I need your expertise in Japanese
When I was in the Army in the 1950's I was a cryptographer in the Army Security Agency stationed on Okinawa - I know I am going to butcher this but the local peoples used something like "tshu shin tai" as the name for us or our base, I am curious what it meant. Sorry if I butchered it to bad to be recognizable.
I hope this doesn't get "loons" to "looning", I'm curious is all
Thanks Ron
Sorry, I am not familiar with the term. I have heard that the Okinawa dialect is quite different from mainland Japanese.
thanks Ray! Its sorta been nagging at me for some 50+ years to know but I'm still sleeping okay!
You're welcome! I think "Shin Tai may be a Buddhist term but that didn't make sense in the context you described.
