The proper way to say it is "How the tables have turned." However there's a meme from The Office where the doofus of the show screwed up the saying to, "How the turntables." This actually makes more sense because even within the phrase the tables turned and changed places with turn.
@@Nowolf Yes Subaru seems to enjoy reading and reacting to comments from her fans which is nice. I love that about her! :) A lot of youtubers don't care about what their fans have to say. And it's nice to feel like I can help Subaru sometimes and make her smile or laugh. 😁
Eh. I'm on the fence. Subaru was legitimately trying to learn English phrases the whole stream. Throwing a meme at her with a wrong pronunciation would just confuse her later. People might think she is asking how to turn a table. I honestly believe if Reine didn't jump in to correct her, Kiara would have continued to beat the dead horse and possibly may not have told her the truth. It's kind of rude and given that Kiara has had to work hard to be trilingual, she should know better. Inb4 "LoL it's Jork".
@@CaptanF0rever This was my take on it as well. Yes yes Kiara was just teasing her and trying to get her to meme, but if you step back from that, Subaru is legitimately trying to get better at English to communicate with her English speaking audience and hololive members. Confusing her like this just impedes her learning.
Not necessarily an Office reference at this point. It was originally from the Office, but most people learn it from the internet via various sources. I myself thought it was a niche joke from a fandom I'm in until I found out it was from the Office. The question is, is Kiara American enough and old enough to have heard it from the Office itself or did she hear it second-hand like most of us?
@@jase276 It's not really claiming. It's like if you heard something from a news channel and told it to your friend. You're referencing the news channel and the news channel referenced something else, say, the government. The person isn't referencing the government there, at least not directly. If there's a meme I heard from Fandom B and it came from Fandom A, I'm referencing Fandom B. It originally came from A, and if I need to cite where it came from it would be A, but my association with it is B. It's the same for anything else. You could be referencing a book, but the original source is a play by Shakespeare. Or you could be referencing Shakespeare, but the original is from somewhere else. Maybe there's a better way to call what I'm talking about, but as far as I'm concerned that's referencing. It's not referencing in the same way as a research paper, but referencing nonetheless.
Tfw Subaru remembered it as "stable" because Kiara said "turnstable" instead of "turntables". Forcefully shutting Reine down made it even harder to understand lol
I always thought it was goofy how American comics imitate Japanese oji-sans speaking English with their accent, but Subaru kind of sounds like the impression lol.
Subaru: the exchange student Kiara: the one who wants to play a prank on the exchange student Reine: the straight-laced friend who doesn't get the prank and was just trying to be correct And it's funnier since not one of them is actually English or American.
I think it comes from the idea of losing a chess match, and then "turning the table" to switch sides. The phrase has become so cliche, that we sarcastically say "how the turntables" to both reference the situation, and poke fun at and refresh the original phrase. It's actually quite efficient as a high context joke.
It's from the office, and a common meme too. Reine knows it but she corrects it for Subaru because she is still learning English. Kiara understands and leaves it as just messing around.
@@oyoo3323 one of Kiara's favorite show is the office. Reine probably knows it from memes without knowing the actual reference, but she knows that there is a proper way to say it. But you're right, Kiara probably didn't think much of it when telling this phrase to Subaru, it's just a common phrase, but she does know where it comes from. But it could be confusing if someone who is still learning knows the slang first rather than the original, so reine correct it. Kiara understands that explaining would be hard, so she just leaves it as messing around. Well, the office is such a mainstream show so I'm not surprised if Reine knows it too, but she never talks about it so I don't know.
Kiara went full bird brain here It's pretty easy to explain this... The original saying is "oh how the tables have turned" as in how the roles have reversed in a situation But the meme saying is "oh how the turns tabled" reversing the words like the situation the phrase was for
She's most likely trying to do an Office reference. Sadly, her collab partners only know the line through memes. That is why she was so adamant when Reine is trying to give the correct line, but gave up halfway in because it's hard to explain a Western show reference using a language so far off from the original one.
@@eddardblackhart6305 and maybe because Subaru is still learning English. You need to know the proper way first before you're using the slang version, so yeah not a big deal. Well, Kiara understands, and she leaves it at messing around rather than get too deep on it.
Kiara gave up on pushing the meme onto Subaru likely because 1. Subaru's understanding of the language isn't strong enough to get the explanation of the joke in the limited amount of time they between rounds and 2. She didn't want to impede on Subaru's English development and confuse her.
It doesn't make sense without knowing the context of "How the turntables" because Michael Scott stops the sentence midway, realizing what he is saying is stupid. Of course the turntables have turned, that's what they do. That's why it's important to understand the original "the tables have turned" first, meaning your position at the table is now on the other side and the person at the head isn't anymore.
That is a 2 layer hard-to-explain joke there. Not only they are not English speakers, but they didn't watch The Office as well. Need to explain the saying "How the table have turned" is hard enough, then need to explain why it changed to "How the turn tables" is another level hard.
Make it extra hard when English is Kiara's weakest language. She needs a full-on Wiki page just to explain this joke and at that point, the meme would already lost its charm
A chicken, a turkey and a duck trying to communicate. Delish- I mean beautiful. Only heard of "how the tables have turned" tho. Is it that common to say it like "how the turntables", or whatever they were saying? I am super confused.

Subaru's genuine effort to speak English and learn English phrases is so inspiring. Keep the turntables turning, Shuba!!!
Well she did study abroad in Canada so surely she knows some very basic English (on top of what is taught in Japanese schools).

Self explanatory, umu.
I was about to ask why Kiara said it that way, was really confused there for a sec. Thanks for the info!

The japanese equivalent would be 「形勢が逆転する」"the situation is reversed”
That captures the basic meaning, but none of the sense of irony.
We purposely taught her wrong, as a joke.
I really wanna to say "it's flipping the situation from worse to good or vice versa"
the "oh how the turntables" actually came from The Office first cuz michael effed up the phrase "oh how the tables have turned" lollll
I'm more of a "Let's put the table over the cards" but sure, has a nice ring to it.
Excellent, Subaru
How the tables turn.
"How the turn tables."
Understandable.
hey subaru if you see this
the original is "how the table turns" and the meme version is "how the turntables"
it means the hunter has become the prey

Every time I question some of the girls, they pull these top quality memes and I'm like "how could I doubt their power?".
When Kiara started going "NO! NO! NO! NO!", I thought that she was Pekora.
She was being a comedian in that moment, so that wasn't an inaccurate thought 😁
Kiara should take less from The Office and more from Archer with "Idioms, right, got it."
She mean "Oh how the table's turn"? XD
