Hello all.
I've been away from online Japanese language forums for about 5 or 6 years now, although I have a good Japanese textbook, reader, and dictionary library and have continued to study.
From one textbook there is a short article that has information I don't understand.
I'll post it verbatim. The only context given is that it is a self-introduction a student named
王蕾 is giving in a Japanese language class.
『私の名前はオウライです。中国から来ました。オウは王様の王ですが、私は皇族ではありません。ライは花のつぼみという字です。「オウライです」と言うと、よく友達から「発車オーライ」とかかわれます。皆さんも電車に乗るときは、私の名前を読んでください。発車オーライ、結果オーライのオウライです。よろしくお願します。』
Is the 6th sentence--皆さんも電車に乗るときは、私の名前を読んでください--a request that Orai is making to the students in the class to whom she is making her self-introduction, or is it used some other way?
Also, I do understand the associations suggested by 発車 and the homonyms (I think) 往来 andオーライ, but I don't understand why オウライ in the 1st sentence changes to [発車]オーライ in the 5th and 7th sentences. Sentence 7 is an explanation, but I don't understand the explanation.
どうぞよろしく。
