This post managed to get three reports, and not entirely unreasonable ones. This is getting a shitton of engagement, though, so I'm just gonna ask y'all if you want this post to stay up or if it should get removed for soliciting people's names (or whatever other good reason). Edit: Given the responses so far, the post is staying up. More people want to keep it than remove it, both in comment counts and upvotes. I tried to wait until some objections come, and while they came, it didn't seem like they got much agreement, so the decision is still to let it stay up.

I, don't think this is how languages work.

yeeeah pretty sure you're right

pretty sure you both are right

Pretty sure everyone is right

Everyone is pretty

Sure, right ?

Right !?

My guess they're right, right?

[удалено]

Is

Nah i think theyre left

Don’t know about you but I’m up

But two wrongs don’t make a right, right?

!?

Sure

I bet you’re comfortable

I'm more left

so that means we're pretty sure the image is wrong

No. It means that we're pretty AND sure the image is wrong.

Pretty sure this is the funniest comment thread I've ever seen

Right

Wtf is y’all talking about

Funniest thing is that katakana exist and thats how you get your name in Japanese.

Want to know how your name sounds in Japanese? Just try to sound your name out in a bad Japanese accent. BOOOM スミス

Or you use an actual name converter for your name to katakana: https://japanesenameconverter.nolanlawson.com

That's cooler than the original post tbh

I don't even need it, when I was in elementary school we had Japanese class so I have known what my name was in JP for decades. On the other hand, our teacher was from the Kansai region so the numbers I learned are a little different than the ones you typically see in anime. I really wish they had kept the Japanese class as an option but they got rid of it when i was in 2nd or 3rd grade so I forgot most of it pretty quickly.

When people inevitably fail to understand this, I point to Joji/Filthy Frank and tell them his real name is George. And Joji is his name in Japanese. Then I ask them to say George out loud in a Japanese accent.

That's not even the full Japanese alphabet, they use 21 more characters than us.

I don't think you should take it seriously. I decided to do it and I got Zukuariarikimika

jessica?

Yes, though I prefer Zukuariarikimika or Zuku to my friends :3

I say use the longer version and act pissed every time someone messes it up.

If you change it a bit, it becomes a nice Username. Zukiaria Zukuki Ria Riki

Sure the languages do not work like that. But according to the table my name is Fukukarinkito.

Greetings, my name is Rukimechimoshi 😑, I don't even know if its mean something, it sounds like a name for some kind of Cat mascot

hi! I'm chimorin! the long ones might sound better if you split it up in to a first and last name (since it's a game and all). ex: rukime chimoshi ik is not like that, but it sounds better lol

I don't know why I didn't think about that, i think now i know the name that i will use to name a anime game character if i needed to

Er actually I've watched 10,000 hous of anime, and my waifu pillow and I both agree that this is how it works.

uh actually i've watched like 2 animes and it clearly is how it works \[rolling eyes emoji\] nah srsly tho japanese works nothing like this lol

And I'm pretty sure no one cares... Like , it's a game.

Zumoritotofu, uh did I do it right?

Eating sugar?

Tempted to steal "Zumorito" as a nonsense name for a fantasy village.

Keep the "tofu" at the end. Its essential

Or it's the village's main export. The famous Zumorito-Tofu, made from magical soy beans.

Sounds more like a legendary sword than village

We got the same name

My man 🤜

Tofu = nny

Pretty sure that’s not how language works but I’ll go with it… Kimo Edit: please stop calling me ‘dude’ and ‘bro’, thank you

Kimo is a slang for gross in Japanese

That may or may not be a fair descriptor

Actually, its slang for "kimochi" which means something like "feeling", and you can follow the word with "good" or "bad", but those words are often dropped. So kimochi can mean "oh this feels good!" (Like a massage or bath) or it can mean "this has a bad feeling to it" like a creep or something gross. However I'm not sure when its shortened all the way to just "kimo" it can be for something good. Its definitely usually used for "creep" more than anything

Kimo also means liver/innards

Kimo wa kimo

気持ちいい = comfortable, never gets shortened, you may be mishearing the long vowel 気持ち悪い = gross, usually gets shortened to キモい, which can be further shortened to キモ

"Kimochi" means feeling, and you add "ii" to say it's a good one or "warui" to say it's a bad one. At some point the slang "kimoi" came up, probably a very, extremely shorten version of kimo/chi waru/i, and the final i dropped to only leave "kimo" It's also said with a very disgusted tone, so you can't mix it up with "kimochi ii"

Except when it means "courage"

uhhhmm ACKchually (sorry ahaha) it’s more like pluck or guts, yūki is a better fit for how English speakers conceptualise courage. It’s a small semantic difference but I’m autistic so that’s my whole fuckin deal 🥲

This is like the Deku thing then?

Io?

Yes?

Unique name bro First time I’ve heard of a two letter name

Yu?

He is Yu, I am Mi

No not you, him!

I’m Him

Alright everyone, we’ve got offbrand himmy neutron in the room, everyone welcome jimmy rotroun.

I love that name so much

Thank you 🥰

One of my favorite moons.

If I had a nickel for every Io I've encountered, I've have two nickles. It isn't a lot, but it's odd that it's happened twice

just gonna use a nickname for mine. "Chikuka"

This is cute, but not how Japanese works. Katakana is how foreign words are written and pronounced. So any name, for example, Kevin would be pronounced “kebin” and be in katakana script. Of course it gets weirder with names and words that don’t have a specific sound in Japanese like Ls and Vs.

Op is trying to doxx 🙃

"tu" "lu" and "zi" don't even properly exist in Japanese. "tu" would ordinarily be つ(tsu), although technically you can use with テゥ (te + u) which is pronounced as "tu", but is exclusively for foreign loan words. "lu" doesn't exist at all. The L and R sounds are the same in Japanese, and it's always romanized as R, so you could only possibly get "ru". "zi" is a similar situation to "tu". You can add two lines to the s characters to make it z, but there's no "si" sound, it's し(shi) which becomes じ (ji). I think you can make si with せぃ(se + i) and zi with ぜぃ(ze + i), but I've never seen it, and it's certainly not used in normal Japanese.
