How do you say tortoise in Japanese?

Answer 1

かめ (kame) (kah-meh) is "turtle" in Japanese, but the correct word for "tortoise" is リクガメ　(Rikugame) (Ree-koo-gah-meh) - notice that the word (kame) is still present, but the k has now changed to a g sound.

The kanji for the word turtle is 亀　but the word for tortoise is usually written in katakana as tortoises are not native to Japan.

Answer 2

The Japanese word for 'turtle' is 亀 (kame).The pronunciation is roughly like "kah-meh".

Answer 3

Kame.
Kame is turtle.
