Special /int/ FAQ:
>What's the point of this thread?
For learners of Japanese to come and ask questions and shitpost with other learners. Japanese people learning English can come too I guess.
>Why is it here?
The mods moved us here and won't let us go anywhere else.
>Why not use the pre-existing Japanese thread?
The cultures are completely different.
>Go back to /a/
There's the door

Last thread:
>>72493966

>>72554794
It was mostly BRs and a new-zealander who were sperging out here before convincing mods to let their autism be tolerated on the DJT on /jp/, and since a lot of people are straddling both that thread and this one, he probably is one of those autists who made his home on /jp/. I would disregard or filter the BRs and that new-zealander if I were you guys.
>>
>>72555700
I made like 10 threads on /qa/ and spammed Hiro's email to get us /jp/ so you can also disregard and filter leafs.
>>
>>72555700
Hey, fuck you.

There were around 5 BRs during the /a/ wars. After the /jp/ diaspora, 2 remained and the autism was gone. A couple others joined afterwards, no problem.

This one who refuses to write like a human being is very sporadic as he dwells on the /jp/ threads.

As for New Zealand, it's indeed a single faggot who has already admitted to shitposting over /jp/ to "protect the culture", so feel free to block it.
>>
>>72556016
Yet you're still here, so all those arguments about not wanting flags because it's like forced trips and the thing about /int/ being /pol/ 2.0 was bullshit? Colour me surpised. I knew only underaged autists who always get what they want from mommy were the ones complaining to mods leading the today's schism. Seriously kys mate.
>>
Am i the only one who has never been to /jp/'s djt?
>>
I feel bad for treating the American who wanted to go to Japan so badly now. Poor guy was just asking questions.
>>
>>72556094
You're right, some BRs who stayed are fine, but if the /jp/ ones are going to be shitposting all over our DJT, there aren't many solutions.
>>
>>72556217
I wouldn't worry about it. You didn't insult him for no reason, you were just telling him how he was wrong(and an insult, even tho pointless, may be justified because by "belittling japanese" he was more or less belittling the efforts/mental capacity of most/all of us here) which might be useful to him, since having the ilusion or hope of learning japanese "fairly quickly" may turn out to be incredibly frustrating.

Nobody here like /jp/ besides the people that petioned for a /jp/ DJT, yet all of those retards keep lurking here even though they complained and shitposted for a whole month that this place was entirely inadequate for DJT. Fuck them for dividing DJT and fuck them for their hypocritical ways.

I've been reading Yotsuba and some of the colloquialisms have been killing me, in particular this.

あーあいつ用が入ったからこねえって

Is the (あー) just expressing exasperation? With the remaining meaning something along "Because a task (of his) came, he said he can't come." Is that right?
>>
>>72557732
*came up
Yeah i think you got it more or less right(Don't take my word for it tho). If you watch a lot of anime you can just imagine someone voicing stuff like that to get a feeling of what they're saying.
Stuff like こねえって bother me a lot more than あー
>>
>>72557732
>あー
Ah,
>あいつ
that nigga
>用が入ったから
because a task showed up
>こねえ
won't come
>って
quote

あーあいつ「用が入ったからこねえ」って
Oh yeah, she said "Something came up, so I can't go".

Does this help?
>>
>>72557816
>あいつ
that nigga
I'm laughing so hard at this, good job anon
>>
>>72557816
Yeah, thanks. Also is determining what is quoted just through context here? Could it also mean "Something came up, so he said he can't come." ?
>>
>>72557950
I think so. Have more self confidence Anon, you apparently know this.
>>
>>72557950
If she was referring to a third person, yeah, it could work grammatically. The only information being transmitted here is "won't come because of errand", the rest is assumed to be already known by the listener.

But >>72557802 's answer made me think: I can't really tell whether the quote is the whole 「用が入ったからこねえ」 bit as I said or if it's just 「こねえ」. Both could work.

>>72558192
I'm mostly interested in novels and VNs, just thought that Yotsuba would be a good starting point. I'll probably give it a read to get a better feel for colloquialisms anyways, since I'm sure they're across all kinds media (probably less so than manga I hope).

Three questions. Going through the core deck. Word is give. Flash card says a-ge-ru. Girl pronounces it a-ne-ru. Why? This happens on other cards too. Hiragana spells out one word, yet one syllable has an altered pronounciation.

