Chinese Names

[Sultan]

well  the names above are just how u would say ur name  but written in chinese instead, Di for the first chinese word, pe for the second word, and sh for the last chinese word. it's kinda stupid that u ask them to write ur name in chinese cuz,well i just think it's stupid. anyway here's how u would say my real chinese name, Wu-Ka-Him

What's so stupid about getting your name written in another language? Obviously, you aren't much of a cultural person. At multi-cultural festivals they have booths where people write your name in their native language and people flock to them because it's interesting.

well cuz most of the time the words that makes up the word that make any sense and just doesn't sound right in chinese, it's kinda like saying ur name with a chinese accent so it's kinda stupid. that's y i have a chinese name and a english name

I second that. I don't have a Chinese name, but I have a Japanese name. I'm not really Japanese, but I have a Japanese name anyway because the teacher made us choose one. English words just sound stupid in Japanese.

Hey at least japanese can actually write a foreign name in their language and make sense. If you see katakana, you know its something foreign. Although I must say my name sounds pretty dumb in japanese. In chinese its much harder to figure out what the hell you are trying to say as it could be phoeneticized all sorts of ways. If I wanted to write something in Chinese, I would proably just put my name in English so as not to be confusing.

Yeah, katakana is actually very versatile; sure, it's not the asme as english perse and sounds a bit off, but it makes the language easier to understand, surprisingly. (and by this I mean japanese not english).

dip: I'll have my mom translate that for you, if she drop by to my house later on.

I'll say this now, if you plan on learning japanese just for the anime, your better off hanging your self.

So true, someone should file a petition about banning anime forums.. seriously, nowadays.. the stupidity is far too overwhelming, and I'm too sick of this sheit.

So true.

 

I'm not completely against anime forums, since some boards are far from blatantly stupid fanboy lairs.

Well, i'm just learning Japanese not only to understand the japanese anime/drama, games also!

Most people want to learn it because of the games. Nothing wrong with that.

I just want to learn about the old Japanese culture like samurais and shoguns. I'm not even going to attempt to tackle the language.

Well yeah, it is interesting to say the least. You might want to read up on the Shinsengumis.

Yeah, my class goes into culture a bit. I took it because the alternative languages were Spanish and German, which suck.

German especially. I sounds so... "angry", now that my brain lacks a better word for it.
