Just saying, things might not be going that well if they're bringing out signs.
For those who don't yet understand Japanese, what are the apes(?) saying?
They’re just making ape noises (hou). The mother bear is saying “ara ara” (kind of like a mother softly saying “uh oh” to hush her child).
Yeaaaaah, that's not how the internet knows mommies saying "ara ara"
Degens must really struggle to understand wholesome parenthood.
Transliterated, the apes(?) are saying "hou hou hou". It is a Japanese onomatopoeia for literal monkey noises represented in Japanese Katakana.
I was curious about a possible meaning myself and did not feel like waiting, so I took a crack at it.
ホ - katakana for syllable ho
ウ - katakana for syllable u
Since katakana can be used for onomatopoeia, it might just be an ape sounding noise? Certainly fits the context.
