I expected even more Christians in Japan but there is a difference between Christians in Japan who adopt Christian messages into the Japanese language and a Westerner (I assume) going to Japan to get a tattoo. If I want a Christian message tattooed, I would want it in a language I understand or maybe one that is significant for Christian culture like Latin or Old Greek or maybe Hebrew. But why in Japanese?

Even the premise: why would you want a Christian message in Japanese?

Thanks for warning me in advance

The implication goes only in one direction. “If you can read this, you are in danger” doesn’t say anything about the case where you can’t read it.

More often than not, both feel they won

Yesn’t.

E and Ä are basically the same sounds but you use the letter Ä to indicate that the root word has an A. Fähre is derived from fahren so it has Ä but it’s the same sound as the first E in Mercedes.

Yes, we often call them “long” and “short” E but the short E is actually halfway to A. It’s a different vowel even though it’s written the same. The last E is the vowel we often have in unstressed syllables like gekommen, same in English upon, about. We write it as E but it’s basically the most relaxed vowel possible.

Look at this vowel chart to see and hear the differences.

True, it’s a common female name, or was idk. Iirc the car is named after the daughter of the inventor. The German pronunciation is the butchered version of the Spanish first name so I’m on no moral high ground

It’s basically the three E sounds we have in German (short, long and “unstressed”) but I see that to the untrained ear, this isn’t obvious

It’s the same in German: /mɛʁˈt͡seːdəs/

Despite what other commentators say who are evil and eager to spread lies about the German language

Bringing evidence from the future is cheating. They wouldn’t believe you if you told them the truth but if you say you are a terrorist and placed a bomb in the world trade center, they might evacuate it

Ad hominem arguments never work very well. Just admit you don’t have all the answers to this totally relevant question and move on.

That’s because you don’t know about those who don’t

I think ultimately, the effect is similar to this and have no longterm effect.

Also I was joking. Everyone who sees this news knows Disney. Still, I don’t think it will harm Disney substantial. Everyone knows it’s evil and consume their products anyway.

Think about it that way: how many people read this news who never heard anything about Disney before?

All publicity is good publicity

I love how the last full paragraph shifts the narrative from tooting in general is strange to normalizing 2 toots, but a 3rd one???

Look at your calendar again, they repeat this date each and every year since than. Over are the times when 9/10 was directly followed by 9/12, and I’m afraid it’s over for good.
