One of the major themes of the show was even as that humanity has advanced into space, all of our various personal conflicts and problems have followed. Tanabe is young, naive and doesn't realize just how shitty the world can be. Because of this she is annoying. She is a kid who thinks she knows the answers, but doesn't know jack shit. Much of the show is showing that her optimistic view of the world doesn't match up with reality.

>>133697167

No, because I'm romanizing the Japanese. Your issue is that the Japanese is not the correct Japanese transliteration of the original Greek, which is completely different. If Evangelion had mistakenly used soft "g" in its transliteration, I'd go with that in English, too.
>>133698428
Native English speakers tend to make a shitload of mistakes, m8. Then they go with it because there's too many of them for the meme to be stopped. The fact stands that

Ancient and modern are the same.

>>133697553
>the ancients would still pronounce it Yeoryios
Okay. You're a moron. Literally no one with any intelligence on the matter believes this. To explain it to a moron like you, there is a reason every language that borrowed georgios used g rather than y, b for barbaros rather than v, etc.
>>133698575
> (mistakenly) romanizing
At no point here have I even cited my romanization, just pointed to the actual katakana, so you have no way of knowing that.
>(mistaken) Japanese
Yes, as I said, that's a moot point that doesn't affect the fact that that mistaken Japanese is the title.
Puranetes
>>133698586
That reason being Latin and later English. Stop playing smart with things you're insufficiently educated about.
Why else would they make fun of "varvarians" for using the B sound too much?
>>133698677
Mistakes are mistakes, m8. A mistake due to the Greek-English-Japanese conversion changes is no less of a mistake, and can't be treated as anything else. Humans err, and the author is one, unless I'm wrong.
>>133698575
Wrong.
>In 403 BC, Athens took over the Ionian spelling system and with it the vocalic use of H (even though it still also had the /h/ sound itself at that time). This later became the standard orthography in all of Greece.
>During the time of post-classical Koiné Greek, the /ɛː/ sound represented by eta was raised and merged with several other formerly distinct vowels, a phenomenon called itacism after the new pronunciation of the letter name as ita instead of eta.
>Itacism is continued into Modern Greek, where the letter name is pronounced [ˈita] and represents the sound /i/ (a close front unrounded vowel). It shares this function with several other letters (ι, υ) and digraphs (ει, οι), which are all pronounced alike. This phenomenon at large is called iotacism.
>Eta was also borrowed with the sound value of [i] into the Cyrillic script, where it gave rise to the Cyrillic letter И.
Where the fuck do you get your facts? Give me a source.
Classic greek eta is "e" and e alone.
>>133698749
Again, the author making a mistake doesn't mean that's not the title. I'l leave the thread now, though, since we're just going in circles.

>>133698807
>Ancient already had two ways to say the 'e' sound, it didn't need to steal a third one from another sound.
Your English misinterpretations are too widespread to stop, but that doesn't make them correct. You even call it "eta" because English confuses e and i, so you get confused too. It's supposed to be ita (イタ).
>>133698817
Btains.
>>133698749
>That reason being Latin and later English.
There were multiple languages in antiquity that had both g and y and that borrowed words from Greek directly and they always borrowed gamma as /g/ in every position (pre-Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Aramaic, etc), beta as /b/ (even the languages that has both b and v, such as Persian), "ai" as "ai" (not e), eu as "eu" (not ef or ev), etc etc.
>Stop playing smart with things you're insufficiently educated about.
Find me one non-Greek source academic source that agrees with you. More importantly, show me that the academic consensus favors your bullshit.
>Why else would they make fun of "varvarians" for using the B sound too much?
It wasn't about the sound of beta, it was about the syllable "bar" and its repitition.
>>133698934
That's irrelevant, but the fact that you'd dismiss someone being a native speaker as insufficient shows exactly how valuable your opinion is.
>>133699039
Then explain to me why there was a completely separate digraph (γκ) for the G sound. Were there two ways to say G and none to say Y? Or are you just being an idiot?
Also, it was both.
>>133698960
I'm not English, I'm Italian.
You don't know what you're talking about, you've been proven wrong again and again and never provided a sourfce to your claims once.
ETA IS "E". STOP.
>>133699136
I forgot to mention another digraph, γγ. So you're saying there were three ways to say G and none to say Y. Sounds legit.
>>133699171
>b-but I said ur wrong, stop being right ;_;
>>133699136
>completely separate digraph (γκ) for the G sound
Wrong. In Ancient Greek, γκ was not a digraph. It was "ng + g" (IPA ŋɡ ). Neither was "nt" a "d", nor "mp" a "p"; they were nt and mp respectively.
You are pretty much acting like the ancient Greeks were retards when they made the alphabet initially. Only as time went on, culminating with modern Greek, did the letter-sound correspondence become rather fucked up.
>>133699315
Give me a text that proves your bullshit or fuck off now, this has been dragged for too long.
>>133699315
In Ancient Greek, γγ was "ng + g". Again, not a digraph.
As further proof, when Ancient Greek borrowed words from other languages that did have a y, Ancient Greek did not use gamma, it used iota. Why? Because Ancient Greek did not have a y sound, so they used the vowel iota to approximate it.
>>133699537
No, I'm acting like you're a retard, because you're saying what I described in >>133699315, and that's pretty retarded.
Also, why would γκ be needed as two separate letters, when they weren't used at all in that sequence? G, on the other hand, was used.

>MANATEE

Yes, and the author made a mistake. Keep raging.
>>133699640
> why would γκ be needed as two separate letters, when they weren't used at all in that sequence
But they were. Again, as proof, if you look at languages that directly borrowed from Ancient Greek words with that letter sequence, they didn't just write "g", they wrote nk, or ngk, or gk (depending on the language) in every position.
>>133699679
>And when English borrows words from Greek, it replaces all the Vs with Bs. Does that mean English doesn't have a V sound?
Modern English does not borrow any words from Modern Greek, only Ancient Greek.

No, faggot, there are rules to poetry and from those rules you can infer what words sounded like. And there are written works in latin by people who have literally heard what it sounds like and left an objective account. You don't need to hear the ancients when you can use your brain.

