Talk:Taimugakure

"Taimu" is not Japanese for "time". "Taimu" is the Japanese attempt at saying the English word "time". By using "Taimu" as if it were the Japanese word for "time", you have made yourself sound like you have no clue what you're doing. You probably used a translator that, due to a lack of quality, includes the Japanese attempts at English words in its translation results.

I shall look up the true Japanese word for "time", but it will take some searching.....

The Japanese word for "time" is "Jikoku", as seen in the canon Jutsu Time Reversal Technique. In the name of the Jutsu, "Jigyaku no Jutsu", the Japanese word "Jikoku", meaning "time", is combined with "Gyaku", meaning "reverse". The "k" sound in Japanese is usually changed to a "g" sound when it begins a word combined with another word, allowing for easy combining of "Jikoku" and "Gyaku". This is evident in that a "Kami" is a god, but a "Shinigami" is a death god.

So therefore the village should be called "Jikokugakure". Besides, "Taimugakure" just sounds lame...

Note that I am not flaming you. I am correcting you and pointing out the truth in a very blunt way. I may sound condescending, but I am just being formal. And I have a huge anal thing with people misunderstanding the Japanese language due to lack of knowledge and lack of research. Just because a Japanese Translator website said it meant "time" does not mean it means "time" in the correct way.
