       @siina @mametsuko @hj To me german and derived languages tend to have those very agglutinated "words" that other language tend to put separated via spaces and/or dashes.And I forgot if suomi has german inspiration or not on that.

       @mametsuko@fedi.absturztau.be the last one was a bit hard to read for me.Reading it the way I hear it, I would write "yoroshiku" or fully German and leaving out vocals in appropriate places "yoroschku". (Probably I would go with English "sh" because German "sch" is weird and write "yoroshku".)But apparently there's an established transliteration scheme where you write as "si" what you say as "shi"?This would also explain why you thought "isi" is pronounced as "ishi"...

       @newt @mametsuko Age of consent in Japan is difficult. There are increasingly vague laws with rising ages. If you want to be on the safe side, they should be at least 20.

       @RO635 I think in the tutorial video they said that "Yoroshku onegaishimas!" means something like "Please be good to me" and "Yoroshku" alone would be something like a less polite "Greetings!"
