Nya!
Nya

(moon. ニャー / にゃあ, Kiriji:
nya:
, Romaji:
nyā
, Korean: 냐, Kannada: ಞ, Sanskrit: ञा, Tibetan: ཉ, Heb. ניה) - Japanese "meow", onomatopoeic to the meow of a cat. The interjection “nya” expresses a feeling of tenderness, joy, tenderness and, according to anime fans, makes them kawaii.

[edit] Description of nya on Lurkomorye

An article on Lurkomorye is devoted to the word “Nya”, which gives the following description:

The universal interjection "nya" can express a wide range of emotions - from sadness and bewilderment to the euphoria of extreme delight. It all depends on the intonation with which the word is pronounced. Very often, “nya” means agreement with the interlocutor. But in each case, “nya” gives the dialogue a naive and humorous tone and often thwarts the interlocutor’s attempt to return to a constructive conversation. If the intonation resembles a question, then the nyaka asks the question: “Do you agree with her?”

It is generally accepted that in Japanese each syllable is pronounced the same amount of time. Therefore, "nyā" (nyaa) should be pronounced so that "nya" takes the same amount of time as "a". Thus, the word turns out to be somewhat drawn out, which, however, perfectly corresponds to the exclamation “Nyayayayayaya!”

[edit] Examples

Jack the Ripper assures: NYE!

• - I'm annoyed by your pink blouse, your tits and your microphone! - Nya?
• -What are you wearing, Barrymore? - Sailor fuku, sir. - Are you an otaku, Barrymore?! - Nya, sir.

• — Did you bomb Pearl Harbor
  ? - nya!
• - I am a wave, a new wave © DJ Smash - fuck nYa! © Syava
• - You’re not kawaii, fuck off, fuck off!
• At the cosplay, during the seventh anime festival in Voronezh, which took place in the palace of children and pedophiles, at the end of one of the last cosplay scenes, the heroines shouted “nya” in unison to the beat of the music. Starting somewhere from the third “nyak”, the hall, already tired from the five-hour delirium, began to suffer. The audience continued to yak even after the end of the skit. Actually, the next skit of the presenters was practically disrupted by this “nya” periodically rushing from the hall.

[edit] Derived neologisms from nya

Derivative words-neologisms come from the word “nya”.

The verb “nyak” means to meow, to make the sound “nyak”.

The adjective “nyashny” is cute, kawaii.

The nouns “nyak”, “nyaka”, “nyasha”, “nyashka”, “nyashechka” are a creature that makes you want to say “nyak” when you see it.

“Tenderness” is a noun that characterizes the degree of tenderness. The Doge meme has established itself as a reflection of a certain level of cuteness. Natalya Poklonskaya, a Russian deputy, former prosecutor of Crimea, is recognized as a fairly generally accepted standard of cuteness and cuteness on the Runet.

What does “desu” mean among anime fans?

A close meaning of this word is: “Well, is everything clear?” Like any slang for a narrow circle, the “adverb of anime fans”, imbued with Japanese words, is little used in everyday life. It does not cause such obvious condemnation as the criminal jargon of the criminal environment, but you should not expect understanding in response to such expressions. This term is known to people who are connected to the Internet and various forums, even if they have nothing to do with the anime community. Thus, we can say that this is a small slang word that is placed at the end of a sentence and has become universal for many Internet users. It is used to give a sentence a very polite intonation. What does "kawai desu" mean? This word is used to describe something very touching and sweet.

[edit] Quotes

“Nyashny” is an interesting word from the slang of fans of anime and Japanese cartoons. "Nya" in Japanese means the sound a cat makes, like our "meow". The Russian language added a suffix to it, and it turned out to be a whole “suffix word”, meaning a pretty big-eyed creature - an anime heroine. The appearance of the acting prosecutor of Crimea Natalia Poklonskaya fits very well into this image. One Odessa musician discovered that “Natasha” rhymes with “nyasha” - and so this phrase found life in the language. Poklonskaya herself said in an interview: “I am a prosecutor and I won’t allow any nyash-myash,” giving rise to another “nyash-myash” meme.

Cosplay m., school (Japanese コスプレ kosupure, abbreviated from angel. costume play - costume game) - a form of embodiment of an action performed on the screen. Modern cosplay arose in Japan among Japanese fans of anime and manga, so usually the main prototype of the action is manga, anime or a historical film about samurai.

Cosplay participants identify themselves with a certain character, are called by his name, wear similar clothes, and use similar speech patterns. Often during cosplay, role-playing occurs. Costumes are usually sewn independently, but can also be ordered from a studio or purchased ready-made (in Japan, for example, the business of producing costumes and accessories for cosplay is quite widespread).

It is also worth noting here that the widespread practice in Russia of “acting out” characters is practically absent in the homeland of cosplay in Japan. Japanese cosplayers tend to focus all their efforts on the quality of the costume itself, without trying to disguise its shortcomings or the inadequacy of the cosplayer himself through dramatic skill.

The explanation for this should be sought in the fact that in Russia, from the very beginning, cosplay developed in close contact with the role-playing community and the community of historical reenactors, where “acting out” a character is the main requirement. In Japan, such interpenetration did not exist, so cosplay there remained mainly an occasion to show off one’s sartorial skills.

Cosplays are usually held at festivals, parties and events related to anime and manga culture.

Elements of cosplay are often found in the practice of Tolkienists and role-players, flash mobbers, fetishists and military history clubs.

Neko (Japanese: 猫) means “cat” in Japanese. In Russia, this word is common among fans of anime and manga, which refers to both anime and manga characters who look like cat girls, and people who dress up in this way, for example in cosplay. In Japanese folklore, a neko is often a werewolf, a cat girl, an upright anthropomorphic creature with cat ears and a tail. Knacks are usually portrayed as being friendly to humans, but with their cat-like agility and speed they can be dangerous.

It is also used to emphasize the kawaii nature of a character, most often of female or child roles (the character says “nya” in a certain situation or in an arbitrary phrase, indicating his resemblance to a cat or a gentle, sweet, playful behavior). It's worth noting that the use of the word "nya" has become quite popular in anime communities recently. Many otaku and simply fans of anime or manga add “nya” on Internet forums and online chats to almost every phrase in their messages, with or without any reason. We can consider that the word “nya” is an attribute of the generalized kawaiiness of the person using it or the situation in which it is used. The widespread use of the word “nya” is called “nyakat”, that is, adding “nya” to all statements. As typical examples of the use of the word “nya” in the speech of anime characters, one can consider the anime series “Magical Cat Girl Taruto” and “Di-Gi Karat”. It is also generally accepted that “nya” is a symbol of peace, culture and the universe.

Anime influence

Now it's clear what "desu" means in Japanese. The earliest commercial Japanese animation dates back to 1917, and Japanese anime production has continued to grow steadily since then. The distinctive style of anime art emerged in the 1960s with the work of Osamu Tezuka and spread internationally in the late twentieth century. This genre is shown in theaters, on television, advertised in the media, and also via the Internet. It is divided into numerous sub-genres aimed at different broad and targeted audiences.
