How do you say "ONI"

How do you pronounce it? Is it "oh-nee" or "awn-nee" or could it even been like "oh-nye" or "awn-nye"? This has been bugging me.

If you can't find porn on the Internet, you're not trying.

And since Oni is a real Japanese word, this is not really a matter of opinion. It's like pronouncing "freak" as "free-ack." It's just false.

How'dya get ah-ni outta oni? Unless that is, in fact, the proper way to say it.

I've always said oh-knee.

Oooh, I have an awesome idea. Even though the question has been answered like 15 times in this thread I'm going to keep responding. It doesn't matter that what i say is redundant; I'm just going to ignore all the other posts and tell you again that it is, in fact, pronounced oh-knee. As in "OH god my KNEE! You broke it with a motherfucking baseball bat!!"

I'm locking this. The question has been answered (the correct pronunciation is "oh-knee" as said multiple times) and so further posting isn't really necessary.
