It means exactly as it says. Any payment, wins and losses.

A mangan share would be doubled (2000-2000-4000 becomes either 2000-4000-4000 for 10k or 2000-2000-8000 for 12k if the wall cut on the dealer’s side. If you win a hand and have the wall cut in front of you, then it’s like scoring baiman (4000-4000-8000) for 16k.

You can attempt to aim for rons on a certain player because essentially, you’re doubling the value of the hand (ignoring a haneman ron from player A because it could be worth double (sanbaiman equivalent) from player B.)

That should be clear enough.

Given that, it’s not limited to 40fu (50fu for menzen ron) but that’s the basic threshold. 12 minipoints+ Makes you have to learn at least the second point column, and third. (1300 > 2600 > 5200 > 8000 and 1600 > 3200 > 6400 > 8000)

Yeah, I’m well aware this isn’t basic knowledge, hence it’s not in the list but in a comment to it. w
Thank you for reading even though it wasn’t on your native language. While our languages aren’t so different, I can imagine it takes some effort, even if it was on the same language. I’m thinking on translating it to a few more languages, but it already took me a year to do the Spanish version, and I still have to revise it for things I forgot to mention (Pinfu Ron/Pinfu Tsumo scoring, and what happens to the tsumo fu in case of rin shan).

Even though, I find it ironic that “head bump” is alright while “pon” as “bump” isn’t, as the original chinese “peng” does mean bump. I’m not familiar with English terminology (except for the one used in the GameDesign flash game), so I wouldn’t be sure what’s alright and what’s not. I actually thought I saw something like “all bumps” in some English yaku chart somewhere, or I could have imagined it.

I’m not trying to say it’s wrong for say you or me to know what takame, yasume, sannoko or other terms mean. It’s just that a glossary should have a way to separate terms essential to game comprehension, to intermediate knowledge, to advanced language comprehension related to the gaming lexicon. I also trust your knowledge on this, as I’ve browsed your beginner’s guide “The 94 pages of everything a beginner should learn and love about Mahjong” in Spanish, of course, I pretended it was French and just kept reading. (I could still understand 98% of it.)

テンパネとは、加符要素が12符以上あって基本符から2回繰り上がりをすることを指す麻雀用語です。

Which I would translate as, well, what I said up there. Taking advantage of the kiriage (“rounding up”?) of the fu when it becomes 12 instead of 10 to take the hand up a notch or whatnot. I came across this term twice in the same day (in the quiz answers and in the Mahjong Pro Association website) so I decided to throw it in.

If we’re going to be possitive about it, no term needs translation, we could just say “13 orphans… all bumps… three concealed bumps” it’s all translated, really, but knowing terminology means more power to you, IIRC. Yay.

I would say takame and yasume are great and useful terms on their own. How would you go about it? “your best out”? “Your worst out”? Then, I could come from a different region, and ask “what the hell is an ‘out’?”

Also, if you want to understand what the heck the mahjong commentators are saying. In case you do.

まぁ、せやけど、日本語分からへんかったらもっと難しくなんねんでぇ。ええわ。笑
