Retreat "Tettai"

The only acceptable use of this word is when it is describing the enemies of House Kurita.

We will know who is not loyal to House Kurita if someone says this on the battlefield.
Probably some Liao Spy. Foolish Liao TRIX are for Kurita
muahahaha

Unfortuantly, the only language other than American English I come close to knowing was ASL - which I studied in college. I've forgotten most of my signs, since its not a language I need on a daily basis. As I child I spent a fair amount of time around Japanese speaking people - my father being stationed in Okinawa - but I dont speak it, and it drives me a bit crazy when I hear it. Its such a familiar sounding language to me that it feels like I should understand it - but I dont.

I also know bits and peices from a wide array of foreign languages - most often gained from computer games - I've been cajoling my son for years with Achtung! Wasserbomben!

Good Evening everyone! Welcome back to Kurita Com Chat 101.

I have yet gotten any request so I continue in my aimless way of life

Numbers!
alright so basic numbers without counters(descriptors at the end of a number or number particle)
1 "ichi"
2 "ni"
3 "san"
4 "yon" or "shi" (shi also means death)
5 "go"
6 "roku"
7 "nana" or "shichi"
8 "hachi" or "hach" ( i say hach as do most of us around here still spelled "hachi" tho. kinda like suki::to like something:: is pronounced ski)
9 "kyu" (pronounced like the leter q)
10 "jyu" (pronounced like Jew. easier to understand no offense to anyone)
Counters for mechs - dai(vehicle counter)
ichi-dai
ni-dai
san-dai

Continuing on...
Look! "mite!"
I saw "mita"
Overheathing "kanetsushiteiru" ( to shorten it just say 'kanetsu')
reboot "saikidou" (that u at the end makes a long o sound)
Enemy "teki" (enemy spotted::saw basically:: 'teki mita' proper would be 'teki o mita' but again battlefield)
North "kita"
South "minami"
East "higashi"
West "nishi" (look west! 'nishi mite!')

Alright gotta get to bed early. Damn work so dumb hahaha... but it pays! why is money so evil. I kinda wonder what you will be able to buy when the game starts. Colors? Special Variants of Mechs you already have? Special Abilities? i wonder....

Hai, that is so. I did add a few things though

Scanning though all the rosters and playbooks I kept since AOL time.

[Paladin Brewer]

PDF is also on the HK website.

From what Rajah and RR told me back in the day, they did use this in EGA.

Hai, I was not sure since during my time with MPBT EGA I was a Davion dog, originally assigned to the 5th Syrtis Fusiliers before transferring to Davion Heavy Guards in the 92-93 era. Lets just say politeness and kindness goes a long way...

Sorry if I have to be that guy, but I must remind you that non-English posts are for the International forums only. That said, I know a little myself. Studied a bit in college.

There is no International forum for Japanese yet. I'm applying for moderatorship so that MWO can create one, but then that's subject to Pirahna's approval. Until then, we got nowhere to go. =|

I know enough to know that the title should've said "dare ga nihongo o hanashimasuka?". It is nice to find other japanese speaking players though.

Still wrong. It's "dare ga nihongo ga dekimasuka?" OR "dareka nihongo o hanasemasuka?", the first meaning "who is able to use Japanese?", and the second being "who is able to speak Japanese". Hanashimasu is the act of speaking, hanasemasu is the ability to speak; the ability is what the OP wants to know.

The thing that's cute enough is that the original title only lacked a particle, whereas your version uses the wrong verb form. Thus, the OP's title is more correct than your correction, though neither is strictly correct.

[ethnic minority]

If a good number of Kurita players learn Japanese/use it in game, then that would be the most excellent thing ever.

I'm only a cantonese and english speaker - does that make me a liao? haha

[Hayashi]

As long as your raise your sword for the Coordinator and not against him, you need not be a Liao.

[AceTimberwolf]

all Cantanese speakers are welcome in Kurita company. le hou ma? = D

おぃ　ハヤシさん、どこから？日本に住んでいますか？誰も日本語を話せると思いません。。。

[Hayashi]

To avoid incurring the moderator's wrath I'll translate whatever Japanese I use.

地獄から来る。日本に住んでいませんけど、大学で日本語を勉強しているの。日本のアニメ、J-popと女の言葉を知りたいから。

I come from Hell. I don't stay in Japan, but I'm learning Japanese from university now. Because I want to understand the language of anime, J-pop and Japanese girls.

Timberwolf-san, 私は林, there's no need to use the katakana form. ;-0

And I think it's 'le hou mou', since people from here keep using it as a joke due to its similarity to "le ****".

BTW, since you're from Saitama... do you know Crayon Shin-chan? =P

Edited by Hayashi, 06 March 2012 - 12:57 AM.
