SuJu's 绰号~

Because, uh, I was bored. These are loltastic and WTF-filled and sort of mean, but in affectionate ways. There are a few that I find nearly impossible to translate or understand, so help out if you can~

SUPER JUNIOR CHINESE NICKNAMES
Source: this blog


李特:小队,特特,特队, 特妈 移动医院(唉 哥 你的身体啊 )
Leeteuk: Little leader, [the equivalent of] TeukieTeukie, Teuk-leader, Teuk-mama, and the last one is impossible to translate literally but its meaning is that if he so much as lifts a finger/moves, he’ll end up in the hospital (Oh, ge, your body…)

希澈:公主,女王,黑车 ,辛得瑞拉(灰姑娘) (自己起的~还有瑞拉教为证!!!!)
Heechul: Princess, Queen, Black Car [because it's a transliteration of "Heechul", i.e., hei che (whatever, China)], Cinderella (He picked this himself~ Also goes by Rella!)

韩庚:庚宝 庚少爷 地主 爷
Hankyung: Geng-precious, Master Geng, Landlord, Grandpa/Old Gentleman

艺声:大云,云王子,云妃(特注:绝对不可以叫大头了,大云哥说他不喜欢 ELF也已经达成共识了 不会叫他这个名字了)
Yesung: Big Cloud, Prince Cloud, Concubine Cloud [I…don’t know how to explain this one] (Notice: We can no longer call him “Big Head” because oppa said he didn’t like it; ELF has already promised not to call him that anymore)

强仁:茄子 蔬菜 还有狸猫或者鼹鼠(全称是KOREA NO.1 狸猫/鼹鼠)
Kangin: Eggplant [explanation here], Vegetables, and also Fox cat/Mole [I’m guessing both of these are supposed to be substitutes for “Raccoon” even though there’s a perfectly good word for raccoon in Chinese, idek] (But you are Korea’s no. 1 Fox cat/Mole)

神童:童童 肉肉(因为是爱五花肉的哥哥) 才干小子 (无可否认的才干天才 呵呵)
Shindong: DongDong, RouRou [lit: meat-meat…um, but not in a vicious way; affectionate] (Because oppa loves Wu Hua Rou/pork belly/bulgogi [thank you [livejournal.com profile] bel_chan!]), Talent/Genius Boy (who can deny his genius talent hehe)

晟敏:兔子,南瓜兔(晟敏在姐妹海中的名台词)沙漠猫(只知道是恩赫取的,不过有一起对比的图,真的很像)
Sungmin: Rabbit, Pumpkin Bunny ([something I don’t want to translate lol; ::lazy::]), Desert Cat (only know that EH picked it, but when you compare some pictures, he’s really quite similar)

银赫:宝石美男(自称) 250(fan 们的爱称 没有贬义的)
蟑螂(希澈取的,说的即使地球灭亡了,恩赫也会像蟑螂似的活着...也可以说是瑞拉教的蟑螂= = 继续汗!!)
Eunhyuk: Beautiful Jewel Boy (self-picked), 250 (We fans love you, don’t take it badly) [250 = “retard” or “idiot” in Chinese, explanation here], Cockroach (Heechul picked it, said because if the world blew up, like a cockroach, EH would continue to live …can also say that it's Rella's cockroach. -.- *sweatdrop*)

东海:匹诺曹(澈起的 瑞拉教的匹诺曹 = =!!)海宝,小海 ,小龙王(在中国的综艺节目时汪涵哥哥取的)
Donghae: Pinocchio (Chul picked it, Rella’s Pinocchio!), Treasure of the Sea, Little Sea, Little Dragon King (nNamed by Wang Han-gege on a Chinese art program; also reference to 西游记/Journey to the West/Saiyuki) [This makes Hannie’s comment on Yue Ce Yue Kai Xing make so much more sense! When the MCs asked if DH, as a father, wanted a little prince (小王子) or little princess (小公主) for a kid, Hannie was like, “He wants a 小龙王!” Cuuuute. My bias, does it show? ;D]

始源:辛巴王子(反正就是保护灰姑娘(澈)的 恩恩 是瑞拉教的辛巴王子 汗!!)小面额,十块钱 ,票子 ,小百搭= =!!
Siwon: Prince Simba (anyway, it’s the one that will protect Cinderella (Chul) hehe, it’s Rella’s Prince Simba! *SWEATDROP*), Little Denominations [apparently because it means "small quantity of money", which means "ten dollars" lol; again thank you to [livejournal.com profile] suxing], Ten Dollars [Because SW’s Chinese name “shi yuan” has similar pronunciation to “ten dollars” (same pinyin, different tones)], Ticket [I…can’t explain this one either, help?], Hundred Matches/Pairings [i.e., he can be paired with anyone; thank you to [livejournal.com profile] dr3ams!]

