Japanese language
Greetings, any friendly companions here who understand Japanese? See, TOMORA keeps perpetuating this idea that their name translates to "friendly companion on earth", I want to fact-check that. At first I thought it was simply "friends".
I am not familiar with Japanese, just out of curiosity I tried to look at some basics, and this is the impression I managed to glean:
TOMO is the root word for "friend", and a common pluralisation is TOMODACHI, except that Japanese doesn't have plurals in the same way as in other languages. RA is allegedly also a common sort-of pluraliser, but it isn't used with TOMO, as the little I understand (or is it?). No idea how "earth" could come into this.
So it would be lovely to know if there is something to that claim, and if so, if there is a way to explain how it works to somebody who doesn't know Japanese.
