[Kokuma]

This doesn't quite belong to this sections, but;

When you enter Tamagotchi Planet, the name-input feature shows "Nada" as name example.

Who's this mysterious Nada?

[CL]

Nada means nothing.  So, if you don't input anything else, the website is saying we're nothing  HELLO NOTHING! 

[Jiro]

lol, I was wondering about "Nada" too, lol
I thought it was a visitor of Mimitchi.com who came every single minute, ahahaha

[Mimitchi]

hehehe i'm not saying your nothing, the script just required something to be written, it's an old script. I've thought of getting rid of it really.

but yeah, nada is slang for nothing

Maybe I should change it to read Kokuma.

[crystyl]

Where I grew up Kokum (also spelled Kookum) meant grandma (cree).   I am sure pronounciation for the two are quite different but I can already hear myself mumbling back at the monitor I am not a grandma yet! 

[Mimitchi]

I was just teasin' Kokuma, I wasn't really gonna change it

[crystyl]

I tell ya it's been at least ten minutes of sitting here and wondering if your poking fun at me or just bugging the original author of this post.   

[Mimitchi]

I was poking fun at Kokuma.. the auther of this thread.

[Kokuma]

Heh :>

What language this "kookum" is? Some north america native folk language?

Kokuma [kuh-koo-mah] is (bit mis-typed) japanese, meaning "bear cub"

[crystyl]

Kokum is Native American Swampy Cree.  My father was an elctrician for the hospital just of a reserve up north (Canada)  It offered me a wide variety of cultures to observe, as alot of interns would also come to practice and complete theire internship there.  We had a single mother from Ethiopia and her son Jhamal (sp?), one of the more memmorable few.  We may not have been able to communicate very well, but as kids we were fairly good friends.  That was one language I could not pick a lick up off of.  Chinese and Japanese would likely be another language I would be hard pressed to learn, as I didn't do very well picking up the cree and that was the main language there.  I always misprounce most things as I been told I have a french slur (oddly enough my own language that I cannot speak at all) which interferes.  (In cree if you say May one together as if it were one word that means poo  and yeah I did learn that in Nursery,  it was funny then and still somehow funny to me now)

  My oh my sorry for the ramble.
