Do you think Japanese is some kind of fucking game?

RTK creates a strategy that revolved around trying to learn Japanese kanji without seeing them in context. Reading interesting and fun VNs make learning Japanese more fun and compelling, but memorising 1000+ kanji by themselves is not particularly fun or interactive.

Imouto wasn't asking for context, he just likes to comment on questions instead of asking them. Not to blame him because for the level of most questions here an explanation in Japanese wouldn't be too useful anyways.

Core 0k-10k
Core 06k
Core 10k-06k
What is with that? Would that not just be repeated cards?

2 more choices to go. Please end soon

>>133705874
First of all, that's you not getting the core decks, not anki
Second of all, just get Core2k/6k in the OP and you're fine.

>>133705874
Just get the one in the guide. It's 6k words hence core6k.

>>133705971
Shoulda read something tried and tested.

>>133706090
I actually chose this one because it wasn't tried and tested. Even if I misinterpret a line it doesn't matter because the game isn't so hot anyway.

Well, there's about a 10% chance the game goes off the fucking rails right now and is hardcore pure linear political drama (it has the opportunity right now) but as it stands it's a bad game with a high vocab level that I don't mind stomping through, even if it's kinda boring.

>>133706054
Downloading it now. And I mean the options for Anki. They are incomprehensible to me, even after reading the FAQ on their website.
>>133706085
Alright, so the 10k-6k deck is 6k-10 reversed?

>>133706160
Unless you're a NEET you probably won't ever make it through all the well-liked titles, so you don't really have to worry about running out of things. I'd go for things by good authors that aren't considered to be one of the best things by that author (Damekoi over WA2, steampunk series starting with the early ones, kazoku keikaku over cross channel, etc) before turning to random new stuff.

But of course its also fun to read something while it's still being talked about.

>>133706542
>Everytime something is popular it's because of the sex scenes instead the plot
wat

>>133705971
I don't know about that VN, but I was doing something similar with Flyable Heart. I was getting close to the final choice and I thought it was almost over, but I was wrong. The last choice is only the end of the common route, since none of the character routes have choices. Just a word of warning that that technique isn't reliable, but it is certainly better than nothing.

>>133706357
As it happens, Innocent Bullet is by the author who did Silverio Vendetta, Vermilion and Zero Infinity -Devil of Maxwell- so that's pretty much what I did. He's also working on Maggot Baits which I'm interested in.

The game isn't, like, awful random shit. The image I posted should be a good indication that it's not pure garbage and has some good lines. It's just kinda boring, due in no small part to my own ineptitude extending the whole experience. If I could knock this out in day or two I would doubtlessly like the game more than I do.

>>133706578
I am pretty sure that this is similar to the game Shapeshifter, in that it has a common route full of story, and then at the end of that has branching routes that don't have anything to do with the main story. If it's like that then I won't worry, because it'll turn into easy mode moege that I can finish in a single session.

>>133712723
Never ever ever stop studying. No matter how busy. Get into groove of studying 30 minutes MINIMUM a day, no matter what. This is not optional. You have to study every day. In the beginning kanji, grammar, and vocab will bleed through through your ears like water if you don't expose yourself to Japanese every single day. You have to study it EVERY day. You don't need to be aggressive (though 35 in 2 weeks isn't too aggressive). You need to be consistent. You're not going to learn Japanese in a month. Nor 3 months. Nor 6 months. Nor 12 months. You're going to be studying for YEARS. So get used to daily study, get used to daily accumulation. If you can drive that through your head, you can learn Japanese. If not, you'll keep taking breaks, keep forgetting stuff, make no progress, and give up. Don't let that happen. Fucking do the work. Study. Learn Japanese.

In the first panel, 「したという事はだ」, what does the はだ mean here? I've seen it in a few other places and thought it was a typo the first time I encountered it. Googling it seems to make it come up as という事はだ or variations thereof, but no definitions. There are definitions for と言うことは (https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%A8%E8%A8%80%E3%81%86%E3%81%93%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AF-579244), but can it be used with だ directly after it like that?

It means 'get back from where you came'. In other words, get the fuck out of here, you're got nothing to do here, etc...
The general translation (but my english is shit) would be:
From there, only hard ones allowed. If you can't stay in shape, you've got nothing to do here.

>>133716449
I think she (he?) just put the subject at the end for emphasis (and you have to imagine a koma after 'ichikoro de'). More easily understood if read aloud.

Why nearly all the Nihongonomori teachers do grammar lessons speaking in japanese? At least put some english subtitles jesus.

>>133716567

>先生や女子生徒のみんなには悪いけど自分にとって彼女たちは余録みたいなものだ

Context is an eromanga. A national law passed, so all the women in this school have to submit to sex until they're pregnant. This line is the narration after a teacher gets happily gang banged by all her students, but I don't understand it. In the next scene the protagonist has sex with the student council president and says how she was the one he was always after.

