Snake Uses Aizuchi
![r/metalgearsolid • 1 yr. ago Rhythm Robber "Metal Gear." "Metal Gear?" - Snake's Echo Questions I've noticed that a good amount of people think that Snake is dumb or something based on how he is always repeating back what people just said to him like he doesn't understand or is completely surprised, when in fact this is due to poor localization with the translations. It's actually a normal part of Japanese conversation to interject and repeat back what someone said to show that you were paying attention to them. It's called "Aizuchi", and often takes the form of an "echo question". It is to let the person who is speaking know that you are listening to what they are saying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aizuchi In the Japanese language, aizuchi are interjections during a conversation that indicate the listener is paying attention or understands the speaker... Aizuchi are considered reassuring to the speaker, indicating that the listener is active and involved in the discussion. Aizuchi can also take the form of so-called echo questions, which consist of a noun plus desu ka [a question word in japanese]. After Speaker A asks a question, Speaker B may repeat a key noun followed by desu ka to confirm what Speaker A was talking about or simply to keep communication open while Speaker B thinks of an answer. A rough English analog would be "A..., you say?", as in: "I got a [Metal Gear]"; reply: "A [Metal Gear], you say?". So a lot of people have gotten Snake completely wrong in that regard - it was meant to show that Snake is actually extremely attentive to all the information he gets, and also pretty respectful. ...](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/003/098/914/9fa.jpg)
