15. I'm confused. I take Japanese, but one person on my flist uses '-chyan' and I always thought it was just '-chan'. She says it's a variation, but I'm not so sure. Clear it up plz? -dies-

It's a variation, 90% more fangirl.

'-chan' has a glide in it, a small 'ya', if you write it out in Japanese characters. When typing/writing out the word in English, some people include the glide ('-chyan') and some people don't ('-chan').

Does that make sense? I admit I'm not very good when it comes to explaining things, but I hope that helped. ^^

Anonymous mostly got it, but just to go into even more excruciating detail:

"cha" is written in japanese using the character for "chi" followed by a small character for "ya". Thus, Cha or Chya are both technically correct, but I personally thing Chya looks dang awkward and silly. And frankly, the y don't really doesn't affect the sound in the way that say, "Ryo" (Ro + small yo) sounds different from "Ro".

but it wouldn't surprise me if fangirls thought they were just being extra KAWAII DESU YOOOOOOOOOO -___________-
