I figured a meme for folks learning Japanese could be fun :)

These fonts have always been an affront to god. Same as the ones that use cyrilic letters.

I don't know a lick of japanese. I assume you translated the symbols they abused for english letters?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

They're kana characters which represent syllables. So ら is "ra" when romanized, ロ is "ro" and so on.

Actually took me quite a while to figure out it's supposed to say "Soul of coffee", but it's probably easier to read the less you know about Japanese characters.

Yeah as someone who just started reading Japanese, reading "soul of coffee" was easy. But I don't even know all of these characters yet, I'm most of the way through hiragana, but haven't started any other character sets

I never would've figured it out if you didn't tell me

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Took me far too long to realize what it's supposed to say.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

You just fried my brain and I think now I need a hard reset.

asians 🤝 nordics
stop using our writing willy nilly because it looks cool, it's physically painful to read it

It's all Grssk to me.

Ok, but what is it actually? I'm assuming by the cup that it's some kind of coffee drink.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Seems like a safe bet

I don't know enough about coffee to know what espresso on top of cream would be. I just assume it's some kind of iced latte

Silly name but it looks really good

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

It absolutely does, it looks tasty as fuck 😅
