Question by Madison: How do you say "New Country" in Japanese? I am doing a project where you have to make up your own country. My country is Japanese and since it's a new country I wanted "New Country" in Japanese to be it's nickname. I don't want Japanese letters, although. Please include pronunciation. Best answer for How do you say "New Country" in Japanese?:
Answer by zoe
Sorry if I didn't understand your question, but in Japanese, new=sin; country= kuni. So u can use "sin-kuni". The other word for new- atarashii, is an adjective, which is used in a sentence, but not commonly used in a phrase. japanese like it short. So using "sin" is better. Pronounciation: simple ( pronounce as written)
Answer by allisondaniell
Atarashi is new, and Kuni is country C: Pronounced "ah-tah-rah-shii koo-nii" Hope that helps!
Answer by Yahoo Red Cross
"Atarashii Kuni" "atarashii" = new "kuni" = country

>>> we begin with the hunt to win october and in particular the next five days that could prove decisive in this presidential campaign . indeed, after a cruel summer that extended well into september, mitt romney is now in the air on his way to denver. more desperate than ever to shake the etch-a-sketch and restart his campaign with a must-win debate on wednesday. much is at stake with the latest battleground polls showing romney losing by 11 points to the president. with the first face-off looming on the horizon, romney finds himself saddled this monday with fresh doubts placed in his mind by the only two people he's ever proposed to, starting with paul ryan .
>> first of all, 47% mitt acknowledges himself that was an inarticulate way of describing how we're worried in that stagnant obama economy more people are becoming dependent on economy.
>> what could be better for the emotional stability of a presidential candidate than your running mate calling you inarticulate? never mind. paul ryan is the one key numbers guy . so let's hear him explain the tax policy .
>> the cut in tax rates is lower -- all american tax rates --
>> how much does it cost?
>> it's revenue neutral.
>> it's not revenue neutral unless you take away the deductions. the first half, lowering the tax rates . does that cost $ 5 trillion?
>> no, no. look, i won't get into a baseline argument with you.
>> you haven't given me the math.
>> well, i don't have the time -- it would take me too long to go through all the math.
>> all right. you know what, mitt? you better put paul ryan away somewhere. send him to a sports bar somewhere in ohio . at least he can have a few beers with voters. he's got that going for him. who knows, it might help make inroads with that 9% deficit romney is facing against the president in the latest ohio poll. then again, there may not be enough time to do enough shots with enough intoxicated fans before voting starts in ohio tomorrow. so if his running mate is no use, how about a boost from the other person mitt's proposed to, his wife, ann. surely she can provide the comfort and confidence that mr. romney needs to fire up his bid for the presidency.
>> my biggest concern obviously would just be for the -- his mental well-being.
>> wait? what? mrs. romney , that's not helping. you better finish the thought.
>> i have all the confidence in the world in his ability, in his decisiveness, in his leadership skills, in his understanding of the economy, in his understanding of what's missing right now in the economy, you know, the pieces that are missing to get this jump started. so for me i think it would be the emotional part of it.
>> right. he's capable, decisive, and emotionally troubled? well, that is an october surprise . let's get right to our panel this afternoon. with us from washington, msnbc political analyst karen finney, who is a democratic strategist. also julian epstein, who is a democratic strategist, and here in new york msnbc political analyst professor michael eric dyson . professor dyson, mitt romney 's wife says she's concerned about his mental health . paul ryan says he's inarticulate. if he can't think straight and he can't speak properly, is mitt romney george bush in disguise?
>> i'll tell what you. i want to give you the baseline, i don't have time to give you the numbers. look, obviously this is a campaign that has gone awry. his great he is help mete, his wife, has revealed his greatest fault line. his own wife casting suspicion on the --
>> to be fair you have extrapolated somewhat. do you really think that that comment by his wife indicated a genuine anxiety she has for his mental well-being?
>> well perhaps, an unspoken one. i don't think that obviously when she said mental well-being, i think she's talking about the emotional. the toughness it takes to stand in office. i'm not suggesting he somehow has borderline personality. i'm suggesting that the border states however are coming into view here and that the swing states certainly are up for grabs because mitt romney has squandered a serious purchase on his right wing constituency, gotten through paul ryan , and now i think his wife is saying the kind of mental toughness that obama has displayed may be elusive for him. paul ryan , on the other hand, is trying to say inarticulate? i don't think mitt romney said he was inarticulate --
>> he said he was being inelegant. that's different than inarticulate.