Regardless if it is the modern greek or ancient greek, english "k" is the most common approximation of that sound (Arabic "Khalid" has the same sound as modern greek and is also pronounced as k in English)
>English has made plenty of mistakes that managed to spread far too wide.
People disagreed with you way before English became influenctial
>I don't think there are many around.
You're a literal retard or troll right here.
>Most of them become known via English
And where did English get these?
>I've studied both, too.
Maybe in a Greek classroom. Italians also teach latin using italian pronunciation rules. You can't trust that.
>Foreign words get corrupted when spoken between natives of another language. Ever thought of that?
Listen to the retardation you are spouting. You are making the claim that EVERY SINGLE TIME languages borrowed from ancient greek, EVERY SINGLE LANGUAGE made the same exact mistake. Systematically. You are also claiming that EVERY SINGLE TIME ancient greek borrowed words from another language, they also made the same mistake EVERY SINGLE TIME systematically.
Specifcally, you are claiming that EVERY SINGLE TIME they heard another language use y, the ancient greeks EVERY SINGLE TIME made a mistake and used iota instead of gamma.
You're beyond retarded.
>If it has both, you're supposed to use the correct one.
And they usually did.
>>133700849
We aren't french anon. And certainly the mangaka did not have french in mind.
>>133701068
>certainly the mangaka did not have french in mind
No, he definitely did, he just made a mistake and wrote it with the wrong alphabet.
Easy mistake for someone not from the West to make.
>>133701129
But not only did he use an "(n)es(u)" syllable in the Japanese, he deliberately wrote it in Greek.
Not to mention the title does not refer to planets, it refers to (space) wanderers, and only Greek has that meaning.
>>133701207
No its definitely French. I studied French for years, trust me.
>>133701002
-His, hermit, hormone, I can think of plenty of words with that sound, which is far closer to the correct version than 'ch'. So that takes care of that.
-People judged things by their own limited experiences, as you're doing now.
-"ur wrong lol" isn't an argument.
-Foreign words get corrupted when spoken between natives of another language. Ever thought of that?
-Again, you make too many assumptions.
-Yes, to Greek-ify it. Just like 'stomahi' got turned into 'stomach', to English-ify it. That sort of thing has conventions. It's not a hard concept to run through your atrophied brain, m8.
-You sure aren't using the correct one now.
>>133701207
A character on the show even references the old Greek meaning.
>>133701478
>Foreign words get corrupted when spoken between natives of another language. Ever thought of that?
Repeating something makes it true guy? Can't respond to that guy's arguments?
This is truly an awful thread, good work /a/.
>>133702194
That's the answer, guy. The fact that it triggers you doesn't make it less true.
>>133702247
But like that guy said, you are acting like the same corruption was made all the time (as in, like, a Persian guys "y" is always borrowed into Greek "i" rather than "g"). How you you support that idea?
>>133702376
Because
>That sort of thing has conventions.
All this hullabaloo, when people are ignoring the obvious answer: The Japs misspelled 'Planet' and are too embarrassed/indifferent to change it.
I feel like this is some epic new meme that I missed the inception of.

It's just a dedicated crank, and people feeding him.

In all fairness, there were a lot of points it made. That was just one of them.
Why can't we have shows like Planetes anymore?
>>133702484
Not exactly, they confused planet (プラネット) and planetes (プラニテス) resulting in プラネテス.
CHING CHONG DID NOTHING WRONGI think this is the right webm.
>>133702458
What do you mean by that? There were no widespread conventions that everyone had in antiquity. And if you think someone how Latin made everyone borrow things wrong, languages borrowed from Greek earlier than latin + it still does not explain why different greek areas did not use gamma for foreign y.

I never found Tanabe particularly annoying, honestly.
As for anime Tanabe being more annoying than manga Tanabe, she's barely a character in the manga. We get backstory, some feelings about heradoptiveparents and a scene or two showing her morals and that's about it for characterization. Oh, and then she goes full autism in the 4th volume, which came out after the series aired.
>>133703684
Don't remind me.
>>133691956
プラネテス
>/a/ - linguisticsJanuary soon
>>133704835
I don't recall her going full autism in the 4th Volume. Although that's likely because she's not really there for most of it due to all of the chapters focusing on Fee.
>>133706223
She met a dude that she was immediately convinced was actually an alien, remember?
>>133706414
You're right. I'd forgotten all about the Baron.
>>133706908
Lucky you. The last 20 or so pages of volume 4 are fantastic but for the most part it feels like filler, which is a problem considering how goddamn long it is.
>>133706216
I wonder if we're going to have another Planetes stream. The last one was great because of how many were seeing it for the first time.
>>133695363
Nice you had nothing to say to back yourself up. I can do it too.
Durrr. Anyway, go back to /v/, okay?
>>133709976
He has a point, though. Half the reason for the conflict of the second half was that Hachi was thinking purely in terms of 'me' rather than 'us'. He even states as much at one point. If he'd just slowed the fuck down and had a proper conversation with Tanabe about things, it would've gone a lot better for both of them.
>>133703135
The manga was better.

Most Latins were perfectly bilingual.

Oh look finally a planetes thread!
It's literally arguing about how to pronounce it.
wtf /a/.
>>133691956
plah neh tehs
fuck english pronunciation. How you faggots figured that "e" should soun like "i" while "i"should sound like "ayyyyyyy" is beyond me.
>>133711058
Pretty much my reaction.
>>133711058
>wtf
This has happened before. Multiple times. Because people have discussed the series to death. This thread has more discussion about the series than you're going to get otherwise. You'd just get a dead thread most of the time.
And it's still better than circlejerking over nothing like all those generalfags. In fact it's a million times better, because I can be glad that my memory of actual discussion is actually good.
>>133710205
>perfectly bilingual
Don't be stupid bud
Plenty today are perfectly bilingual in English but they don't speak with RP or whatever accent you want to prioritise.
I'm not reading the cluster fuck above but nobody seems to give any reasoning behind why they've used that particular pronunciation, so let's all just accept it's debatable and put the whole thing down to piss poor classical language teaching.
>>133711291
>Planetes generals
Don't even make me contemplate the horror.
>>133711058
It's better than no Planetes thread. Try bringing up a topic, anon.
>>133711058
Still the most intelligent thread on /a/.
>>133703122
They had an entirely different way to spell the G sound.
>it still does not explain why different greek areas did not use gamma for foreign y.
That's exactly what it explains, genius, they used the same conventions for every word they imported. Just like English does.
>>133710268
Not him, but it's true.
>>133711593
First you're wrong, I've provided plenty of proof already.
Second I din't think you know what you're talking about, Latins had greek slaves that usually were teachers and they spoke greek since they were born, they were bilingual, they didn't simply speak two languages.
>>133714520
First of all, convention Los did not exist. Did you think uneducated foreigners who were illiterate could know of or would follow convention even if it existed? You are saying its convention, but conventions start someway. How can you believe that everyone who borrowed from each other all messed the first time? Give me another language that everyone borrows incorrectly from.
By the way, if you were right, that means ancient Greeks went full retard with the alphabet, having multiple letters for the same sound. The only languages that do that are ones after having made their alphabet developed sound changes, but here you were saying the Greeks were retards
>>133714607
It's not, some might do, not everyone. Stop generalizing.
itt murrikans trying to speak another language.
This fucking thread I swear
Peel - nate - ease
>>133714900
Sure, not all of them. But enough do that I think it can be cited as an example. I'm sure some Greek teachers of Ancient Greek use ancient rather than modern pronunciation of Ancient Greek too, but many don't

