I based this on the the on'yomi, since apparently those are the readings you use when you write things phonetically with Kanji, although I'm not really sure about the accuracy (I'm already breaking rules of Japanese by writing a non-Japanese name in Kanji, so I don't mind that much. Plus, I know that transliterating using Hanzi works this way for Chinese, so maybe it's the same.


Probably we should just write his name as it is, since it's not a Japanese name, as you said, interpretations or transliterations don't always work.

I'm hoping that learning the basics, then actually assimilating into the culture will help me learn.

Well, if you're going by interpretations of how you see Dyakovo, there may be several ways to write his name.

I think that's what you did, you went with what you thought of him and wrote the kanji for it.

Hey, you get taught this shit in primary school, or else you moved... We don't get it forced onto us until later, when everything is all settled.

I am jealous of my girlfriend though... she speaks English and Bulgarian...
