joewari da
sent it to my friend who’s minoring in japanese
it’s so joewari da for me
Me, who knows no Japanese, wants to know what it says! Let me into the meme! :let-me-in:
ジョー jyoo is Joe
おわり owari means ‘the end’
だ da is a copula basically functioning like ‘is’
The pun runs the o of ‘Joe’ into the o of owari to get jyoowari da or ‘It’s Joever’Thanks! It even works when you drop the kanji and hiragana into google translate.
Coolio! Worth pointing out maybe, there’s no kanji in the sentence. The ‘Joe’ is written in katakana, which is the more angular text and used kinda like italics (for foreign words, emphasis and onomatopoeia). The rest is hiragana.
Like a Dwarf Fortress dwarf having a strange mood. Sometimes I wake up and my nose is bleeding and I’ve invented a new kind of Garfield. It happens.
two hours well spent if you ask me, Jack.
You drew the pic or just added the caption?
I generated it
So it would be a bit morally ambiguous to slap a hexbear logo on it?
