Common Mispronunciations of Mitsubishi
Not mit-SOO-bi-shee
Japanese names carry level syllables, and English settles the beat on the BEE. Loading the second syllable instead is the usual English habit applied to the wrong place.
Not mi-tsu-BI-shi
The tsu is a single quick unit, ts followed by oo. English speakers find it easiest as mit followed by soo.