That makes sense, because on the next page the protagonist says "my real objective was to impregnate you, student council president!" He was the one that got the law implemented at this school in the first place. He wanted to fuck her, but all the other girls were a bonus.

Thanks, that helps a lot!

Not him, but as far as I know it's set after the anime. I've wanted to play it, but knowing it will probably be some cheap fanservice and lowbrow humor that will never live up to the anime puts me off a bit.

>>133716794

concerning my previous post there:
>>133716919
After I saw the pic and also found other nuances for this word, I have a possible other explication: as 'bonus',余禄　also implies 'something not necessary', they might also be simply 'worthless'. That would also explain the way he treats them, like cumdumps.
I wonder what one of the japanese people who sometimes come here would think it means.

Are you sure? I can't find a Japanese or English definition that supports this.

I've recently been doing 5-10 cards then doing something else like reading a VN or Manga then going back for the next cards. I think by doing this I've gotten better at retention rather than doing Anki for straight 30+ mins which feels like a fucking chore to get through.

What is your Anki routine, /djt/?

>>133717384
Surely you can focus on anki for more than one minute at at ime

>馬鹿と鋏は使いよう
>Like blunt scissors, even idiots have uses

So I came across this idiom, but why is it は使いよう and not には or も or something? Isn't just は gramatically incorrect? Though it should have がある or something on the end too I suppose.

>>133717379

>>133717549
Okay I'm a retard who doesn't know much but I know from watching anime somehow that the second part means "Tomorrow is fine too". Sorry I couldn't put it in words more explicitly but I figured it would be a more substantial response than "read more".

>>133717453
There are a lot others, and this one with an english translation too by the way:
https://ja.glosbe.com/ja/en/%E4%BD%99%E7%A6%84

I have more difficulties to understand the reason for the 'rumor' translation. Maybe it means 'additional story/statement to an original one' （余計な記録？）... But in this case it doesn't work, anyways.

Which 2ch boards do you guys frequent?

>>133717549
It's だって　that is often used at the beginning or sentences, and it has the same meaning as demo, even if it's a childish way of speaking. I think you might be mixing both.

>>133717640
None.

>>133717700
Why not?

>>133717608
Ok, I got it now. I thought でも means "but", was not aware of its other meaning.

>>133717664
でも is also used in the beginning of sentences to men 'but'.

>>133717608
It can also be used as 'even' in the sense of

>子供でもできるよ、そんなもん。
Even a kid could do that.

>>133717622
It seems like there's a kanji mix-up going on here. 余禄 vs 余録, but both have the same reading. 余禄 means additional gain and 余録 means an unofficial record (「余得」に同じ、すなわち余分の利得) or rumor (正規の記録からもれた記録, according to goo.)

The problem is that the example the guy posted used 余録, which seems to only mean unofficial record/rumor. Although that weblio page also lists 余録 as meaning "意外の収入。或は利益。又は質屋のことを云ふ。", which is both written kind of old-fashioned and also listed as 隠語, which I don't quite know what that is other than the apparent meaning of secret lingo.

I have no idea at this point. By the way, are you a native speaker?

>>133717814
Wait fuck, I messed that up. I meant to put "(「余得」に同じ、すなわち余分の利得) " after "additional gain".

Both are not a proper way to start a sentence, でも even far less than だって that on top of all is hard to use in the middle of one with the same meaning as でも.
It's only だってthat has that particular use nearly restricted to children who are trying to bargain.
Of course you can start with でも if you absolutely want to. But it's totally like starting your sentence with 'But'.

That's just about avoiding using those words at all, it has nothing to do with which part of the sentence you place them in or any grammar rule. I seriously doubt people in Japan care much if you put your でもs in the beginning, middle or end of a period.

Why does Japan hate innovation so much?

Japan left to its own devices:

Japan with competition from Europe:
>make car

I don't know about that. It seems to me like Europeans and Anglos are constantly tweaking things to make them better as though it were just the natural thing to do.

Maybe it's something bred into our mindsets from Europe basically being one big warzone for most of its history.

>>133719533
>>this looks pretty cool, let's just stick with this for the next millennia
It's all they could actually make with the steel they had. The internal structure of a katana makes up for the absolute garbage quality of the iron used to make it.

They also couldn't make good enough armor to obsolete non-sword infantry weapons. So, yeah. There you go.

Yes? You just have to be consistent in your romanizations. It's either "hyouban no taishou" or "hyōban no taishō". Though you it's probably okay to leave words with an established romanized name untouched, e.g. "Tokyo de hyouban no taishou" and "Tokyo de hyōban no taishō".

