Pride goeth before a fall. So I got into a cab today and said "Noke Ha," sure that I knew what I was saying, and the cabbie turned around and gave me that blank look that means my pronunciation still sucks. "Noke Ha?" I repeated slightly more tentatively. "Noke Haaaa!" he yelled chidingly. "Noke Haaaa!" (pronounced like Coke Yeah, the "a" is drawn out and the tone descends). It also helps if you open your mouth as wide as possible when you say it. Sigh. A work in progress.