That's not what I meant, what I meant is that, as for every context, there are people who do things in the wrong way. The same is true for every country, if anything the teaching of ancient Greek and Latin in Italy is SUPERIOR to almost all the other countries.
>>133714865
Convention among Greeks borrowing foreign words did exist, dumbass. Also, I repeat,
>They had an entirely different way to spell the G sound.
And yes, they did have multiple letters for the same sound, albeit with small differences. Omicron and omega? Eta (ita), iota and ypsilon? Ever heard of those?
Why are you trying to argue about something when you lack fundamental knowledge? Is it ebin?
>>133714978
>>133715075
see >>133695007
>>133716519
The Eta is pronounced tha same way as the Epsilon in ancient greek, it's not "ita", that pronounciation is wrong.
How long must this shit continue?
>>133716674
>>133716674
>Eta is pronounced tha same way as the Epsilon in ancient greek
No, actually they were two different e-type sounds, both distinct from iota
>>133691956
you pronounce it planetes
I always pronounced it like something between "pla-nehts" and "pla-neyts" because it looked like french but apparently that was super wrong. Good anime regardless.
>>133694935
That's correct you idiot.
I always pronounce it as
Planet-tess

YES YOU RETARD THE "NI" PART OF THE ONI-CHAN.

I hope you're not expecting me to take you seriously after you demonstrated your ignorance on such fundamental matters.

>>133720171
That ship set sail long ago.
>>133719919
>omicron and omega were two entirely different sounds.
They were two distinct o-type sounds
>>133714860
>Latins had greek slaves that usually were teachers and they spoke greek since they were born, they were bilingual, they didn't simply speak two languages.
Which dialects of Greek did they speak? For example Diogenes was born and grew up in Ionian Sinope and then spent his middle adult life in Attic Athens. The old guard Spartans spoke Doric Greek, Alexander spoke Macedonian that was similar to Greek but the Attics disowned for a long time, and Homeric greek was yet another literary dialect. I'll give you that there's rudimentary discussion of dialect but it's copy pasted or maybe at best paraphrased from a book or rote or something. Poor teaching, poor learning.
But anyway, to say we can know a sound from how it rhymes with so many different dialects and pronunciations is nonsense. Even if we can agree on for example Attic greek as being the dialect par excellence, how Greeks spoke in oration was different to how they spoke in the agora. You can read it in Plato's Apology, you can see it in ancient Greek works of poetics or rhetoric or grammar. The language of oration is different to day to day greek. Even if we assume that the Latins were incredible at transcribing the phonetics of the Greek they heard (probably not great) we don't know what kind of Greek or w/e was being used and at best we get a hodge podge.
On the other hand, Ancient Egyptian remained similar enough to Church Coptic that Church Coptic could be used to translate hieroglyphs somewhat. This might seem insane but it goes to show the power of oral language staying somewhat consistent, so the other guy saying "I speak Greek now" is not necessarily that bad an argument. It's not great but then neither is the "my classics profs said so". At best we can say it's really such an academic point that it's pointless to argue about it.

>>133702689
>>133705621
>>133695943
It's greek pronounced in the queen's english and spelt in katakana in japanese because that's how japanese pronounce foreign languages
So プラネテス pla-ne-tes is correct if you're refering to the title of the show and not the greek word it was named after.
Basically if the title has a japanese katakana spelling then that's how you read it. You read it in japanese and not the original language.
>>133723913
>Same sound, different length
The same is valid for the Epsilon and the Eta.
What's your problem?
>>133723913
Sorry but no.
>>133723969
Btain.
>>133723991
Then how do you explain the 'ai' digraph?

Sorry if it triggers you, but yes.
>>133724543
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
>>133724543
Not even british, it's just how foreign languages are pronounced in japanese, and since we're talking about the japanese anime, the original greek pronounciation is meaningless.

>>133727701
Again, provide source or lose. The author named his manga Planetes (プラネテス), not Planetis.
>>133727963
For the fifth (5th) time: the katakana is wrong. Is it really such a hard concept to grasp?
And "Planetis" doesn't mean anything, it's プラニテス.
>>133728228
You must have read a different manga then. This is a Planetes thread.
I dont get it. Are we arguing whether i or e provides the correct sound for the word?
>>133728846
I know how it is pronounced.
The thread seems like 2 anons arguing which one is superior in greek linguistics
Threads like these reminds me of the debates where people argue if it's a moon jump, a bounce house, or a bounce castle.
(It's obviously a bounce house, get over yourselves)
>>133728620
>>133728846
Yes, and for the sixth time, the author got it wrong.
I wonder how many times I'll have to repeat the exact same thing until you get it.
>>133729097
Again, if you can't provide source then I have no more time to waste on you.
>>133728983
But it looks like a castle, therefore Bounce Castle
>>133729343
By all means, run away. You won't change the fact that it's the letter Η/η, which is pronounced い and not え.
Unless you need a seventh time to figure it out. Do you?
>>133729744
Are you saying castles can't be houses?
>>133725543
then what does >>133724543

and did you even read what i wrote? it's how the japanese breakdown foreign languages in katakana.
>>133729097
Who the fuck are you to say the author is wrong? It's his manga retard, and if that's the way he wants to pronounce it then that's the way it's going to be read.
This isn't a manga about the greek word planetes you autistic burger. Are you too stupid to even realise this?
>>133728983

>>133732492

No, it's not a "way" to do anything, because it's not a standard word. It's not on any dictionaries. It's an one-time mistake.

