How do you pronounce Majin Buu?

Have you no knowledge of the Japanese language?
I will explain with close English approximations, then.
MA (like what you could call your mother)
JEAN (Like the pants)
BOO (Like what you say to people on Halloween)
Thus, it's pronounced MAJEAN BOO.
That wasn't too hard, was it?

That's how I thought. But this one guy insisted that it's pronounced. Maeeeeen
Buu. So, since he's older then me, I had to make sure I was right. I'm right.

I've been teaching myself Japanese for a while (I'm so proud o' myself) so I must
add that the "n" in Majin Buu is a syllable all by itself, as is the second "u",
so Majin Buu is 5 syllables long: Ma (1) - ji (2) - n (3) - Bu (4) - u (5).

Not really. "jin" is still one syallable, albeit 2 hiragana (if written
that way). Same with "Buu", it's a longer pronouciation of "u" NOT "Bu-u".
Buu and Jin are one syallable each, but two hiragana. Otherwise it'd be
pronouced Ma-ji-un Bu-u. But it isn't, it's pronounced like I said.

I may be wrong (likelihood of error in Japanese matters- high), bit isn't
the kanji "Jin" as in "Saiya-jin" and "Ma-jin" pronounced...errrr...how
would you write that...like "Djinn"?

That's what....

"Majen Boo".
I do not know if that is correct. Is it?

You imply that the 'n' would have to be pronounced as a separate syllable,
but it wouldn't (and isn't) ji and n run together to from a one syllable
'jin' This is kind of like what happens to the sentence copula 'desu,' it
is two syllables, but (depending on the dialect) runs together to form
'des' Same thing happens for suki (like), it runs together and sounds like
'ski'. However, some dialects do pronounce desu and suki as two separate
syllables. But I doubt any would with Maji-n ;-)
Okay, I'm done being picky. ;-)

The same reason I don't want to learn Spanish. He doesn't care for the
language that much.

Yeah, I was just being picky myself, but you guys just shot me down. I do know about
the whole it's-a-syllable-but-don't-pronounce-it thing, and I kinda figured Majin Buu
was said without the extra syllables, but.... Hmmm, I guess I was trying to show off.
Bad me. Oh well; now I'm humbled. Arigatou to you and Mirai Matt ;')
