Ilo-Ilo and iro-iro

in #cambodia7 years ago (edited)

A funny story. In the Philippines there's a city named Ilo-Ilo. And in japanese there's a word "iro-iro".

A japanese girl when I asked her where she stayed in the Philippines, said to me - "Iro-Iro".

-- Where? In various cities? What cities?
-- Noooo. In Iro-Iro.... the city

I'd heard of the city before and that's why I was able to understand what she meant.

In Japanese the "l" doesn't exist and gets replaced with the "r".
