every language says 'a' like 'ahh', in English it's 'ayy' which sounds closer to 'e' and the English 'e' sounds like 'i' in Turkish, and Turkish is phonetically accurate like Japanese, where you can see how it works out with the words 'istanbul' and 'anime', but English is weird again by prolonging the 'e' at the end of anime

That was a lot more warnings than I was expecting but I’ll check it out, thanks!

Relevant question: anyone know how to pronounce “yaoi?” In my head, it’s yowie, but that doesn’t feel right

it's Lois but with Y instead of L, so it becomes Yaoi
Edith: oh fuck, Lois without the 's' being pronounced, so it's basically Loi

Wild, I did not expect that. Thank you! Do you know why it’s transliterated with an a?

Sorry, I don’t see an “ah” in Lois, was that just for the post “ya” vowels?

Fuck I accidentally used vowel harmony with Lois, you're correct, I am wrong when I used Lois as an example.
I am struggling to find an example where a single letter being switched allows you to full comprehend how to pronounce Yaoi
Let's make up an exercise
The 'a' in Yaoi is pronounced the same as the 'a' when you say 'ahhh' in an exasperated tone
The end of Yaoi Sounds similar to 'ie' in English, so 'oi' => '(w)ie'
So, it becomes like:
Yahh-wie

Japanese isn't transliterated with English pronounciation in mind, though.

That's pretty much it!
If you want to be pedantic about it, it's pronounced like
Or
In American English. (Stop pronouncing the words at the parenthesis). Better to learn IPA for this sort of questions

Platonically of course. /s
Man it's gotta be frustrating for people seeking such friendships, every description of what they want sounds like innuendo in text.
