Unless you are saying it in a Japanese accent, I suppose.
Norwegian and japanese doesn't sound THAT different, actually. It's not hard to make it sound decent.

I think I remember reading once that Japanese was close in similarity to Finnish or Norwegian, I can't remember which now. It definitely suprised me when I read it though.

It's very common for english to be spoken wrong... especially R and L. Whenever I sing along to the Naruto ending, I pronounce everything the way he does. Heh heh.

I don't remember a character's name being spelled "Kurrilian"... unless you perhaps mean "Kuririn."

I write a lot of fanfiction, and sadly most people who read that stuff are dubbies so I tend to spell character names pretty much the way FUNimation made them... except I ALWAYS use "Mr. Satan" instead of "Hercule" and "Bra" instead of "Bulla." I used to have this thing where I'd pronouce character names as they were "spelt"... "Juuhatchigou" as opposed to #18, although that isn't the greatest example... But then I realized that a lot of names ("Torankusu") were sorta meant to be English words in the first place, so I stopped.

On the other hand, a lot of people I know use completly english dub names, but ALWAYS spell/pronouce "Bra" as "Bura," which I find weird. Not only is it not her name, but... I think it sounds pretty dumb, and it's waaay to close sounding to "Bulla" if you ask me.

Ooh, Kurrilian. There's a new one for your meta keyword thingies, VegEX.

You sing along to "Wind" Zacko? I love that song, but you must love it even more than me, since I don't sing along to it.

As for Kurrilian, I've never heard that one and quite frankly, I don't think it's even a genuine alternate spelling, and certainly not a Japanese one.

Oh yeah, Wind. That's it.

Cultivate your hunger before you idealize, motivate your anger to make them all realize, climbing the mountain, never coming down, break into the contents, never farring down, doo de doo de doo, doo de doo de doo, my knee is still shaking, like I was twelve, snuck out the classroom by the back door, a man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care, 'cause waiting is wasting for people like me, don't try to live so wise, don't cry 'cause you're so right, don't dry with fakes or fears, 'cause you wirr hate yourself in the end.

a piracy website. Okay, well I screwed with the don't ___ stuff, but meh.

And you didn't draw out the "try", "cry", and "dry"!

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Sat Mar 06, 2004 12:49 pm

You mean like, "Don't drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry with fakes or fears, 'cause you wirr hate yourself in the end."?

Well excuuuuse me lady.

Hey. As a big enough lover of that song that I bought the soundtrack, I expect your re-creation to be accurate!

I just thought of another funny name thing with me. For some reason I tend to say "Burori" as much as "Brolly", which I know is a mouthful, but I don't know why, I just don't like the sound of "Brolly" as much. I know it's dumb, and that Brolly is probably more of an accurate spelling of the pun, I just don't like the sound of it as much.

To be fair, "Bra" said in an Engish/American accent would sound pretty dumb. Trunks I can overlook for some reason, Dr Briefs is fine, but "Bra"? Gagh!

I never thought about it sounding bad (I don't watch GT and the only eps of Z she shows up in they never refer to her by name), but I can picture younger fans laughing after hearing "Bra". Let's face it, some kids might find that funny.

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Sun Mar 07, 2004 2:25 am

I don't mean funny in a "he he, he said a dirty word". I mean funny in a "that's just silly" way. Thank god he stopped before Trunks ended up with another younger sister called "Panties". Or perhaps "Knickers".

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Sun Mar 07, 2004 10:12 am

Knickers, eh? There's a name for if I have kids.

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Sun Mar 07, 2004 12:16 pm

You will be a cruel, cruel parent.

And I thought you were never, ever, not in a million year never going to change your mind ever, EVER having children?

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Sun Mar 07, 2004 12:28 pm

That's true, I won't have any. Just having some fun, Psy.

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Sun Mar 07, 2004 2:40 pm

Okay. But if I do find out that you've had children, and you've called them "Knickers", "Panties", "Thong", or "Todd", I'm going to come over there and beat the stuffing out of you.

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Sun Mar 07, 2004 4:30 pm

Oh, don't worry. I had no plans to name any children "Todd". Man, just thinking about it makes me shiver.
