Why is it that apart from Chiyo, Tomo is the only character who tends to get the 'chan' suffix attached to her name fairly often? Is it because she's the second smallest or something?Image unrelated

>>122950I believe "suke" is attached to Chiyo's name because it forms Chiyosuke, which is apparently a boy's name. I just remember reading that somewhere, and I might have misread it because I was just skimming over it, so I may or may not be correct. Also, I can see Tomo doing it, but I have no idea why Yomi or Yukari would refer to Chiyo by a boy's name. So I'm probably wrong.
>>122991I just assumed it was a diminutive postfix, like English's "-let", and German's "-chen".(vc) inode - see left. (They don't make an NTFS Chiyo, and besides, NTFS calls them 'files')

>>122994Ubuntu chiyo-chan, ha ha ha ha ha

Ubuntu chiyo-chan, ha ha ha ha ha
Tomo also refers to pretty much all of the other characters as *-chan (Yukari-chan, Nyamo-chan, Sakaki-chan, etc.) so they probably refer to her as Tomo-chan just because of the casual air that she exudes.
>>122950Text like the following suggests that the author is closer to the weeaboo end of the spectrum than the Japanese student end. Facts are facts, but I'd take his interpretation with a pinch of salt.>Sakaki (surname unknown)>Kagura (surname unknown)>Kaorin (surname unknown)Consensus is that the first two are surnames, only the last is a (mangled) given name.>(On a side note, Kaorin's mother calls her Kaori, which is what Kaorin wanted Sakaki to call her in her dream. I believe this is her real name, and Kaorin is actually a nickname.) Thanks, Captain Obvious. Was the 'Kimurin' sketch a big enough clue?

>>122997 Oh man, I almost got on your case for quoting that, until I realized you were quoting for the purpose of ridicule.
>>122997 Sakaki is generally assumed to be her family name.Kagura is generally assumed to be her family name.Kaorin is diminutive, ie nickname, of her first name; her family name is Inoue. In her dream, when she wanted Sakaki to call her Kaori, her real first name, this is apparently the custom for asking someone to treat them as an intimate friend or family member. As Kaorin has the hots for Sakaki the reason is fairly obvious, and comes out in her dream. Usually only close family members would call her Kaori. Her parents might well call her Kaori-chan.

>>122999So what's your take on the 'Chiyosuke' issue?
So what is the source of the OP pic with the muscle man azu stuff? I keep seeing it around but only bits and pieces.
>>123065A quick googling reveals it to be "Azumanga Kennoh", a crossover doujin between Azumanga Daioh and Fist of the North Star.http://www.adtrw.org/projects/azumanga-kennoh/YOU WA SHOCK!
Azumanga Ken'Oh was fairly entertaining. Kenshiro dressed as Tadakichi is rather....striking, but I'd kind of have liked to have seen Azumanga characters acting out Fist of the North Star scenes, or just behaving in an FotNS-ish way.I also would've liked to have seen what made the author think that a FotNS/Azumanga crossover was a good idea.Azumanga Ken-Oh was actually my introduction to Azumanga Daioh. I downloaded the comic, then headed over to wiki to learn a bitty more about the Azumanga characters so that I'd enjoy it more. As it turned out, the Azu girls weren't in it that much, but what wiki said about them intrigued me, so I picked up one of the manga volumes shortly afterwards.

>>123064 >So what's your take on the 'Chiyosuke' issue?Just a joke name, initiated by Tomo (of course.) Yukari adopted it, but I don't recall anyone else using it. These two were also the only ones to really bully Chiyo.

>>123064 I think it's like >>122991 said, where "suke" is a masculine suffix (kind of like "ko" is a feminine suffix).I would imagine a close English equivalent would be if you knew a guy named Chris, and called him Christoff for the hell of it. Or if you knew a girl named Anna and called ner Anastasia or something. I'm just speculating though. I do know that '-suke' isn't a proper honorific like "chan," "kun," "san," "sama," etc.
Osaka called a "chan" once. Then she claimed to know the internets. Good tiems.Google said the cat was VC: deat;_;
