zebedee 1 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Don't you just love it when the Japanese put "za" in front of one of their own words (za pretending to mean "The"). It makes me laugh. I just heard on the radion. "Za saiko ryouri" Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I like that too. They should use it more, it sure sounds cool. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 There is a local radio program here called "Za Kaigi". I asked someone why they used za "the" and they said it was just cool and fashionable. OF course. Link to post Share on other sites
DrMabuse 0 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 A local park in my area is now officially called "ザ・公園". What I want to know - if I was a Japanese parent and had a small child who asked me wtf "ザ" is, what do they answer? "It's English, Ken" "What does it mean?" "The" or "I don't know. Eigo wakaranai". "What does the mean" etc etc etc It's just plain daft. Link to post Share on other sites
