[Red_Man]

I'm more surprised by the amount of people in this thread who have been pronouncing doje the wrong way

 

[MYE]

Say Doh-Geh here as well.

lol

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

In the origin of this meme, the video says it as "Dohj", so that's how I pronounce it. But I don't think it matters one bit if someone wants to call it something else.

 

[Slayven]

[Steiner84]

Dohjcoin? Nope.

What

Doggy coin you dumb bastards.

[jstripes]

ド
ゲ
ドゲ

That's how I pronounce it. Especially given the breed it's named after.

 

[D4Danger]

I'm more surprised by the amount of people in this thread who have been pronouncing doje the wrong way

thankfully it never comes up in the real world

 

[OdysseusVA]

I always pronounced it as DOHJ. I knew I was right.

Seriously lol that's the pronunciation I've never understood.

 

[BattleMonkey]

[Nikodemos]

It's pronounced doh-geh!

 

[leakey]

I believe it's pronounounced dough.g.

 

[Like the hat?]

Always assumed it was doh-gee, with a hard G (like in GIF)

 

[Anoregon]

dough followed by j. dohj.

Dogecoin (pronounced DOHJ-coin) isn't something tangible like the dollar bills in your wallet. It's an open source file-sharing form of cryptocurrency that was created by programmer Billy Markus in December 2013. The newbie cryptocurrency started off as a parody of Bitcoin, using the image of a perplexed Japanese dog. Chances are, you've probably seen Dogecoin's mascot somewhere on the Internet already. As the Shiba Inu would say: Wow, much coin-cidence.

WOW. Such Error! Much Mistake! So lack of research!

Doge doesn't make puns and it's pronounced DOH-GAY.

Not content with this can of worms, you open another. Bravo, man!

 

[smokeandmirrors]

It's pronounced DOH-J you fucks.

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

They very clearly got the pronunciation correct in the article and everyone that disagrees is factually wrong.

[Davey Cakes]

It's pronounced DOH-J you fucks.

Like doh-Jay?

I've barely paid attention to this meme but ever since I first saw it I've said "dohj" in my mind. Stops at the Soft G.

[mclem]

Who the hell isn't saying Doh-Ge

Anyone who knows that Doggie is spelt Doggie. Doge is Doge.

Doge is actually a real word, anyway.

 

[nubbe]

Doge coins are the only virtual coins I support

 

[Snarfington]

Always pronounced it "doggie". Just seemed logical to me and I find it super weird when people try to correct it to "DOHJ" because... No. That doesn't even sound related to a dog. Jeez.

On a related note, man, this has gone too far. I swear dogecoin started as a joke but there's always someone (or more likely some thousands) that have to take it seriously and WAAAAY too far.

 

[Y2Kev]

Does it stick out to anyone else that it reads like: "as the shiba inu would say"...

The dog doesn't actually talk. Lol.

 

[Des0lar]

It's DOH-GEH

Not Doje, not doggy,

 

[Pagusas]

There is a Dog on the coin, so its pronounced Dog-E-coin. It would be wonderful if this took off as the worlds currency to hear the ridiculousness of people saying this out loud.

 

[polyh3dron]

Does it stick out to anyone else that it reads like: "as the shiba inu would say"...

The dog doesn't actually talk. Lol.

In the meme however, the dog does talk and its words are represented in grammatically incorrect multicolored comic sans, but you already knew that.

And yeah, considering the origin of the meme, the pronunciation is definitely doh-geh.

Thats the whole point of the meme speak, it's not supposed to be right

 

[KrellRell]

Officially, the way to pronounce is dohj-coin (like dodge coin).The creators say you can pronounce it any way you want! Everyone can be happy now.

 

[Vilix]

It's DOH-GEH

That sounds fabulous.

 

[narcosis219]

1) Original homestar runner thing that it's based on says dohj. Source
2) Doge, as in italian chiefs of state lordship in the renaissance period, are pronounced as dohj. Source
3) Creator of dogecoin says dohj Source. (1:40)
4) How could it not be dohj wtf is wrong with you people

 

[Cymbal Head]

I've always pronounced it like the actual word "Doge." Edit: ^^ guy above me gets it.

It's a coin founded on a meme based on Japanglish, therefore 'doh-geh'.

There's a lot of uneducated people in the world. Seriously, wtf is the connection with Venice's rulers?

As far as I know, Hot Dog is ホットドッグ, so if anything it's Do-ggu, not Do-ge

 

[la flama blanca]

I pronounce it DO-GE with a hard G, it just sounds better

 

[mackattk]

The hell is Dohjcoin?

Will always pronounce it as Doggie

If someone came up to me talking about Dohjcoin I wouldn't know what they were talking about.

 

[hoss]

It's DOHJ.

Doggie sounds like how my grandmother would try to pronounce it.

 

[Anoregon]

It's DOH-GEH

Not Doje, not doggy,

That is the most wrong way to pronounce it by a large margin.

[Risible]

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

Isn't it just a misspelling of doggie? Hence pronounced doggie?

Edit: Hey maybe I should read the whole thread first next time.
