@@mascotwithadinosaur9353 it’s not rude to ask something you don’t understand. And misophonia is a strong reaction to certain sounds, mainly repetitive sounds like fire alarms, phone alarms, pencil tapping/clicking and the like.
@@mascotwithadinosaur9353 Misophonia can be more accurately described as a neurological disorder where certain sounds trigger a brain pathway that's connected to the "fight or flight" area. This leads to reactions like anger, aggression, and stress when hearing certain sounds. The exact sounds can vary from person to person, and the severity of their effects depends on the perceived origin of the sound - for example, if you are triggered by pen tapping skunds, you could have a reaction to something that *sounds* like it, until you realize it's not, like a washing machine with something stuck inside of it. The sound won't change but you'll stop feeling stress. Similarly, on rare occasions, triggering sounds don't trigger a reaction when the perceived origin meets certain criteria - for example, my misophonia is on eating sounds, but it's not triggered by certain people whom I perceive as never able to be a threat. It's not something explainable by logic because it doesn't involve thinking, it's just messed up neuron wiring, at least from what current (and very sparse) research shows. A lot of people, including mental health "professionals" tend to not take misophonia seriously for two reasons - it's a barely known condition (not even listed in the DSM-5, the widely accepted list of mental disorders) and everyone thinks it's a psychological problem, i.e. an overreaction. A lot of people will just laugh at it and deliberately ignore scientific articles because of that. I can tell you from my experience that it has caused me enormous stress during school because everyone would chew gum non-stop - it feels like hearing a wild animal that's about to attack you, but a feeling of extreme rage is even more prevalent, and it only gets worse over time. I'm taking, like, I seriously considered murdering the person chewing gum on the spot. Luckily I've learned a lot of self-control over the years, but it didn't make the suffering any better. I'm now in online school so misophonia is barely a problem. For other sufferers it can ruin lives if they have to hear triggering sounds at home and/or at work. The worst part is that if you try to tell people to stop making those noises, you're considered weird and rude.

But it's really not that simple. Her brain understands "lu" as a single atomic sound. When she hears "google", her brain is trying to decide if it's more correct to say "gugo" or "gugulu", because those are the closest sounds in her language. It can be EXTREMELY frustrating when you know you're not making the sound that native speakers of the other language expect, but since those sounds don't exist in your language, you're literally incapable of producing those sounds naturally.

Also I'm pretty sure its okay to say as it is the japanese pronunciation. In my language we say Google correct but don't use English accent and it sounds more flat.
@@AwesomeAxolotlt no, the problem is not being able to process/hear the sound. it is exactly what the op said. someone right above you just confirmed they can't hear the difference between "can" and "can't" too. i have a similar problem. i am fluent in a second language now but i still sometimes hear things wrong when they use the sounds that aren't in my first language. when i speak in my second language, it all sounds normal to me, but i have been asked countless times to repeat what i said because i am saying something "wrong" by unintentionally changing the pronunciation of words to use the sounds in my first language. i went through a phase where i was very very depressed and upset that i cannot speak the second language "correctly" even when it sounds perfectly correct to me. i have learned to deal with it and am ok now, especially since i found out it is very normal and expected to happen when someone learns a second language that has sounds that are not in their first language. it is one of many quirks of the human brain.
You are not supposed to cry at this. You are supposed to wonder, because you don't know the reason behind why this happens, why she is not able to not just pronounce, but even hear the word 'google' correctly. Be more curious.
It's funny because she's so close if she puts them together and just stops before the u. Edit: Holy shit she did it! She triggered my Google Home mini towards the very end.
Luna: Wait a minute..Google is pronounced "Gugol"? I've been calling it "Gugulu." Why didn't someone tell me?! Oh, I've been making an idiot out of myself!
That part of the stream is the cutest thing ever. I was just relaxing to this stream and suddenly: Okay, gugulu x10. Whenever I have time I always join Luna's piano streams. They're so relaxing.
