nostr:npub1a0qxpztc73n47hp37wxfqt6thaakt97seu7satuv7uz65mnlq37sxu3tmr I had some Japanese friends that would call me "Neddosan" because Japanese doesn't have words that end in "D"

nostr:npub10tatyrd9pk4dwem62mev9ark2kzw7pywp2veujfaheejmnq9r0dqyksw7k yeah, but the Japanese are like the Italians, in that they’ll just add a vowel on the end. A in Italy, O in japan as a rule. But the Chinese have to make a bigger change to the word to grasp it, I think because they have more sounds to choose from so don’t chop things up so much to get the same info density.
