QUOTE(qarezma @ Oct 15 2010, 09:07 AM) microsoft is a brand name mah, takkan la u want to translate the name oso? well, in chinese usually (even brand name) they will maximized the used of the meaning of the word instead of direct translate it's pronounciationssome older languages actually do have their own word for things like telephone, computer, etc... in chinese, Microsoft is 微软 (wei ruan), 微= Micro 软=Soft Television =电视机; 电=electric 视=vision 机=machine Telephone = 电话; 电=electric 话= conversation Computer = 电脑; 电=electric 脑=brain etc etc.... |

QUOTE(xKAIZERUx @ Oct 15 2010, 09:23 AM) japs also loan some words from the mainland china and english, also some words from germans as well. Japanese they have 26 characters of Kanji that's borrow from Chinese languagessome that i know, Television = テレビ (terebi) 7-E style stores (not limiting to 7-E) = コンビニ (konbini) Part-time work = アルバイト (arubaito) PC = パソコン (pasokom) those you stated are Katagana, Television (become Te re bi), & 7-11 etc... are direct translate from the pronouciation, which doesnt reflect the meaning in Japanese. those that reflect meanings in the language will be written in Hiragana. but what i;ve shown you is, instead of using chinese character to spell Te-Le-Vi-Si-En in chinese, they used chinese words to make up Electrical-Vision-Machine. |
