Duolingo Repeatedly Insults Matsuri (Hololive) [English Subbed]

Natsuiro Matsuri tries learning English on Duolingo, and makes some pretty halarious mistakes. Also Google Translate makes a great comeback with the kuso translations.

Who? Hi, I am a Japanese to English translator who does clips of Vtubers, mostly from Hololive, but I'll also do VOMS from time to time. The people in these Vtuber clips do have their own channels where they do live streaming, usually games. My favorite Vtubers are Korone, Rushia & Coco, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the rest.
Why? The Vtuber idea started a few years ago in Japan with Kizuna AI. Now people from all over the world including both Japan and English speaking countries have Vtubers. I was learning Japanese since before this happened, and now I translate.
How? Learn Japanese, Learn a small amount of video editing, learn subtitling, and most of all, learn to code. (Actually most of my video editing is done automatically by code)
What? I translate interesting or funny clips I find while watching Vtubers live. I'm always open to requests and I read most of your comments, so fire away with your suggestions!
Where? The comments are good. You can also go to my community tab to post suggestions and vote in the polls. Just know links are blocked due to spam, so posting a video ID is the best way to make a suggestion.
When? Anytime.
Just remember:

If you put このへんで終わります into google translate, it really says it ends in this hell.

[@Double-Negative]

If you use the kanji for へん it translates (mostly) correctly. weird

[@hardave]

and thats why you use deepL instead

[@ollievirus6695]

@@hardave So it translate it to "I'm done here" DeepL and Google Translate are both bad, lol

[@hardave]

@@ollievirus6695 deepL gives a few alternatives including "I'll end it here" and the 4 options it gives me all have the same basic meaning where google throws a random word in there that makes a very different sentence

[@Kougeru]

Well English can have 4 or even 5 characters create a single syllable. On average, English is “longer”

[@PhoenixClank]

@@JasperTV I think comparing just syllables isn't quite fair here. Consider "strengths": it's a pretty long word, but only one syllable. But I think it's justified being that long, because it contains a lot more phonemes than Japanese syllables allow. Transcribed into Katakana it would be something like ストレングズス.

Did you mean "Covfefe"?

[@elitefdc2171]

Duolingo have pretty lax typo.

[@blazingkite8983]

I think "Cofee" gets a pass because reading that verbally, has no difference from the correct version, it's only failing grammatically but not verbally whereas "Coffe" would be pronounced "Co - fe" instead of "Co - fii"

[@PhoenixClank]

@@blazingkite8983 In my intuition the 'e' at the end of "Coffe" is silent, so it would be pronounced "Coff".

​@@danielantony1882 It's 志, meaning 'ambition' or 'aspiration' etc. It's actually really common. You see it everywhere in novels and manga. Another similarly compact word (using a common kanji) is 承る, read as 'uketamawaru', which is keigo for 'to listen' / 'to understand'.

I like how a Japanese person can hear the word and then still immediately go "Yeah I'm just gonna put an o at the end of that".

[@E4439Qv5]

It's a product of their "alphabet" being syllabary. There aren't very many consonant sounds ending Japanese words, especially compared to _Ingurishu._

[@bhull242]

For the record, “o” is only used if the word ends in T or D. Usually, they’d put “u” at the end, like “stoppu”, but the kana corresponding to “tu” and “du” are pronounced “tsu” and “zu”, respectively, so they go with “to” or “do” instead. But yeah, except N, the Japanese language doesn’t have any solo consonants, so they aren’t used to ending a word in a consonant. For English, it’d be like trying to pronounce a word that starts with “ng”.

6:06 For English speakers, it may seem like she’s exaggerating, but if you were to use katakana to write “excuse”, it’d be like “エクスキュヅ”, which, when transliterated into the Roman alphabet, would be “ekusukyuzu”.
