The idea changed n it was no longer about the movie/ I combined it with @hayaku14 height au so it ended up more like

Just letting you know, You tagged #fuyuhiko kuzuryu twice in the last post

Cant use a tag twice, I just used both spellings of the ū sound

One thing Neuvillette has taught me

French is fun to pronounce

[tragedykery]

can’t even say I love macrons because some french cunt has got it as a surname. I have to specify that I mean the diacritic. sad era for linguistics nerds everywhere

Nothing infuriates me more than there not being an alt code for  ū

K A I J Ū

I think it's weird that as a culture we just stole the word mana from the Māori/Polynesian language(s) to use in video games because it's kinda magic in a way if you understand nothing about the culture youre taking from and white dudes from Ohio still debate the pronunciation like it isn't a real word.

MAH-nah.

The Māori vowels are

A = ah (as in are)

E = eh (as in there)

I = ee (as in three)

O = aw (as in or)

U = oo (as in two)

You will often see a macron (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū) which just denotes that it's a long vowel sound instead of a short one.

The constinants are fairly easy, there are just a few things to keep in mind like "wh" is a "f" sound similar to the "ph" in "phone" and that "nga" makes a "nah" sound similar to the "nah" in "yeah, nah...yeah."

Additionally, te reo Māori is a very nasal heavy language and uses soft rolled R's more along the lines of French rather than Spanish if that helps.

Te reo Māori was once an exclusively oral language. It wasn't until the Dutch, French, American, and English "settlers" arrived in the 19th century that white people tried to write it down. It is also an endangered language that we need to work to keep alive, especially when the New Zealand government is actively trying to destroy it.

You Americans and Europeans wrote this language down. The least you could do is learn to read it.

Younger me was not very smart, by virtue of being younger, but I gotta give younger me some credit

Saving a google doc full of alt codes so I can use accented letters was such a big brain move, and I still refernce that document to this day
