I talked to my Japanese friend today. I ask her what tsunami means in Japanese and she said it means to them a series of waves. Tsu series, Nami means waves. They don’t think of it as Harbor waves. Harbor is a different word too. She told me the word but can’t spell it. She looked tsunami up and saw it said harbor waves but that’s like a port, something stationary to her. They interpret it different even if it says harbor. Anyways things aren’t so simple when learning another language as it might seems if from written translators. They see it as we do, a tidal wave.
