K I moved my brain a little bit...sorry but every forum is so different

....wtf it works now doh

why do the guys in the anime mostly end their sentences with ..ganega (or something.)
Most of the time the bad guys or the tough guys.
ganega has no meaning I think. So why add it?
its no like ka at the end for a question. they just add it like attebayo from naruto. but only naruto uses attebayo and ganega (or something ^^) is used in nearly every anime including bad guys.
What up with that??

Only guys? So where you live girls talk like they do in anime... hmm??!

Anime characters are sometimes a mockery of humanity you know. They are just fragments of personality, pieces on a chess board which move in only one direction, and only one or two squares at a time. Even if they may not be perfect, they look like it, or seem like it. After all, perfect beings would move in only one direction, unburdened by uncertainty in the world. That's why children can understand them, why they have their symbolism, their simplicity...

The majority of anime fans have a lot of their feelings rooted deep into elitist or absolute ideals and ideas, they will not accept just any characteristics. Anime characters, like characters of fairy tales, need to meet certain standards, at some point. Them having too much of a personality is something that would get in the way, that's why their personality has to be crystallized. They are normal, but they stay the same, they make choices, but only two or thee things determine them. Limiting their vocabulary, actions and subsequently, any sort of event, is one way of archiving the goal.

Just think of it another way...
If you had a character ring a bell every time (s)he would say something, then if that character were to say anything with ought ringing the bell, whatever (s)he said would now gather great significance; even if there is no meaning or importance in it. Adding more bells to your character exponentially increases the possible cards you hold.

The villain ends sentences with -ganega you say. Well eventually he's gonna have to give his speech; what if he, like other villains in anime, surprisingly loses his -ganega bell in that scene; how would you feel then. ~ Characters need bells and whistles for us to hear; and anime characters in particular use some really load ones sometimes.

It's just my opinion and my personal experience; so don't think too much of it. For what it's worth, series which don't use bells on their character do exist, but then I guess that is the difference between watching a show or just looking at animated blobs of colour.

So I'm going to give this a try;
Didn't you mean "Ja~nai~ka"?
which can be translated as [Janai = negative form] [Ka=Question form]

E.X: Suki = Like/Love
Suki Janai = to not like/love
Ringo o suki janaika = Don't you like apples?

So it makes sense that it's always placed at the end of a sentence and you might have noticed it.

Dxon · 2008-01-03, 05:13

Explains alot from you both. Although Cats misunderstood my question. They dont say that at home. The guys IN the anime say it a lot IF they are villains. ^^
Well..
Who knows a question now??

anti-random · 2008-01-03, 07:24

Is there a gld expert on animesuki forums? What the hell is cadium and no-cadium in reference to gold. I thought carat was the purity of the gold. I am in India yeah and I was at a shop whose policy is that exchange in gold is weight. Understandable. You can't trade an old 20g (22K) necklace for a new 20g (22K) gold necklace due to wasteage and making charges. However, we wanted to exchange the old necklace and have the price deduction of the new necklace so we pay for making and wasteage only. However, we we are about to sell the guy suddenly says that our gold isn't cadium and therefore we can only recieve 80% value. So, I was like WTF there the same carat. We didn't buy or exchange anything. Anyway, what's the difference between cadium and non-cadium (I don't know if I spelled cadium right)?

innominate · 2008-01-03, 07:48

I'm not any expert but I think Cadmium is an impurity that helps gold retain it's purity (ironic, but, yeah).

Can't find anything on wiki though. D:

I think you hit the nail here (for most characters). Which makes most characters appear strange, alien, at most funny (to me). Well funny characters mean comedy and comedy is good.

Well..
Who knows a question now??

There are two possible answers to your question, depending on what examples you're thinking of. The first is what most people have been saying, which as I understand it is that it's just something added for that character.

The answer I'd give is that you're picking up on something that exists in the Japanese language but doesn't really exist in the English language (or many other Latin-based languages). You probably know that in Japanese there are certain patterns of speech that are used exclusively by each gender (in modern times the barriers are breaking down such that women can now use "male patterns", but males do not use "female patterns" unless perhaps for comedic effect or to mimic a woman). Some of what you hear may be a macho-masculine form, which would appear very odd in regular speech but fits right in with movies and such.

Straight to the point! ^^ So thats why they just keep saying that in most anime's with villains. Those villain's are useally the ones with a lower voice and so much muscles that you would think he was a tree or mountain. ^^ So its the male pattern thingy for the tough guys being all tree-like.. AHAH! Answer solved! ^^
Thanks!
RESTECP TO YOU ALL!! ^^ (Ali G in tha house.

In the English language, which one would be more correct?

If I were an apple then I would be eaten.
OR
If I was an apple then I would be eaten.

I always thought it doesn't really matter but kinda thought that the latter would be more correct, but I have found out that the first usage is traditionally true due to something called subjunctive mood, which I don't even know what it is...
