Does anyone know what this means?
 
Hello everyone :)

I have a question. A few years ago my boyfriend wrote something in Japanese in my diary. It says this:

Shin Hitori Honoo

But he won't tell me what it means! :p So please, I've been trying to find out for so long. Could anyone help me?

TenshiChan 03-03-2010 04:28 PM

Isn't this right:

Shin = true, real
Hitori = alone, only
Honoo = flame, blaze

I just can't make anything out of that? I do have a guess, but I'm not sure. I need someone to tell me what it means. :p

Makes no sense whatsoever. Don't tell me he's my countryman.

Well, he has studied Japanese for about five months (this education actually takes four years but he quit) and then he wrote this in my diary. So it might be a wrong sentence, I don't know..?

Are you sure it's wrong?

I am more than just sure. I'm a native speaker! :mtongue:

Well that's pretty damn awesome lol. :cool:

So I've waited for years to get this translated and then it turns out to be a wrong sentence. Crap. :D

I'm probably going to study Japanese this year. I'm excited, but I hope I'll be good enough to learn the language.

What if it said: Watashi no shin hitori honoo?

Would that still be wrong? Because someone else told me that might be what he wrote.

Who is this someone else? Another romaji-user?

The new "phrase" makes NO sense, too. Are you jokng? How can you just add "my" to the gibberish and expect it to make sense?

I don't know. Don't ask me, I don't speak Japanese.

Maybe I remember the words wrong. I should go find my diary and post the Japanese characters here. Because he wrote in Japanese.

TenshiChan 03-03-2010 05:20 PM

These are the characters:



Does it maybe make sense now? Was I wrong? :p

TenshiChan 03-03-2010 05:21 PM

I don't know if the characters even make sense. I don't know Japanese. I was just hoping it would mean something.
