== Userspace & Signatures == | |||
The {{bp|userspace policy}} says no more than three userspace edits per day, not to mention that the site message states "'''edit userpages as little as possible'''". Over 10 edits to your sandbox, for personal content... Sorry, dude, but your userspace privileges have been revoked. We may return them to you after the server conditions are back to normal, as long as you make constructive mainspace edits through that period.

Like the one you just made in the Template namespace should have been made in your userspace FIRST. After that you should have asked an admin for approval. We can't have useless templates up like that. I hope you understand.

*1. It's a Japanese game. I see no reason why would they derive the name from Chinese. | |||
*2. A Japanese man will pronounce the word 集合 as "shuugou", not "jihe". | |||
*3. You speak Chinese, so you should know that "j" is just a foolish spelling of PinYin romanization. It's pronounced with a "ch" sound, not "j" sound. | |||
*4. What the hell does Jihead have to do with gathering? | |||
Hope you understood. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:12, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
:*1. I know. But it's a historical thing. Kanji are now a part of Japanese language. | |||
*2. But it no longer is. In Japanese Kanji are read only in on- and kun-reading nowadays. Chinese doesn't play any role in Japanese language anymore. Also, no other Pokémon name was derived from Chinese, unless the Pokémon itself was based on some Chinese thing. This doesn't apply to Jihead. Dragons are everywhere. Chinese is no longer the most influential language in the East. New Chinese-derived words in Japanese is a rarity. | |||
*3. Great argument... I happen to know Chinese phonology system and I happen to know that Mandarin Chinese doesn't have voiced consonants at all. It only has unvoiced and aspirated ones. "J" is unvoiced counterpart of aspirated "Q". Neither are pronounced as in English. You know Chinese, so you should know NOT TO ASSOCIATE PinYin spelling with the pronounciation. | |||
*4. That's the most farfetched thing I've ever heard. | |||
*5. What the hell? I DID sign my message. I always do. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:31, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
Page has been protected because of counter-productive editing. Talk this out instead of reverting it out. —'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 10:41, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
::Thanks trom.--[[User talk:444Zekrom|<span style="color:brown">444</span>]][[User:444Zekrom|<span style="color:black">Z</span>]][[Zekrom|<span style="color:blue">ekrom</span>]] 10:42, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
:::*1. It no longer does. Most Chinese loanwords in Japanese now sound nothing like Chinese. The languages evolve. Japanese has evolved greatly since Middle Ages and so did Chinese. While it's true that on-yomi reading of Kanji evolved from Chinese, they really drifted apart from each other by those years. Also, modern Chinese no longer sounds like Middle Chinese (especially Mandarin, which is one of the most peculiarly evolved dialects. Cantonese or Min-Nan are way more conservative). | |||
*2. Keep in mind that Game Freak are game creators, not linguists. They don't care about such things as ages-long evolution of a Chinese word to Japanese. Nowadays "Shuugou" and "Jihe" sound nothing alike. Game Freak aren't etymology specialist. | |||
*3. What dialect do you speak? Certainly not Mandarin. Mandarin doesn't possess voiced consonants, like English "j". | |||
*4. Really, if GF really wanted to name their Pokemon after gathering, why would they choose the Chinese word? Pokemon names in Japan are mostly derived from Japanese and English. Using a Chinese word sounds really unlikely for them. Also, I still don't understand what makes you thing that Jihead's name would be derived from gathering. Okay, his heads "gathered" into two. But it's still very farfetched and over-complex. GF doesn't choose such far-fetched origins for the Pokemon names. | |||
*5. You have a bad sense of humor. | |||
*6. I happen to be a linguist. | |||
*7. Good that the page is protected. Also, thanks for an edit conflict. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:52, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
::::Why not? How much does one cost? (so, I've convinced you, haven't I? That's very good.) --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:05, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
:Well, I don't speak Chinese, nor am I learning it. I'm just a linguist (not philologist), this means that I don't study particular languages but languages in general. However, I've always been taught that Mandarin Chinese doesn't posess voiced consonants but only aspirated/unaspirated pairs (as opposed to Min-Nan and Shanghainese, which do have voiced consonants). [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_phonology Even Wikipedia agrees with me]. But it probably talks about very literary Chinese, maybe the more colloquial one does voice consonants at times ('cause, you know, languages evolve. And the Mandarin spoken in Singapore may be different than one from PRC). Or, by any chance, maybe the English you hear is not very correct. I believe that pronouncing voiced vowels is a big problem for a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese. I focused on Chinese pronounciation, but it may be possible that the person you asked pronounce English "j" wrong. Well, anyway, sorry for acting as if I knew more about Chinese than a native speaker does. Nonetheless, I still see the "Chinese word for gathering" theory as highly implausible. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:40, 3 November 2010 (UTC) | |||

Just curios about it, why did you warn MAGNADETH? Do you know he's our Admin + E.B member?
