Cats do not say 'nyaa', they say 'meow'.

>>	Anonymous Fri Feb 22 13:21:39 2013 No.10520778 I don't even get where "nyaa" came from. "Meow" is at least a reasonable onomatopoeia, even if it's more like "mew".

>>10520778
What language(s) you learn early in life greatly affects what sounds you can hear most clearly later on. Practically speaking, there's no way to fully reflect the sound of a cat's meow within the pronunciation rules of a language, so when trying to do so anyway, the sounds you're used to hearing pop out.

Say there's two guys: one can only see in the visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation and the other is a freaky mutant who can only see microwaves. Both are looking at the sky, and the first guy says "The sky sure is blue", to which the other guy responds "Hell no, it ain't!"

Also, the Korean version of "meow" is "yaong". Think about that for a while.

>>	Anonymous Fri Feb 22 15:26:04 2013 No.10521233 >>10521228 Shut the fuck up. The phonemes a cat "says" are the same as in "mew". You'd have to be some sort of chink retard to think otherwise.