Yes, pronunciation. Which is not プラネテス but プラニテス. The former is wrong. 間違ってる. Do you understand now? Or do I need to tell you a ninth (九th) time, hmm?
Funny how you say "digging yourself deeper"; you're trying to play smart about language, while being unable to use basic functions of language such as capitalization and punctuation. So you're doing exactly what you just said.
You're good as a jester, but not as a poster.

Are you retarded? How exactly does English figure into this? It's a Greek word borrowed by a Japanese. I repeat: are you retarded?
And thanks for parroting my words, you're showing that you can't come up with anything worth repeating. Also learn what a strawman is, describing exactly what you're doing isn't one.

Planetes is a Greek word, not an English one. Still waiting for you to tell me where English factors into this. Go on.
And no, telling you that you're proving yourself to be untrustworthy (and a retard) with your ongoing actions is not a strawman. It's the painful truth.
Greek anon, Greek has changed over time. eta used to be pronounced as an e sound. Only in more modern Greek is it an i sound. This is academic consensus around the world. Even Greek scholars accept this.
The Japanese author chose the Ancient Greek pronunciation, not the modern Greek. It is as simple as that.

>If you're referring to that list that actually takes something as ridiculous as Erasmic "pronunciation" into account, then you'll have to try harder.
Are you saying that all the academic linguistic professionals in the whole world are unable to get over tradition and be objective in their research?
Also, may I ask a few questions? Let's assume you were correct and Ancient Greek was pronounced like modern. Why did the Greeks then invent an alphabet with more than one way to represent the same sound? Why did they use epsilon in some cases, and "ai" in others for example? And what about the aspiration mark on words like the Greek spelling of "Harmonia"? If that was not showing an h sound, then what was its function? And what about the digamma letter that came to be no longer pronounced and dropped in latter spelling?
Please take the time to explain these
>>133735892
It's not "pronounced" in English, it's only interpreted. It's only pronounced in the language it exists in, which is Greek. Not English. English is irrelevant. So, where's that dictionary entry? I'm still waiting.
You're trying to convince me that your retarded commentary is true, aren't you? You need trustworthiness there. Or are you just trying to convince me you're retarded? You're succeeding there, at least.

But anon, I said that, assuming you are correct about this, why did the Greeks make redundant letters. That was the question I asked. You have not answered it yet.
You have also not responded to any of the other things I said. Please do.
>>133736250
It's not an English word, tard. Unlike 'planet'. Also, look at the cover in >>133696602, do you see the title in English there? No, it's irrelevant. It's not in a dictionary, and it's not part of anything official. This is about a Greek word and its mistaken Japanese interpretation.
English is irrelevant, and you're completely and persistently retarded.
As I said, keep parroting my words. It makes me look much better in comparison.
>>133736325
Because, as I said in that post and you apparently failed to read, they represented similar but slightly different sounds.
Now, you'll have to prove why someone as fundamentally ignorant as you is worth talking to.
>>133736065
>>133736325
To clarify, I don't just mean redundant letters. I mean why would they use alpha + iota as a digraph for the sound epsilon makes. Why didn't they just use epsilon for every case of e, and alpha + iota for any cases of the a+i ? Why make digraphs at all?
>>133736417
see >>133736408
If you don't even know how digraphs work, how can you expect me to find value in anything you say?
>>133736408
"ai" and epsilon" are exactly the same though in modern greek (and apperantly ancient greek according to you). So is epsilon + upsilon & epsilon + phi/beta for example. They have the same exact pronunciation now, and thus according to you, the same pronunciation in Ancient times.
Another notable example is how the sound of iota is exactly the same as ει, οι, & υι in Modern Greek (and thus according to you, Ancient Greek).
Explain these.
And please actually answer the questions I asked in >>133735956 this time please.
Pluh nay tess
>>133736507
>If you don't even know how digraphs work
A digraph is when two letters, instead of representing the sequence of the two letter, represent one sound. I get that.
What I am asking you is why, when the greek invented their alphabet, did they, in addition to using epsilon to represent the e sound, they also for some reason redundantly use alpha + iota, which is exactly the same.
Evvven if you are claiming they were not exactly the same, why did the Greeks not make an entirely new single letter to represent the other sound instead of making two letters represent one?
>>133736369

>once again i repeat myself, i did not say it was an english word

>>133736709
If it's not an English word, then how exactly is English relevant in any conceivable way, you utter retard? I'm waiting for you to tell me. Go on.

because like i said in >>133735892
>i never said planetes was an english word, i said it was pronounced in english. it doesn't have to be an english word to be pronounced in english
the relevancy is in how the author pronounced planetes in english as pla-ne-tes and then translated it into katakana プラネテス
i have repeated this multiple times in multiple ways
you see? you just refuse to read my arguments and instead keep trying to twist them
i never once said planetes is an english word but you keep saying i did
you either failed to comprehend what i'm saying or you're just getting desperate, pick one
>And yes, you're parroting exactly what I say, including
because you are acting the exactly that way
>>133736840
Why do you refuse to answer the other questions?
>They made them for the same reason any language makes digraphs, or other #graphs; convenience.
No language makes digraphs for convenience. All languages that make an alphabet have one-letter-one-sound. How is writing two letters for one sound sensical or easier? Languages that make their own alphabet don't have digraphs in the beginning. Only sound change makes that happen (look up monophthongization).
Look, imagine you were making the alphabet, and you have two sounds - the epsilon sound, and something similar. Why would I not make seperate letters for both? Why would I make one of them a single new letter, and the other two old letters (instead of also a single new letter)?
Also, I don't think you speak modern greek now. ι, ει, οι, & υι are all exactly the same sound in Modern greek. There is literally no difference between them.
>>133737076

>>133737041
It's not "pronounced" in English. The word planets is pronounced, planetes is interpreted. There *is* no such thing as an English pronunciation, unless you show me a dictionary entry. Which you can't.

