Tetris Jargon Translation

Digital · July 29, 2009, 05:39:41 PM

I was browsing one of our old wiki pages today that translated a few English tetris terms into their Japanese counterparts. I thought it would be cool to add more common terms onto the list. Then I remembered Blink mentioning how he had seen 1500 players online at Hangame his first time there. That led me to thinking that with a population that large, they must have at least established their own jargon on some level. Our plan is to find out what they are if there's any. Getting back to the big picture though, we're looking for jargon in any language as long as they are established. Here's the work in progress.

[wiki]Term Correspondence Chart[/wiki]

Would really appreciate it if anyone familiar with the Japanese or Korean jargon could help us fill in the blanks or correct any errors. And of course, if there are any suggestions for new terms, languages, or things we could do differently, feel free to post them in the thread.

QuoteDefensive When nearing a top out, counter the garbage as best as you can. Your opponent will not recieve extra ammunition and will have to build his own tetrises. Do not waste time making many singles. Most of all, remember not to overstack.

counter the garbage - 相殺

You're the best maske! Thank you so much for helping out with the translation. You're always giving us a hand. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to tell us.

Digital · July 30, 2009, 03:28:56 PM

Alright, the tables have been updated. I added the terms you suggested maske. I also followed the reference links you gave and added several more terms. I'll try to see what else I can find on those pages and add them on later. Suggestions from everyone are welcome as always.

clincher · July 30, 2009, 03:43:22 PM

Whoa... tables are full now at least on the Japanese side , looks pretty good.
Hopefully someone will provide Korean terms

Digital · July 30, 2009, 06:26:54 PM

Does anyone play Hangame?

QuoteThank you so much for helping out with the translation. You're always giving us a hand.

the gratitude is all mine.　it's an easy task
without digital's and jujube's help, i wouldn't lhave ived in tc. indeed, i'm still counting on you, and i would like to express my thanks to you afresh.

now, correction is here.

*Correction
before
Combo コンボ (REN)

after
Combo / REN - コンボ / レン

before
Monosquare　ピュアスクウェア (Pure SQUARE)
Multisquare　コンボスクウェア (Combo SQUARE)

after
Monosquare / Pure SQUARE - モノスクウェア / ピュアスクウェア
Multisquare / Combo SQUARE - マルチスクウェア / コンボスクウェア

although i quoted "Pure SQUARE/ComboSQUARE" from the terms on TETRiS GREEN, are "Monosquare/Multisquare adopted on other games ?

*Additional Terms
Hotline - ホットライン
Inititial Rotation System - - イニシャルローテーションシステム
Arika Rotation System -- - アリカローテーションシステム
Super Rotation System - スーパーローテーションシステム
Grade Recognition System　- 段位認定システム
Temporary Landing System　- ブロック仮想落下システム
The Tetris Company / Tetris Holding　- テトリスカンパニー / テトリスホールディング
Tetris Guideline　- テトリスガイドライン
Alexey Pajitnov - アレクセイ・パジトノフ
Henk .Rogers - ヘンク・ロジャース
Edward .Rogers - エドワード・ロジャース

*Suggestion
i always feel hd's wiki seemes to lack the terms about Multiplayer Games.
because i don't know how to express them shortly, i have sometimes encountered difficulties. Hopefully, their terms will be added.

ex)

timming your placement rhythm so that the garbage cannot be countered - 相殺外し
instant "Top out" ??? - 即死
dealing well with sulky garbage and escaping from a crisis ??? - リカバリー
occurring a long direct hole like the following situation ??? - 貫通
e.g.

if i'm lost, you can look and you will find me on resort...
time after time... time after time... time after time...
although i'm still in my twenties, i'm sorry for quoting a old source like cyndi .

e.g.

Google literally translated those kanji as "Penetration". It sort of reminds me of "rectum" from Arkmay's glossary (not especially SFW).

Ah, thank you for the corrections. Making edits in Japanese, I have no idea if I'm copying and pasting correctly.

I'm not sure if the terms are official. One of our members used them for the [wiki]Square Platforming[/wiki] wiki page. I think I've seen "monosquare" used a few times outside of the wiki.

Yay, more terms! We're going to need to do more organizing as the tables get larger. Do you have any suggestions on how to divide the terms into more groups?

Yeah, I've realized this too. At the moment, we don't have enough multiplayer articles on the wiki. Thus, the common multiplayer terms used by the community are not really clear. I was actually planning to add a "Multiplayer" category right under "Methods of Play" once we have a few more dedicated pages. That might just happen very soon since you've reminded me.

[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]hmmm, there's still this much. our work seem to be no end. i might run away

Yeah, there's definitely a lot of work ahead. I'm more excited than frustrated though.

Maske, you should sign up on the wiki and make the edits yourself, contributing to where you see fit. I don't want to take all your credit.

well, if "rectum" is twisted, does the situation become the following illustration?

hm..., though i have created my accout, there seems to be a lot of differences between mediawiki and mine. i must learn the notation about mediawiki considerably. so i hope you prepare to wait for 100 years. i will get down to my work around the turn of the 21 centuries

ok now, i'll support you sooner or later.
then, since i don't need my credit, please feel free to write articles.

btw, though hd's wiki don't have the page about Edward.Rogers, isn't his name well-known in western ?
in spite of the CEO of Tetrisonline Japan Inc, i've heard that he kept average 7950 at the twilight of tds scene (however, seeing his toj's grade, he seems to be become weak very decently.)

that name doesn't sound familiar to me. what name does he use on TOJ and TDS? that might be easier for some people to recognize

Digital · July 31, 2009, 06:12:38 PM

Edward Rogers, as in the Eddie Rogers that I've heard posts on 2ch?

"Monosquare" and "multisquare" come from the manual of the North American version of The New Tetris. And I seem to remember Tetris Worlds mentioning "pure square" and "combo square".

That one looks more like "garbage" to me.

Then I take you've never edited Wikipedia either.

Maske · July 31, 2009, 10:02:43 PM

i hate to bother you, but can i ask you a quesiton ?
why do you need Japanese and Korean Jargon Translations ?
if you are gathering their jargon, i think you shoud gaher other languages too, such as French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese. and so on

Quote from: jujube

eddie is well-known not only as　the celebrity but also good japanese speaker , and he cherishes the substitute character's name written by "kanji" on japanese site. now, i have often saw him posts a comment on mihara's blog.
then. although i found him own made mention of his tds carrear on the boad of japanese sns, i don't know his wifi-name

for all some of heartless japanese are badly complaining about him, i really think he has a friendly appearance and he is a fine type of gentleman. perhaps he might answer your inquiry kindly when spoken to. when i once asked directly for him to exchange my tds code, he had left a polite comment to me "kindly" and turned down my proposal.
haha, there is by no means an element of sarcasm in "kindly"
