[scanlation] China and Shinatty-chan

[panjapanja.livejournal.com]

A quick scanlation of the story between China and the lovely Shinatty-chan:



This comic is based on this article.

■ I guess we can't win against Mei Guo after all-aru ■



■ Japanese Kitten ■



■ Fake ■





Saying "aiyaaa" is kind of cute.



** Original author's words end here**

Translation notes:
* China ends his sentences with "aru", which is a kind of Chinese stereotype that Japanese have. I didn't know how to translate this to English without making China sound like Yoda or something so I left it as it is.
* The first link that himaruya-sensei posts is about a Chinese amusement park full of copyright-infringing cheap knockoffs of famous characters. The second is a funny link about how Chinese people have different ways of saying "aiyaaa" to suit any situation and say it all the time (is this true? ahaha;;)
* Kitty-chan is what the Japanese call "Hello Kitty".
* Shina is a kind of offensive way to say "China". Therefore Kitty-chan has become Shinatty-chan.
* Mei Guo = how to say "USA" in Chinese, I think. I don't speak a word of Chinese, so correct me if I'm wrong. OTL And in the title of the second comic they use the Chinese reading for "Japan" (日国), but I don't know how to say that in Chinese so I left it as "Japan" (someone heeeelp OTL)
* AIYA━━━━━(゜Д゜;)!!


Thank you for reading~. China is adorable.

Wow, as a South African who speaks Afrikaans, I'm kinda surprised to hear that Shina is supposed to be offensive, since it's the ONLY word in Afrikaans for China. I think its the same for several other Dutch-ish languages too. o.O

Just for the record, "aiyaa" is usually used as something similar to "Oh my gosh!" in chinese. "Aiyowala" is also used (I just realized how weird it looks spelled out XD) in a morer dramatic situation. In this case, it's just like China saying "Aiyaa (Oh my goodness!) you're so cute aru!" Me having a Chinese mom I grew up with these terms, even though I'm not even close to fluent XD
