Title: Quick Translation Please
Post by: shenske on January 20, 2010, 09:05:34 PM

I wouldnt dare to condone someone buying one of these  :P  but I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out what the character is between the 4 & the 1.  I assumed it was one of these words "in, inside, within, include, game, multiple, together" but no such luck.  Can anyone shed some light as to what the character means?  Thanks  :)

The character is "合" (most commonly read as "au" or 合う in Japanese). I cannot guarantee that its Chinese meaning is the exact same but in Japanese it means "together", "fit"or "group" and is used for compound words with meanings like "combine" or "fusion". In any case it's pretty clear to me that it's some way of writing "4 in 1" in Chinese.

Thanks Jigsaw, much appreciated. That will help in the cover I'm in the slow process of making  :)
