Pekora Struggled To Talk With Gura & Ina In English ft. Botan & Towa - Minecraft 【ENG Sub Hololive】

Pekora finally understands that not everybody can read her mind like Moona.

[@grilledflatbread4692]

i suspect someone in moona's chat must be writing instant translations

[@ronaldbarrstow3539]

I think in Moona's case, not having English as your native language helps, because you can kinda reverse engineer someone's broken english to get to the root of what they mean, because you'd know exactly how a non-native speaker would try to get a point across.

[@AnotherFancyUser]

Not only that, I think Moona is really intelligent, she abstracts what the other person is saying by what it is trying to say.

[@harryhanddrawn]

@@AnotherFancyUser also it's so much easier to do so in games where context are very much obvious than irl !

[@kadsoukui13]

Pekora suddenly realized that Moona has a masters degree in Pekoenglish.

[@ranapriliaful]

Now this reminds me how happy she is when Moona understand what she meant. Then she bragging how good her english was after her experience with Moona... 3 years passed, now I think she realized that Moona might the only one who understand her pekonglish~

[@bidaum_4822]

Moona is just cheating. She has a direct link into Shachou's mind.

[@01100101011100100111]

The way Pekora said, "I finished work today thinking 'I gotta improve my English'" leads me to think she met and talked with Gura and everybody while at the office. I hope that's a sign that there will be more HoloGra and other 3D collab stuff on the main channel with Gura, Ina, Marine, Pekora, and others! We haven't gotten a new UmiSEA installation in a while!

[@jg2094]

I think we are getting a HoloGra for each Myth member soon. Moona and Risu got solo episodes recently. I think they will continue the trend of these HoloGra "debut" episodes until 4th fest.

For Peko English is pretty hard language But Towa pretty good in English (from her interaction with Ela i can say that) and i guess she and Gura can speak each other more or less But ofc EN girl always need someone like Kiara, Calli, IRyS, Bae or Ina nearby in Japan

What Towa struggles with in english is mostly grammar and her limited vocabulary. Her understanding and pronunciation are pretty good (also helps that in collabs she isn't afraid to use DeepL if necessary)

The translation is a little off, they're not talking curse words but insults, particularly gaming-related insults.

[@Whisom1018]

"Fuck" is the single most versatile word in the English language. It also has a hidden bonus when said by foreigners, it will help break the ice, adds color to the conversation, is very funny and serves as a conversation starter. There is truly no greater word than "fuck".

[@Okamikurainya]

It's actually super interesting to see the other perspective on this, being an English speaker. It's surprising how familiar the experience is as well. Confusion unites us all.

[@surr3al305]

what happened to Towa Maji Tenshi lol

[@TheRatedOniChannel]

Kenzokus gave her a curse word book once, that's why she has confidence in that.

She really took the "not devilish enough" thing as a challenge in the last 6 months or so. Watch any clips of her with Subaru. She's one of my fave Hololive bullies now. Really rivals the likes of members like Okayu.

[@Tiypo1337]

Back in her first year a fan sent Towa a book that detailed how to use English curses, so it's no wonder that she knows how to use them to good effect.

[@Raidanzoup]

As long as there's enough context you really can push through with singular words and even repeat them for emphasis. "Japanese food... good? What good, what good? Oh! Teriyaki very, very, good! Many eat, many eat." I'm sure if anyone approached it this way they'd make themselves understood even without any of the missing words to cushion the sentences lol

~ PAIN PEKOO ~

[@lowkey_gamer4298]

yeah Pekora was right about that sentence thing when translating EN to JP LMAO they really have different arrangements when translated XD

[@samsolitaryroll]

English basically have "subject - verb - object" structure in their sentences. For example "I am (subject) eating (verb) breakfast (object)". Another example is "I (subject) like (verb) sushi" Meanwhile Japanese have "subject - object - verb" structure which is completely flipped from English. For example for "I am eating breakfast" the Japanese is "Boku wa (subject) asa gohan (object) tabemasu (verb)". And "I like sushi" become "Boku wa (subject) sushi ga (object) suki (verb)" So if you translate Japanese to English word by word you'll be speaking like Yoda. Edit : not really like Yoda but close enough

[@Bobbias]

@@samsolitaryroll but Japanese also has fairly free clause order, meaning you don't even need to use SOV, you can say the same sentence as OSV if you want (although the emphasis changes, the meaning stays the same) thanks to using grammatical particles.

[@kiminmaster]

Towa is somewhat right. I know basic tagalog due to amount of cursing that I've received while playing dota. And also ragnarok the good old days when I'm playing private server "penge zeny" "sali po".

[@mashiroshiina1656]

[@zditto]

I never would have expected Towa and Botan being bad influences on Pekora, telling her to learn swear words. (I don't think swearing a bad thing, I just think its funny coming from those two)

[@genesisplays_]

Just a tip for those learning English, once you have decent enough vocabulary, it really helps to think in English instead of thinking in your mother tongue and translating the sentence like Pekora said. It makes you faster since you remove 1 step from the process; also each language has a lot of nuances that will be lost in translation so you'll sound more natural if you think in the language you're trying to speak

[@gilangsandi3894]

There is only one Pekolish translator in this world.

[@thegemguy1334]

English is hard. Even using the word shit is complicated.

[@Broomer52]

English is pretty easy to speak once you understand a few basics, it’s hard to write because it breaks its own rules. Some languages are harder to grasp because they’re very different from your own language rules. Japanese is an extremely complicated language, they have three different ways to say and write the same things. Unlike English where you can sound out the pieces of a word and figure out it’s meaning Japanese is very resistant to that method. Meanwhile one of the easiest languages for an English to learn is German because they use many of the same rules and many words sound almost exactly like English words with the same meaning.

[@Egg-san]

I can understand what people say in english, but when I tried to speak in english, it was really2 hard

[@Hitokiri_Ace]

Great. Somehow or another, they think curse words are a pivotal point in our conversations. This is where we are at comrades. We are wild, vulgar humans because that's what we portray ourselves as in media (streams, music/etc). Awesome.

[@bariumselenided5152]

Towa was kinda right about using curse words to make friends. Casual cursing puts me at ease around people, it makes me feel like they aren't hiding anything I guess. I could just be an odd duck, but I bet I'm not since most people curse around their friends but not their bosses.

[@juanmacaspac8113]

I can vouch for Towa!, Cuz as a Filipino we always use swear words to strengthen our friendship here.

[@seanlocke2228]

That's good and all, but did Ina get her hugs?

[@yezki8]

Holo ID is a perfect bridge for EN and JP Indonesian formula have the same format as Japanes, but more emphasis on it. So direct translate of word to word from Bahasa to Japanese can work. While English is the opposite format of Indonesia. For example, Red rice is nasi merah in indo. Red is merah, and nasi is rice. This is why it seems indonesian can learn japanese and english "easily"

[@twelve4682]

Yes english is hard Thats why we should make japanese a international language and all school should teach it 👍

[@blackscrow]

If you're at least a bilingual, you know that translating word by word is not the way to go to speak in another language. You should "think" in that language to speak naturally. Of course, this is not something that can be done immediately. The key to doing this is just to expose yourself to the language continuously.
