To be fair, when the title comes up it also straight-up just says "House" on the title card. The intended title is the English word "House," it's just that Japanese has a system of translating English words into their native pronunciation where the consonant "s" at the end of the word is represented by the phonetic sound "su," which often also gets dropped when speaking quickly or casually. That said, it's not "pretentious" to pronounce it "Hausu" either. If the intent is to stay truer to the original pronunciation, if anything I'd call it respectful. It's only pretentious if someone insists that's the only correct way to pronounce it and that anyone who doesn't say it like that is wrong, which isn't what Adum's doing here. Ironically the redditors who argue the opposite are being the pretentious ones, with the whole "anyone who pronounces it the other way is [insert pejorative]." It's just a word, within reason people can pronounce it however they like.
Yes, and in general "correct language" is by definition a misnomer. If many people say something "wrong" then it became correct; it's how Dictionaries are written OFFICIALLY; the dictionary writer has an obligation to go about it like "well.. this word didn't exist last year.. but this year we have to amend".
Technically you can say the u at the end of words like desu. It’s more slang to drop the u so It is possible that the voice at the start of the film was trying to be more formal
Tbf, if the title is cooler or easier to say as its original foreign title ("La Pianiste" or "Gojira" or "Mattias et Maxime"), I'll call it that. But if it was localized for a reason, or if even the title itself is said in English in the movie itself ("Battle Royale", "Oldboy", "Life is Beautiful", "Pan's Labyrinth"), then yeah, no need to weeb it haha. "Hausu" does sound legitimately cooler, though.
But the movie literally opens with a voice pronouncing it a specific way. The movie is telling you how to pronounce the title explicitly, how can you argue with that?
As someone who has been on Reddit for the past ten years, it's gotten so much worse. The last five or so years, the content has just become rage bait, and the comments have turned into arguments with other users for no apparent positive outcome.
I blame the large subs on Reddit like AiTA and prorevenge being 99% ai created ragebait for the intention of being made into RUclips/tiktok content farming has garnered a certain userbase in the last few years who are just people that like getting angry
In the japanese alphabet, each character contains a consonant and a vowel (with some exceptions). When you write an english word in japanese, you have to kind of do your best approximation of what it would sound like. With "house," even though there's a character for "ho" in japanese, the character for "ha" (ハ) is actually used as it sounds closer to the soft "o" sound in "house", you can have vowels by themselves so the "u" is just ウ, but there's no way to write an "s" sound the way it's pronounced in "house," so the closest approximation you can really get is ス, "su". The only reason person in japan refer to the movie as "hausu" is because they can't read the english "house" on the poster, but they can read the japanese "hausu." Hausu does sound cooler, but I dont know if there's really an objectively correct pronunciation for an english speaker to use in this situation.
I'm an English teacher in Japan and most of my coworkers are native Japanese speakers who teach English. Even when they're pronouncing the word "house" in English they tend to say it more like "hausu" than "house." It's just what happens when you take an English word and transliterate it into Japanese phonetics.
Reddit used to have more respect, way back when the digg exodus happened and the people weren't that many. Today there's a very specific reason that makes Reddit absolutely cancerous; if you are not saying the most popular thing in the subreddit posted it you are practically CENSORED by the downvotes; hence it's practically IMPOSSIBLE to say anything in reddit that isn't already popular and already accepted so it's literally the death of new ideas.

Adums Autism comes in clutch.
He's my favourite flavour of autism
never argue with people on reddit.
i learned that early on
The thumbnail makes me wanna go to PayPal link Not Scoot Henson.
Same
That Scoot finisher is on point.
Redditors love to use “As a gen-you-ine citizen of knee-pawn-ji” whenever they start losing an argument about Japan

You’re not pretentious or even wrong. You’re just a weeb.
your argument has a severe problem. if youre right that means they got something wrong and for a redditor that is impossible

@@HOTD108_ did you read my whole comment?
I’ve made an attempt to stop arguing with people online in general. You won’t change anyone’s minds ever. Purposefully obtuse is exactly right
That moment when pronouncing something the only way you've ever heard before is being called pretentious:

"It's not Attack on Titan!!! It's called Shingeki no Kyojin!!!"
Does Attack on Titan open with a voice telling you it's really called that tho?
I saw this on Reddit b4 watching
(good lord is following the reply chain/thread of a single user’s homepage a f**king nightmare or what?)
Was trying to remember what this was called when Animal Well came out. There's a blue version of the scary cat in it.
house in japanese is "ie" (家)
True. Thats why i say Shinseiki Evangelion instead of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
And that's valid, brotha
you should be saying Ebangerion instead
I've never had a positive experience on Reddit
the word for house in japanese is 家 (ie) so hausu is fine. hausu is not the standard word for talking about a house. im about to fight the redditor
Imagine being on reddit for more than 2 house
In life

lol this was not what came to mind when seeing that title
Subtitles don’t lie, everyone else can take off
Maybe it's like the British Intrusive R, like "law," "Russia," and "spatula" don't have r's at the end, but sort of slip in due to the accent.
it's only as pretentious as they're being pedantic. They definitely get off on "correcting" others
I really hate how people have misused the word 'pretentious' as anything they vaguely hate.
i would like to see what subreddits scoot is on... or matbe i wouldn't
To think I use Reddit is to fundamentally misunderstand who I am
Redditors are a different breed of being
Tbh the movie’s pronunciation doesn’t really sound like Hausu, the “oo” is there but it’s pretty subtle
Yeah, but also who cares
@@luiginastro8831 that’s true, but I’m not the one who posted this clip
Should we call it Monsters Inc or Monsters Incorporated?
I do think it's more pretentious to say house instead of hasu
Embarrassing.
The redditor's Japan glazing is so condenscending........ 😬😬😬😬😬😬
