Hi I’m from hello, how are you?
Well I guess it would be more “good morning” than hello…
Ohio gozaimasu~
I grew up with Japanese, so I just assumed it was a deliberate thing. They are pronounced differently, but in a way that’s hard to type out.
Awwwh cool, i studied it at uni for a bit so i know what i’m doing which is just being weird and unfunny.
haha it’s fine, I noticed it as a kid as well :P Unfortunately don’t speak Japanese anymore, despite it being my first language.
how come?
I was targeted pretty severely with anti-Japanese racism in Australia in the 90s. This was, simultaneously, coupled with the rise in popularity of anime (particularly before school). I was banned from watching TV, so this made me weirder. I distanced myself a lot from my Japanese heritage to seem less Japanese. It seems regrettable now, but I’m not going to blame a 6 year old for coming to that decision (which I didn’t consciously, I gradually moved away over k-6). Looking back, it was not the sole cause of bullying. I was a weird, shaky, obviously abused kid. The race stuff just made it worse.
That’s gross to hear
I hope you are in a better place now
If not you can come be weird and traumatised with me
I’m reminded of the “kill the indian, save the man” movement, which probably wound up costing the settler colonial state a bunch of money as it generated severely traumatised lower caste race people that no one wants to hire.
Of all the things, I’m probably middle on that one. This is the weird traumatised communist house.
I’d argue in the case of anyone who doesn’t fit the cit het white majority, they never wanted to save anyone.
They’ll force us to suicide or make the material conditions of our society so hostile and reactionary someone else will do the job.
They never wanted to hire us, they just can’t admit they want rid of us.
They are pronounced differently, but in a way that’s hard to type out.
Just use Google Translate: おはよう
i worked on this farm in southern japan for a summer. me, a nepali guy, and the rest were native japanese nationals all lived in this dormitory building with a shared bathroom on our floor. while getting ready in the morning at bebop o’clock, we would all greet each other with the ohio gozaimasu (i speak a little conversational japanese and am very much illiterate). this one guy though, who was hysterical, would basically be shuffling around with his eyes closed for the first 5 minutes every morning. when i would greet him he would just say something that sounded like, “OSS” in this exaggerated sigh. like he could only bring himself to say the last syllable. cracked us all up.
I’ve heard that used myself, it’s another form of greeting used by checks notes marshal arts practioners (okay I didn’t know that part).
And in French, Massachusetts sounds like ‘put is sock on’ Met sa chaussette
Silly language.
Who calls a potatoes apples of the earth?
Why aren’t apples called potatoes of the sky?!
Because potatoes were introduced to Europe relatively late during the Columbian exchange 😁
Most normal greeting…
spoiler
in Ohio!
Ohio gozaimasu~
オハイオございます❣
big bird has a hexbear account? cool!
“Ohio” also looks like a tractor.
Ngl I don’t see it.
the big O is the back wheel, the little o is the front wheel
Oh fuck okay I see it now, I was looking at the shape of the state like “what tractors you got in hamburger land?”
Ohio Sayori!
Come to think of it, maybe that’s why she, you know…
Ohio really does things to a mofo
Ohio desu ne
I mean, that’s only one letter off from what it means in English
Explain…