丽旭:老么(虽然奎贤是最小的,但是可能在奎贤进来之前大家叫惯了所以..不过怎么看 这孩子就是老小的样子啊 …….)
Ryeowook: Youngest [Chinese equivalent of “magnae”] (Even though KH is really the youngest, but before KH joined everyone already grew accustomed to calling RW this, so…no matter how you look at it, this kid seems like the youngest~)

基范:鸡饭,小包子 白雪公主(瑞拉教的白雪公主 汗!!)
Kibum: Chicken rice [LOL, because Kibum’s Chinese name is Ji1 fan4 which sounds the same as, well, chicken rice/feed], Little Steamed Bun, Snow White (Rella’s Snow White *sweatdrop*)

奎贤:现在亲们都叫小13 GAME贤 电视剧贤 FH贤 吼吼~~~
Kyuhyun: Now we (fans) call Little 13 [his original nickname] GAME-hyun , TV-hyun, FH-hyun lol~ [because Kyu is addicted to his games~]

Henry: 小年糕, 小孩子, 小花兒, 小提琴王子, 儿子
Little Rice Cake, Child, Little Flower [because of Sohu Starchat where the hosts made each member try the Beijing "er" pronunciation], Violin Prince, son [typically used by older female fans...how awkward...]
--thank you [livejournal.com profile] ai_fantasy9

周觅: 觅宝
Zhou Mi: Mi-precious
--thank you to [livejournal.com profile] ai_fantasy9

[livejournal.com profile] suxing suggests:
小舟 (Xiao Zhou) = Little Boat
粥饭 (Zhou Fan) = Porridge! Or Zhou Mi Fans! 8D
蜜糖 (Mi Tang) = Honey

[livejournal.com profile] kiku_cha8_8 suggests:
蜜蜂 (Mi Feng) = Honey Bee! :D
蜜枣 (Mi Zhao) = Jujube!
密友 (Mi You) = close friend


I APPROVE. And you?



So...yeah. Chinese fans. Inexplicable creatures, lol. I wonder if Henry and Zhou Mi have nicknames yet. :D ZM NEEDS MOAR LOVE AND NICKNAMES, GUYS. ;_;

I know it's sweat, but I don't understand how she's using it, unless it's supposed to be the word-replacement for "sweatdrop" or something. WEIRD.

I want to know what they've named Henry if 小包子 is already taken. D:

妃 = concubine. It's what the emperor's many not-wives were called. D: I CAN'T EVEN PRETEND TO UNDERSTAND WHY YESUNG IS...yeah. Idk.

I mean, why are we calling Kangin Vegetables?! ._.?

Oh, and 汗 is "sweatdrop". My international Chinese friends use it so much, I'm starting to pick it up. orz

And uhm. Hahaha, Kibum-chicken feed. And I think I will have to make sujucons with Chinese nicknames now, oh yes. :DDD

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
It hit me after I posted and angsted about it that it was probably supposed to be "sweatdrop". But writing it out like that in the middle of your sentence! D: It bugs me almost as much as doing it in English. asklfjdk.

But, LOL @ Chinese nicknames. Especially at 移动医院 & 蟑螂 ha! Chinese fans kill me.

You are probably right. :( My Chinese is abysmal after, uh, 17 years abroad, lol. But SJM is pushing me to improve it.

I'm just not entirely sure what "chicken rice" entails, but whatever~ Chinese fans apparently don't need to make sense. LOL

Thanks for doing this! It's really hard wandering around the chinese forums and baidu and trying to figure out who they're talking about.

女王 translates better as 'queen', I thought? Also I think 黑车 is probably a phonetic thing with Heechul heichul heiche *lightbulb moment* -.-'' (or is it -.-汗!!?)

Ahahahahahahaha oh man I want to call Yehsung 大头子. How is that not absolutely PERFECT? I love that the fans are like 'OKAY WE'RE NOT CALLING HIM THAT ANYMORE. THERE WAS A BOARD MEETING IN KOREA AND THEY DECIDED IT.'

小面额 was explained in one of the interviews they did. Apparently it's a spin off of his 十块钱 nickname. I don't remember the name of the interview, but it's the one where Siwon and Hankyung get their faces stuffed by the other members. 百搭 appears to be a slang for clothes/things that match (百搭:就是说什么都能与其搭配,可以指颜色,衣服的款式,不是一种穿衣风格.比如黑色和白色就是百搭色,牛仔裤也是百搭,什么衣服都能与其搭配.from here (http://oliviading.blog.sohu.com/76981712.html) if you can make sense of that because I don't want to >.<)

Sorry! Sorry, I'm tl;dring, I just love translating so much omg.

Also, I've taken to calling Henry 小母鸡 (which is UNINSPIRED, I KNOW), and Zhoumi 狐狸精 (but only because of this fanfic (http://halcyon-morn.livejournal.com/9885.html#cutid1) and because his face reminds me of a fox).

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
No, thank you for these! I already got help on most of the things you mentioned but I seriously appreciate it all the same. Translating is a good excuse to improve Chinese and still fangirl SJ/SJM. :D SUPER EXCITING.

