General Discussion

I have no clue what forum this fits in :/
So I’m trying to come up with a Japanese name for one of my dragons. Except I kinda want it to translate into English, kinda like Sakura translates to Cherry Blossoms? And online translation isn’t working for me. If possible, how would you say Wolf or Spirit in Japanese?

I'm only a Japanese I student, but I can tell you that "Wolf" translates into "?kami" (since FR doesn't allow special characters you could put "Ookami"). As for "spirit", I think there are lots of different ways to say it so you should probably find someone more advanced, but my best guess would be to say "Seishin".

@ObsidianMage I believe Wolf is Ookami (long o, not sure the sign would be accepted as a name since 'é' didn't work)
What do you mean by "Spirit" tho? The mind? A ghost? ()

@Arupocalypse That actually helps a lot! Thank you. :)

@SpectralKitten yeah, I’m realizing that there are probably a lot of translations for “spirit”. I’m thinking more along “ghost” lines, rather than referring to the mind.

@ObsidianMage I think the word I had in mind was yuurei (that Surei gave)

@Surei @SpectralKitten
Arigato gozaimasita!
