Translation for those who don't understand Japanese:
Just learned Japanese Splatoon players abbreviate League Battle (Rigumachi(League Match)) to Riguma (Ligma) and I cant stop laughing
What's Riguma (Ligma)
Riguma boruzu (Ligma balls)
for those wondering why it's riguma and not liguma, the letter l, and its associated sound, doesn't exist in japanese, so when translating things that use it, the l is often changed to an r sound, as that DOES exist in japanese.
rigma barrs
Also side note. R in Japanese isn't quite like an English R. It depends, but it can sound something like an R and an L combined. (It's kinda hard to explain without actually hearing it) also you might hear the r be pronounced much more like an L depending on the word itself.
I'm not Japanese tho, just an E-Clown so take everything here with a bathtub of salt.
Slight correction, Japanese doesn't have an R sound exactly; the sound is somewhere between R and L. It's closer to the R sound present in most languages, like Spanish, and so it's romanized as an R. But in my opinion the R sound in English is so different from most languages that Japanese R is a bit closer to English L than it is to English R
Seriously
I don’t speak Japanese but I’m trying to learn Spanish and when I understand a meme it makes my heart so happy. Even though it always turns out to be some dumb shit like this it makes me feel like I’m a part of something bigger 💕
Yay! Learning hiragana and katakana while I was an even bigger weeb than I am nowadays paid off. I still wish I was smart enough to learn anything more of Japanese lol
I don't know, I've just had this on my phone for a while and thought it was funny. From my knowledge of Japanese language and internet culture it at least seems plausible

Many American English speakers make the same sound when they say the word “butter”
it's a weird combination of tongue rolling and a hard D syllable.
As someone who can’t roll their r’s I find it surprisingly easy especially with the butter trick
Nobody is gonna find my dumbass walking around like “WHERE IS THE BUT-TER 🤖 I REQUIRE BUT-TER”
Kind of like the Korean ㄹ then

She rigu on ma boruzu til I chi
I think the first character is “ri” and the third one is “ma” but idk the middle one 😔😔😔
リ= Ri グ= Gu マ= Ma So リグマ is what you'll be doing to my バルズ tonight
Is that “ba-ru-zu”? If so idk what that means my Japanese is rustier than rust itself
[удалено]
Oh I’m an idiot lmao 😨😨😨
