How do YOU pronounce Tamagotchi?

I'm SO CONFUSED!! The commercials here in the U.S.A. say "TOM-uh-GAH-chee" but the Tamagotchi movie (U.S.A. also) says "TOM-uh-GOH-chee" I don't know how to say it. :furawatchi:

I guess I'll just say "TOM-uh-GAH-chee" 'cause that's what every commercial and family member I know say it.

I say it as tama-ga-chi. In Japan you would say tama-go-chi because the o is pronounced the lond o in Japanese.

I pronounce it Tama-go-tchi. But what I really don't like is that the commercial pronounces it Toma-gotchi. How annyoing! "Buy the new Tomagotchi V3!" It bugs me, but I don't think it's their fault.

On tv ( as tamaguy#1 said)

they pronounce it like tom-ah-guh-chee instead of tam-a-got-chee like I say it h34r:

I suppose everyone says it differently, but on the v3 commercial it sounds completely wrong

This one pronounces it "Tam a got chi" or "Tam a gah chi" with the TAM part sounding like the TAM in Tammy.

But this is from France.

We all call it "Tom a gah chi" which can also be written "Tom a got chi"
