lol, i wouldnt ask that, i might ask you to spell his user right though.
danko, that was what i wanted. youre the bestest. next time ill make it clear.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. How should Soleiyu's username be spelled?
soreiyu or possibly soreii
cause theres no L sound in the japanese language, except Lo, but that should debatably be ro too.
in japanese-english textbooks the R letters are ra, ri, ru, re, lo. but it should be ro, IMO
real jaapnese people have a hard time pronouncing L's. its actually a good way to tell if someone is japanese or other asian, cause koreans and chinese dont have this problem.
my girlfriend in highschool liked black flag, the punk band. she would say rets risten to some brack frag. it was pretty cute.
so since there is no L sound in the japanese language, and his user is from an anime style video game, which is obviously japanese. it should be soreiyu, not soleiyu. i think its suposed to be soleii(french for sun) translated to katakana alphabet, ie so-re-i-yu. but someone fucked it up along the way from japanese creator and european/american video game.
if it is in fact suposed to mean soleii, then it should be spelled soreii, as in so-re-i-i. but who knows what it really is supposed to mean as the character is only seen in the euro/american version or the game, and was not in any japanese versions as far as i know. (i asked a japanese friend about it and she said she had the american version in japan as a kid) so who knows
regardless, of meaning or origin, it is clearly a japanese name or at least a japanese pronunciation of a french word. in either case it should not have an L in it but an R instead, cause there is no L sound in japanese, even if it is a forign word that had an L in it. like e-re-va-ta / elevator
moral of the story, if you want to be japanese, you prolly shouldnt use a username that is clearly englisheese bastardization/misspelling. cause japanese ppl will look at you like youre an idiot. (which in this case wouldnt be far off)
