If you're asking which syllable has emphasis - the answer is NONE of them! Not many words in Japanese have an emphasis on a particular syllable - although when they DO, you find that it's different at opposite ends of the country..!
Hiroshima has an equal emphasis on all of it's syllables, and the rough pronunciation guide using the flat South East England accent (i.e. not with 'cat' being pronounced 'kyat') is
Hi (same as 'he' but with a short vowel sound)
ro (the r is halfway between an r and an l, and the o is pronounced like the 'o' in 'lock')
shi (just like 'she' with a short vowel sound)
ma (the 'a' sounds like the 'a' in 'map', 'cat', or 'wrap'.)
