Bakaarion 3,439 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 Is that free bashing, or there is a pun I didn't see ? 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lilly 12 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 16 No, I'm honest. The Japanese language doesn't really have puns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakaarion 3,439 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 I think it's impossible. EVERY languages have puns. For having read some manga and anime, I can say I saw some of them already. 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilly 12 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 18 There's some clever things you can do, but they aren't Western-style puns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakaarion 3,439 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 Western style ? What do you mean ? 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilly 12 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 20 Their puns aren't like puns are in America and Europe. It's different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakaarion 3,439 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 Ah, occidental, I thought that was the unique word to define it. 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilly 12 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 Eh, in my classes, we've always referred to Europe and America as "The West". Which pretty much makes me as far west as you can get :p Didn't know there was another word. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakaarion 3,439 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 Well, I use Occident. Asia is Orient, or Oriental. But maybe it is European English. It exists anyway. I find it confusing to define it East and West, no ? 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilly 12 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 A little confusing, yeah. I don't think of Florida as the "West", much less Europe. 24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakaarion 3,439 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 Yes, those terms was invented when Europe was defined as the center of the world I don't know if English speakers say that too but Japan is also called "[country of] the rising sun". And it taught me where the sun is rising, so thank to Japan I can define compass rose irl (with low accuracy). 25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilly 12 Report post Posted June 1, 2018 26 Yeah, Japan is the land of the rising sun. That's pretty much what their name means, actually xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakaarion 3,439 Report post Posted June 1, 2018 Make pan about Japun. Hmmm, from the perspective of America, Japan isn't the country of Twilight ? 27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilly 12 Report post Posted June 1, 2018 We still consider Japan to the East, even though it's closer West than East. It's weird. To us, the West Coast of America is as West as West gets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakaarion 3,439 Report post Posted June 1, 2018 Well, it make sens, on a world map, America and Asia are the borders, and that's how time zones work too. Otherwise, everything is east, and everything is west, and I'm not sure it would be better. 28 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
