Title: 200 nations
Post by: Flemingovia on January 11, 2007, 01:23:36 PM
Another "w00t" thread as Taijitu gains its 200th nation.

Congratulations to those who have been actively recruiting, and to those who have been generally spreading the word.

YaY!  I noticed just before I left for work that we were at 199, so we probably hit the big 2-0-0 when I was in my car.  :)

just because weve done this doesnt mean we can stop recruiting, we want to live up to the past week dont we? should we make NS history with reaching 1000 in less than 2 months?

OT - Not only do I think that's possible but with this group - I suspect it's very very likely! The most talented recruiters in Nationstates congregate here and with them, we'll get there!

I'm not really good at recruiting and would like to know what everyone else says when they're recruiting. The only time I have was when I was in a tiny region called Colonial States, being at a resounding 16 in it's glory days.

pinyin: Taìjí tú; Wade-Giles: T'ai4 chi2 t'u2

Latin: Tae-ghi,tu

Stupid English way: tahy-jee-too

As represented by words: Tie (like to tie things) G (like saying the letter G) two (the number two
Tie-G-two

Well there's a way that I think it's supposed to be said... Since I've hung around so many Asians... but I showed how to say it like an American.

Title: Re: 200 nations
Post by: Morthia on January 14, 2007, 09:42:19 PM
I thought that Taijitu, being a Japanese/Chinese thing would be pronouced 'Tie - chi -too'.
Title: Re: 200 nations
Post by: Hervonium on January 14, 2007, 10:44:21 PM
So did I...only I thought there would be more stress on the second syllable...'Tie-GEE-too'.

maybe it's a regional thing; to put so much stress on the second syllable... -shrug-
Title: Re: 200 nations
Post by: Gulliver on January 14, 2007, 10:50:12 PM
Well, if you really want to pronounce it correctly, listen up...

The vowels are indeed more or less "ie" "ee" "oo". But the consonants?

T: Aspirated Alveolar Plosive; that's just plain old T

J: Alveo-palatal affricate. No true English equivalent, but we can approximate best as English's J

And the second T, same as the first...

And the tonals... those burn my brain too  :P
