This is Yukkuri demasu!
I still translating Kazura’s Chapter 21 (only 4000 more words, okay I admit I don't make a lot of progress today)... So in the mean time let’s just
read another Hiki-NEET story...
Just imagine this chapter as a 4chan thread...
Because I’m not familiar with Japan and English bulletin board slang (the
only board I routinely visit is worldbuilding.stackexchange, it’s not a good
source of net slang), so feel free to correct and help me. Since I will make
mistake since the Japan netter like to cut or shorten the words...

【Hiki-Neet】I finally came out after 10 years, but my home came to another-worldish
place 【Overcoming?】

Ah...... I’m really speaking the truth!
「For the sake of overcoming my Hiki-NEET,
I finally came out from my house after 10 years. Then, outside the house yard
was surrounded by forest.......
My home came to another-worldish place.」

[1] (ry = ryaku 略it means: “you can guess the rest”.
[2] The original is Source ソース: the Thread Opener I just read the list of Japanese Net Slang and found that it means: I don't this will get nothing more complicated
[3] It means: I am no.1
[4] The original is JK: 常識的に考えてJoushikiteki
ni Kangaete It means
thinking logically
[5] Not エルフErufu: Elf. But エロフErofu: that came from エロEro and エルフErufu that means: Erotic Elf.
[6] They mean no.1 had behavior pattern that a woman will
do.

the writer.

[12] Remember that Bitch: Female Dog
On English boards like this, the thread opener is usually referred to as "OP" (Original Poster)
ReplyDelete"jk[4]"
"Joushikiteki ni Kangaete It means thinking logically"
Should change this. In English, "jk" usually means "just kidding" or "joking", making it sound like the poster was only joking.
If you want an english equivalent that might fit this situation better, theres "imo" (In my opinion), or "iirc" (if I recall/remember correctly). Neither mean the same thing, but both would fit in this context.
Sorry for the late replay... (you comment are inundated by the other comment...)
DeleteAfter searching the Japan net slang (and asking around), I found that my original interpretation for the Source [foot note No.2] is wrong.... I have corrected it...
And also, I change 'jk' to 'iirc' per your suggestion.
A bit late to the party here. If you want a good list of modern, English net slang, check out the spacebattles forums. They have a thread dedicated entirely to the archival of net slang as used on the site, though many of them are quite dated. Urban Dictionary also has net slang on their site in addition to regular street slang. Hope that helps.
ReplyDeletewas that really a chapter??..haha...it was a new type i think
ReplyDeleteMan did I get a headache from reading this. Makes me wonder if everyone on that thread is retarded or if it was just badly translated... Or maybe japanese people actually write like this on forums. Not sure. I don't blame them for not believing him though. Why the fck would you be connected online if you went to another world, and the water is running too along with the house having electricity without wires...
ReplyDeleteLol Koutaro is a bitch
ReplyDeleteWholesome neets... now ive seen everything
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter.
