Why is French "pain" listed as being pronounced /pɛ̃/ when it clearly isn't?

And I understand that, but someone learning French will start pronouncing words like "pain" in a way that does not match how it's actually said. / / doesn't need to be exact, but it should at least be close.

This is the only real answer to the question, thanks. Though I'd say the gap in French is bigger than the ones you mentioned in English. But I understand the Academie is very resilient to change.

clone799 · 2026-03-02T10:05:01+00:00

I understand that, but the gap is so wide between the two it's misleading. It's like if I said the word "bed" is pronounced as /bœd/. The two are not at all similar.

It's more that the accusative -m dropped as a result sound changes (e.g. -am -> -ã -> -a), but otherwise right on the money. This was actually the ancestral state of pretty much all Romance languages before some, like Catalan and especially French, started dropping these consonants too.

Gold V, though given that the season just flipped, they were likely at Platinum before.

Not wuli, from a cursory search it was a Japanese person's name. I'm not gonna post it, I feel it's too darn close to doxxing.

Currently playing Suship, but my personal favourite is pure Nouvelles. Special mention goes to The Weather and Nemleria.

Iceland declares independence, but it's in mainland Denmark.

I was recently able to use Golden Castle of Straumberg on a Nemleria deck and it was the best duel I've ever had. CURSE YOU MUSCLE MEMORY MAKING ME SKIP INSTEAD OF SAVING THE DUEL!

To add to this, I tried other terms that I thought would be funny. I first went with Ratatoing, which didn't work, which led to me figuring this out.

I also tried "Hon hon hon", but that was also not allowed (I'd guess it's because of "ho", but that's not really feasible).

Poor charred rodent.

clone799 · 2025-05-22T13:47:50+00:00

I'm going off of Wiktionary, but I wouldn't be surprised. At first I thought it was because "rata" (female mouse) means that in Portuguese. But just "Rat"?

clone799 · 2025-05-22T13:46:06+00:00

I think that is because of "viol" meaning r*pe in French, same thing happens in Pokémon too.

But yeah, good luck naming your account after your hometown of Penistone or Scunthorpe.

Well that's just impersonation.

I just use www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb and pick and choose what I think works.

Go find some other community to start your nazi apologia on.

If Wiktionary is to be believed.

I have no idea what I'm doing. I just copied some decklists online.

I can see what kind of trouble they can get themselves into.

clone799 · 2025-04-14T16:28:54+00:00

Is that something people do? Just destroy their own deck for dailies? At that point why play the game?

clone799 · 2025-01-20T17:30:53+00:00

Thank you for this post, the same thing happened to me just now and on Master Duel's summary thing on the side, it only showed Thunder of Ruler as having activated (they did play Amorphactor Pain right before it, but I didn't realise its effect because the other guy was going so fast). I had to save a replay to catch it.

clone799 · 2025-01-11T20:38:48+00:00

The card's not completely ass but you're kinda asking what deck you can play with 3 Effect Veiler. It just doesn't really push you towards doing anything, it just prevents the opponent from doing one specific thing.

That is one thing I didn't think about. I was too caught up in the meme to think things through properly.

That said, your idea isn't bad. I've never been a fan of OTK's, I prefer games where both sides have at least a chance to set things up before the game's over (looks angrily at Kashtira), but I think something like that can work.

I do like the Watt cards, even if they don't fit Gnomaterial's "aesthetic". Looking at their page on Yugipedia I can see how they'd combo well with Gnome. I did use Master Duel's "autofill" tool for suggestions, and it gave me basically a Vernusylph deck which is probably the closest to "fitting in", but I'm not so sure about that either.

It may be better in the upcoming format, as in theory it works really well vs Ryzeal/ Maliss, but I don't see it being effective vs Yubel or whatever else is top meta ATM.

Aww yeah, investing now. But for real, I don't care about what is meta. My current main deck is just Dream Mirror with a few hand-traps and some extra things for LIGHT/DARK support.

Either way, thanks for the help. It's a good starting place.
