Greetings! I am Burning Silver, call me Silver if you like, and this is my primary page; open to all. (Obviosly) I welcome anyone and everyone to trounce upon my things, all I ask is that you don't wear cleats when you do so-they tend to hurt. I hope you don't mind my insane instability and impulsive randomness; if you do, I'd advise you find somewhere else to spend your time. On the other hand, if you find that you are some-what entertained by my peculiar jesting then I hope you enjoy your stay.

Than-x for stopping by:
~Silver

Family :3

Here's a small lesson on the family and immediate members. (I will elaborate on this at another time :3)

  • father: otoosan (oh-toh*long o*-sah-n) = someone else’s father
    chichi (chee-chee) = 'my' father (only used when speaking of your own)

  • mother: okaasan (oh-kah*long a*-sah-n) = someone else’s mother
    haha (hah-hah) = 'my' mother (once again-only used for one's own parent

  • grandfather: ojiisan (oh-jee*long e*-sah-n) ; also a term for elderly men-not necessarily an 'actual grandpa' (sort of like the English term 'gramps', just not considered rude)
  • grandmother: obaasan (oh-bah*long a*-sah-n) ; also can be term for elderly women- just like ojiisan
  • older brother: oniisan (oh-nee*long e*-sah-n) = someone else’s big brother
    ani (ah-nee) = ‘my’ older brother

  • older sister: oneesan (oh-neh*long eh*-sah-n) = someone else’s older sister
    ane (ah-neh) = ‘my’ older sister

  • younger brother: otootosan (oh-toh*long o*-toh-sah-n) = someone else’s younger brother*
  • younger sister: imootosan (ee-moh*long o*-toh-sah-n) = someone else’s younger sister*

*When speaking of your own younger siblings, remove the ‘san’ on the end. This is a title of respect and it is considered wrong, rude, and conceited to place honor on your own family.

This was a brief lesson on family titles. Thanks for joing me today, I hope you find this helpful. As always, if you have any questions, just pm me or comment them in!! :3
