suuwanroupinUwah! How irresponsible!Anyway, the tsuupai go something like this:It would be nice if they continued explaining in the next episode.There are also people who read the 9 tiles as kyuu, right? Also, I've heard some refer to the manzu as "__man" as well.ryanwanchuusouWell anyway, to get back on track, the 1's through 9's for the manzu, souzu, and pinzu are read like this:chuuwanuuwanrouwanchiiwanThe ones with the 〇 are called pinzu.Finally come the 4 types of honor tiles called tsuupai.
It's 4 types because 東南西北 are all classified under 1 type (the winds).WHOA! You got it all right!You... really do think of me as an idiot, don't you?iiwansanwaniipinuupinpaapinchuupiniisourousouIf you want to know about that, why don't you just go look it up yourself on the internet.tonHey, hey, isn't there supposed to be more commentary?You're not even close to being done!First, the numbered tiles with「萬」written on them are called manzu.The ones with the bamboo rods on them are called souzu.paawanchiipinsuusoushaachunnanchiisouI've run out of taco energy so it can't be helped.Bye bye~ryanpinsanpinsuupinryansousansouuusoupaasouhakuHu~uuh? Oh, right~... The 1 and 9 tiles and the tsuupai form a group of 9 and are collectively called yaochuupai. It's kinda special so if you remember that it might just benefit you later on. OK, I'm done~That has nothing to do with this!peiRomanized like that because, well, the alternative would be "pee", so...hatsuSo troublesome.Is this some sort of omen for a catastrophic disaster?Of course I'd know about something like this!Besides, since they're called manzu in the first place, why are they read as -wan?The tsuupai can also be called jihai.One of the explanations is that, in the past, parts of the Japanese language originated from being mixed up with other languages.The one with the bird picture on it is the 1 of souzu.There's still a lot more information we didn't cover!By the way, the ▯ tile is also called toufu sometimes, so remember that.
A block of tofu.