And by all means, keep parroting my words. It only shows that yours aren't worth repeating.

so you're saying foreign words can't be pronounced in english?

I pronounce it as Planets
>>133737246
They can be interpreted, correctly or not, but there's no official "pronunciation" involved. The only official one is the original language's, and the English "version" carries no weight in anything.
Understood, or should I repeat it again?
>capitalization and punctuation
-are parts of language
-you're trying to convince me you're right about language
-you're failing at language
-therefore what you're saying is wrong.
What part don't you understand, son?
>>133737173
>I know it's the same in modern.
>they represented similar but slightly different sounds.
This is a contradiction. I am saying ι, ει, οι, & υι are all exactly the same. Do you disagree and claim there actually is a slight distinction between all four?
Or are you saying that in Modern greek they are the same, but in Ancient Greek, they were all distinct single vowels? If so, give me the ipa of each vowel

Do you think the author pronounces it "Puranetesu" or "Puranitesu"?
>>133741541
What dictionary? It's a fucking manga. Is Jojorion also wrong because it isn't in the dictionary?
>>133741757
It's obvious the author was trying to pronunce it in the greek language, he made an error it's no big deal.
The question should be, should we pronunce it the way the author thinks it should be or how it was meant to be.
My dad is greek I just asked him, the other greek fag is right.
>>133694403
>I have never had genuine ambition because I am a NEET
>>133741757
The former, and he's wrong.
See a few posts above:
>>133740839
>Therefore it's not linguistic canon, and the mistake in it is not justified by anything. Is that simple enough for you, or should I repeat it?
Apparently, it wasn't simple enough for you, and I had to repeat it.
>>133740504
>Yes, and where's the English in there? It's Greek and Japanese. English is irrelevant.
you just said japanese is irrelevant, going back on your words like the retard you are
also english is relevant in how people read プラネテス in english dumbass, how many times must i repeat this
>A typo is hardly the worst thing, since you neither punctuate nor capitalize.
more ad hominem kek
and it exists in the title, didn't i say so already? stop repeating the dictionary nonsense you retard, we're talking about the title of the anime
see >>133740669
>>133740839
>The author misspelled a word
misspelling a word means it doesn't exist as a title? KEK
>>133741809
did your dad write the manga? i think not, no one gives a shit about the correct greek pronounciation except you retarded greek fags
we're talking about the manga/anime titled プラネテス, mistake or not that's what we're calling it because no one fucking uses the greek name for it
>>133742569
Like I said that's what you should be discussing. Fine, he stilled pronounced it wrong so who cares.
>>133742618
your greekfag friend who can't seem to let up that no one gives a shit about his correct greek pronounciation
>>133742110
It is justified, in that, that was what the author decided to name his manga, planetes and not planites, and that's why everyone calls it planetes.
>>133696436
>>133695888
>>133695541
>>133695502
>>133692026
all of these posters? all me.
I'd like to see our greek anons email the author to tell him to change the title because he mispronounced a word instead of making pointless arguments on the internet because they can't stand the fact that no one gives a shit about the greek pronounciation.
>>133742443
English is utterly irrelevant, Japanese is simply mistaken. You tried to bring in English as a comparison, which was retarded.
プラネテス is not English, it's a Japanese reading of a Greek word. It has nothing to do with English. Do you understand what 'nothing' means?
And do tell me why proving you're worthless at something doesn't disprove your arguments about it. Go ahead. I'm waiting. Go on.
>misspelling a word means it doesn't exist as a title?
ctrl+f btains again, tard.
>>133742820
I repeat: btains. He tried to write something specific, and he made a mistake. That doesn't make it an 'alternate version', since we know what he was trying to write.
Simple enough for you, or will I have to repeat this too?
>>133742937
And stop being so asspained because you were proven wrong, one post is enough.
If Greece is filled with retards like Padapoapolis over here, no wonder their economy went to shit and they can't fix it.

>English is utterly irrelevant, Japanese is simply mistaken. You tried to bring in English as a comparison, which was retarded.
>プラネテス is not English, it's a Japanese reading of a Greek word. It has nothing to do with English. Do you understand what 'nothing' means?
except we're all speaking english here, so yes english is relevant
japanese may be mistaken, but it's still the title, why do you keep arguing this?
>And do tell me why proving you're worthless at something doesn't disprove your arguments about it. Go ahead. I'm waiting. Go on.
because it's ad hominem, it has no relation to the argument about the title
how can you not understand this? how stupid are you?
>btain again
kek seriously now, btain or not, the title is still プラネテス and is still refered to in english as planetes
it's not an alternate version, it's what people call it in english
yes we know he named it after the greek word, but no one calls it that, neither does anyone pronounce it with the greek pronounciation
this is such a simple concept that you refuse to grasp just because you want to flair your e-peen at random anons about your greek correctness, that no one accepts, so you might as well just give up now
>>133743030
You didn't prove anyone wrong, all you did was go on and on about unrelated nonsense.
>>133743212
>>133743331
>please stop having actual arguments, I can't take it anymore ;_;
I suggest not making assumptions, they only humiliate you.
>>133743241
The English pronunciation of the Japanese title is irrelevant. And where's your canon source on the word? Where's the dictionary entry? There is none. Therefore, only the original is correct.
You're trying to convince me about something language-related, while completely failing at language. (And logic, too.) Do try to tell me how it's not relevant. I'm waiting. Go on. Tell me exactly how sucking at something makes your opinion on it more valid. I'm waiting.
The title is wrong, and no matter how much you writhe that's not changing. What people call it in English doesn't matter, because it's **utterly irrelevant**. It's a Japanese reading of a Greek word. Do you understand that? Should I say it yet again for your insufficient brain to process it?
>>133743417
>assumptions
where are these assumptions you speak of? do you even know what that word means? no one assumed anything, the japanese title is right there
>canon source
the title of the show of course, we are talking about the anime and not the greek word
>dictionary entry again
give it a rest already, stop forcing your stupid logic onto other people, it's a title of a show, it's obviously not going to be in a dictionary
>only the original is correct
and? we're not talking about the original greek word here, we're talking about the anime titled プラネテス
>What people call it in English doesn't matter, because it's **utterly irrelevant**
except it is relevant because we're all speaking in english and since there is no canon english title, we're reading it in english based on the katakana spelling PURANETESU, planetes
again this simple simple concept you just can't comprehend just tells everyone you're a fucking moron
the title may be wrong, but we're not talking about the greek word, we're talking about the title, so your arguments are completely irrelevant
should i say it yet again for your insufficient brain to process it?

