[12me91]

Oh! And what's confusing ya, Atarian?


12me91: Ur doin it rong. It would be more of "Nice job, now maybe some new members will actually live. ~desu".

In response to that, I was wondering where all the members were going...

[noob1234]

  OH NO!! thats where they went... good thing we have this topic... but still... I hope they heed the warnings... otherwise...

Isn't "desu" a Japanese word meaning something along the lines of "to be" ? As in "Hajimemashite. Syaoran desu. Dozo yoroshiku." (How do you do. I am Syaoran. Pleased to meet you.)

So how is it used here?

(to any Japanese individuals reading this, I apologize if I butchered your language. I'm just a student.)

[ChexCommander]

The character Suiseiseki from Rozen Maiden ends many of her sentences with ~desu. It's become a meme, though not used much around here lately. ~desu

Ask Kuwabara and Allen for more info, or Loremaster, our leading resource on these types of things, when he's around.

This man knows Japanese! He's a natural for this forum! ~desu

I saw Syaoran, and my mind instantly leapt to Tsubasa Chronicles. >.>


P.S:Another survival rule is not to offend Thirston the Whale, or he will send you a thong with his face on it.

You just offended him by spelling his name wrong.

Well, I believe his name is more like Xiaoxian, but the Japanese katakana-ized it as "Syaoran".

Ahem. The Japanese have a system for writing designed as essentially a pronunciation guide for foreign names called Katakana. Katakana however, is still limited by the sounds in the Japanese language. Thus, not being able to say "Xiaoxian", they wrote it as something that sounds very similar, "Syaoran".

Finally found it! ~desu

[matthias720]

Oh, and don't forget that the forum is run almost exclusively on Whaleware: the software of the future!

[Allen Walker]

BTW, you Tsubasas....its Xiaolang.

Anyway, here are two topics that are discussed among a good few members of the CQFF.
