"Italy" in Japanese? In a strange way apparently (looks like it is meant to be in an old-fashioned way but not as it would be expected to have been written).

Well...it goes with the handcuffs :p although I would have then thought you'd also be the god of latex...perhaps that's been swept under the carpet :lol:

[Milky Bar Kid]

????? Latex? (sorry for derail but I am confused n I didnt start the derail!)

[Ping]

リ is 'ri' in katakana japanese... having mondo probs finding the other symbols...

[diamond]

It's victoria but spelt as in Victoria bay in Hong Kong not as in the name of a girl i think.

[muffles]

????? Latex? (sorry for derail but I am confused n I didnt start the derail!)


As in whips, handcuffs, bondage, latex...lol. Well that's what being the god of "handcuffs and whipping" said to me haha! (I know you have a legitimate reason to be god(dess?) of handcuffs...)

[muffles]

It's victoria but spelt as in Victoria bay in Hong Kong not as in the name of a girl i think.

Do you know what language that is in?

[muffles]

Do you know what language that is in?

Ok looks like it could be Cantonese or Mandarin; in Mandarin it can be followed by 1 of 2 words, to give 'Victoria Harbour' or 'Victoria Park'. In Cantonese it can be followed by either of those 2, or a further 3rd option which gives 'Queen Victoria'.

Or...it can be read as Italy in Japanese (which is actually coincidence - it isn't the way it would normally be written hence the 'strangeness' mentioned in the original post I made).

[muffles]

victoria as in a name of a girl (correct ) not victoria as in a bay lol

Interesting - the poster earlier, and the guy I am talking to here, both thought it didn't mean Victoria as in a name - and the conversion he did from the letters only came up with the 3 options I showed earlier.

However speaking to him about how they get a translation, it might just be that it's not the "normal" way of translating the name Victoria (the meaning of the translation was something about 'getting profit'). Apparently the way it's done (you might already know) is that the chinese alphabet/dictionary is searched for words that "sound" like the english name (well - a combination of words that sound like it). There are usually a lot of variations you could use, so you then narrow it down by picking words that "mean" good things - which is probably where the distinction between using it for a name & using it mentioned above comes in?

He's on the phone right now so I'll ask him later if he can find out how Victoria (the name) would ordinarily be spelt (if it isn't as you've got it), and also the meanings of that & the original :D

[the white rabbit]

it is chinese .

How do you know? have you had it checked by an independent chinese tatoo checker? You heard about the bloke that thought he had his name or something and it turned out to be 'fairy'? :smt046

[the white rabbit]

Brilliant! Its says 'which way Victoria Station? Wun Way single to Peking'

Same here, the chinese girl i work with looked at it and immediatly said Victoria as in Bay, and then said Vicoria the name is translated slightly differently.

Ok looks like it could be Cantonese or Mandarin

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't all Chinese characters mean the same thing, but are pronounced differently in each of the languages that use that character set. Cantonese or Mandarin, the characters would read the same, but the spoken words would sound completely different.

I'm sure I was told this when I lived in Singapore as a kid.

Yes, they do - I mainly wanted to know because the character set isn't identical in both languages (there are just a lot of similarities). So it affected the 'possible' references to Victoria (2 in Mandarin vs 3 in Cantonese I think it was - cba to look :)).

Oh and just to add to that - the speaking is quite similar (at least on these words). Actually, if they "meant" the same thing but were spoken completely differently, that wouldn't help this situation...

The words themselves don't "mean" Victoria - they mean a bunch of random things. But when you pronounce them all together they "sound" like they say "Victoria" (in a b*stardized way lol).

So if it sounded like "Victoria" in Cantonese but like "gozywigwig" in Mandarin - then the Mandarin version isn't "Victoria" in Mandarin but "gozywigwig" in Mandarin - so it isn't the same.

It makes more sense if you parallel it with another language that uses our alphabet (or similar) - say German. To say "Victoria" in German you literally just say "Victoria" and spell it as it's spelt in English (ignoring the fact you *can* get some translations of names btw e.g. "Jeremy" in English to "Jerome" in French).

So to say "Victoria" in Cantonese you again literally say "Victoria" but you can't spell it in the same way cos the same letters don't exist in the Cantonese alphabet. So you find some letters that sound like "Victoria" when said together.

Probably repeated myself there a few times but it could be a hard concept to grasp lol - took me a while!

Lol, I dunno - probably quick typer (it took me 2-3 minutes)? Lots of people can probably do this, but I can type without looking at the keyboard which makes things a lot quicker! :lol:

I had no idea I thought you meant some sort of crazy currency!


I'm not being funny mate but I genuinely think I'd better say this. Have you noticed there's a spellcheck option when you type posts? I really do apologise if that sounds patronising (which I know it does...) but for the benefit of others and yourself we can understand you a whole lot better!