>> despite his mental fragility, romney is going to be prepared. "the new york times," romney 's team has clon cluded that debates are about creating moments and has equipped him with a series of zingers that he has memoried and have been practicing on aides since august. those lucky aides.
>> here how governor perry was trying to have a moment and he couldn't remember the three agencies that he wanted to cut? i mean, the thing about trying to practice, you know, certain words and phrases that you intend to say is, a, making sure that you use them or deploy them at the right moment, and then, b, making sure you actually remember the whole thing and that the delivery is right. i think a far better strategy, i don't know, would be to be honest and know the facts and try --
>> don't be ridiculous, karen . you know this whole campaign has had nothing to do with that. that's an unreasonable and ridiculous thing to say, karen . if you have nothing more sensible to contribute, i will move to julian . speaking of zingers, donald trump advises on twitter, in debate mitt romney should ask obama why auto by fri states born in kenya, raised in indonesia. i think that's a great idea, don't you? he's already got his birther joke handy. why not go straight for the birthers.
>> his facts are as accurate as the republican facts have been. that was never said in obama 's autobiography. it was a silly thing that a publicity agent had made years before. but just to pick up on karen 's point for a second, i think she's onto something. you don't come to a gun fight with a butter knife. that's effectively what romney is doing. debates are about, guess what, debates. that means you come with facts and ideas. and it's hard for me to understand what exactly romney is coming to this debate with.
>> 20% across the board tax cut .
>> right. which has to mean a tax increase for the middle class . it's the only way to pay for it if you want it to be revenue neutral. he can't make the argument about the economy because as we've said, he'll try to make the argument that obama has been an infective steward. we're now protected to be a positive three. that's a 12% positive swing since he came in as president. and it's just hard to see where romney goes on the economy because obama has got a good answer. he can't go anywhere on taxes because his proposal has got to mean a middle income -- middle class tax increase. he can't go anywhere on medicare because they're losing the argument badly, particularly in ohio and florida on medicare . that's a big reason why the numbers have flipped in those two states because seniors hav e moved over to the obama --
>> karen ?
>> i was going to say the other thing, to julian 's point, it's a debate which means unlike the debates that mitt romney did earlier this year where you have maybe 30 seconds to get in an answer and you don't necessarily get to answer every time, it's just him and president obama sitting there with a moderator. so he should be prepared for the fact that there is a possibility of a follow-up question that says, okay, how are you going to do that? yes, let's take the time for you to walk us through it. that being said, look, he's going to get a certain amount of gravitas just sitting there on the stage with the president. whether or not he blows that with trying to use cute words and phrases --
>> zingers?
>> i think as karen and julian have suggested those zingers are not going to work. you have to have a sense of timing and rhythm p... c he doesn't have no timing. it don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing. the zings won't make a difference. the contrast between obama and romney will show up even more seriously the lack of gravitas. i think it's the lack of substance and seriousness that he has. an automaton can present a kind of face of the machine but it can't get to the heart of the matter and what america is looking for is the heart and the emotional wherewithal that his wife spoke of that may be missing in mitt romney at this critical moment .
>> allidoesn't the president face a potential hazard himself because he must have seen the absence of policy, the lack of detail that all of us have been complaining about for months. his friends at fox news have been klaining abocomplaining about a lack of detail. only yesterday in the interviews conducted by chris wallace , do you not think the president faces a danger he could display a level of impatience.
>> it's like playing tennis against somebody who doesn't have much to play with on the other side. i think the president has on his side the facts and, you know, the public is now starting to believe on the right track/wrong track, the public is starting to move into obama 's camp. there are ricks for obama clearly, but i think romney has got to have a huge, huge night, and obama would have to have a terrible night to actually move the needle. i don't think that's likely to happen. let's leave all these expectations game aside. let me pick up on one last point on the ryan thing. ryan saying the 47% was inarticulate, whatever the word was he used, that's the pot calling the kettle black . ryan has probably hurt the ticket much more so than the 47%. if you look at two states, florida and ohio , they were extremely close when ryan was picked as the nominee. now obama has considerable leads. you look at the reason why and seniors have gone from being in the romney camp into the obama camp and almost the entire explanation for that is that they do not like the ryan plan on medicare . so ryan has demonstrably hurt this ticket, turt it very badly in the swing states and particularly with seniors.
>> congratulations to paul ryan . karen , julian , michael eric dyson who is off to see jay-z later, thank you all.
>>> is the media really biased against mitt or is he simply a flawed candidate?
>> i love this state. it seems right here, the trees are the right height. above the fruited plain i like cars. i don't like vampires.
