Reina preview (for my new animation) up for you wonkeyers!
nice one EriUK!:thumbsup:
oh teh wonkees-r-us!!!XDDoes Reina mean anything specific in Cantonese/Mandarin?
i don't know if it has a specific meaning in Cantonese/Mandarin:(
but i did a little research on our wonky:heart:princess name and let's start with the obvious...
as you all know tanakacchi's name is
Reina Tanaka and its kanji equivalent is
田中麗奈 but since there's a Japanese actress called Rena Tanaka their names is the same when written in kanji so tanakacchi's professional name is written as
田中 れいな wherein her first name(given name) is written in hiragana to distinguish her out of the other, take note that this is the way her name is written on PBs and magazine articles.
ok lets get on with the translation and again let's start with the obvious...
Reina is a Spanish origin meaning queen or peaceful
and according to to a website i found about kanji names Reina is translated as follows...(note that this is based on kanji character translations so basically this might not be accurate since i'm not familiar with kanji characters) "Rei" means "sound of jewels" and "Na" means "Nara", an old city in Japan and also
REINA is a rare kanji name in Japan and i did not find an entry for it on Japanese name databases on the web.(even her name is unique for her nationality:heart:)
and to add some fun stuff from the song
Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 3(Story of Noisy Girls 3) which EriUK used in his wonky:heart:animation...i'm going to translate tanakacchi's line...
The "Re" in Reina is for "renshou"
renshou = "ren"=succession, continuous, series "shou"=victory, to win
The "I" in Reina is for "ichiban"
ichiban = Ichiban without an adjective can be used to simply mean "the best"
The "Na" in Reina is the "na" in "nice"
na = Na is a particle of connection for example "kirei + na + onna no hito = a pretty woman" (i totally lost it in this part coz i think she used "nice" coz when you pronounced it in english it has the "na" sound "
nays".
credits goes to Wikipedia, Wiki PPN and ProjectHello.com and thanx to JTRIX for bringing up the kids name topic and JFC for the question that i failed to answerXD...by the way the info above is just a product of my own research so feel free to hook me up when you find more concrete info about it:) coz i'm planning to write tanakacchi's biography in the future, and yes i am nuts!XD that's all folks!
wonky:heart:powaaa!!!
