Just for help /o

Yeah, the numbers refer to the name sounds in Japanese. I think most of the numbers cam out of the Japanese fandom. Japanese counting is super confusing though! XD with both Chinese and Japanese readings as well as counters. For the J-Fandom I bet it comes naturally, but for us non-j-fandom it's a puzzle.



Japanese counting:
1 ichi (hitotsu)
2 ni (futatsu) [English "Two" = Japanese "TSU" since there's no 'tu' sound]
3 san (mittsu)
4 shi/yon (yottsu)
5 go (itsutsu)
6 roku (muttsu)
7 shichi/nana (nanatsu)
8 hachi (yattsu)
9 kyuu (kokonotsu) [sometimes ku, depending on context]
10 juu (tou)
100 hyaku [300 = byaku]

So, TSU NA takes the TSU from 2 and the NA from Nana => 27
YA MA takes the YA from 8 and the MA for 0 => 80
HI BA RI takes the HI for 1 and the BA from 8*
GO KU DERA takes the 5 from GO and the KU from 9
MU KU RO takes the MU from 6 and KU from 9
KU RO UMU takes the KU for 9 and RO from 6

I think those are the most used ones? I've heard of 3 for XANXUS (XAN is read as ZAN in Japanese = SAN = 3) and 100 for Byakuran (100- -> hyaku, Hyaku can sometimes be read as Byaku depending on the context (like 300 is Sanbyaku instead of sanhyaku)


* - I can't think of where BA is the reading for 8 off the top of my head BUT IT IS somewhere. Sigh.

I think if more people started not using the numbers it would catch on more too? I dunno /o/ hope that was helpful and not annoying.

[alexander.livejournal.com]

OTZ and I comment too late to see you linked to someone more in the know than I! OH WELL.

[antiva.livejournal.com]

Hahaha xD! ♥ WELL IT'S USEFUL FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHO PASS ONTO THIS COMMENT TAIL? ♥

[antiva.livejournal.com]

Hahaha no, I know what they stand for and where I can find it, I was just saying I can see where the poster is coming from. XD

Yeah, personally I just don't bother writing it down in numbers. I know what most mean, and that's enough for me. \o/ But thanks for the explanation XD ♥

[alexander.livejournal.com]

My reading comprehension is clearly low today >D;;;;

I don't mind it too much, Gundam Wing was a previous fandom of mine and I've taken some Japanese. And I do much prefer it to like KxS as how people talk about their ships, if only because the numbers are more specific XD

sob too slow ♥

[antiva.livejournal.com]

Haha more like it's too late for me to express myself clearly? XD AND I FULLY ADMIT TO BEING NUMBER-DYSLEXIC AND SWITCHING ORDERS AROUND. XD Mukuro would turn into Chrome so often if I were to write down numbers... orz

Haaa, Gundam Wing. Yeah, well most of the names were European, which to me made more sense than the Japanese ones. XD KxS? Y-yeah in a huge fandom like Reborn that's awfully confusing. XD I usually just write their names out in full or fandom-accepted meshes (although some tend to be really odd as well |D), like MukuHiba.

[alexander.livejournal.com]

XD. It took me a while to get some of them too, like Yamamoto's took some mind stretching because I don't often think in alternative readings for Japanese numbers XD. Well, that's almost canon, right~?

The Gundam Wing fandom has Bigger Issues than just numbers too XD. Mashes are good! Though I'm so used to calling Gokudera 'Dera' in my head that I have to double take when I see Goku. ... plus Goku makes me think of DBZ.

[antiva.livejournal.com]

Hah! XD When I read the explanation for Yama I did blink a little XDDD Hahaha I suppose, although I would facepalm myself for it. XD

Oh yes. I was just a reader there, and skipped over most horrible things. XD I thought I was alone in that. Goku=DBZ man.

sdklfjsdkf ICON S-SOCUTE. D: *gives him a little Hibari* D:

[alexander.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah. The mental image of Yamamoto and Goku from DBZ having ... anything... together is kinda mindbreaking, right? XD

|DDD I love doujinshi. But I wonder, how does little Hibari feel about that? >D

[antiva.livejournal.com]

skldfjsdf L-LOL But then, they do share a similar sort of happy-go-lucky attitude? |D

He says he'll bite you to death. Obviously. |D

[eternalsamba.livejournal.com]

vermultitude is now replying with an RP journal. S-shhh being too lazy to log out IS NOT A CRIME.

... man. That would be the happiest sex ever. ... and would destroy worlds.

Silly Hibari Kyouya, don't put your mouth there~.