-So all the posts were you? Good to see you're not denying your samefagging.
-I'm talking about a dictionary, dumbass. A title is disputable, a dictionary isn't. And this title is wrong. Dumbass.
-As long as it's not in a dictionary, it's not canon. It's disputable. In this case, it's demonstratably wrong. (See? I said the same thing twice again. Your parents must be having trouble raising you.
-The anime's title is a mistaken transliteration of a Greek word, as I explained to you in >>133702689.
-We're saying the Japanese name of a Japanese series, which is the corrupted version of a Greek word. English has absolutely **nothing** to do with it. Do you understand what nothing means? No canon source, no dictionary entry, nothing. Irrelevant. That leaves us with only the Japanese, which is wrong.
The title is wrong. Plain and simple. The author tried to write something very specific, something we know, and he made a mistake. Btains.
And by all means, keep parroting my words. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
>>133743417
Where's your canon source on an anime called planites? There is none. Therefore, only the original is correct.
>>133744041
The canon source is the Greek word from which it was taken, dumbass. The only relevant source. And you can use Google Translate's text-to-speech for that. Also, keep it in one post, I told you it's pathetic. (If you're trying to hit autosage so your suffering can end quicker, keep in mind that we can continue this in the archive. And I assure you, I'll keep milking you for amusement there.)
Are you guys still arguing over this?!
I'm glad /a/ is still /a/utism. Wouldn't have it any other way.

>replying to your other arguments against other anons means it's me
kek, you're too self concious
>-I'm talking about a dictionary, dumbass. A title is disputable, a dictionary isn't. And this title is wrong. Dumbass.
well i guess you better look for a thread about the greek word planites then, because this thread is about the anime planetes
i never said the title is correct, that's just your assumption. you claim other people are making assumptions yet can't source them, while you yourself constantly make assumptions to back your arguments
you're the only one who cares about the title being wrong, the rest of us only care that the show is called planetes
and since we're calling the show planetes in english, that makes english relevant whether it is correct or not, i have explained this so many times, you're just being stupid now
it doesn't have to be in a dictionary to be correct, it's what the manga and anime are titled that make it correct in the context of refering to it in english.
how else are we sopposed to refer to the show in english then? please do tell what we should call this show in english then
see >>133744041
>>133744130
That's funny, I don't see an anime named planites.
>>133744223
>b-but-
nope.
-It's about a title that's wrong, as Google Translate's speech-to-text function could prove, if you weren't too scared to try it. Which I just told you, try to pay attention, son.
-You're insisting that it's an "alternative interpretation". It's not. It's a clear-cut mistake, and no amount of spasming around can change that.
-You apparently care enough to try to bullshit your way out of this for a day straight, trying to conceal the fact that you have no arguments by insisting on more bullshit such as "sucking at something doesn't make my opinion on its proper use less valid". I'd love to see you try to debate that, but you're too scared, I take it.
-We're not calling it anything in English, you monumental dumbass. It's a Japanese title taken from a Greek word. English doesn't factor into this in any conceivable way, no matter how much you whine.
-It's an obvious corruption of a certain word that the author was trying to write. Btains, son.
-What should we call it? Type πλανήτες into Google Translate and listen. That's what we should call it.
>>133744284
You see ΠΛΑΝΗΤΕΣ, which is just that. And keep it in one post, see >>133744130 for how pathetic you're being.
>>133744284
It's on the cover, the nip mispronounced the word. I don't know why you fucks wont let this other greek faggot just win. He's right it's mispronounced.
>>133744479
i never said the title wasn't wrong, you just assumed it, in fact i did say the title is wrong, and what of it? so what if the title is wrong? that's how we're still going to refer to it, what's your point in all this?
i never once said it was an alternate version, in fact i said it WASN'T >>133743241
and i agreed it was a mistake, as usual you fail reading comprehension
you're making assumptions again, either that or you're just twisting my words as usual
my argument has always been that the title is planetes, even if it is wrong and a mistake
>opinion on its proper use less valid
i never once made an opinion of proper use of capitalization and punctuation, that's what you've been doing
>We're not calling it anything in English
then how do we refer to it? dumbass
>>133744218
the irony in this, don't you realise he's talking about you? i haven't made any bullshit, i've constantly stuck to the fact that it's named planetes
you're the one who's been making bullshit up in every single post, about nonsense like assumptions, which i'm still waiting for you to tell me where i made any assumptions at all, while on the other hand you are full of them
>hoping I'll get tired
>If you're trying to hit autosage so your suffering can end quicker
these are your assumptions and bullshit
how self concious do you have to be? are you trying to do the internet badass routine cause that only makes you look like an idiot
>>133744723
and i did agree he's right, but he's just constantly been telling me i didn't as if he can't read english
So it's pronounced "planets"?
>>133744736
No, you dumbass, we're not referring to it in English. English has nothing to do with it. It doesn't factor into this.
Repeat:
> It's a Japanese title taken from a Greek word. English doesn't factor into this in any conceivable way, no matter how much you whine.
Insisting that "it's the title so it should be pronounced that way" is doing exactly what I'm describing. And that's retarded. Btains.
Repeat:
>insisting on more bullshit such as "sucking at something doesn't make my opinion on its proper use less valid".
If that isn't desperate bullshitting smokescreen tactics, then what is?
Repeat:
>btains. He tried to write something specific, and he made a mistake. That doesn't make it an 'alternate version', since we know what he was trying to write.
Of course you can't read English, since I have to repeat things to you over and over.
>>133745086
ok so then what do we call the show in english
>That episode where the guy from the 3rd world tests his suit
>That scene where he cries looking down on earrh as the UN invades his country
>"Looking down from here there are no borders, this is how it should be."
>Doesn't even care that it will never be used, just wanted to prove his country could do it
That was the most memorable episode in the show for me.
>>133745173
On the same lne as that scene, I've always loved the scene in the final episode where Hakim encounters Nono.
>Recovering weapon to continue terrorism
>Encounter small child
>Child asks if he can see your country country from there
>"You can't see any of them from out here in space, but I still do"

>If that isn't desperate bullshitting smokescreen tactics, then what is?
LOL what does this even mean, you really think you're some internet badass fighting a war or something? that's truly pathetic
at the end of the day the japanese will still refer to it as プラネテス and everyone except the greeks and retards will call it planetes based on the katakana spelling
it doesn't matter that it's wrong or you're right, you're just gonna have to accept that no one except the greeks care about the original greek pronounciation or spelling and are not going to use the greek word to refer to the show
i'm still waiting for an answer to this >>133745107
>>133745173
This and moon girl's "sea" were my most memorable episodes.

than admit you were wrong. That's beyond pathetic, son.

