Kody @kodyisover.com · 17/02/2026triple disclaimer: this is just for English! say the T in Okamoto the same way you would the 'T' in water in your accent. and please do not try to say my name in Japanese if we are otherwise speaking English bsky.app/profile/kody...Kody@kodyisover.comPitch accent aside, I think the biggest difference between how I say my name in English vs in Japanese is something my partner pointed out! When we say my surname in English, the '-to'(と)goes from the Japanese [to] to a very soft alveolar tap [ɾo] (the same type of 't' in American English 'water') 280
