Next time I notice you disappeared from my watchers I'll let you know instead of being polite and not bringing it up.

RanSerenader In reply to SasuScarlet [2011-09-24 10:33:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but it's not from the Ran from Touhou, whose name is spelled 濫. It's from the kanji 蘭 (ran), which is the abreviation for the old kanji spelling 阿蘭陀 (oranda), which is a word the Japanese took from the Portuguese word Hollanda.

So you could translate my username as Dutch Serenader. Or as Orchid Serenader, orchid being the literal meaning of 蘭. It's a bit complicated, but I like that.

RanSerenader In reply to rufious [2011-03-27 22:47:36 +0000 UTC]

Dat klopt wel ja.

De lange uitleg: het is een afkorting voor 阿蘭陀 of 和蘭, welke oude kanji spellingen zijn voor "Holland". Het karakter wordt nog steeds regelmatig gebruikt als een afkorting voor Nederlands, een beetje zoals wij nl, en, fr, enzo gebruiken.
蘭 (ran) opzich betekent ook orchidee. Maar dat heeft net zomin met Nederland te maken als de afkorting 米 (rijst) met de VS en 独 (alleen) met Duitsland. De kanji waren origineel puur voor de klank uitgekozen.

Ik ben bekend met het proces
De twee kanji die ze in het Chinees gebruiken voor Holland zijn geloof ik ook twee bloemen maar die zou ik echt niet herkennen. De japanse Kanji voor Nederland zie ik daartegen best vaak want is in vol ornaad geborduurd op onze taido-gi's

Hahah, dat is vet. Dat had ik ook wel op mijn karate pak willen hebben een paar jaar terug.

In het Chinees ook twee bloemen? Interessant. Even opzoeken... In het versimpeld Chinees is Nederland 荷兰 (hélán). Blijkbaar betekent 荷 lotus, en is 兰 de afkorting van 蘭 (orchidee weer) in traditioneel chinees. Toevallig(?) is de Manderijn uitspraak van de oude Japanse spelling 和蘭 ook hélán.
