    I would like a single word translated please: INDESTRUCTABLE


    国際交流パーティー - Tokyo International Party

    I would like help with the translation of a single word please. The word is: INDESTRUCTABLE. I believe that the following is a very close translation and means IMMORTALITY: 不滅

    Is there, however, a specific word that mean INDESTRUCTABLE though.

    Thank you for any help you can give.

    不滅 is very close. The second character means destroy or overthrow, the first negates it. The other option is 不変 which means unchanging or immutable. Take your pick.

    I don't know Japanese, but the word in English is "indestructible". That's probably why you couldn't find it in the dictionary.

    What's the word for pointlessly replying to a thread that has been dead for eight years?

    There must be something wonky with the server, or does this old thread with 4 replies (2 up until recently) really have over 2700 views?

    不可思議ですね! 
    で、回答ですがINDESTRUCTABLE は”破壊できない”とか、”不滅の”ですね!lol

    で、確認ですがその和訳「不滅」についてはOP自身が最 初から提供済み、「不滅」の妥当性については stephenmundayさんが直後の返信で検証済み、 さらにもうひとつ付け加えるとINDESTRUCTABLE が INDESTRUCTIBLE のtypoであることはJakarehさんが指摘済みですね!lol
