Hello everyone, does somebody know how to call these fish in Esperanto? I'm translating Charlie the Unicorn 2 to Esperanto, which is why I need this (they say fugu). okulumo.gif

You are... WHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaT!? lol

I LOVE You so much I want to kiss you. Will you upload it on YouTube please~?

I can assure you I find no article about that on Vikipedia or ReVo. How is the luck with PIV?

"Fugu" is the Japanese word for the fish. I've heard many names for them, but in the states we usually call them "blowfish". I can't find an entry for the animal in Wells. How about "pufigfisxo"?

BTW, I refuse to eat this fish. In Japan, you have to have a license to prepare them. They are very toxic. If made incorrectly, you could go to the hospital. They even put warnings on the menus. Many Japanese people love to eat this fish, but I don't have the courage. lango.gif

I thought it might help to look up the Chinese characters the Japanese use to write "fugu". It seems they are 河豚 and they mean "river" and "pig" respectively. Probably not much help... demando.gif

I've also heard them called "balloon fish" in English. Maybe "balonfisxo" would be a good translation. In Spanish, they call them "el pez globo" which could mean "globe fish" or also "balloon fish", so this might work better.

They're also called pufferfish. I typed it into Traduku.net and it came up with balonfiŝo, so your initial suggestion seems best, Andogigi. It comes up with the alternatives fuguo and fuguaĵo, but they appear to be neologisms.

The biggest problem will be to find voice actors. okulumo.gif I could voice Charlie, but once I've finished the text of all three parts, I'm going to need some female voices (for the two other unicorns and - in part 2 - the bananas).

Anyway, I'll go with balonfiŝo, thanks for your suggestions.

Fuguo seems to refer only to the dish so it depends - are you talking about the Japanese dish or about the fish? ridulo.gif

BTW, anyone else find the kanji for fugu similar to the kanji for dolphin? River pig vs. Sea pig - did the ancient Chinese who gave half these compound kanji to Japanese not like sea animals very much? lango.gif

About the fish.