Also should I zoom in my browser when reading Japanese? It's hard to make out what the symbols are.
>>
>>72559429
G is often produced nasally, with an "ng" sound, in Japanese. It's very easy to confuse with the other nasal vowels "n" and "m" for English speakers who aren't used to the language's sounds yet.
>>
>>72559511
I mean nasal consonants, obviously.

月 can be read as つき or げつ
年 can be read as ねん or とし

Is there any rule as to how it is read in words such as current year/every year/last year/next year or should I just memorize every use case? I always get confused on those readings.
>>
>>72561093
つき is for "moon"
げつ/がつ is for month

ねん is for amount of years とし is for a words that have something to do with year such as "older" 年上 (としうえ)
>>
>>72561206
毎月 (まいつき) means 'every month', though

I haven't seen any words using がつ for month yet, oddly enough.

Thanks for the clear up on the years, though. I hope it helps.
>>
>>72561242
Isn't July > しちがつ?
>>
>>72561297
I haven't got to months yet, but it is.
>>
>>72561242
This is almost always the case. exceptions occur when words have changed over time "Every moon" is probably a phrase that is old as fuck and was used when they still used a lunar calender I guess. And so they use つき there.
Need some grammar help.

日本の女は綺麗じゃないでしょう

Can you just say 綺麗ない? when do you place ない after an adjective and when do you just put じゃない after a sentence to negate it? Or is it just a difference in writing/speaking style?
>>
>>72561242
gatsu is the counter for month, so you use gatsu when naming the months
>>
>>72561310
I think months go just [number] [がつ]

January > いちがつ
February > にがつ
etc.

nothing. they both mean the same and you can use whichever one you like

I feel like Google translate is ruining my motivation to learn Japanese a little ;_;
Ever since Google introduced their new "neutral machine translation" algorithms last November, Google translate has been decent enough where I understand a lot of the plot and dialogue of short manga or doujin. Or at least try to guess what's going on from context.

Instead of being complete gibberish like in the past translated Japanese is now more comprehensible.
>>
>>72561417
They can be both used when counting single digits. しち is more commonly used.

>>72561458
That's wrong when counting in multiple digits, なな has to be used.

ななじゅう
ななひゃく
ななせん
ななまん

>>72561461

I actually noticed the reverse. When google introduced the neural machina translation it seems like it seriously crapped the bed.

It was so bad I don't even bother with google translation at all and just go look up the words/grammar being used I'm unfamiliar with.

>>
よそモソを連れ込みやがって
What mean that phase?
>>
>>72561745
It means you get this (You)
>>
>>72561745
よそモン is 余所者, person from a different place, stranger, outsider. 連れ込む is to bring into. やがる is extra verb that makes it sound like you're angry at what someone else is doing.

>よそモソを連れ込みやがって
What are you doing, bringing some stranger in here?
The meaning might be different depending on context.
>>
>>72561855
No. He is meming.

It says 外持つを連れ込みやがって

It's a fucking NTR phrase meaning that the speaker will take the reader's lover to a love/hotel NTR style.

Also when in doubt just act humble. Saying "no" to praise or when someone thanks/apologizes to you is almost always the correct way to react.

it's only a matter of time before AI translation is as good as human. They can already beat us in chess.
>>
>>72562416
You'd basically need human level AI for this to happen. Especially with context heavy language like Japanese.

The translation AI basically has to know what the words mean and what the grammar implies. And on top of that know what the story is about to actually use the correct contextual meaning for it.

Chinese is a hell of a lot easier to translate due to heavier use of kanji and being a slightly less contextual language.

For things like English->spanish/german/dutch though I am fairly sure that we will have 100% correct translation within 10 years. I have siblings that don't speak a word English but browse the entire internet with google translate English->Dutch and I wouldn't even notice it was computer translated if I didn't know any better.
>>
>>72562416
Sorry, but that simply won't be possible. The amount of context and implications, multiple meanings, etc. is something only a human would be able to infer, 聞く being a prime example.
>>
>>72562658

We're getting closer than you know. Look up word2vec, essentially you get a program to cram words into a highly multiple dimensional vector space and learn the connections between them allowing you to do vector operations on words for some interesting results. The typical example I've seen given is "King" - "Man" + "Woman" = "Queen" to give you a simple idea. The context of sentences themselves could be supplied as more dimensions in the vector space to help with highly context dependent words like 聞く. If humans can guess what 聞く means depending on the context then that means there are clues embedded in the surrounding the text that show what it means. You could run very simple statistical analyses and probably guess right 60% of the time just based on how often certain words show up near each meaning.
>>
>>72562416
I think you mean go, they've been beating us in chess for decades. I remember learning about AI some years back and being taught that computers would never be able to beat humans at go, that it was impossible because the depth of possibilities was simply too vast. How times have changed.
>>
>>72562820
This is already sorta what google translate does right now and it actually resulted in a less coherent translation.

