    It’s pronounced Muh-HAHN, very similar to how you say mahogany. At least that’s how I was taught it in the Navy. OFC, the Navy also taught me to pronounce leeward as lew-ward, forecastle as fo’c’sle, and drinking fountain as scuttlebutt.

    • @davebell4917
      @davebell4917 Год назад +1

      Albert Thayer Mahan was a huge influence on naval strategy but the emergence of submarines and aircraft spoiled his focus on capital ships.
      That sounds a bit familiar.
      But Mahan did not think the Philippines could be defended.
      I have read "The Influence of Sea Power..." and another huge change that makes his thinking obsolete is the appearance of wireless - instant ocean-spanning communications - though his accounts of battles show how the development of flag signaling paid off for the Royal Navy.
      I wouldn't trust the vowel sounds I use for his name, the IPA has weaknesses in vowel sounds because it tries to assign definite sounds to different parts of a fuzzy blob. Then the stress on the second syllable affects the sound.
      Those American examples feel odd to me, too close to a "schwa" but that is something genuinely American. Your example from "Mac" names brings in Irish and Scots accents, which bring in the "Is it a language?" question. At best, that makes a risky guide.
      There are a lot of Lincolnshire connections to early American history. Since it is World Dracula Day I shall only mention that Sir John Smith (Jamestown / Virginia) was knighted by the Prince of Transylvania.

    There are a lot of subtleties to Japanese pronunciation but if you're curious Azuma is written in three characters a zu ma. Japanese follows a rhythm where each syllable is pronounced on one beat or count. The a and ma rhyme, the zu rhymes with zoo but for perfect pronunciation you avoid elongating the vowel. But the way you typically pronounce it is more than adequate for someone who doesn't speak Japanese.

    1:33 "AH-zu-ma" is basically* the correct pronunciation. Same with most three-syllable Japanese words, like "YA-ma-to," "MO-ga-mi," "MI-ka-sa," etc.
    *I say "basically" because strictly speaking, I think most native Japanese speakers would tell you Japanese is a "flat" language where you don't actually put a lot of emphasis on any one syllable. But as native English speakers used to putting emphasis on certain syllables, putting a little emphasis on the first syllable of most three-syllable words in Japanese (as opposed to the second syllable, which seems to be most native English speakers' natural inclination) will get you pretty close.

    • @zackakai5173
      @zackakai5173 Год назад +1

      A few more basic tips on Japanese pronunciation for anyone interested (I could go more in detail than this, but I wanted to keep the points relatively brief):
      1. VOWEL SOUNDS! There are only five vowel sounds in Japanese. A ("ah"), I ("ee"), U ("oo"), E ("eh" or "ey"), and O ("oh"). If you think you're hearing another vowel sound (like "aye"), it's probably actually two of the other sounds put together in quick succession ("ah ee"). Double, triple, and sometimes even quadruple vowels aren't uncommon in Japanese.
      2. A lot of times, vowels will effectively get "dropped" from words, like the u in "Akatsuki" ("ah-KA-ts-ki"). Technically you're still giving it the length of the full four syllables (although if you're not used to hearing Japanese spoken at full speed, you could be forgiven for thinking it was being condensed down to three syllables), but the "breath" has been taken out of the vowel sound. This can also happen at the end of words, most commonly with I and U. "KA-wa-chi" might sound like "KA-wa-ch," "MU-tsu" might sound like "MU-ts," etc. Again, you're still technically saying the full length of the syllable, but the vowel sound is kind of lost. Worth noting that this can vary greatly between individual speakers and regional dialects, as some Japanese speakers will more fully annunciate those vowel sounds.
      3. The "Japanese R" sound, which is sort of an R, an L, and sometimes a little bit of a D all rolled together. There are tons of videos out there on how to learn to pronounce this, but it basically involves touching the area right behind the tip of your tongue to the ridge on the roof of your mouth.

    Thank you for giving respect to the Mahan at the end of the video. You're right, Mahan is not a very good destroyer and it does not uptier well at all, especially in a carrier game. But man, he put in WORK. Not only did he nuke the friendly Fletcher, but also killed the friendly Jean Bart with the shit tier torpedoes that the Mahan gets. That's two top tier, very deadly ships that he took out early on before they had much of a chance to impact the battle. He did his best to keep the win all the way to the end. If you're reading this, Mahan player, I salute you.

    "Straat" is telling, that's deffo Dutch for "Street".
    We Germermans usually do not deal in double a's - double o's yes, even double e's at times, but not double a's.
    Except of course when glueing otherwise innocent words together to compounds as we are want to do every now and then ...

  • @pauloakwood9208
    @pauloakwood9208 Год назад

    Mahan, is pronounced Ma-han. He was an American naval officer who after a nondescript career at sea was assigned as a professor in the US Naval Academy. There he wrote a book that was translated into many languages and became required reading in Japan and European Capitals. He became known as one of the most important strategist of the nineteenth century. In Mahan's books he argues that throughout history no Empire or major power has lasted long without seaborne trade and a strong navy to protect it. Mahan's books also kick off the Battleship race among nations when he predicts that future naval wars between peers and near peers will be decided by decisive engagements between whole fleets where big gun battleships will play the most important role. Mahan's writings influenced The Battle of Jutland in WW I and the Japanese obsession with fighting a decisive naval battle in WW II.

  • @ahseaton8353
    @ahseaton8353 Год назад

    As an old US Navy brat, I've always heard it pronounced mah-HAN. However he is always called Afred Thayer Mahan. He is the semi-official God of the Navy, and his book The Influence of Sea Power on History is the Navy's semi-official Bible. It has been argued that it was his theories that led the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor, so it may have backfired on us.

    • @RedXlV
      @RedXlV Год назад

      Japan based their naval strategy on an oversimplified version of Mahan's theories, which led them to the conclusion that the best way to win a war was to win a single decisive battle that crushes the enemy fleet. In reality, Mahan's doctrine was that winning such a battle gives you *control of the seas,* which is extremely valuable but not the automatic "I win" button the IJN seemed to think.
      Japan also failed to recognize that the usual way a nation that has control of the seas can defeat their enemy without needing to fight any further battles (by blockading their ports until they surrender) simply can't work on the United States, because Japan would in the absolute best-case scenario still only have been able to blockade the west coast, which would be far from crippling to the US economy.

    Hey our Mighty overlord Jingles. As a humble salt mining worker since 2014, have you ever thought about bringing back a couple of classics, like.. The Good the bad and the ugly series? Or your forgotten cooking channel? I've recently been going back on your videos, its always great having your voice in the background while I'm cooking dinner for the family.. Anyway I will be returning to my duties in the salt mine. Much love from a South African living in China 😊

    16:31 Mathematically, they are not going to catch up before the match ends. 912 with once cap to 789 with two caps would be 1000 to 877 when the team with one cap reaches 1000. So it is actually the other team that as to do something, like blocking a cap most likely.
