Another example of the Japanese transformation of English pronunciation is, in which the two-syllable word " taxi " becomes three syllables ( and four morae, thanks to long " + " ) because consonants don't occur consecutively in traditional Japanese ( with the exception of the coda ? / ? or / n / ), and in which the sound [ si ] ( " see " ) of English is pronounced [ U i ] ( which to monoglot English speakers will sound like " she " ) because / si / in Japanese is realized as such.