I agree though eventually it's going to be cracked but look at >>72561745

This is almost a perfect example of japanese versatility. The first part of the sentence is written in hiragana and katakana meaning it can have a wide range of possible kanji there. Then it uses a word (連れ込(み)) with a wide range of different and really specific meanings.

This sentence could mean a lot of things as you can see by the guy that tried to translate it.

Yet if you know the context of this being 4chan and the amount of meme/jokes/trolls then you see what it's very likely to mean.

The translation AI doesn't just get a book or financial reports that have a fuckload of text. It would also get to translate individual sentences like that without context. Parts of spoken conversation where the context isn't understood without visual ques as well such as in visual novels/manga.

The method you propose is good to figure out things where all information is already available in the text provided. This is almost always not the case in Japanese. Most of the information is based on visual ques, preceding events or "common sense". Things which could realistically only be cracked by a human-level AI.

You say kanji exists to give meaning to words and shit but then how do you explain people talking to each other and understanding perfectly what they're saying?

No matter how it is written, it will sound the same when spoken, so why can't only hiragana and katakana be used in text when it will sound the same when spoken as if written with kanji thrown in as well?

ソニアちゃんは暴の嫁です
>>
>>72570095
If you think Japanese can just talk to each other without problems you are wrong.

Almost every (possibly even every) word is a homonym in Japanese. This means that you need an insane amount of context to even know what the word means that the person is saying.

Just look at Japanese TV. Screen is always filled with text with kanji as subtitles to show what word is meant.

Japanese people are even forced to have a different vocabulary when speaking because they use words that are easily recognized and not quickly confused even if there is a better word they know that they could use but could be misinterpreted. In written accounts of Japanese you don't have this limitation so you see far more sophisticated language being used. That's also one way to quickly hear difference between native and non-native speakers. Non-natives tend to use wording that is primarily only used in written Japanese and spoken Japanese interchangeably.

Basically the Japanese really fucked up the language by having such a small sample of distinguishable sounds in it. The Kanji was a coincidental blessing for more complex storytelling and deeper reasoning.

Go play a Pokemon game that is entirely kana written and notice how it picks deliberate words just to avoid confusing people.

AをBから隠す - To hide A from B.
から here means "from".

感じ used like that basically means something like "in this/that manner". For instance, if someone asks you how to do something, you could show them and say こんな感じだ to mean "like this". That would be the same 感じ as the one that sentence.

僕 This is a kanji that little children learn to write when they are 4 and when they get older they start to write 私 (which is less complex)

僕 is a grade 8 kanji. I don't know if you are the same Netherlander that has been posting in this thread, but many of your posts are wrong. いく/ゆく has nothing to do with gender, and I think you are seeing memes where there are none in >>72561994, judging by the Russian's response.

I'm the iku guy yes. I don't know about the other stuff. Apparently I was trolled hard in another thread because a nip flag poster said boku kanji was learned in first grade and I took his word for it. Why would I even spread such blatant misinformation if it's so easily refuted? Also I always just use iku and usually see more masculine characters in manga use iku so I assumed it had some tone of masculinity to it but I admitted that my experience was limited and I was unsure. Why do Englishteachers bully me senpai?

Hi, I'd like to ask you what is the meaning of "込む" I know it may be used like this 押し込む to add the "in" meaning but I have seen a lot more different ways of using 込む and I dont really understand them. Would you please explain it to me and give me some examples of using it in the sentences.

