It's either gibberish, incorrectly transcribed, or not Japanese. Or perhaps a stir-fry of all three. o_O

how do u say "vampire diary"?

I would say ƒ”ƒ@ƒ“ƒpƒCƒA ‚́@“úŽ vampaia no nitshi - vampire's diary. But there are other words for both "vampire" and "diary" so I could be wrong ;)

ƒoƒ“ƒpƒCƒA“ú‹L (Banpaia Nikki)

not gonna ask what you need it for :D


“ú‹L is probably more common than “úŽ, at least among young folks around here (check out blogs, pages, mixi etc)

V usually becomes ƒ”‚¥ as AnimeDad wrote, but vampire is written with ƒo (ba)

^ see? I was wrong on both points :(

Or, just plain old ƒ. Today I was watching Fuji News, they had a story about influenza, and for "vaccine" they say "ƒƒNƒ`ƒ“". What a crazy language. :nut: [/list:u]

true :D the katakana stuff seems pretty random some times.

Actually, I got the kana from the JDictionary on this site. "Vampire" is not a word I use often in Japanese ;) I just picked the wrong one.

how would you say "give me a break" in nihon go???? :bow:

There's probably similar phrases that essentially mean the same thing... Translations are never perfect... :)

sometimes fan subs are done really poor.So what was said in the Drama may of been not the right translation.

I have seen lots of Drama's,Movie's and Show's with bad translations

I think so.

Like "gomen" and "sumimasen" essentially mean "I'm sorry" or "excuse me."
