hellyer 216 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 The question is why is this emoticon called a wakaranai when all the others are in understandable english? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted July 28, 2009 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted July 28, 2009 That is simply just a decision I think I made when we were putting them all together, snowjunky. We made those ourselves you see, and had to come up with names for them all. On reflection perhaps an English word would be best - but you can always just click on it to get it in there. Sometimes the Japanese comes quicker than the English. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I like it. When I first saw it I assumed from the emoticon the meaning, however I also looked it up - and learnt something. When stuff is not written in romanji on here I usually get the eldest son to translate if I want to know the meaning. Stretch your mind snowjunky ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
