Junpei's Name Spelled Wrong?
http://www.jumpeishiina.com/
Do you think it matters to Shiina Junpei that his name is spelled wrong in the website URL? They spell it "Junpei" throughout the whole website, so I figured that this was either an odd mistake, or that I'm probably just missing a crucial bit of information about the Japanese language. Can anyone fill me in? |

when you have the two sounds butted up together, they temp to make the 'M' sound. So its not "wrong" its just "another way."

the m/n sound only matters when its at the beginning of a word.

Nothing strange about it. It's assimilation. And there's no single M in Japanese. The Nish ん is the closest one. Actually it took me a long time to figure out ん is not exactly N either. It's just a nasal sound, you don't have have to put your tongue onto the top of your mouth. In that sense it's more like "ng" to me.

So anywoes!
I might see Junpei live tonight - granted I'm able to go "early" from work (that is, not work until I have to run to catch the last train!) And I'm actually looking forward to it. It might turn out to be one of those experiences. |
