Yes, if it's of Japanese origin then you should pronounce it \nTa - like the ta in tack,\nKa - to rhyme with ta\nMee - sounds like 'me' as in I\nNeh - to rhyme with the 'de' in delicatessen!.\n\nBut expect to get a few suspicious looks from people who are too ignorant to believe that they don't know how to pronounce Japanese words! The number of people I've heard say 'tempyooora' instead of 'tenpura'!\n; )

The Chinese kick a can down the street and whatever sound it makes is the new baby's name...Ting, Ching, Ling and so on and so forth....\n\nBut honestly, it is the father or father's side (in my case, my paternal grandmother) who names the children. The first character is the surname, taken from the father. The second and third characters are the given names. The second character, I was told, is the "generation" name and in my family it is the same for all my sisters...but I find that this is not always true. The last character is the individual's name.\n\nAs four of my siblings were born in the United States, they have both a chinese name and a "legal" name. For their legal "western" names, their first names were chosen by our parents and their middle names are actually the enunciated form of their chinese names and of course, the surname is our father's surname.\n\nIn the Chamorro (indigenouse people of Guam) culture, it is common for the child's middle name to be the mother's maiden name. A woman then changes her middle name to become her maiden surname when she marries...or just adds it on. So a female child borm to Mary Taitano and John Cruz would be Lisa Taitano Cruz. When she marries, she would be Lisa Cruz Castro or Lisa Taitano  Cruz Castro. Hope that was easy enough to follow.

A computer is called 'SangaNak' in Hindi/Sanskrit. The 'N' is pronounced like the 'N' in 'baaN' (arrow). It's a literal translation of 'Computer' : 'GaNana' means computation in Sanskrit, so sangaNak is 'that which computes' in Hindi/Sanskrit.\n\nDon't know about Punjabi though.

The pronunciation should be as follows:\nPOSOL'STVO\nPO - as in "paw"\nSOL - as in "solar" only with a soft L\nSTVO - just as is with the O at the and similar to the one at the beginning.

Hello :-) ! Am from Luxembourg (it is an independent country, even if it is tiny LOL)...\n\nWe say "(Gudde) Moien" (Morning!) when it is morning, "(Gudde) Mëtteg" (Midday) during midday and afternoon, "Gudden Owend" (Good evening) in the evening :o) ... or "Salut!" (Hello!) or the more polite  "Bonjour!" like they also do in France, but with a more "slang" pronunciation LOL.\n\nIn Germany, they say "Hallo!" or "Guten Tag!" (Good day!)...\n\nIn Irish, they say "Dia dhuit!" (Hello or good day or lit. "God greets", I think).\n\nHave a nice day :-) !

This is a tough one.  How does your boss pronounce the word?\n\nOften, people change the "t" in "quantify" to a softer "d" sound so it sounds like "kwandifai."\n\nOthers leave it out entirely so it sounds like "kwannifai."\n\nIn both cases, they start with kwan, which sounds to me like "kuwan" an informal form of the verb "kuu" which means to eat.  To eat is usually translated to "taberu" but "kuu" has a baser hungrier meaning.  That sounds giggle-worthy to me.  :-)\n\nThere aren't any words that are close to "nifai", but "fai" by itself is close to "faibu" (the final bu is not always very loud), which means "five."\n\nI remember a similar incident while I was teaching English at a Japanese Junior High and every time I said "Ready, set, GO!"  the class would giggle.  It turned out that the rhythym of the words was very similar to a slogan for a popular moth repellant on TV that went "Tansu ni GON!"  \n\nI didn't think it was funny / similar at the time, but something like that could have been going on their heads.  It could be a way to initiate some conversation with members of the group, if that is still possible.  After all, shared experiences are a good foundation for a lasting relationship.

HELLO    : Teanastëllën(pronounced teen-ass-tell-an) or the informal way is also(as in goodbye) SALAM(pronounced sall-aam)pronounced all together in rapiditiy.. sallaam.. by the way, this SALAM is also heavily arabic. I used  that word in hello and goodbye in Mauritania and other Arab countries.\n\n\nGoodbye: To a man: Dehna hun (pronounced day-na hun--as in hunt).. that is to a man in somewhat formal tones.\n\nGoodbye: to a man in somewhat informal: SELAM (prounounced say-laam)\n\nThank you:  Amesegënallô(as in: Ame-segi-na-lew ) thus, pronounced as: amay-saygi-nah-lou)\n\nThis langukage is used a log in Ethiopia, Egypt and even Israel

I'm going to say how it is pronounced in brazilian portuguese, since he is brazilian. In european portuguese it would be very different.\n\nRO - kind of like the HO in "home", but the "h" has to be a little stronger, like if you were speaking english with french accent :o)\n\nNAL - exactly like NOW\n\nDI - exactly like GEE, the expression of surprise we often hear in the movies :o)\n\nNHO - "nh" has the same sound as the spanish ñ (like in Espanã), and the "o" is pronounced almost like a "u"\n\nSo it would be something really close to HO-NOW-GEE-ÑU. The stress is in the "DI" ("GEE").
