Yes, "alterna" is a Spanish word xDD I think it's "alternate" in english

[AyuHamasaki01]

Yeah, I can imagine

[Raiu-Ayu]

I think ayu just made the word up or else used it to make her own meaning of it

[AyuHamasaki01]

anyone has a spanish-english or english-spanish dictionary???

[alt.total-loser]

^ Yes. But it has spider eggs in it. Should I go kill them?

Edit: o__o;

alternate adj. alterno

We can count that as alterna, right?

yes, "alterno" is the adjective while "alterna" is the 3º person verbal form of the verb alternar (to alternate) or the adjective in femenin... so it means He/She/it alternates or well simply alternate

more or less xD

By the way, now looking at the word "alterna" is the first time i think it's a very strange word O_o xD

taiwan avex's official translation of the name "alterna" is 選擇, which has the same meaning as CHOICE/ALTERNATIVE in english.

I think the name is just supposed to sound "futuristic"

[Corybobory]

I think it's a neologism.

I agree. I doubt it's a word she picked out of some dictionary...

Though, It does seem like its supposed to mean 'alternate/alternative' or 'something different that what we see'

Well, that does make sense: Something different then what we see

I mean, look at the lyrics and the PV

[AyuHamasaki01]

maybe we should ask Ayu to write a "future-language" (the new engrish!)(haha, of course I'm just joking)
