how the heck do you pronounce Taito ???

[ccovell]

You should know better than to think that translating like this:

Japanese -> English -> Japanese

would give identical results all of the time.

Taito means Far East, as in the Orient.

Tengai Makyou (天外魔境) roughly translates to "Evil boundary outside the heavens", so they obviously chose (rather loosely) an English phrase that had a nice ring to it.

In case you folks weren't familiar, "East of Eden" is a famous novel by John Steinbeck, so I'm pretty sure the makers of Tengai Makyou combined the phrases "far east" and "East of Eden" into a single pun.

I've always said tay-toe, and I don't care how the Japanese say it - this is America, dammit!

I'm sticking to tie-toe. It just sounds right.

[rainbow_bright]

I pronounce it Tai toe (rhymes with dye). I remember playing bust a move, and at the beginning it said "tai toe". Before that, it was always "tay-toe" to me Actually, where I live we have a crisps (potato chips) company, called Tayto. So I just pronounced it the same way.

I've always pronounced it as tay-toe. I hadn't ever heard it pronounced in a game, haha.
