It was probably very tough for the first generation Japanese to learn Portuguese, but I’m sure they cherished the language.<br /><br />In the confine of our language, we are sensitive to our own syllables. Foreign syllables are not the same. So even if some are similar, I don’t ask anyone to keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-86826067882751826482010-01-26T16:47:57.277-08:002010-01-26T16:47:57.277-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-62144263942782972082010-01-26T16:00:30.253-08:002010-01-26T16:00:30.253-08:00Rebb,

That was so funny. <br />About "v" instead of a "b," my problem is opposite of your grandfather. <br /><br />About the Egyptian Ba as soul, I read the definition included personality. In Japanese, soul is translated to tamashii 魂. And tamashii is not related to personality.

I don´t think we have that in Portuguese. <br />I wonder what the Japanese immigrants thought of Brazilian Portuguese when they came, 100 years ago...Lucianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380997272615285975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-34493663277152277442010-01-26T06:23:55.209-08:002010-01-26T06:23:55.209-08:00Keiko,

Wouldn't it be fascinating to go back in time to when the first words were formed and see it occur in several different parts of the world at once...<br /><br />Ah yes, I remember talking a little about "baka" in one of Mare's blogs.

They are beautiful and very relaxing. Yes, I believe in no stress life also. We need to slow down without slowing down in thinking.<br /><br />About fingernails on a chalk, yes, I think the feeling must be similar, but in your case, those sounds keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-26585713159807006602010-01-24T01:34:02.998-08:002010-01-24T01:34:02.998-08:00Fascinating post-really interesting!

My husband is Japanese and occasionally he uses English words that he hears but is not totally familiar with. Words that, because of their "sound" I do not use. I tried to explain this to him and asked him not to use these words as they had the same effect as Nakamuras on Saipanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662361356658757467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-80271099025644536602010-01-23T00:00:51.526-08:002010-01-23T00:00:51.526-08:00Rebb,
About the word that you simply do not like ...Rebb,<br /><br />About the word that you simply do not like and do not utter, one of comparable Japanese words is “he.” Like “Hey” without y. My American cousin found the word in my English-Japanese dictionary the first time I came to the U.S. and laughed out loud. I wanted to give you only the first alphabet and the last, but there is no middle. <br /><br />And thank you for the site related keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-55329815077872226302010-01-22T08:55:20.744-08:002010-01-22T08:55:20.744-08:00Keiko,

Your blogs certainly make me do a lot of thinking!<br /><br />Fascinating read, Keiko. There is something to the sounds of words. There is one combination of letters in the American language that I simply do not like and do not utter.
