Weird question...

It's not nearly as complex as English, but as usual we find ways to screw it up.

Weird question...

Post by Fall Out Girl »

In the Japanese language, when someone is searching for words, do they say stuff like "umm...uh...", or do they say anything at all, or do they have a different word for it?

Just wondering, it's kind of been plaguing me.

when people are hesitating between words, they say 1 of two things

Ano | Eto

Although they have some distant meaning

Ano is more of an "Excuse me"
Eto is more of a "Let's see..."

So if you're hesitant, and searching for a word, you usually to eettttooo... Sorta like that.. :\

I thought someone answered this for you already...?

In any case, it's a bit hard to tell (for me) what it translates to since "shi" means a lot of things:

Shi = 4, city, poem, death, master (I think)

So "shinjitsu no shi" could mean:

Poem of Truth/Poem's Truth, City of Truth/City's Truth, Death of Truth/Death's Truth, and Master of Truth/Master's Truth.

Without the proper kanji, it's a little difficult.