[antiva.livejournal.com]

*C-CRIES* That is the most beautiful RP journal name ever. XD I wish my Mukuro journal name was as cool. XD

Hahaha yes. Or, not, because Yama would extinguish Goku's POWERBALLS with his... rain? OH GOD DON'T READ THAT THE WRONG WAY *CRIES*

HE BITES HARD THOUGH. >:| He'd gladly sacrifice that humiliation for one moment.

[eternalsamba.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT as soon as I saw it was open I had to get it. It used to be igangbang but eternalsamba IS SO MUCH COOLER a-and makes me lol.

... "Ha ha! This is a fun game!" Yamamoto sayd joyously as he sprayed his refreshing rain across Goku's dragonballs.

... that kinda hurt me.

That's. a horribly awesome mental image.

[antiva.livejournal.com]

Hahaha I ACTUALLY REMEMBER STALKING/READING igangbang FOR THE ESSAYS \o/ M-MUKURO SO CONFUSING. D:

I... I don't know whether to hate or love you now. But Goku will argue that the safety of the world depends on the power of his balls.

Hmmm. MukuHiba is so hate!sex. ♥

sdklfjsdf CFUD PEOPLE SCARE ME. Hahahaha. XDDD *FLEES*

[eternalsamba.livejournal.com]

GOD WHY ISN'T THERE AN EMBARRASSED ICON HERE. .//////////. m-mukuro is.

Both! I accept both! Man, I haven't even delved into the HORRIBLE REBORN PORN I could be bringing to this.

MukuHiba is hate!sex~~~

... d-don't flee! ;; not scary OTZ

[antiva.livejournal.com]

OHOHOHO I AIM TO EMBARASS. XD B-but yeah ashesto told me there were a lot of essays on a lot of characters on CFUD so I check some out whilst still steering clear of applying s-since too scary. XD AND HE IS BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT WANT TO PLAY HIM.

...orz please leave my brain relatively sane?

Hahaha I-I'd write it too, but I think it'd be horrible.

Pffthahaha EVERYONE THINKS CFUD IS SCARY SORRY MAN. ♥ Nah, I don't think it's scary, I'm just srsly easily intimidated? XD

[eternalsamba.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT. I LOVE him and want to PLAY him b-but the whole like. So confusing and convoluted and just. Just. Oh Mukuro. (Part of his charm!) CFUDers love essays? Gah, I am so overdue for another Mukuro essay s-sigh.

... |Db can do.

I! I think it's hard to write. I am also incapable of writing hot!fanfiction though, so that might be it.

r-really? /)_(\ man I am so scared of like. Everyone else on the internet! (... so wrong to say on this journal, right? XD)

[antiva.livejournal.com]

Hahaha yes. WELL HE HAS LIVED SEVERAL LIVES, IT'S LOGICAL FOR HIM TO BE LIKE, COMPLICATED. Ha! Now I will push you! N-no not really, wait until TYL!Mukuro part is stabilised maybe? |D;;; RAPED BY BYAKURAN POOR MUKURO!

...Now you made me curious though. Damn you! *shakes fist*

Haha, me too. orz it's hard enough to RP, let alone write XD

W-what you? |D LOL U R SO OOC!!! XDD Oh man, does CFUD have a Ken and Kakipii already? XD

[comixologist.livejournal.com]

A-actually, the "two"="tsu" thing is incorrect. in terms of pronunciation, if a Japanese person was trying to say "two" in English, they would probably say "tsu", but that is not the part of "futatsu" that indicates two-ness.

The "two" part of "futatsu" is "futa". Otherwise "hitotsu" would also be two, which it isn't.

[alexander.livejournal.com]

I meant! Phonetically. TWO => TSU as sounds XD;

The futatsu was just there because I was going through the numbers XD

I fail at writing coherently today ):

[comixologist.livejournal.com]

xD Also, byaku isn't the only alternative to hyaku, and you should probably mention happyaku (800)if you're going to confuse people with alternate counters and triple-digits.

xD Good thing we aren't talking about counters for small critters like cats and such. Even if I think the number for one (ippiki!) is adorable. xD

[alexander.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know~ I prolly should have only included relevant information or included more irrelevant information as well. But I wasn't trying to give a lesson XD; Just an idea of where it came from. Though, the commenter already knew so it's a bit of a moot point XD;;

[comixologist.livejournal.com]

I live for moot points! Bwah!

[ontheonehand.livejournal.com]

I LIVE TO MAKE YOUR KIND ATTEMPTS AT EXPLAINING MEANINGLESS. HOHOHOHO.

[post-position.livejournal.com]

about the 'ba' in Hibari, I think it's because 'ha' can also be read as 'ba' too? At least that's the conclusion I came to. It's probably just to make it fit XD!
