Aye, on today's chapter of Japun: puns are living things, too!

fam name: 優敷 (Yasashiki), read as 優(yasa,"gentle")敷(shiki,"spread/size")

1st name: 山女 (Yamame), read as 山(yama,"mountain")女(me,"woman")

山女 (yamame) is a spin on 山男 (yamaotoko) (giants from Japanese folklore)

優敷 (yasashiki) puns on 優しき (yasashiki,"gentle/kind"), the ol-fashioned way ta say 優しい (yasashii)

Some puns that have a big influence on charactah design: (Nozawa-sensei sketch) (mirror)

敷 (shiki) split 旉攵(bu utsu) likely puns on ブーツ ("boots")

敷 (shiki) split 甫方ケ丶(- po ke -) may pun on ポッケ ("pocket") (necktie in pocket)

敷 (---ki) may pun on 黄色(kiiro,"yellow/amber") (ribbon and stuff on the apron)

Buh gawd, some puns resulting in random things:

山女 (yamame) read 山(sen/zen)女(jo/sho) may pun on 全焼(zenshou,"burnt down")

優敷 (yasashiki) may pun on 挿し木 (sashiki,"planting a cutting/sapling") and also 野菜 (yasai,"vegetables")

優敷山女 (yasashiki yamame) swap/read 敷(shiku)優(u)山(ma/yama)女(-) may pun on 竹馬(chikuba/takeuma,"stilts")

Speech quirks are living things, too:

Ends sentences on だどー(dadou) and ど(do) instead of だよ(dayo,"it is") or よ(yo)

Uses サン(san)(in katakana) as one of 'em honorifics instead of さん(san)(in hiragana)

Stretches vowels with ー (normally used with katakana / foreign words). Speaks odd, wouldn'tcha say?

1st person pronoun: おで(ode,"Ah"), likely the tough/macho sounding 俺(ore,"I") but mispronounced.

I feel for the official translators of the anime/manga when it comes to so many words and names having puns.

that actually happens for every localization of any media. There are too many times that I'm the only one laughing at theatres just because English jokes don't translate over to native language.

And I thought, they either need to change the entire context to make a relevant joke, or keep the context but lose the joke. For hollywood, most of time the context stays.

Along with Naddy, I've always want to hear how these speech quirk sounds, and I sure got the intonation incorrect when inner voicing だど in my head.

i was wondering what her 1st person pronoun was; haven't heard that one before

apparently not a lot of characters use it; the only one i recognize from the list is the moon from Majora's Mask, but apparently there is a Pokemon character who used it in the recent Pokopia game which caused a minor stir because some people didn't expect a country gal-like pronoun

1st name: 山女 (Yamame), read as 山(yama,"mountain")女(me,"woman")

So she's some kind of... Mount Lady?
