5 Zigen???? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Evil S14 · 04-25-2002, 10:18 AM

I remember reading in a forum one time that its not actually said "Five Zigen" but its actually "Go Zigen" sounds weird, any of you japanese scholars out there know?

HippoSleek · 04-25-2002, 10:40 AM

go = five = 5
jp.    eng.   no.

*AceInHole* · 04-25-2002, 10:40 AM

1 = ich
2 = ni
3 = san
4 = yon
5 = go

i think....

junia · 04-25-2002, 10:50 AM

yeah its pronounced go-zigen.  It means the fifth dimension.

thewholefnshow · 04-25-2002, 11:12 AM

I know that "go" is five, cause for levins and trueno's the hachi go is the 85 and hachi rocku is 86

hachi I guess is 8 and rocku for sure is 6, and go is 5 for sure...

Speaking of numbers, has anyone ever noticed that 2 and 3 = Nissan? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

lol takes me back to initial d, always (really only like once or twice) they count to three, ich, ni, san then sumin else in jap.

if you go to overboost they have an article on pronounce a couple of things like 5Zigen, Mugen, and sum other basic car stuff.

5Zigen = "five-zee-gen" (g pronounced like g in "goat")
or in jap its "go-zee-gen"
and mugen in "moo-gen"(g pronounced like g in "goat")

Well I had no idea of the Japanese part in the 5Zigen name, but I used to say it "five zai-gen."

With the "zai" pronounced like the 'ti' part in "tiger," and the 'gen' like goat, with a hard 'g'.

5Zigen

Wierd
