Anyone read Japanese? - Honda Prelude Forum

Coxy_UK · 01-27-2010, 11:19 PM

Would love to know exactly what my service history receipts say, so I know what needs doing and what doesn't.

So if I scan them, can anyone here help or know someone who might? There's not that much really.

Cheers

if you write out the letters in sand with a stick, then you may be one step closer to finding someone to read japanese......

lol...good luck on this site but have you looked into using a translating program to help you?

ROFL

No but really lol
I was thinking more along the lines of asking the professor that teaches Japanese at my school lol but if all else fails, why not?

go out on a date with a Japanese girl, then in the middle of the dinner whip out them documents. I'm sure she wouldn't mind helping you.

Retsiger · 01-31-2010, 07:04 PM

I can read it, understanding it's a little tougher. My dad on the other hand is fluent. Just post them up.

dontbuyprelude · 01-31-2010, 07:46 PM

^ nice!

dude, I always wanted to know what these 2 hieroglyphs mean or say?

Shimee · 02-02-2010, 11:44 PM

They say MUGEN. Those are the characters for infinite, unlimited, endless, etc. Which is what mugen means.

Well, you see what it says right next to it :P. It says mugen (pronounced)
無限 (if you can read that), it translates to "Infinite" or individually 無-"No" 限-"Limit" with the charachters being read 無-"mu" (pronounced 'moo') 限-"gen" (pronounced 'geh-n' as 2 syllables) all together pronounced 'moo-geh-n' 3 syllable word :P
on a side note, 限 can also be read is "kiri" (pronounced 'kee-rlee', jap R isnt quite an R, or an L, but a weird mixed pronunciation)

Shimee · 02-03-2010, 03:09 PM

I prefer MUGEN over MUKIRI.
