Sort of dumb question: How do you pronounce "Crea"?

Japanese style word: Kanariya

English style word: Crea

If it were to be pronounced in english, it would be most likely pronounced "cree-ah" and not "cree" Because ... english just isn't like that at all. But if she pronounces it as ku ray ah then thats how it is. Although its probablly more like kraya, they just have a hard time dropping the "u."

Just because it is made up of Roman letters, doesn't mean it's not Japanese, just lok at the song SAKURAドロプス, with that logic, would you think that Sakura was an english word and drops was a Japanese word?

[gothicia]

i think it's kri eh.. i think Ku rei sounds possible.

[CREA]

It's pronounced "cray-uh". The Japanese for it is "ku re ya".

Crea is the you (formal) conjugation of the verb "to believe" or "to create".

[BanFan]

I always thought it was Ku-Ri-Uh, or Cree-Uh...Like Create.

[Chrono]

I just say Cree-ah. Don't care how the japanese pronounce it. It's the only way it doesn't sound silly to me

Yeah, same. I don't doubt that something like "Cray-ah" is more likely, but my mind processes it as "Cree-ah".

[sxesven]

I thought it was Cray-ah, like Skal pointed out.

[_CREA_]

I've always thought of it as "cray-ah". (or "ku-re-i-a", "ku-re-i-ya", etc.)

[walking proud]

i pronounce it "Creeah" like, "Korea" haha

[aYuH-evolution]

isn't it...cray-ah?

Katakana isn't only for english words, but for other languages that the words are borrowed from as well. ..like buranko no? (swing?)

And most japanese has spanish sounds/pronounciations like the vowels. In spanish, it would not be Cree, it would be creh-ah.

Fine.... be that way....

[Emira]

I have never even thought about it, how it should be pronounced, I just say it (if I even ever say it...) in a very finnish style.. Like the beginning of "creative" but a bit longer "e" there.

[ElegantAyu]

.....She pronounces it herself on Hey Hey Hey In the episode in which she shows her trophies and Crea & Maron off. She calls for Crea. To me, it actually just sounds like Claire with a little bit of an 'ah" on the end. You have to roll your Rs and Ls in Japanese so ... ><
