A shot in the dark

[Saruke]

Hey I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how this phonetically sounds in japanese: ブレードランナー.

I know it means blade runner but I was wondering what it sounds like if you were to write the sounds out in english what would is look like as in,

good evening= kombungwa

So if someone could tell me that'd be great.

It's called romaji.

Buredo Ranna.

The dashes (ー) mean extend the sound out longer.

Bu reー do ra n naー

I only see this: "ブレードランナー"

I'm assuming you posted boxes, because I can see the letters just fine. You need to have Eastern language support enabled, otherwise yeah, boxes.

 

[delusional]

coo I don't see boxes!

Only read hiragana mate (yeah its kinda useless to only know that dialect).

 

[Stigmata]

I knew there was a reason I let Windows throw 300MB of Eastern language support onto my C: drive.

 

[Krynn72]

Whoo hoo! No boxes!

 

[Seppo]

ok I suspected that

It sounds to me like he's wanting the japonese pronunciation, rather than engrish....

Is that why I can't see accented

?

(that was supposed to be a small e with an accent)

or is this because of forum software.

...that IS the Japanese pronounciation.

That's literally what he spelled with those letters. Katakana is used for foreign words, translating our words into syllables the Japanese can pronounce. That's what he spelled, that's what I translated.

Milk, I think the accents are a problem with the forum, not language support options.

Sorry I wasn't clear I don't want the japanese pronunciation of blade runner I want the romajii of blade and run or runner seperately.

 

[Darkside55]

I don't want the japanese pronunciation of blade runner I want the romajii of blade and run or runner seperately.

That is the romaji...just separate them.

I also recognize the japanese katakana (vaguely...) and I can tell you that it's just the words "Blade Runner" translated into katakana.

Bu - re - e - do - ra - n - na - a.

It's just phoenetical. It's not the Japanese words for "Blade" and "Runner" respectively, or anything like that.

I can break it down further if you want.

ブ = bu.

レ = re.

ー = extension of the last phonetic sound.

ド = do

ラ = ra

ン = n

ナ = na

ー = Extension of the last phonetic sound.

Simple.
