    “Correct” is how it’s pronounced in your area. For example, Nissan:

    • UK: ni (as in nip) san (a as in apple)
    • US: knee-sahn (ah as in “aha”); much closer to the original Japanese

    Each is correct in the given region.

    Just because a word is borrowed doesn’t mean it needs to be pronounced the same.
