Exactly like Ryu and Ken pronounce it in the original game. Ha-doo-ken! Emphasis on the doo. Repeat until your best friend is dead and calls you a cheater. Move on to Mortal Kombat knowing full well you're picking Scorpion...

Edit: Hadouken spam for reference.

"Ow, that hurts!"

I'm seeing a lot of wrong answers, and as a native speaker, I must interject.

How. Do. Ken.

How do, Ken?

Thank you.

is it second syllable that is accented? as in ha-DOU-ken kom-BU-cha pa-NER-a bread?

[–] skulblaka@startrek.website 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Precisely

Edit: I have discovered that I can annoy my girlfriend by saying kombucha in the same intonation as Ryu says hadouken and it is very excellent

No. Japanese doesn't have accented syllables. It's all pronounced at a steady tone or with emphasis placed where it makes sense in context.

[hadoːkẽꜜɴ]

Or if the IPA is not helpful:

"Ha" as in "hard" but with a shorter vowel, not the æ thing from "had".

"Door" without the R - the stress is here (hadouken). The important part is avoiding "oh" which sounds extremely thickly Anglo ("chipoohhhtlayyyyyy")

Ken is ken, I guess.

Where is this silly little creature from?

[–] Linkyu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

That's Kuromi, a Sanrio character. She's the rival of My Melody (Hello Kitty's best friend).
