Today's
PSA is about how to pronounce "Kuretake". Kuretake is a Japanese stationery brand especially known among calligraphers for their brush pens and watercolors. I have no idea what the name itself means, but this is how to pronounce it!
"Kuretake" can be broken up like this: coo-ray-TA-kay. Here is a more in-depth explanation of the pronunciation syllable by syllable:
- coo: like in the word "cool", but almost like you're making a bird call
- ray: rhymes with "say"
- TA: the accented syllable, rhymes with "la"
- kay: like in the word "okay"
I hope this short little guide on how to pronounce "Kuretake" helped you out!
