Huh?

[stray aurora]

Who the fuck says the 2nd one😭

[marsh plume]

The 2nd one is how it's actually supposed to be pronounced

The name was changed to Mazda for international marketability

But in Japan, it's pronounced as Mat-su-dah

This is because 's name is based on two things

Ahura Mazda and Jujiro Matsuda

[stone sentinel]

Doesn't mean we should say it like that 🤷‍♂️

[graceful zodiac]

I'm absolutely saying it like that henceforth

Matsudah

[rancid zealot]

the Mazda pronunciation is fine by me but how does that mean we shouldn’t be saying it like Matsuda 😭

[storm flicker]

Im guessing because it’d be like trying to fake Japanese or smth?-

[rancid zealot]

unless it comes off as tryhardy and cringy then i think it’s fine

there’s even some cases where it’s more respectful
