Learn how to speak latin. Your answer lies there.

I'm going to assume its Plan-ets.

{plan`etes}

MAH-NAH-TEE

ΠΛΑΝΗΤΕΣ

Plan-eh-tez

or

プラネテス

Puranetesu

>>40215163
Germanic or italian?

Pla (as in planetary)
NEET
S (the letter).

I always read it as Puranetesu due to kana in opening

>>40215163
Its greek fucktard

>>40215186
>Plan-eh-tez
uh, no. see >>40215191

"ΠΛΑΝΗΤΕΣ"

I'm not an expert but that's supposed to be read as Planeetes (Planites, PlaNEETes etc.)

Planet-eez

It's プラネテス (Puranetesu)

So... Plan eh tess?

It's the word planete in french, right?

The second 'e' and the 's' are silent.
So it sounds just like "planet" in english with the 'a' pronounced as in "what?"

Op here. I'm gonna go with these. Thanks.

>>40215220
Is it really? I always thought it was Cyrillic

>>40215300
Looks similar, but it's definitely greek. I only know this cause I can read cyrillic and not greek.

>>40215191
>>40215224
Both wrong.

It's Plan-AI-tez

I used to say it like the word "planets", but my friend tells me it's pronounced plan-eh-tez.

>>40215345
AI as in wait, by the way.

H h


(eta)


• like ai in wait

Plah-Nèh-Tes

pla-ne-tes

pl= as in plagiarism
a= as in palm but short
e= as in met
tes= as in test without the final t

>>40215300
What. Cyrillic does not use Σ

Definitely Greek, since the term "planets" was derived from it. Hell if I know how to pronounce it though

>>40215345
Lukewarm tale, brethren.

(Classical): IPA: [planɛː́tɛːs]
(Koine): IPA: [planˈeːteːs]
(Byzantine): IPA: [planˈitis]

According to Wiki. Guess it depends on what kind of greek it is.

>>40215413
>planitis

I have a serious case of planitis atm

Wow.
/a/: Reasonable discussions about foreign languages.

OP s master troll
10/10

>>40215455
I guess as long as it's not Japanese, people don't get riled up.

I just read it Planets
I really don't give a crap whether it's right or not

ITT: People who can't speak greek

>my face when I can

>>40215462
OP here. If only I was so brilliant.

>>40215490
You've got a man face and a bit of a fucked up haircut by your ear?

To clear up the confusion, it's spoken here at 0:18

It's not very clear, I know.

Whatever, this is a fucking awesome show.

Planetes is from the ancient Greek word for wanderers. During the middle of the episode you see this word in several different languages, including English.

Planets appear to wander across the sky, due to their orbits, hence the term. Of course, the ancient Greeks classified the Sun and Moon as a planet, but not the Earth. Which makes sense with this Geocentric definition.

>he doesn't speak greek

>>40215545
Perfect. I'm convinced. Plan-neet-es. I'm also surprised at how much spoken Greek reminds me of Slavic languages, event though I'm pretty sure they're fairly unrelated.

>>40215581
Uh...yeah?

ΠΛΑΝΗΤΕΣ

Plan - eat - es

ΠΛΑ=Pla (a is short)
ΝΗΤ=neet (the H is an "eta," it makes a long "e" sound)
ΕΣ=es (short e sound)

>>40215603
The first guy speaking in that video has a slight accent, it may be that. They sound similar to foreign listeners, but they actually have large differences.

Today, /a/ was helpful. Amazing.

I had 4 years of Greek
a dutchman would pronounce it this way (attic greek):
Plah like in the French place
Ne like in bed
Tes like in Nestles (the first e)
Thats it

>>40215545
>hear halfway between planaitez and planeetez
>still say planehtez

>>40215581
Also the humans are wandering around space.

>>40215785
Yeah, it's actually a really good title for the show. Which is refreshing amidst a sea of anime with incomprehensible titles. Alignment You! You! comes to mind.

>>40215773
That "z" ain't supposed to be there, bro. It's "s".
