AUTO BASE = オート・ベース

high performance import engine parts:

katakana : コウセイノウユニュウエンジンパーツ < very unnatural. hard on the Japanese eye.

Natural Japanese: 高性能輸入エンジンパーツ

thank you Nagoyankee.. appreciated..


is that AUTOBASE translation in natural japanese or in katakana?

Nagoyankee 08-20-2008 03:18 AM

It's both in katakana and natural Japanese. I took it that it was a proper noun. So I didn't 'translate' it. I just transliterated it into katakana as we would transliterate proper nouns like 'Burger King' or 'Pizza Hut' into katakana.

Please ge back if 'AUTO BASE' isn't meant to be a proper noun.

That's in katakana, but that is how it is said in Japanese.

EDIT: We posted at the same time!

Thank you both of you..

AUTO BASE is a BUSINESS NAME..

AUTO which stands for Automobile
and BASE which stands for WHERE THE COMPANY IS LOCATED..

You have helped me enourmously.. :)
