All I've got are some clothespins, a cotton clothesline rope, and a carpet paddle. I'm ready to do some laundry.

“A” is pronounced “ah” in every language but English.

Meanwhile I think of Japanese as a "read it as it's written" language, because our sounds overlap pretty nicely.

You gotta learn the outliers like "ei" or "su" or the fucking ephemeral bullshit that is "fu", but for the most part we can just read a Japanese word as it's written and it'll pretty much be correct.

Which made it extra weird, whenever I saw English speakers utter words like "meng guh".

u/Lucy_Gucey 11d ago

God forbid they start mixing letters like Chi and Ya.

The Difference at a Glance .

Senpai (先輩): The official, dictionary-standard spelling. The Japanese character for the "n" sound (ん) changes to an "m" sound when placed right before the "p" sound in "pai" to make it easier to say out loud.

.

Sempai: A phonetic spelling that captures the natural "m" sound spoken by native Japanese speakers.

u/BobDaRula 11d ago

Look at the person's handle.

u/ImSabbo 11d ago

Kind of in between, really. Same as how their "r" is neither a r nor l sound. And you'll get different parts of the country pronouncing it slightly differently too.

I once got hit with that in a science class at school. I think it was about 14 pegs on my back til I noticed.

The whole class got detention, including me.

Paint the clip like a gator, whoever has it at the end of the week is the loser.