2:26 *in national geographic voice * And here we here the google and Luna doing thier mating call together let's watch these majestic creatures making thier sounds together
Haha, she’s so cute Btw this is the problem when converting English words to Japanese using katakana. It uses a system that should apply to every word instead of analyzing its pronunciation individually. For example, it sounds better to use instead ゴ (go) instead of グ (gu) twice. Also, it’s better to just omit the ル (ru) sound because it creates an additional sound that was not required in other to replace the sound of the “L” that is missing in Japanese. So the best way to pronounce it in Japanese would be something like グーゴ (Guugo) Yet, the official transliteration is グーグル (Guuguru)
Somehow I find hilarious that you can see Russian comments in the chat almost for the whole duration of the video. Didn't except Luna to be appealing to fellow comrades.
Japan doesn't have words that end in consonants except the n sound. So like, even when she hears the English pronunciation, it sounds like "gu go" to her ears. Her brain isn't processing the "L" sound at the end.
I remember when I still haven’t learned english, I always refer to “google” as gugeru it’s always the letter L and R that gets me everytime! i’m a pro at it now tho.
This reminds me of when I was in the shop, and I saw a shirt with Wartortle, Charmeleon and Ivysaur on it, and I was like "I love War-or-le", I went full British and said adios to the ts 😔😔

@@AwesomeAxolotlt no, the problem is not being able to process/hear the sound. it is exactly what the op said. someone right above you just confirmed they can't hear the difference between "can" and "can't" too. i have a similar problem. i am fluent in a second language now but i still sometimes hear things wrong when they use the sounds that aren't in my first language. when i speak in my second language, it all sounds normal to me, but i have been asked countless times to repeat what i said because i am saying something "wrong" by unintentionally changing the pronunciation of words to use the sounds in my first language. i went through a phase where i was very very depressed and upset that i cannot speak the second language "correctly" even when it sounds perfectly correct to me. i have learned to deal with it and am ok now, especially since i found out it is very normal and expected to happen when someone learns a second language that has sounds that are not in their first language. it is one of many quirks of the human brain.
I like how she still says “hey Google” in her new streams
Am i the only one that is dying from laughter when she just keeps repeating the same fucking sentence lmaooo
That initial "Dame?" melt my heart EVERYTIME!
THIS IS ONE OF THE PURIEST THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN. CRYING.
i feel ya
You are not supposed to cry at this. You are supposed to wonder, because you don't know the reason behind why this happens, why she is not able to not just pronounce, but even hear the word 'google' correctly. Be more curious.
@@Makes_me_wonder Why wonder if you already know? It's adorable though.
Why am I watching this? Why am I loving it?
Is too late for you
there's no way back
You cannot escape it now
Welcome to live streamed anime. You're at the right place.
We got him fam
now she's speaking like a true one year old, "gugu go gu" gugu gaga yes yes
GOO GO
Fairy princess; Guguru! guguru!
so cute.
It's funny because she's so close if she puts them together and just stops before the u.
Edit: Holy shit she did it! She triggered my Google Home mini towards the very end.
Luna: Wait a minute..Google is pronounced "Gugol"? I've been calling it "Gugulu." Why didn't someone tell me?! Oh, I've been making an idiot out of myself!
Somehow i misread "idiot" as "idol" and thought it meant the same xD
She lives in Japan, make sense.
Nonononono, i like it better the other way.
Gugulu sounds way cuter
That part of the stream is the cutest thing ever.
I was just relaxing to this stream and suddenly: Okay, gugulu x10.
Whenever I have time I always join Luna's piano streams. They're so relaxing.
The guy in chat that said "Hello. I'm new here!" must be very confused
Some days Luna saying Gugulu over and over just pops in my head and puts a smile on my face.
2:26
*in national geographic voice *
And here we here the google and Luna doing thier mating call together let's watch these majestic creatures making thier sounds together
Himemori Luna 2: Trapped in the Electric Gugulu
I live for a simple reason: Luna’s angry noises.
I swear, she legit got one of the cutest Hololive voices there is
Haha, she’s so cute
Btw this is the problem when converting English words to Japanese using katakana. It uses a system that should apply to every word instead of analyzing its pronunciation individually.
