      This one time when I was in Virginia Beach with Oston Saralu, this waiter had the caucasity to correct Oston's pronunciation of "Sashimi". So I started speaking to him in Japanese. The waiter just walked out. Funny thing is that Oston doesn't even speak Japanese.

      Dude. CNMI peeps just pronounce it differently lol. My dad says is SA-shi-mi emphasis in the beginning. Same as WA-sa-bi. Grew up hearing both those words constantly.

      The emphasis on the first syllable is correct. I think. I also find Japanese say it more like SAHshmi @drewnonymous Thoughts?

      Well we were recently colonized by the Japanese so it makes sense. My Nang and Tang spoke Japanese to each other a lot.

      Palau has far more Japanese influence in their language.

      I'd love to hear it. Are you comparing it to CNMI Chamorro when you say that? Or like in general.

          In general. They have adopted Japanese words. For example, in Japanese, "daijobu?" is the short version of "are you OK?" In Palau, they say "daijob?" They also say "rameng" instead of "ramen", "someng" instead of "somen."
