Hey choco!! |
Hehe, I'm just kind of a Japanese-pronunciation nazi. They were saying "muh-DOUGH-kuh" whereas I say "mah-doh-kah" ..... I'm crazy, I know owo;
-gets runover by a wild choco- |
No I feel the same way ulti
I think he did it that way to rustle some jimmies and you let him rustle yours! |
I'm usually like that too, Ulti. But that was just for funsies. o wo
|
Hahaha I need to show that to my brother...
|
That's one reason I rarely ever watch anything dubbed. I'll just sit there going "KI-yo!? His name is KYO. ... OMFG Her name is not KuhGOOruh it's Kagura omfg." I twitch every time they pronounce the names even slightly American-ized ewo;; ... Because I'm weird.
|
Hahah poor ulti //huggles
|
*shudders* Never watching Fruits Basket dubbed... EVER. It's just not a good idea. DX They also pick really weird voices for the characters too. It's why I can't watch Elfen Lied dubbed.
|
Don't even get me started on car names. Mitsubishi, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Subaru, guh. HYUNDAI. In Japanese it would be pronounced "hyu-n-dah-ee" ... Here in 'murrka it is pronounced "hon-day" ..... I can not sit through a Hyundai commercial without twitching ewo;;
|
HA!! I KNEW IT!!! >=D I thought Hyundai was supposed to be pronounced like that. I feels kinda smurt now. o wo
|
Haha and words we've American-ized like "karaoke," "kamikaze," "karate," "ninja," "samurai," etc. None of them are pronounced the same as the Japanese pronunciation. Some are close, but the American "karaoke" just baffles me XD
|
I first heard the correct(?) pronunciation of karaoke while playing Persona 3. My mind was blown that day. o Ao How can we get that so wrong?!
|
WHY IS THE "A" PRONOUNCED "EE"?? XDD The "e" I can understand. But ... REALLY?? XD
|
//rolls around
I got egg salad sandwiches! |
'kareoke' makes me laugh XD
|
Because America can do whatever the hell it wants with vowels? o 3o;
So jelly of you. *ogles egg sammich* |
Most people will pronounce things wrong because they are ignorant
|
"Keh-ree-oh-kee" ... WHY. XD
And "Kah-muh-kah-zee" ... "Zee" doesn't even exist in Japanese lettering x__x -sigh- Americans and their changing of Japanese words/names. @Asami- Yes, ignorance. Dumb Americans = ignorant pretty much. |
sometimes it is because of mistranslation too sweetie, do take note it has been /proven/ that non native speakers to a language cannot actually hear some sounds made if the same sounds are not used in their own language, if a person mishears and one more person after that hears the mistranslation then the whole word is fucked
|
Dumb doesn't always equal ignorant. Not always some smart people are ignorant. Hell everyone is ignorant of something or other.
|
I'm terrible with things like that because I actually have trouble with my language expression, so even when I try to pronounce things properly, I can't always do it. Even just Asami's username, Peach got on me before about that, but I really just can't without soooo much practice, which is hard without someone there and actively helping me to get it right.
|
Hehe, I have a bunch of "How to speak Japanese" books and I took a class at my school. My sensei had fun trying to confuse everyone by talking really fast in her native language but I almost always knew what she was saying >w>
|
bgluh.... i am tired and bored
|
//pats gall
Its okay. Hehe ulti :3 that's funny What does choco wanna talk about? |

|
Mmmm... nothing here ono asami is boring
|

|
Umm, nope I got nothing. Ulti is boring o3o;;
|
//dances with ulti
Yay boring!!!!! 83 |
Uhm.
My ex, who is a bit of an extreme feminist, obsessive Muslim, and generally submissive as hell, keeps trying to convince me to hang out with him, even though he was a total creep last time and wrote his phone number on my bathroom mirror and always talks about how I'd make such a good dominatrix. Is that not boring? |
Wait is this the one you've told me about a lot?
|
I don't remember. It's not the recent ex that I've been having issues with for like ever that's a jerk face about everything, it's one from 5 years ago.
|
Yeah you've told me about him
Also random CHOCO your post count like sky rocketed!!! |
that is certainly not boring ;^; my beloved just liked to take vicodin & play video games or have their bitch mother and brother come over and cause a rucus....i feel so unexpirienced XD
|
yeah i started posting again, dk promised i wouldn't get in trouble if i posted in other places and there is the event thing
i feel less afraid of getting banned when i have a member of staff behind me |
You weren't even on my list and now you're 5th place x'D oh my
|
Yeeeah. This dude got himself kicked out of the military for snorting some of that canned air stuff and having a seizure. Lost all of his security rights and everything. Pretty much only good as a janitor now.
The people he's been hanging out recently creep me, too. He tells me these stories about how he accidentally gave rides to hookers, and how him and some chick got shot at because she gets a little too friendly with the kids she teaches and all this stuff... I really don't want to, like, go to his house alone with him or anything like he keeps asking, but... He knows where I live and stuff... I don't think I can just blow him off... |
Just ignore him I: if he goes to your house call the cops
|
5th? 0_0' what happened to 7th?
jeez.... dude get a restraining order out on him |
Maybe I should. But I'd feel bad. He bought me my tablet and stuff.
