Shangri-La Tori and kana and mono “Sama” in Japanese is a word used for respctfully addressing other people. “Sama” on sama suomeksi = “Sama” is the same in Finnish. What? Japanese sama is for addressing people. Finnish sama is “same” in English. That is “onaji” in Japanese. Confused enough?
There are a number of Japanese or Finnish words that sound EXACTLY the same in both languages. The meanings are different, naturally.
The first word in a word pair is Japanese, the second Finnish. The romanization is to make pronunciation for English speakers as correct as possible, and as (naturally) it doesn’t represent Japanese, it doesn’t represent the correct Finnish spelling, either. For example, yoo in Finnish would be spelled joo.
