why do ppl call it saya-jin?

[Vegeta420]

there accutly called saiyans jin just means ppl in japanese

 

[Navanax]

Saiya-jin is the Japanese spelling, Saiyan is the English/American spelling.....

 

[Vegeta_Master]

I am just used to spelling it cos it's the Japanese way, but just imagine it as a silent J.

 

[Evil_Trunks]

Which is also why you will see Super Saiyan abbreviated as SSJ. Because of the japanese spelling of Super Saiya-jin. Most DBZ fans will say SSJ. But all products released by Funi will abbreviate it SS.

SS makes it sound like a boat...:\

I think in Japansese "Jin" means "person" not sure...I might haev heard wrong =/

 

[Sonic the Vampire]

Jin basically means citizen. An America-jin is an American, ect.

 

[Wyatt]

that makes sense too cuz if u have America the person is called an American but if u have Saiya in japan it wud be called saiyajin becuz the sufix is jin in crazy japland but in us its an "n" so its Saiyan.

[GoldSaiyan]

Yes, it means person or man.

And Japanese isn't Indo-Europian or does not follow our language rules.

English:
"I will get the gun"
Japanese:
"I get gun"
or
"I will get gun"

I'm not totally sure though.

 

[Galst Vic]

Well Super Saiyan sound better than the japanese saying of saiya-jin......Anyway I like Gokus voice in ENGLISH version on JAPANESE he sounds like a girl.....I think the voices that have for the US version of DBZ is better than japanese cuz the japanese voices are I dont know girlish lol.

 

[Engar]

What would you rather hear?

"Goku is going SSJ!"

or..

"Goku is going SS!.. No not the damn boat!"

 

[Arthos]

It don't matter to me. I personally use Saiya-jin.