>>133746170

Your words: "I may fail tremendously at language, but that's irrelevant, you still have to respect my opinion on language!"
Anything else to say, son?
Yes, it is wrong, because a) English is irrelevant and b) the katakana is wrong.
>why don't you google planeetes
Do you think that's an answer, or that it's smart? I knew you were retarded, but this is seriously bad. Why don't you google πλανήτες?
>>133746308
>Your words: "I may fail tremendously at language, but that's irrelevant, you still have to respect my opinion on language!"
i never said this, stop making assumptions
i have googled it, why don't you? do you see the anime in the results?
also from the planetes wiki
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%80%CE%BB%CE%AC%CE%BD%CE%B7%CF%82
the actual greek word isn't even planetes or planites, so all your arguments about planites have been worthless
however, my arguments about プラネテス still stand because it's the official japanese title, as well as the show being called planetes in english by practically everyone. just accept it already even if it's wrong, that's how it's going to be
>>133746308
>Why don't you google πλανήτες?
why don't you google planetes
checkmate
>>133746580
I pointed out your gross mishandling of the language, you said I need to explain how it's relevant. That's literally and exactly what happened, son.
The plural is πλανήτες (planites), the singular is πλανήτης (planitis). See? I educated you again.
The "official" title is objectively wrong, since the author tried to write a Greek word and got it wrong. Not arguable. Just plain wrong. And when something's wrong, we correct it. Like your parents should have done with your education, given that it led you to say things like
>"I may fail tremendously at language, but that's irrelevant, you still have to respect my opinion on language!"
Any further elaborations on your retardation?
>>133746712
What sort of checkmate destroys your own argument? All it returns is links about the anime in English, which is irrelevant to begin with, especially since it can't decide whether e is pronounced え or い. We're talking about Japanese, dumbass.

What are you trying to prove, seriously? That a word that is ***not used*** in English has few results? What I gave you is the pronunciation, not how to look it up on Google, you monumental retard. Try the Greek words if you want any relevant results.
English is irrelevant, not the anime, you monumental retard. You should have gotten schooled in the basics of logic and reading comprehension, complain to your mom about that.
>>133747289
Yes, the correct version shows five hits, the mistaken one has 412k.
Counting is apparently hard, you should have asked mommy to teach you.
Okay so how do you pronounce "planetes"
>>133747406
i'm trying to prove that people call this anime, planetes or プラネテス, as simple as that, not planites or planitis or プラニテス
why is this so hard to understand lol you sutpid? kek
the greek words don't even give you links RELATED to the anime, which IS THE POINT
>>133747406
>Yes, the correct version shows five hits, the mistaken one has 412k.
you dumb son, by mistaken one i'm refering to プラニテス in reference to the actual title relating to this anime プラネテス

"People" are wrong. The author misspelled the word, meaning it's wrong. When we see mistakes, we correct them, like your parents should have done with you, given that you turned out
>sutpid
The English words I gave you are the phonetic pronunciation, which you were retarded to even look up, and of course the Greek words won't give you the anime, because they literally mean "planets". How retarded are you?
プラニテス is the correct one, プラネテス is the mistaken one. That's not debatable, since it's not even ancient Greek, but modern. Ergo, you're a complete and utter retard, and an embarrassment to whoever made the mistake of raising you.
>>133747673

>Yes, and the title is mistaken. You still haven't realized that's exactly what I'm saying? How retarded are you?
you're the one that hasn't realised that i agreed with you, many times over, yet you keep parroting yourself over and over like an idiot and refuse to accept the title as is even if it's the official title
that's autism max
the title will still forever be プラネテス and planetes in english, and this you can never prove otherwise
checkmate, son
>>133747993
One click is enough, son.
The title is mistaken, and mistakes are meant to be corrected, as someone should have told your parents. When people ask what the pronunciation is, they'll be given the correct one, not the wrong one. No matter how much you bitch, whine, parrot everything I say, and spam 'kek'. The title is easily proven to be wrong, you can just ask Google Translate.
Also,
>"sucking at something doesn't make my opinion on its proper use less valid"
is autism.
checkmate, son
>>133748104
fun fact, i never once said your pronounciation was wrong, so you've been arguing for nothing
i only ever argued the title is プラネテス in japanese and planetes in english and that is fact, despite being wrong or not
you're autistic for being unable to comprehend this
>still no source
>can only parrot himself
>imitating me
thanks for proving my right, i'm flattered
>>133748283
You're even parroting my "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" post.
What I've been saying from the very beginning is that the Japanese title is wrong. Your parents didn't correct their mistake, but normal people do. As for "planetes", it can be pronounced both ways, and >>133695007 is the right one.
>"sucking at something doesn't make my opinion on its proper use less valid"
This is autism. I'm actually enjoying imagining how desperate you must be to act so idiotic just to avoid saying "I was wrong". Your ego must be hilariously fragile.
>>133748355
>What I've been saying from the very beginning is that the Japanese title is wrong
yes you're right, it's wrong, but how does that change the fact that the title is still プラネテス and planetes
>"sucking at something doesn't make my opinion on its proper use less valid"
you're the only one that has been saying this, why do you keep insisting on it
>>133748355
>I'm actually enjoying imagining how desperate you must be to act so idiotic just to avoid saying "I was wrong"
lol where is this even coming from, how am i wrong?
i never once said the title is correct, i said the title is プラネテス
you sure love to tell everyone else they're wrong, even when they agree with you
you realise you're the only one in the thread who's been telling everyone they're wrong
ego much?
>>133748586
Yes, and mistakes are meant to be corrected, as someone should have told your parents. When people ask what the pronunciation is, they'll be given the correct one, not the wrong one. No matter how much you bitch, whine, parrot everything I say, and spam 'kek'.
>and how is all that related to how the title is pronounced?
>also you never answered how trustworthiness is related to capitalization and punctuation
Your own words, son. That's exactly what they say. "I'm a retard, but my opinion is still important!"
The title can be corrected, if you spell it the right way in English, which is as simple as >>133695007 or checking Google Translate. Mistakes are meant to be corrected. Tell your parents that.

