    It’s the same in Arabic! “مئة واثنان وثلاثون” = “hundred and two and thirty” Not sure about German, but the Arabic example can theoretically come with in any order. However, you almost never see it another way





  • If i had to guess, what they’re most likely refering to isn’t onomatopoeia, but it’s pronunciation. Vore in Japanese is 「丸呑み」(swallow whole) which is pronounced as まるのみ and sounds like 「丸のみ」(only circles) .

    Using this as a rule for the date, the digits must be composed of only circles, i.e. either 0 or 8. This leaves only 8月8日 which fits the criteria.
