vlcatko wrote:Hi,

I have this problem with translating my nickname - Vlčátko (Vlcatko without diacritic) - which is a familiar/cute expression for wolf cub.

I know cat is neko, kitten koneko, dog inu, puppy koinu and so on. Wolf is ookami - but wolf pup? I think koookami is not possible, right?

Would someone be able to help me with this? Please and thank you :)

Lucie - Vlcatko


I've looked around a bit but I haven't been able to find anything conclusive. I'll ask someone the next chance I get, but so far the only things I've found are ookami no ko (child of wolf, pretty uncommon too) and shi (offspring, off of a page describing various aspects of the animal.) Nothing equivalent to "cub" has cropped up in my searches yet, but if I do find something I'll post it here. Just thought you should know: your post isn't being ignored.

Hello there! My name is Jacob Herbert. I'm pretty sure my name is pronounced
Jekabu Habato but how would it look in katakana or hiragana? Some help would be nice thanks. :)

Most likely, it would look something like this.

こにちわ。みなさん、

My name is Mark Rivera. I just started studying japanese for fun. I think I know how to write my name in katakana but I would appreciate it if someone else verify how to write it.

ありがとうございます

I'd say マーク・リベーら or リビエラー, but there are no set rules. Go with whatever sounds good to you. :wink:

Sorry but not quite. Eric is usually spelled エリック, and the use of a sokuon (ッ) before ヤ is practically unheard of. エリック・ボイヤー is a much more realistic spelling, though since there are no strict rules, you could get away with it the other way.

For the other one, there is a common katakana word for "world" and it is spelled ワールド. So 「ワールド・ビー・ボイヤー」 would be my recommendation.