For example, it sounds better to use instead ゴ (go) instead of グ (gu) twice. Also, it’s better to just omit the ル (ru) sound because it creates an additional sound that was not required in other to replace the sound of the “L” that is missing in Japanese.
So the best way to pronounce it in Japanese would be something like グーゴ (Guugo)
Yet, the official transliteration is グーグル (Guuguru)
Luna: "GUGULU"
GoogleTranslate-sensie: "Google"
Luna: "GUGU"
GoogleTranslate-sensie: "Google!"
Luna: "GUGO"
GoogleTranslate-sensie: "GOOGLE!!!"
Luna: "GU GO!"
Ah yes, the difference of Nihonggo
GuGel
Nihongo
Sensei
I can feel alexa cringing on the background
A baby saying, "Okay GUGU" Noice.
I just repeated this out loud and it activated my phone's Google Assistant.
@@WingedAsarath Lol
THE VIDEO STOPPED FOR ME AND I WAS LIKE "????????"
AND THEN MY GOOGLE ASSISTANT SAID "Colorado. You're welcome"
AND I'M SCREAMING WHY COLORADO
This is literally the most wholesome thing I’ve ever watched and heard with my ear holes
She looks like a fairy type gym leader in Pokémon
This tbh
When her pokemon is about to be knocked out by the challenger 2:28:
Luna-tan really look and sounds like a baby.. Thats too cute
Somehow I find hilarious that you can see Russian comments in the chat almost for the whole duration of the video. Didn't except Luna to be appealing to fellow comrades.
Gulag-u
Mission: eliminate 3 sinner who disliked our hime
Bravo 6 going dark
My google home wouldn't go off until she finally started saying "okey gugo"
this has been stuck in my head for so long I love it
Luna is so cute. She has really been growing on me lately. I'm looking forward to her 3D debut! I'm guessing she will be after Watame.
//Luna repeating gu go 10 times in a row-
“This is the content I crave.”
This is the most adorable thing Ive ever witnessed.
Funny enough, I can say "OK, Gugulu", and it works just fine for me.
Japan doesn't have words that end in consonants except the n sound. So like, even when she hears the English pronunciation, it sounds like "gu go" to her ears. Her brain isn't processing the "L" sound at the end.
Watched this while half asleep. 4 minutes of "gugulu" and "google" is a sweet melody.
My Google Home actually turned on, and responded in Japanese.
My heart can't take this any further...!
The reaction when Luna hears the correct pronunciation.
My life is a lie...
Even to this day, occasionally i keep thinking 'gugulu ja nai'
I love how she tried to change the tone of her voice to see if google would recognized it XD
It's times like this where she wishes she could speak in her natural voice.
natural voice?
The more she say the proper pronunciation, the more it sounds like baby talking...wait
For fuck sake, she activated my google assistant...
Lol me too, 3:30 is actually activated my google assistant
It's been 4 months and we still don't have a Himemori Luna Google Assistant. What you doing, Guguru?
When she said "Hey, Siri" it sound like that she's saying "Hey, Silly".
"Google 2: Electric Googaloo"
I remember when I still haven’t learned english, I always refer to “google” as gugeru it’s always the letter L and R that gets me everytime! i’m a pro at it now tho.
my google home was already screaming at me in the first 10 seconds
It’s actually “グーグル” or Gūguru if you use the Japanese voice for google translate
Japanese is a really restrictive language.
@@jekblom123 It's nowhere near Hawaiian. Mali Kalikimaka, in July!
She’s trying so hard to say Google, this is top tier content
no, this is fine. stop correcting the cute one!
I just noticed the lenght of her neck and now I cant unsee it damnit
This is the best thing ever.
Not just the best Hololive clip.
Not just the best RUclips video.
But the best *ANYTHING* _...EVER._ 😎
This reminds me of when I was in the shop, and I saw a shirt with Wartortle, Charmeleon and Ivysaur on it, and I was like "I love War-or-le", I went full British and said adios to the ts 😔😔
