Heiwa was the word I learned. I hadn’t heard Antai until today, but it’s pretty common for Japanese to have multiple pronuciations depending on local vs Chinese pronunciations.
I understand that you’re being mean out of frustration because your entire country is still suffering from that throat disease you call a language, so I’ll let these little jabs slide, but it’s not a healthy way to deal with it. Best wishes from Denmark🤗🥔🥔
If you can’t practice all these spellings, saying the 3 words (phonetically) “Fred patch myoor” seem to be the easiest to phonetically encompass all of these. You’ll sound like an idiot and mispronounce it, but if you were to be trying to surrender to an authority, it would (probably) be sufficient.
Of course the English have the longest spelling. Why write “paz” or “pau” or “pís” when you can add two more letters? Even French did not fuck it up as much.
Use Friede and you already save one letter though it might carry religious overtones. Writing Fride might be ambiguous in spelling but as there’s no “Fridde” it’s not actually a problem. In any case the root is “Fried” (and yes belfries might have gotten their name from there) and you can be sure both Frieden and Friede are pronounced like that somewhere (over here it’s Friedn and Friede), and as German spelling doesn’t (officially) use apostrophes all over the place when spelling out contractions and everything writing Frid would be highly non-standard, but you’d definitely get away with it in a poem. Just don’t show it to someone who studied Germanistik auf Lehramt.