水 kinda reminds me of a waterfall

Well just for the sake of clarity:

http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/225173/meaning/m0u/%E3%82%86%E3%81%8F/
>[補説]「いく」の語形も上代からみられ、平安時代以降は「ゆく」と併用される。「ゆく」「いく」はほとんど意味は同じであるが、古くは「ゆく」のほうがより広く使われ、特に訓点資料・和歌(「生く」との掛け詞の場合を除き)では、ほとんどすべてが「ゆく」である。現在では「ゆく」に比べて「いく」のほうが話し言葉的な感じをもち、したがって、「過ぎ行く」「散り行く」など、文章語的な語の場合には「ゆく」となるのが普通である。
The word form "いく" has been seen since ancient times, and has been used interchangeably with "ゆく" since the Heian period. Although "ゆく" and "いく" are virtually identical in meaning, "ゆく" was more widely used in the past, and especially in annotated Chinese texts and Waka poetry (with the exception of plays on the word "生く") it appears as "ゆく" almost exclusively. Today, "いく" is more common as a word used in everyday speech, while, accordingly, "ゆく" is more common in the case of literary terms such as "過ぎ行く" or "散り行く".

Question:

もしかしてこちらに引っ越してこられた方ですか?

Is the こられた the causative past form of 来る? Idk if it can be potential, but it makes more sense to be the causative. And the てくる here is just a direction supplement indicating its moving towards the speaker (or moving here not away)? I think "Are you the person that is moving here?" is the right translation, but I could be wrong.

How difficult is it to read うみねこのなく頃に?
Since it's about witches and since it's set in the 1980's, I'm assuming it may have some obsolete grammar. I've also heard that the epitaph is written in classical/old(?) Japanese. What should I know before I begin reading it?

Also, does it have any difficult vocabulary?

r07 tries to execute grammatical gymnastics to be an epic mystery writer on a regular basis but in the end all he manages to do is construct a literally impossible web of objective statements that completely ruins the point he was trying to convey with the story.

Does の get dropped much in casual situations as a descriptor?

For instance, 日本のワイン becoming 日本ワイン?

I know you don't use の for adjectives so I wondered if it gets dropped more generally in some circumstances.

>>72590623
の can be dropped in contexts where dropping it is not redundant and does not sour linguistic rhythm.

>>72590431
>>72590497

Grids are better for me because the visual accommodation helps

>>72590818
Not only that, but you don't keep wondering where the fuck is wu, wi, we, si, or why shi has a single kana while sha is a combo.

Seeing them in random strings makes it hard to visualize as an organized system, and this is one of the feel things in Japanese that actually have some tidy organization going on.

If you are looking to transition into being able to write kanji from memory based on words/readings, the below spreadsheet has a list of words/compounds for the kanji in Remember the Kanji.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oNardpT6EWwxdm-xGtQ0jIw_8_2ySDaVWe83QiYeU5M/pubhtml
It wouldn't be hard to use your RTK writing ability and whatever vocab you've been studying, to convert or create a writing deck based on RTK keywords in a hint field with vocab on the front which you have already matured, so they are already known well enough, and have the kanji replaced with kana in the reading.
For example, the word 有名 is mature in your vocab deck and in the production kanji deck you could have
>Front:
_名
ゆうめい
>Back:
「有」名
ゆうめい

JDIC Audio Extraction Tool

「Download the JDIC Audio Extraction Tool via MediaFile (source code is included)
http://www.mediafire.com/?4put7vdf2luo9j9

To use:
1) From Anki, export your words deck as facts only to a .txt file.
2) Open JDIC Audio Extractor, fill in all of the fields, click OK.
You can edit in.txt if you don't want to manually fill in the fields each time.

I also didn't like how mplayer (the media player included with Anki) often times doesn’t play small files to completion. So I wrote a media player that DOES play small files to completion (well, actually I just modified the "contest" example program that comes with the Bass audio library).

Download bassplayer 2.1 via MediaFile (requires Windows; source code is included)
http://www.mediafire.com/?26yn7mdy55buhpj

Place bassplayer.exe and bass.dll in the Anki install folder (you should see mplayer.exe there). Then just download and edit Anki's Custom Media Player 2 plugin to use bassplayer instead of mplayer. 」

SEMI-quickly is 100/cards a day? What speedrunning world do you hail from, where you can manage that amount of reviews consistently? (after 2 weeks it would be in the range of 1000 reviews, daily, if you barely got any wrong AND have to learn 100 more.

Or did you mean 2k, which is much more reasonable?

Also, it's not necessary to know every single word when reading. You can infer a lot just from context, or just plain not understand a bunch. That's okay too, as long as you pick up something along the way you're making progress. Things can always be re-read later when you're more advanced.
>>
>>72595200
Do the math, if the finishing date is fine with you, go ahead.