>The title can be corrected, if you spell it the right way in English
>except that's not the official title

ok you win, you're right, i'm wrong lol
but the title is still プラネテス and planetes lol
>>133748851
How is it out of context, when you were trying to argue language and I was telling you you can't into language? It doesn't get more relevant, son.
'Planetes' can indeed be spelled in both ways, and is where the misunderstanding in >>133702689 originated. The truth is just beyond the Google Translate.
Also, it's funny seeing you repeat everything I say word for word, and then accuse me of repeating myself. You know what they call that?

>>133749021
Two different things, tard. You were literally saying what I told you back to me.
And it's irrelevant because you can't into the very basics of language, but you're trying to play smart. It doesn't work that way, son.
And one post is enough.
>>133749178
One is not enough.
>>133749230
It is, unless someone's trying to hit bump limit and end his suffering ASAP. Too bad the archive is waiting.

-You need to learn what those two are, I'd love to see you in a debate group.
-That's exactly what you're doing, plus parroting.
-What agenda, you think I'm trying to brainwash people? You're just retarded.
>"sucking at something doesn't make my opinion on its proper use less valid"

Can't we get along?

It's not hard to be badass compared to some kid who starts spamming 'kek' when he sees he's not getting anywhere, or actually googling pronunciation descriptions unironically. In fact, I'm sure 99% of the mankind is.

IN RELATION TO THE TITLE AND NOT THE WAY IT IS PRONOUNCED
your lack of comprehension is astounding lol
jesus give it a rest already, it's truly amazing how much of an autistic neckbeard you can be lol
>>133749999
Nice nines but I am not who you were talking about it.
>>133749999
You actually googled the pronunciation descriptions. That would have gotten you absolutely nowhere, it was sheer retardation.
Stop trying to make excuses, it's beyond regular pathetic. It's turbo-pathetic.

that was the point i was trying to make genius
that the title is プラネテス or planetes and not the correct greek pronounciation

/a/: telling authors what to call their own work, one percieved error at a time.
>>133750116
Googling the pronunciation instructions would have gotten you nowhere, no matter what you were looking for. It was a completely retarded move, and you're a complete retard for even thinking of it.
Watching you squirm under the weight of your own idiocy is equal parts amusing and pitiful.
>>133750121
Planeetus.
bye all
>>133750180
Yes, you tard, he tried to write a particular Greek word (the word you see on the cover) and got the katakana wrong. See >>133702689 for the details, and stop being an idiot.
>>133701207
Actually, 星 does as well.
>>133750220
>Yes, you tard, he tried to write a particular English word (the word you see on the cover) and got the roman wrong. See >>133750180 for the details, and stop being an idiot.
>>133750278
TLR is an obvious pun, you tard. You can't compare the two, there's no pun in ΠΛΑΝΗΤΕΣ. Unless you can find one?
>>133750182
what part of, that's the point i was trying to make, can you not comprehend lol
seriously wow, just wow, this is really a joke lol
irregardless of pronounciation, the title is still プラネテス or planetes lol
>>133750341
There's absolutely no point you can reach by googling the pronunciation instructions, because they serve no other purpose than to get you to understand what they sound like.
It was a tremendously retarded move, and watching you try to justify it is like watching a fish splashing around near the surface of the lake and insisting that it's not wet.
>irregardless
Yep, it's a tard.
>>133750323
酷い、プラ兄ちゃん! (-.-)
>>133750388
>There's absolutely no point you can reach by googling the pronunciation instructions, because they serve no other purpose than to get you to understand what they sound like.
and that's exactly the point i was trying to make lol, that googling the pronounciation is meaningless, because that's not the title lol
we've already established that you fail you comprehend that AGAIN, so stop repeating it lol
read this again lol >>133750341
>the title is still プラネテス or planetes lol
>>133750472
I never told you to google the pronunciation instructions, you monumental retard. Why would you even think of doing something so retarded? What did you imagine it would get you? Go ahead, tell me.
Also >>133702689.
>>133750521
i never said you did lol, i was trying to make a point lol
>>133750116

this is the 4th time i've had to explain this lol come on lol
>the title is still プラネテス or planetes lol
>>133750610
There was no point to be made from such a tremendously retarded move, tard. All you proved was your utter incompetence.
Also >>133702689 (You).
>>133750640
lemme break it down to you so you can understand lol, read these extremely carefully again lol

absolutely nothing THAT is the point, that there is no point googling the pronounciations, because that's not the title, lol good god 5th time, 5TH TIME lol
the title is still プラネテス or planetes lol
>>133750750
No, that's not what it got you either. I know the *pronunciation instructions* are not the title, I wrote them. If someone told you that alliteration is spelled "al-litter-ray-shun", would you google "allitterrayshun" to prove him wrong?
No, unless you're a complete retard. Which, apparently, you are.
>>133750840
>I know the *pronunciation instructions* are not the title
that's what i've been trying to tell you all this time lol, why didn't you just admit i'm right and we could've been done with this a long time ago lol
>>133702689
>Not exactly, they confused planet (プラネット) and planetes (プラニテス) resulting in プラネテス.
>resulting in プラネテス
>in プラネテス
>プラネテス
and thus the title is プラネテス or planetes lol
i'm glad you finally understand lol
>>133750966
Spamming 'lol' won't make you right, son, just like spamming 'kek' didn't. Why would you even think that the approximate instructions I just thought up would lead you anywhere except knowing how to pronounce it? How tremendously retarded are you? What sort of retarded thought process would lead you there?
Congrats, you understood the author's mistake. It's what I've been telling you all along. And it only took you a full day! Well done.
