Talk:Tessaiga

"tetsu sai kiba"
Is it okay to leave this transliteration in? This transliteration uses the "standalone" readings for the three kanji rather than the readings that are meant to be used for this word. This is like reading 日本人 as "Nichi Hon Hito" instead of "Nihonjin", the term for "Japanese person".

Of course my opinion might not count as I am not a student of the language (rather, an english-speaking linguist who is still learning to understand the writing system alone), but I think 鉄砕牙 was meant to be read only as "Tessaiga" and never "Tetsu sai kiba". 68.1.172.2 01:30, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * "Tetsu sai kiba".....x_x Better named it as Tessaiga. I'm feeling curious that "Tessaiga" used most Chinese-like-pronoun way to describe Inuyasha's sword, but why "Sesshomaru" can't be read as "Sesshogan"? Since "Maru" and "Gan" are having same meaning. I really want to know more their laws of pronouncing kanji. Much tricky, thought... Sango 珊瑚 (The demon exterminator) 03:54, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
