by the way..what is "hanus ko nai"? hehehe, is this japanese or alien words?
Wala ko'y na-encounter nga "hanus" nga word even looking closely sa akong japanese - english dictionary including sa comprehensive na book ni Naganuma. Basin sa na-mention ni Andrew, either ga-end ug 'shi', 'se', 'sa', 'su', 'so' which will give out 'hanushi', 'hanuse', 'hanusa', 'hanusu', 'hanuso'. searching for all these words did not arrive at any valid word (of course I may be wrong with the possibility that any of these possible words were not in the formal word list and may be colloquial or outright slang. distorting the word 'hanus' and trying to combine it with 'shi' arrives at a closer word 'hanashi' which means 'talk, speech, chat, or conversation'. 'ko' has the following meanings: - a child - the late (deceased) - animal young - counter for millimeter units (suf), individual - big, large, great - old - price, business, selling - sin, fault 'nai' means - dead - there isn't, doesn't have In the Japanese language, foreign names may also be written adopting the foreign pronunciation into japanese written syllabary. The name Hans may be written as "Hansu" or "Hanusu". Combining the previous meanings, "hanus (or hanusu) ko nai" may possibly mean "the late Hans" (deceased). Or if we take the "hanashi" possibility, it may mean "the late conversation", "conversation that never happened", "previous conversation", or "price negotiation (discussion)" or "did not have discussion about the price". Of course there are other possibilities. :) It's just fun playing around with the language :). -- "A dog that has no bite, barks loudest."
