actually that sounds a bit english - I think jpn people would stress the "i" (pronounced as "e") aswell.

So "Su-ee-ko-den"?

 

Yes.  It's a Japanese title and as such, the i sounds like an e and the 'den' at the end sounds like the 'din' in 'dinner'.

If you really want to get phonetic about it, it would be sue-ee-koe-din.  Using English sounds.

A lot of Japanese can be easily understood when you just learn the changed vowel sounds.  Which it doesn't help that, when writen in 'Romanji' (roman letters), they don't always sound like what they look like.  For me, Japanese is a language that is much easier to understand when heard spoken.  Whereas something like English is the exact opposite.