My goal was 6000 in less than a year, so I had to do 20.
But learning 2k words (and about 1000 kanji) is a good measure for a first semester, most people well over a year to do that in language courses.
>>
>>72595200
That's basically what I did at first, but then I pushed myself to 25. Go at your own pace, but try as best as you can to cram as many kanji as you can into a day.

I do 50 new a day minimum but I have a decent amount of free time at work. I only said 100 as an example because I assumed some anki drone autist would say 50 is easy mode and they do 200 new a day.

At my current level however, I do find it a lot easier to read manga than light novels. With visual included it is easier to infer meanings of phrases that I don't easily understand

I'm the other monkey, but oops.

10 kanji a day is too little, unless there is some vocabulary study on the side.

Should take at best one semester to learn all joyo kanji if you're focusing solely on individual kanji study.
>>
>>72595632
Manga also typically have less narration and far more spoken dialogue, which goes a long way to making something more easily understood.

The more close you approach "serious books", typically the more difficult it becomes.

manga -> LN -> VN -> genre novel -> literary novel
Of course there are exceptions everywhere, depending on specific genre / how ambitious any given author is.

Are you referring to his Patreon backer only phonetics lessons? My understanding of Patreon is not great but his page has a $10 per month pledge which those particular videos are locked behind, so I'm thinking that you could pledge the $10 to access all of those videos, rip all of those videos then revoke your monthly pledge.
This is apparently how you can revoke your pledge:
https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204606205-How-do-I-delete-my-pledge-
Since the content is a monthly pledge system and not a pay per post type arrangement, it should be possible to pay, access the content and save it, then remove your payment so you aren't actually charged.

We already discussed this way back when we were on /a/. The general consensus was that anything we needed to talk about we just did here, in the thread. Further, it would create yet another group for people to talk in called /djt/ when we already have 2 and not enough non-shitposting discussion to warrant that.

It's been argued before on /qa/, I believe.
I don't think getting back on /a/ is possible, they already solidified the rule that these threads should be posted on /int/ or /jp/. /djt/ is no longer allowed on /a/ because it's off topic, which makes no sense since the buyfag and panda threads are still being posted on there.

>>
>>72602720
It doesn't matter how many resources you get, the ones we have are already enough to get you through the first 2 weeks of learning, after which you'll promptly quit or start doing RTK or some other dumb shit (until you quit in 3 months).

Then you'll just sit here and shitpost using your limited knowledge of Japanese and Rikkai to respond in English to Japanese posts.

I don't think we need more people.
>>
>>72602664
That's how this threads even started, and that's also why we managed to get so many resources for learning in the first place.

This place thrives on people that are genuinely interested in learning the language, so they can help each other out.

Less traffic = Less active threads = Less support = People getting frustrated and giving up because they struggle to make any progress.
>>
>>72602721
Press browse then choose the deck on the side, click on 'cards' beside 'field'. A window opens and you can flip.

You gotta edit it a bit though.

I also sometimes take cards I know the kanji of well and edit them to be flipped.

Do you still use training wheels? Just because the threads started out of bustling activity does mean it needs the same sort of activity, does it? To me it is akin to starting a car from a stationary position and now we've reached cruising speed on an open highway, in that there is no need to drop down to a lower gear with more revs.
>and that's also why we managed to get so many resources for learning in the first place.
Which resources?

>Less traffic = Less active threads = Less support = People getting frustrated and giving up because they struggle to make any progress.
Maybe, not I'm not really sold on that concept. It's just as easy to questions to go repeatedly ignored in a faster pace thread full of loud anons who routinely engage in 70+ post arguments about what they perceive as incorrect English translations.

The process of learning a language is much more complex than the analogy you are presenting. In this case, the open highway would only be equivalent to achieving fluency in the language, which needless to say isn't the case for most people here, even for those who have been studying for a couple years. Before you get to that point, it's completely normal to have questions, which can be answered by more experienced people.

>Which resources?
By resources I mean the guide which, as simple as it may be, it is really helpful for people who are just getting started, and better than most "helpful" posts you will find on other sites. Also, of course, the CoR, which makes the process of finding material to read and practice much easier.

>Maybe, not I'm not really sold on that concept.
That's just from what I've gathered from browsing this threads for a while now. Even if some questions may get lost between the shitposting, if there are more people browsing the thread it's just more likely that at least one of them will read your question and care enough to give a serious answer.

That analogy was about these threads, not language learning. Must not have made it very clear, sorry about that.
