Whatever. Same thing.

Same thing?"cow" represents one single syllable, with a diphthong: the first sound is AH and the second is the semivowel correspondent to OO. This sound is spelled in a lot of languages as au, as in Laura.In IPA your guess is [kawri]."kah-oh" represents two syllables: the first with the sound AH and the second with the vowel OH.In IPA this is [kaori]. Very different.You don't distinguish these two different sounds ("Whatever. Same thing.", your words), but that is your problem because in a lot of languages the difference between them is distinctive and it is important.Again: if you don't know the right answer, don't reply.

Yes I do. I understand how you are SUPPOSED to pronounce Kaori. However, I don't just casually go and say kah-oh-ree.

Not the same thing. Kao sounds a little similar to cow, but it is not the same. Kaori is three syllables. Cow-ree is two syllables.

I say KOW-REE. I know it's meant to be kaori, but because I OWN THIS WORLD, it's KOWREE. Get the message.

Your pronunciation is not relevant since it is not the actual pronunciation.
