Is it "Oh-vah" or "OH VEE AY"?
>>
It's actually OY VEY
>>
Oh-vah is how I go.
>>
OVA -> OH VEE AY
over -> OH VAH
>>

i say oh-vah and expect people to figure out that i'm not saying "over" when i use it as a noun
>>
I grew up saying Oh-vah because I grew up in a romance-language speaking country. Oh vee ay makes more sense for english.
>>
>>134724548
Same here.
>>
oh vee ayy

>>134723688

OVA(オーブイエー)
>>
>>134723688
Yes.
>>
>>134724245
goy, please
>>
I say 'OH-VAH' and I am a native English speaker.

Well, I used the word 'say', but I don't speak out loud about OVAs, so it's more like my mental narrative.
>>
You need to delete this thread it's offensive to muslims

>over -> OH VAH
brit pls you skipped a letter
>>
>>134725451
Shouldn't that be オーブィーエ?

Do they pronounce acronyms like regular words in other languages? What's the point then? You might as well just abbreviate.
>>
>>134726418
Pedantically, we pronounce acronyms as regular words in English. What we don't pronounce as words are called initialisms.

Now you, too, have some knowledge that will never, ever, matter.
>>
>>134726418
V is pronounced ブイ and A is pronounced エー. It's fun listening to a Japanese person say "DVD."
>>
>>134726520
That's the best kind of knowledge, thank you.

As soon as I posted I thought, "Wait a minute, what about shit like SEAL, SOCOM, or LASER? Oh well too late now."

My english sounds horrible though

Since OVA is english word its "ohveeah" or however you are supposed to spell these letters

>>134724548
This for when I'm speaking in my language.

And Oh-Vee-Ay for when I'm speaking with the rest of the world.
