Comments on: Getting cultural enlightenment from translation http://blog.ilif.in/2008/12/12/getting-cultural-enlightenment-from-translation/ because ilifingrish is coal too Sun, 29 Aug 2010 14:58:18 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Milky.T http://blog.ilif.in/2008/12/12/getting-cultural-enlightenment-from-translation/comment-page-1/#comment-1381 Milky.T Tue, 13 Jan 2009 01:31:46 +0000 http://blog.ilif.in/?p=257#comment-1381 I quite often go on what I now call a "wiki-trawl" for a few hours/days- where I google something that I don't know about, (At least half the time the time it's something Japanese.) usually find a wiki page in the first two or three entries in google so have a read up on the subject. Half way down the page I'll find a link to yet another wiki page to yet another thing/event/person/cartoon/insect/explosive/sexual deviation... that I know nothing about that I'll open in a new tab for when I've finished the one I'm on. Sometimes by the time I've finnished the original wiki page- I've got three or four new tabs of wikiness waiting to be read. By the time I get to the end of my journey, need sleep/eat/toilet or just can't read another word- it's usually very hard for me to remember what the original thing I looked up was... Often I'll go back to my desktop and media player classic will have been on pause for a few days, so re-winding a few seconds sometimes solves that dilema. (Sometimes it just sets me off on another wiki-tangent-trip though.)

The Manjuu Kowai one for instance is a real good and very explanatory reference if you have read it, and I'd love to see them use those kind of references that way more than they are already doing.

I mean, one or two times is funny but come on, almost the whole show's comedic aspect based on mentioning this and that from here and there? For instance, I don't know how was the fugly parrot saying timotei supposed to be funny even if you watched Lucky Star... Well, enjoying the show anyways. Thanks ilifin, obviously your work's aeons ahead the shit of most groups. You're the coalest guy around.

I like the way a sentence can be translated so many ways(depending on conversation or situation). The one that gets me the most is the titles they have san, donno, sama etc. As when in America and central America(other countries that do also) only use mister(senor) before the name of a man and to get the attention of a stranger(well in central America we do "disculpe senor" "excuse me mister" in English)wow my post is to long, for short the Japanese culture is something I would like to learn when I have the time. Most of itis bits from Japanese anime.
