Minsan mahirap mag-isip ng title at feelling mo gamit na gamit na ung gusto mo.
Why not, coconut, try mo i-translate sa ibang wika ang iyong title
try mo dito
http://translate.google.com/#
Example :
English : IN MY HEART
Spanish : En Mi Corazón
Pero dapat ung mejo madaling ma-gets para hindi naman lost in translation
Dapat maganda din ang tono ng translation
Usually, French, Spanish o Italian maganda ang tunog.
As long as "romantic" ang dating ng translation then it would be a good title.
Minsan kasi hindi swak.
For example:
English: Always and Forever
Italian: Sempre e per sempre
Ang bantot di ba?
Pero ito mejo cute
English: Always, my love
Italian: Sempre, il mio amore
Siguraduhing hindi nakakatawa in a bad way ang inyong title like this
English : Always I am yours
Spanish : Siempre soy tuyo
Me mga salita kasing me katumbas sa tagalog or Filipino na mabantot ang dating. ^_^ So be careful.
Wag din ung title na ibang characters ang gamit tulad ng Hindi, Arabic etc. Isasabit ko kayo ng patiwarik. Rumaji or Romanized lagi ang mga letra, okay?
English : I love you
Korean: 당신을 사랑합니다 =======> NOOOOOOOOO!
Romanized: Sarang he
HOW TO USE NAMES :
Using the guy's name:
i.e. BigB Series 1: Yongbae's Song = > Sa story kasi importanteng metaphor ung kanta.
Taking Tank => una it rhymes, second pakipot kasi si boy so iseseduce sha ni girl so "taking"
Behind Daesong's Smile : Shy type kasi si boy at mahilig ngumiti kahit nasasaktan na.
Pwede rin ang word play like this
Jack in the box => kasi Jack ung name ng character
Using the girl's name:
i.e. ELBI LIFE 1 - Natasha
or
Pepper's Rose => malamang mahilig sha dun.
Using both their names:
i.e. STATE U : Lazy Lance and Laude Lillith
Mariel and Robin : The apocalypse (oo bitter ako walang magulo)
How to make "declarative" titles - pautos na titles
Kiss Me
Hold Me
Taken Me in Your Arms
Siguraduhing hindi kalaswaan ang title pero hindi naman boring
Wag ganito
Ibuka Mo Puso Mo
or
It's Cold Tonight
Try not to use words na me image ng lamig or lungkot or negative kasi words like colors can carry an emotion or make us feel a certain feeling
DO NOT IGNORE HUMOR
Minsan kapag funny ang title gusto shang basahin o bilhin ng mga tao.
i.e. My Yummy Kapitbahay
Kahit taglish sha pasok pa rin sa banga.Mahalay ng konti pero hindi naman bastos ang dating. Mejo lang.
GOOD LUCK IN MAKING YOUR NOVEL TITLES. It's the first thing they would read so siguraduhin ninyo Title pa lang, nakakakiliti na.