>>133721041
Just a note, it's most common to use accent marks in works for a general audience because the "ou" form is misleading to people who aren't familiar with Japanese romanization conventions. They'll pronounce it like the ou in in "out" or "tour".

>>133721266

No it fucking isn't. -おう as in 交番 is pronounced with the long "o" sound, as in "boat", but extended for two syllable lengths. That's why -おう, -おお, and -おー are phonetically (and often grammatically) interchangeable.

>>133721784
>>133721791
I mean the pronunciation. None of the listed readings add up to tabun.

>>133721784
>>133721791
I never thought about this before. I figured it was ateji or something.

>>133721817
Look at the yomi.
タ
ブン

>>133721817
Whats? 多's onyomi is た and 分's onyomi is ぶん.

I guess he can't even read katakana

Ohhhhhh. I never learned that. I thought those were more Kanji but I couldn't find anything on them on the site.

Yes

>>133721888
Don't.

Are you retarded or merely pretending?

Tour rhymes with poor.

Is there a male equivalent to the お嬢様 laugh?

>>133721908
No, tour rhymes with sewer

>Doesn't know of a single pleb for whom the "ou" convention is misleading.

>>133721599
The u sound isn't articulated. It's a continuation of the final sound of the preceding syllable, at least in standard dialect.

>>133721898
Holy shit anon, what the fuck are you doing?

4chan was invented by America. GTFO

It's generally not, but it is in verb endings. You say あ・ら・そ・う not あらそー.

>>Doesn't know of a single pleb for whom the "ou" convention is misleading.
>romaji
>>Is mislead by the "ou" convention.
Nice awful dialect you have there.
>The u sound isn't articulated.
In "conservative" speech like singing the u at the end of a verb is always articulated, even if an o is before it.

I thought katakana was only used for English words so I started core2k as soon as I finished hiragana

>>133722017
There's just a convention in the west of writing chinese readings in katakana.

>>133722017
Well go back and learn them not so you don't come off as a retard again in the future.

>>133722048

this is your brain on DJT folks

>>133722061
Because they're foreign loanwords.

>>133722017
Katakana is also used for stressed words, and in books to write the onyomi of kanji

>>133722017
Well I got good news for you: your Japanese is about to take a massive step up in ability.

>>133722061
To distinguish them from the kunyomi easily, since the latter get written in hiragana

>>133722061
Because that makes it easier to differentiate between kun and on readings

>You say あ・ら・そ・う not あらそー.
you literally wrote the same thing twice, you fuck-nugget. う is totally interchangeable with ー, at least in katakana which is the only place you'd see it used like that. What you've done is like saying that cat is pronounced differently to caT.

>>133722048
There's nothing western about it. Go to any online Japanese dictionary and it will be written the same way. onyomi in katakana and kunyomi in hiragana.

Sshh, it's a beginner's lie

Holy shit this is a new one

at times like this I wish we still had that anon creating collages of all the dumb shit people say in DJT

>>133722209
Thanks for the cute image cutie.

>>133722167
no he's right, study more

>>133722167
I don't think you're following me anon.

NORMALLY, when a you have an お followed by a う you pronounce it like an extended お, BUT there's an EXCEPTION in the case of verbs that end in おう like あらそう. In those cases you pronounced the う like an actual う.

I advice using your rikai to listen to the words 問う and 塔 so you can see the difference. Notice how the う on 問う is clearly pronounced while 塔 sounds the exact same as とお.

>>133721991
You know that weird accent gaijin anime characters always have? One of the causes of that is over-articulation of ending vowel sounds. In Tokyo dialect, あらそう and あらそー are virtually indistinguishable unless the speaker is intentionally trying to sound pompous.

>>133722010
>In "conservative" speech like singing the u at the end of a verb is always articulated, even if an o is before it.
We're not talking about singing, and pronunciation while singing has no bearing on pronunciation during normal speech.

>>133721651
I knew this word for years, before I even started learning Japanese. I learned to write it as 幸せ which is the normal way to do it, and for some reason I spent years without realizing its origin, which is made clear when you write it as 仕合わせ.

>>133722248
No, he's a fuck-nugget, just like you.

Maybe you're mistaking inflection for a pronunciation difference?

>>133722289
Oh, you're just braindead.

>>133722443
oh right

>>133722425
Say what you want, but articulating おう verbs as an elongated お is the way that's the "wrong" way. The gaijin accent you refer to only has a problem of this kind in terms of overarticulating something that is already normally articulated.

>>133722425
>In Tokyo dialect
In tokyo vernacular*

Which is not standard japanese by the way. You're also wrong: it's not an elongated お. You're hearing it wrong.
