How do you pronounce "Tengen"

Just curious of how everyone says it . I have heard ten-jen, tang-en, ten-jen, and a few others, but what is the correct way?

Correct.... who knows, I say Ten-jen.

**Sylentwulf** · 11-17-2002, 09:36 PM

I say Ten-jin myself.

It's Ten-gen with a hard 'g' as in 'get'.

Like 'Atari,' it's a word used in the game of go.

I say it like "Tenjen".

Looks like I've been pronouncing it right (ten-gen with a hard g).

Ten-Jen sounds so much cooler.

Yep, that's the ticket.

(Once again I get to use my year of Japanese. Whoo-hoo!)
