How do you pronouonce Yosei, Keiga, and Kokusho? Is there a "correct" way to say their names? Someone at FNM kept telling me its "Yo-Sigh" whenever I said "Yo-Say". I've heard it both ways. What are your opinions?

Yosei:
Yo-Say
or
Yo-Sigh

Keiga:
Key-gah
or
Kigh-gah

Kokusho:
Kuh-Koo-Show
or
Ko-Koo-Show (said quickly)

I say "Yo-Say" even though I think it is pronounced "Yo-Sigh".

"Key-Ga"

"Co-Koo-Show"

But that's just me.

In Japanese it's Yo-say, Kay-ga, Ko-koo-show. There is no emphasis on syllables in Japanese but if you were to say the Japanese pronounciation in an American way, those would be it.

To get the igh sound you are talking about, it would need to be spelled "yosai" and "kaiga", when spelled ei(yosei, keiga) it produces an A sound.

"White Dragon"