I also lol at the decision not to call Yesung 大头 anymore, because I think that's a hilarious nickname. Now if only someone could explain Kangin's "eggplant" to me...

Lol, one of Hangeng's nickname is landlord? Can someone please explain why to me? Shindong called him that during an episode of EHB, didn't he? 8D

I have no idea why most of these nicknames are as so, but they're kind of hilarious anyway. I figure a lot of them come from inside jokes. :D;;

lol lol at KyuHyun's XDD What game does the FH stand for?
XDDDDDDD!! I was going to tell you the Henry ones, but someone beat me to it. LOL. Henry has the most adorable ones♥! *biasedbiased*

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
I love Henry but ZM NEEDS LOVE. ;_; He needs cute nicknames too, poor bb.

According to google, FH stands for Battlefield Mod: Forgotten Hope. I have no idea if that's right though.

[Because SW’s Chinese name “shi yuan” is the same pronunciation as “ten dollars”]

I wouldn't say same, but similar.
Siwon's name in Mandarin is shi3 yuan2.
$10 in Mandarin is shi2 yuan2.

So they sound similar but they don't sound the same.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, yes, point. That's more semantics of my sentence structure though; I'll edit so it doesn't say "same" pronunciation. Thanks!

According to this site (http://www.languagerealm.com/chinese/chinese_slang_e.php), 250 is an expression that comes from "the ancient Chinese practice of using the square hole in copper coins to string them together. A string of 1000 coins was called a diao, and bàndiàozi (半弔子 or 半吊子) represented half a diao, as well as a slang way of saying someone was inadequate. But modest Chinese scholars took to using this slang term about themselves as a form of self-deprecation, and so one-half again of a diao is a true idiot, a '250'.)"

I... am beyond amused by the reasoning behind cockroach XD

Heechul gives such special nicknames, haha.

Thank you for the info! Shall link in post. :D Poor Hyukkie, so lovingly abused all the time...

[identity profile] kai-yukashi.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
so the thing with Hyukkie being 250, 250 = two hundred and fifty = er bai wu shi (二百五十). However the word for idiot/retard/fool is er bai wu (二百五) which basically means "someone who don't know anything". So that's where 250 = idiot come from haha. so funny XD poor hyukkie XD

as for Donghae being Little Dragon King, aside from it being give to him by some other chinese guy, is also that in Chinese legends specifically Saiyuki (xi you ji), there is a "东海龙王" literally God/King of the Eastern Sea. That's sort of also why every time i hear Donghae being called 东海 i wanna follow up with 龙王. so basically since Donghae is "young" more like a prince than a god/king (the story's 东海龙王 is usually depicted as old/wise), he's therefore called the "Young" or "Little" Dragon King. :D

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I did wonder if the 小龙王 had anything to do with 西游记. Aw, Chinese culture infiltrates~ Thank you, by the way!

Hahaha, I know. As if learning 15 Korean names wasn't hard enough, there's also real names vs. stage names, and then Chinese names, and then Chinese nicknames. I think fandom likes it make things hard for itself sometimes. ;D

[identity profile] meemobunny.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
chinese fans are pretty creative! XDD
LOLLL @ 移动医院 and 鸡饭 (the pronunciation of kibum's name in chinese is so awkward-sounding -- i'm kind of glad he's not in SJ-M simply for the reason that i would crack up every time he introduced himself in chinese ;;;)
and poor eunhyuk! the only positive sounding nickname he has was picked by himself. XD;;

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Chinese fans just really, really like their puns? Ahaha. God, some of these are hilariously awful. ♥

Seriously, poor Hyuk, no one gives him love without abuse!

[identity profile] untouched-music.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOL. those chinese fans love to call them their nicknames and i was so freaking confused LOL.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
They really do, so hopefully this, uh, helps clarify at least a little. So many names to remember!

...小13 is an adorable nickname ♥

I really want to call ZM 蜜蜂 (Mi Feng, Honey Bee! :D) or 蜜枣 (Mi Zhao, Jujube!). 密友 (Mi You is really sweet too, close friend)

dude...the Zhoumi x Hangeng pairing should be called 密函 (Mi4Han2, pronunciation is the same, but it means Secret Letter 8D)

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
小13 is an adorable nickname
It really is! I am going to run around calling him this all the time now. And all the other nicknames that aren't totally bizarre (though I confess I am strangely drawn to calling Kangin "eggplan" lol).

I like your ZM nicknames! :D Must edit into post; I hope some of these cute things will get adopted by fans. ♥

I love nothing better than procrastinating to information about Chinese/Korean boybands.

Economics exam, why must you be happening in four hours?

Thank you for these. I especially love Eeteuk's. Bend too far and snap.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Teukie's nicknames make me happy but I am, er, biased. ♥ I hope Econ test went well! :D

[identity profile] sheepmachine.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Additional info on Eunhyuk's roachism:
There was an incident that Kang and Teuk went out, and Hyuk followed/sneaked up on them, and when Teuk found out, he was like, "WTH YOU ROACH!!!!!111!" OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT LOL.
