Does it acutally mean something in Finland or just a coincidence...?
(ID #23398) Posted on 2008/01/25 09:38
That's just a coincidence. My friend told me, that he had asked the owner of that place, if he knows what that means in Japanese. Apparently, many Japanese visitors have been laughing at the name over the years so he knows. Oh, and when Keitaro Arima (of Tsukuyomi fame) was in Finland, he visited that cafe.
(ID #23435) Posted on 2008/01/25 12:40
Haha, that's cool. Thanks for letting me know~ It's nice that the owner of the shop didn't change the name of the shop even after he found out about it. Seems like he has a sense of humor ^^;

Lol, did you know that there is a town in Australia called Eromanga? It's a small town Southwest of Queensland. There is also the Eromanga basin which is a large Mesozoic sedimentary basin. So there are many things called eromanga besides hentai manga XD

Indeed. One of the "famous" studies on basin exhumation rates was carried out on the Eromanga Basin. But what is the origin of the word eromanga though? Is it Finnish?
(ID #627219) Posted on 2009/05/30 23:16

(ID #23418) Posted on 2008/01/25 10:58
Linked my fine Finnish friend to this, she found it hilarious, though it's apparently just a home bakery. Eromanga isn't a Finnish word however, so this appears to just be another case of some random company making up an interesting sounding name without being aware that it means something in a different language.
(ID #23420) Posted on 2008/01/25 11:11
Looks like someone was searching for eromanga and came to a wrong turn. :P Online Dictionary says: (3) Results for finnish word: "ero" 1 ero difference 2 ero inequality 3 ero parting Nothing for manga though. >_>
(ID #23424) Posted on 2008/01/25 11:42
Name "Eromanga" doesn't mean anything in Finnish. It's just a place far away from Finland, and for some unknown reason that bakery has just chosen it to be their name. "Ero", however, does have a meaning on Finnish. It means same as "difference". And of course there's a word "erotiikka" in Finnish, but people don't call it "ero" here. There are also some other funny examples. For example, company called Taffel sells potato chips, and the biggest bag of chips is called Mega Pussi, which may sound funny in English. But "pussi" means just "bag" in English, nothing rude. Another, a bit older example are biscuits which were called Rape. For some reason they didn't live long...
(ID #23439) Posted on 2008/01/25 13:03
A friend of mine sent me a bag of Juusto cheese snacks, and she said some bilingual comedians do make jokes about check out people asking if they would like a pussi. ;) I'm thinking the makers know the joke, as the snack logo is a bit funny too. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tfangel/3527279999/in/set-72157617990487335/

Maybe you can. It's false advertising. However I think since it's Finland the advertise has to be in Finnish, Swedish (half of Finland speaks Swedish) or English. It's assumed that people don't know second meanings in other languages. I would really hate to open a store and then get sued because the name turns out to mean "free beer" in Swahili or Croatian or whatever ^^;

It's a trap for Otaku for sure. It's purpose is to: lure us to Finland > get inside the bekary > when we'll find out that it's not an ero place they suppose that we'll think "since I'm in this bekary I may try it's bread as well" = That's how they get us to buy their bread

I've been to the place many times and once asked the lady behind the counter what's with the name.

I heard this from my friend and I will try to explain it to you. :P In Finland we have word "hanavesi" what comes from words "hana" meaning "tap" and "vesi" meaning "water". When we start playing with words we can have funny coincidences. In japanese we also have word "hana" meaning nose and word "mizu" meaning water. Let's start: "Hanavesi" ---> Tap water "Hanavesi" ---> はなvesi (now we changed finnish word hana(=tap) to japanese word "hana"(=nose) "はなvesi" ----> はなみず (and now we change finnish word vesi(=water) to japanese word "mizu" ...and now we get word はなみず "hanamizu" and what I have heard it means snot. Is that true? I hope you understand my bad explanation and catch the joke. :P
