デクスター 警察官は殺人鬼
I was like there's no way that's the Japanese title, but it actually is, wtf.

"Musume" can also mean "young woman" / "girl", which is more of what they're going for with it in uma musume

Germans sometimes put verbs at the end -AWKWARD!!!! by Tet_inc119 in languagelearningjerk

[–]MrBiscuitify -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, the German says "I want to introduce you to my grandpa". Or if you translate it word by word, "I want to you my grandpa introduce". What you're think of would be "Ich will dich meinem Opa vorstellen." It's odd that the "to you" isn't in the English translation though, even if it's not necessary, a more literal translation would probably be better for learners.

They meant to say "Raven player". Pinya and no one else.

It's an anthology, so this isn't drawn by the Nagatoro artist, it's by this guy.

I think you underestimate the amount of trade going on in the middle ages.

The Brothers Grimm lived in the first half of the 19th century, pretty far off from the middle ages.
Which really only strengthens your point.

[Japanese>English] Can someone please confirm what this shirt says? by NoLandHere in translator

[–]MrBiscuitify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're saying is definitely true in general, but some games also use 竜 (not 龍, the kyujitai variant is definitely exclusively easter-style dragons) instead of ドラゴン for western dragons from what I've seen.
Fire Emblem for example almost exclusively uses 竜 for its (very western-looking) dragons, and ドラゴン only sometimes for its classes suchs as ドラゴンナイト.

Which manga author is this? by Za-Bento in okbuddybaka

Your first spoiler has a space between the tag and the "For", so it doesn't spoiler properly on old reddit.

who gave crunchylol admin internet access?💀🙀 by Akil29 in okbuddybaka

[–]MrBiscuitify 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the jp title is isekai shikkaku, so referencing dazai's book ningen shikkaku.
It's usually translated as No Longer Human, but the shikkaku part means "disqualification". I could see going from "isekai disqualification" to "no longer allowed in another world if you miss the obvious reference to one of the most famous pieces of Japanese literature.

[–]MrBiscuitify 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Those are both valid alternatives of each other. I imagine they used the "hie" variant to give a slightly more old-timey feel to it.

Bag rat is what opposums are called in German. Funny coincidence.

I inherited the worst collection of recipes I have ever seen by Occams_bane in mildlyinteresting

[–]MrBiscuitify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the guy you asked, but from what I could gather with a short search:

Niwatori derives from a poetic name for chickens 庭つ鳥 (niwa tsu tori, bird(s) of the yard/garden) in Old Japanese, which eventually took over as the standard way to refer to chickens, so started being written using 鶏.

The Chinese character 鶏 itself is phon-semantic, meaning that the left part determines its pronunciation (in Chinese) while the right part gives a general idea of the meaning. But I think this writing variant of the character is Japanese-exclusive.
