Storm

Since there's a lot of Arashi fans all over the world, I'd like to ask you guys:

How do you say 'Storm' in your language?

Since I'm from Malaysia, in Bahasa Malaysia, if we say 'Ribut' it means storm :3 So since I'd like to make a little list of sorts, I'd like to know how you'd say 'storm' in your language ^^

The list so far:
1. Malaysia: Ribut (pronounce: ree-boat)
2. Japan: Arashi (Kanji: 嵐, Hiragana: あらし)
3. Sweden: Storm (pronounce with a longer 'o' sound: 'stooorm') [Tack så mycket, Sofia!]
4. Hungary: Vihar (pronounce 'vee-har') [Köszönöm szépen, AnitafromH!]
5. Italy: Tempesta [Grazie, Martina Chan~!]
6. Mexico (& those who speak Spanish): Tormenta [Gracias, minaviga!]
7. France: Tempête [Merci, Winkychan~]
8. Germany: Sturm [Danke schön, Nanao!]
9. Philippines: Bagyo [Maraming salamat, Yuubi!!]
10. Indonesia: Badai [Terima kasih, risu_chan!]
11. Thailand: Paya (pronounce 'pa-yu') [Kob kun, kikkizz!]
12. Vietnam: Bão Tố (pronounce bao-to) [Caam uhrn neow, CoolnCute!]
13. Poland: Burza [Dziękuję, Klara!]

I'm from Sweden, and actually we spell it just like that: STORM . Same as the english, just a little different pronounceation.

sakurai-storm
ooo, that's interesting :D i'm curious though, how do you pronouce it in Swedish? ^^
AnitafromH
I'm from Hungary, and here we say VIHAR !!
Hope it helps to make your list:)
sakurai-storm
yay~ thank you for your reply ^____^ ooo, how do you pronounce that? as in vee-har? :D
Sofia

well it's kind of hard to explain, but I guess you could say like this:

The O is sounding more like when english speaking people say a long OOOOO (you know when they're like surprised or something). The rest is about the same as english.

Does that make any sense at all?

sakurai-storm
i think so ^^ it's like a longer version of the english, something like 'stooorm'? :D yosh, i'm adding this to the list ^____^
Martina chan
In Italian we say TEMPESTA^^!!
sakurai-storm

sakurai-storm
yay~ thank youu~~ ^____^ haha, yes, I know how to pronounce it since we're neighbours :D and the word isn't that hard to pronounce hehehe~
yuubi
Hehehe... i've been too busy downloading all the S&G performances! I really love them all! My fave was Utaban because Jun is soooo good looking in there... its just that the sakurap was not complete >_<
and also, doing my duties at aibakaland too...it just takes too much time there at the forum but i'm happy as long as i'm doing it for the love of our boys ^^ and then lots of reading at vox and LJ... i don't comment a lot but i do read the posts. Hope you're doing fine ;)
sakurai-storm
^____^ well, as long as you're okay, ne? ah, aibakaland's been busy with the new sections and stuff right? I can totally understand :3 I'm there often too...just don't want to be a mod coz I'm too lazy X3;;

oo, Utaban was awesome! Loved the Hana Yori Arashi part though Nakai had to spoil it XD;; I was looking forward to watching Riida's performance too but they had to get into another fight lol~
Kytana
Ah crap... both my languages are up already! XD
sakurai-storm
XDDDD well, if you know any other languages, I'd still add it in ;P *squishies my kawaii Kytana-chan* ( ^ w ^ )
Kytana
*looks at the list* Well, in the Philippines, there are different dialects.. *thinks* Gah.. I wish I knew more languages.
sakurai-storm
you're not the only one darling X3; If I had the patience to learn more languages, I would...right now I only speak Malay and English...I want to add Japanese to my list, no matter what :D

oo, really? I didn't know about the differences in dialects ^^
Kytana
I used to speak to Tagalog but since I'm an American, kinda lost it. So, I speak perfect English and only understand Tagalog. XD I'm teaching myself Japanese and Tagalog so I'll be ready for a trip to Japan next year. Plus, It helps to understand most shows w/o reading subs.

Hai.. there's like over 300 dialects! XD
sakurai-storm
omg, 300? XDDD;;; eto, might not be able to write all of them on the list should they ever appear though, ne?

uwahhh...you're going next year? ;___; ii ne...don't think I'll save enough for a trip next year, even though I so want to go to commemorate Arashi's 10 year anniversary, but I'm sure all their other fans (local and overseas) are planning the same thing .____.

yeah, I can understand what they're saying well enough for my own comprehension...it's just the reading that's though X3;; I'm still struggling through my kata and hiraganas, though there are some kanjis that i can already recognize ^^
Kytana
It's fine. I'll find a couple here and there. :)

Yeah.. next summer. I'm trying to get some of you to meet up w/ me. HAHA So, we'll c. I hope I have enough money by them. I plan for like 2-3 weeks so I have tons of time to go look at everything. Plus, I want to attend an Arashi concert.

Hai! I'm bad at reading but I'm good w/ verbal... basically I'll pick up the language if I continue listening. hehe
sakurai-storm
omg, i had a typo in my last comment O.o tough became though XD lol, brain working too fast for my fingers to follow again XP

oooo, going for their summer con too~ sugoi~ yosh, we'll see how this goes lol~ I'll try hard to get there by summer next year too! At least I'll a) know someone and b) someone that speaks English XD;; and of course, I'll get to meet yuuuu~ ♥ wow, 2-3 weeks? ahhh...my heart's saying "let's go, let's go now!" XD

uwah, atashi-tachi onaji desu yo ne? sugoi, sugoi~ lol, i think sentence structure still eludes me...Grammar sucks for any language, ne? ^^;;
matkik

Pa-Yu

i heart "Paya"

sakurai-storm
sugoi~ arigatou! eh...you pronouce it 'pa-yu'? ^____^ i heart 'paya' too! :D
AnitafromH
Yeah, something like vee-har:) I know that hungarian words are hard to pronounce, but vihar is not that much hard:) so vee-har can be ok:)
Kytana

Yes yes.... it would be great to get a group of us from all over the place. Boy, I'll be 26 next year... *falls over* That means I can rent of car if needed. HAHA I want to go now too but no money. :p

Eh? I got desu yo... hahah
sakurai-storm
i'll be...25 next year hahahahaha~ XD yay~ well, technically i'll be 25 but since i turn 24 in December, I'll be 24 for the better part of the year lol~ i love being born at the end of the year XD *is irrelevant as usual* honto ni ne...~ although I'd be happy just riding the trains everywhere :DD well, except to go to an onsen or something lol~

XD i said 'we're the same, aren't we? amazing, amazing~' :DD *squishies*
Kytana
I better get some good shoes too cause there's gonna be a lot of walking and a new battery for my camera. Hhhmm.. luckily I'm a year away... so I have plenty of time to think about it.

Ok.. I was wondering. XD I was like, 'this seems off?' To answer the question in
English, yes. hehehe
yuubi
Haha... i was actually thinking of you when we had opening for mods...I thought you'd be great in Art section ^^ But then, its up to you. Its a lot of work and time... I haven't watched the talks only the perfs. I know... i know I'm missing a lot.
sakurai-storm
ah, i would have volunteered...if I didn't realize the opening too late lol XD; my bad, really. I wanted to post up my story, then I noticed the announcement...by that time i think it was closed already :P oh well~ i'm not sure how to be a mod anyways... ^^;;
