Author Topic: Your name in Japanese  (Read 6702 times)

no it wouldnt.

it wouldn't be acceptable to mispronounce a Japanese name just because we don't feel like pronouncing their vowels the same way.

The difference being that the roman alphabet is extremely flexible and can represent nearly every sound human beings use in speech.

Japanese glyphs however, cannot. Besides the sounds for TH and L being completely unrepresented in their writing, there are many other issues with consonants as well. The English language has substantially more sounds that rely on consonants, whereas words in Japanese always end on either a vowel or on a nasal assonant.

so why the forget would they be saying my name differently? they can spell it any way they please; usually by how it sounds in their language.
but the name doesn't change at all. nor does the pronunciations.

The name doesn't change, but the pronunciation changes drastically to accommodate the fact the Japanese can't pronounce most of the syllables that can't be represented by kana. For example the name "Leonard" would be read as "Reh-oh-nah-do" by a Japanese person because pronouncing English consonants is about as difficult as it is for Americans to trill their Rs when they speak spanish.

only a loving weeaboo thinks so lol

You're a loving idiot.

Tomī
or
トミー

i used "tommy"

so bizjack turns into Beezjahkku
it appears as if the consonants in my name DOES translate to japanese. and they can pronounce it just fine and even in writing as well.
so why the added KU? thats some stuff you weeaboos added yourselves.

in speech and writing, the japanese have no problem saying my name perfectly. you are just trying to jap things up for these naive blocklanders. are you cool yet? lol.

Technically it'd be romanized as "Bizujakku", but I wrote it that way for the sake of pronunciation.

It's uncommon in Japanese to end a syllable on a consonant. Sure, you'll find a Japanese person that can say "Bisjac" with no problem, just as there are some Americans that can pronounce "Bezmelnizin" on the first try; but these people are the vast minority. Most Japanese people would pronounce your name with at least 3 syllables, because the way your name is written is completely foreign to Japanese phonetics.

so why the added KU? thats some stuff you weeaboos added yourselves.

Because you can't end a Japanese word with a consonant, only with a vowel or with a nasal assonant. Did you not even read when I loving explained this to you?

Everyone is stupider after reading that, and you should feel bad for writing it.

you dont really have a lot of pull on your reputation as is. you were called out on your fake pics, and very much likely a guy alt in the community.
your only support are a small handful of weeaboo whiteknights, whom aren't of much influence in the community as is.
so yeah, i will talk stuff to you.



if you are really a jap, you would know there are stuffloads of americigarettes (them reverse jap weeaboos) that enjoy pronouncing english names properly.
it dont matter how difficult it is for another culture to say a name of a person or place elsewhere in the world. they are burdened with their own ignorance to figure it out.
you guys are playing a fad on that ignorance lol. you would play up the stereotype as a forum game lol.
what a proud jap you are

What does any of this have to do with anything? With a two-paragraph rebuttal, and the first paragraph being completely ad hominem, you're either extremely stupid or 12.

It still doesn't change the fact that when you write a foreign name in kana, it's pronunciation changes. How hard is it for you to understand that? I mean, I can tell by the way you type and structure thoughts that you're a complete and utter imbecile, but I'm being as straight-forward as I can be. I'm not using any ambiguous language, I think my explanations were to-the-point and concise, but you still don't get it, and you aren't even attempting to refute any of my points in favor of spewing egotistical bullstuff at me like you think it's witty.

Why is it so hard to get you to understand things? Why are you so slow? Why do you write like a failed abortion?
