So I made a Japanese learning game on steam and I get hit with negative reviews all the time because it doesn't have enough real Japanese words in it. /facepalm

Link?
No idea what one the person you replayed to made, but Wagotabi is good. It also updates fairly regularly.

Sauce?
KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World
Merci! 😸
Don't let the trashy stuff fool you. It's actually just a genuinely good comedy. One of my favorites anime.
It's even better when the English word is so riddled with vowel syllabics that Japanese phonemes require that it wraps all the way around and becomes unrecognizable...even when it's "English." My fav: Makkudonarudo - マックドナルド even tho most people just call it "Maku-do" for McDonalds.
Also, gotta watch out... just when you think "Pants" is just "Pantsu" you actually just said "underwear" in Japanese.

To be fair, that’s also the case in English.
I think "pants" is also underwear in the UK.

Q: How do you say "farm aura" in spanish?
A: "Farmear aura"
🫤
Actually, that's an anglicism but the word for "farm" exists in Spanish: "granjear". So you could say "granjear aura" but doesn't sound cool.
The difference with japanese is that some words don't exist in their language so they adapt the english word to their language by transcribing the pronunciation as closely as they can with their phonems.
I kept getting asked how i would say brainrot stuff in hungarian but its usually by native speakers of english but once it was by someone from burundi wnd i was like how would you say it in kirundi and it was fun looking at her think about it for a moment 💀. Also i surprised her so much when i knew how their flag looked, where the country is located and what langauges they speak cause i memorized it for every country on earth but she was used to people literally not knowing that burundi existed. Its fun to do it with people from smaller countries.
Sure but one of those Rs has to be rolled right?

Best use of this gif ever. Thanks
Like that South Park episode about Xbox vs PlayStation.
“Sony has announced a new Black Friday bundle, called the ‘Burack Friday Bunduru.’”
There is also cases where they strait up invent English word. Like ベビーカー, pronounced "babika", which is supposed to sound like "baby car", and means "stroller".
So maybe I'm not so stupid for frequently thinking, every time I start Signal (the app): "Sigunaru."
They'd say shigunaru
