e-(slight pause)chi

the cc in ecchi denotes the slight pause.

Hrm. I'm not too sure that's the best way to phrase it. Best I can do though.

All that, plus, the "i" is whispered. It's like saying the English word, etch.

The "e" in "ecchi" is Japanese, meaning it's pronounced like we say "A" when reading off the alphabet.

The sound in Japanese romanized as "I" is pronounced like our English "E."

I'm sorry, but what the hell does "etch" mean?

Hentai and ecchi mean the same thing. The Japanese tend to shorten it by just using "H" on products or by just saying the letter "H" the best they can.
>> LemonCurry
That's because it IS the letter "H" to abbreviate the word "hentai" in Japan, it doesn't denote hardcore or softcore it's all the same, hentai literally transtlates to "strange person" "weirdo" or "pervert" but is often the shorthand for "conatins adult material"

Close, but the "e" is pronounced as in the English word "pen."

Agreed, and thusly, forgiven.

I could rant about how every other post in this thread is completely incorrect and sounds like it came from an idiot who thinks Japan and China are the same place, and then proceed to correct the incorrect pronunciation, terminology, and understanding of anime, Japanese society, culture, and colloquialisms, but I think I'll just sage.

"h"-ie, like "cutie" or "footie", but with an "H'.
