アング
Angu
アング (Angu) is the Japanese transcription of the name Aang, the main character from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender.
This is a proper noun used to refer to the specific character from the series. Because it is a foreign name, it is written using the katakana script.
How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is Angu.
Did you know?
- The character Aang is referred to as アバター 'Avatar' in Japanese, just as he is in English, but this word originates from the Sanskrit word for 'descent'.
- Because アング is a loanword, it is written in katakana, but in fan-made art or stylized titles, it is occasionally written in hiragana to make the character seem more 'soft' or 'cute'.
- While English speakers say the name with a single syllable, a Japanese speaker pronounces it as two distinct beats: 'An' and 'gu'.
Examples in context
- アバターが大好きで、アーンが一番好きなキャラクターだよ。I love Avatar and Aang is my favorite character.
- アニメの主人公はアングです。Anime no shujinkou wa Angu desu.The main character of the anime is Aang.
