Could someone help me???

[juancamilo87]

Hi to all...
I'm starting to learn japanese, but I really don't know to much, so I'm looking for a translation of some words, the pronunciation, could somebody help me???

Wind
Fly
Ultimate

If someone knows how to pronounce it on chinese, hawaiian or finnish please let me know...

Thanks

[Vodrake]

Wind: Kaze ('Ka' pronounced as in the ca of 'car'. 'Ze' pronounced as in the ze of 'zed.')

Fly: Hae (I think) ( 'Ha' pronounced as in 'Hahahaha!' :P 'e' pronounced as in the e of 'hello')

Fly: May be 'Keiyou' as well/instead.

ultimate: ???

Hey man, thanks... I searched everywhere and at last I thought the obvious place...

Ultimate might be Ougi but i really have no clue.

[Chopstickx]

ultimate=kyuukyoku (im not entirely sure if thats the most common way to using it tohugh =S)

[kuchiki_byakuya]

wind: kaze
fly: tobu (the one vodrake used is used for the house fly)
ultimate:?

(the one vodrake used is used for the house fly)


Whoops. My Bad. :redface

Did both of the words I put for it mean House Fly?:blink

Wind: Kaze indeed, (Kah-zeh), 風
Fly: To fly is indeed tobu, (toh-buh), 飛ぶ, but something like "flight" (i.e., noun) is hishou, 飛翔 (hih-shoh-oh).
Ultimate: A toughie, since there's more than one word with more or less equivalent meaning. It may depend on the context.

kyuukyoku, 究極 would be the first to spring to mind. It means the "most extreme".

The first element, kyuu, means to carry to extremity.
The second element, kyouku, means extreme.

Ultimate usually means that.

ougi (oh-oh-gie), 奥義 is not not actually "ultimate", it's "ultimate martial arts move".

The two characters that make it up are ou and gi. Ou means something like, at the very end. Another reading for it is Oku, like in Oku-san (Wife/Missus)

Gi is something moral/righteous/ceremonial/whatever. An ougi is something you learn at the end of your training in a given art.

Note that kyuu, ou, kyouku and other characters like "motomo" may combine to form words like ougi, which don't mean ultimate in general, but in a very specific sense.

Oh, and Keiyou is to fly as in to fly a flag. ;)

ougi (oh-oh-gie), 奥義 is not not actually "ultimate", it's "ultimate martial arts move".Actually, "ougi" doesn't necessarily apply to just "martial arts moves". Its most basic meaning is "the deepest secret of a given art or study"... or something like that.

Also, given how I've seen "ultimate" used in video games and such now-a-days as a pure noun, "ougi" probably isn't all that unreasonable a translation in the end, for that context anyway... You know, something like "the hero used his ultimate to kill the monsters".

Did I not say this, though :rolleyes: ?

Why yes, I did.
