Nope directly translated it's anime. There are no dash thingys in the japanese language (discounting the mini circles and quotations which I forget the name of). The thingys are, like you said, for pronunciation. ah-nie-meh.

Actually, that's not quite correct. Standard transliteration utilizes conventions of the target language, not the source. It's irrelevant whether Japanese utilizes the acute sign; the languages using the Latin alphabet do. Furthermore, the acute is (in this case) used to represent the stress: an-i-me, but typical English pronunciation has become an-i-me, so Link Æwondåslåmon's phonetic spelling is a regular colloquialism.

Confusion could ensue because normally macrons are used for stress.

Maybe i should go and ask one of my friend that studies japanese so that we could sort this out like friends.

Not if you don't have any such punctuation signs on your keyboard.

Well I mean it could happen depending on who actually translates it. But when I learned Japanese from Japanese people in Japan there were never acute signs in a translation. Ever. And I haven't ever seen any used when the Japanese use the romanji for it either.

Pure gold jeffala.

[Lt. Col. Mcoy]

That's good, Jeffala.

And Fettucchini, I guarantee you that no Chinese person who learned the sounds of the Latin alphabet is going to spell "Ze-Dong" as "Tse-Tsung," but that's how we spelled it for years. It's whoever came up with the first transliteration that makes the standard (unless the standard changes, like for Ze-Dong). No matter how much common sense may object.

[Rasunda]

Yes Jeffala, the trade mark go me!

LOL jeffala pure gold.
