| dc | 日本語では、Abbreviationはあんまり使われてないね？ | |
| Miki | hmm 郵貯＝郵便貯金postal savings、地裁＝地方裁判所district court 、外為＝外国為替ForExとかは、dcの言うabbreviation省略形とは、違う？If you think from English, not many abbreviation are used. | |
| Miki | How do you pronounce ASAP? sorry for my katakana pronounciation. :P Do you say アサップ, too? | |
| Miki | ex#2836 Abbr. for Long Distance is only "L"? LD? | |
| Nick | how about PMSL - pissing myself laughing. seems to only appear on aussie forums though... | |
| Ayumi | Wouldn't ASAP be pronounced as eisappu?
Or ei-esu-ei-pii?
I don't think people say it like アサップ
(I apologize, I don't know how to use the Katakana/Hiragana) | |
| Miki | Japanese people around me pronounced ASAP as asappu and I was confused. According to Cambridge Dictionary, it pronounced as ei-es-ei-pi. | |
| Deku | Yeah, but atleast I pronounce it 'asap' not as 'a-s-a-p.' But thats just me XD | |
| Milton | Wasn't the pronunciation "ay-sap/エイサップ" used in Office Space? | |
| mayonakanotaiyou | The pronunciation of ASAP depends on the person. Some people pronounce the individual letters A-S-A-P and others say ay-sap. Whichever you use, you'll generally be understood by a native speaker. Persoanlly, I use the former, so I would say, "Can I get this A-S-A-P?" (rather than ay-sap) mainly because I say "F-Y-I" and "M-Y-O-B" (Mind Your Own Business), but NASA is nah-sah. English is weird like that. | |
| winterkoninkje | In the States we pronounce it エイサップ like "a" (the letter) + "sap". You sometimes hear people spell it out (エイエスエイピ) but that's less common and tends to add more emphasis making it more of a command than a request. | |
| juern | Wouldnt this be a place for itr=いてらしゃい, kwsk=詳しく, 乙/おつ＝お疲れ様, mjk=マジか and so on? | |
| Volcanon | LOL in Japanese webspeak is （笑） | |
| petra | エイエスエイピ or エイサップ, never アサップ. | |
