How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is rāmin.
Did you know?
- Because the letter 'r' in رَامِن is a tapped consonant, the pronunciation of the word in Arabic is actually closer to the original Japanese 'r' than the English 'r' is.
- The letter 'r' in رَامِن is a 'sun letter', meaning if you add the definite article الـ (the), the 'l' sound disappears and merges into the 'r'.
- While رَامِن is used for the specific Japanese dish, many Arabic speakers simply use the word مَعْكَرُونَة (pasta) to describe almost any long, wheat-based noodle dish.
Examples in context
- أُريدُ طَلَبَ رَامِن.urīdu talaba rāmin.I want to order ramen.
