Pronounced "hent eye" but with the "t" sound on the "eye" syllable. Just find a could Japanese text book for clarity.

In Japan this word just means pervert. And is never used to incdicate a genre. To indicate the erotic genre they use "etchi" or "ero." And something they write etchi as the letter "H." Hentai never refers to a genre or a naughty picture. Hentai also means transformation, metamorphosis, abnormality, or formation.

The phrase 'hentai video' wouldn't be used in Japan.

Outside of Japan, it refers to both "pervert" and anime with strong sexual themes. Nudity is NOT hentai. Just simple nudity would be etchi. When something sexual is depicted it's the hentai genre.
Japanese usage: "She thinks I'm a hentai!" (Well, if this were said in Japanese...)

English usage: "I got a cable modem so I can download hentai faster!"

Amazoness 

A word made up from bad Japanese translations of the word "Amazonesu." It's a combination of the word Amazon which refers to female warriors. And the suffix -ess which indicates female. So Amazoness is like saying "female Amazon" which means "female female warrior." I'm not quite sure why the Japanese use the word Amazonesu sometimes and Amazon other times. Unless it has something to do with Japanese not having plural words so they feel free to switch between the plural and singular. I believe Amazones is the plural of Amazon in Greek, but I'm not sure. It would probably be best to translate Amazonesu as Amazon or Amazons.
Have you ever seen the movie Amazoness in White?
