Language question

[Kent Enfield]

I have a language question for our francophone members:

What verb is the French equivalent of tsuku/tsuki? Just couper, or enfoncer, or something else?

Im sorry that someone didnt tell you sooner, we actually dont allow the French to post on these forums....

It makes us English a little sour.


Kidding!

Have you tried any of those translation sites? I am pretty sure finding one in the target languages are hard (French/Japanese) but there may be some lying around somewhere.

If I'm not mistaken, Stroud-sensei speaks some French.

tsuki means throat, it's not a verb, just like kote, men and do are not verbs...

throat in french is "gorge" it's feminine so it'd be "la gorge"...

You can use that to explain what it is, but in keiko or shiai you wouldn't say gorge, you'd say tsuki.

Are you sure about that? In karate, a punch is called tsuki. My understanding is that means "thrust," as in gyakuzuki "reverse thrust."

You should try getting in contact with Jacques Payet's Yoshinkan aikido dojo. They're on the web, and he's French, I believe.

tsuki is not a verb, but it doesnt mean throat either.

tsuki means thrust or stab.

nodo means throat.

tsuku means to thrust, to attack, to poke, to strike.


well... too bad i dont know french and you dont need a spanish translation, aaaah.

In fencing the terms used are taille and estoc (names).
Taille is used for a cut and estoc for a thurst.
Un coup means attack.
Gorge means throat.
Poignet means wrist.

nodo tsuki -> coup d'estoc à la gorge.
kote -> coup de taille au poignet.

Taille and estoc are not really used.
We could use couper and piquer (verbs).

piquer la gorge
couper le poignet

nodo tsuki -> coup d'estoc à la gorge.Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.
