how do you pronounce speed of light in japanese

1 answer

In Japanese, "speed of light" is pronounced as "kōsoku" (光速). Here’s how you can break it down:

- 光 (kō) means "light."
- 速 (soku) means "speed."

So, the pronunciation would be:

kō-soku

If you’re looking for a more detailed breakdown, it would be:

- 光 (kō) is pronounced like the "co" in "cope".
- 速 (soku) is pronounced like "so-ku" where "so" rhymes with "so" in "sofa" and "ku" rhymes with "coo".

Combining them, you get "kō-soku" (こうそく).
