I grew up off the grid in Vernon, and I saw my parents work hard every day, as teachers but also while farming and building a log home. So from a young age I knew the value of hard work.

If I go to Japan will I be expected to bathe nude publicly with Japanese people? Also will they stare at me or bully me for being a foreigner? I have never been particularly comfortable being publicly nude.

>>141192346
Yes. It is common for foreigners to avoid bathing entirely during their stay in Japan for that reason, thus leading to the stereotype of 汚い外人

>>141192732
Well I'm staying for forty months so it's not really practical to not bathe at all...

Hi, I'm translating something to improve my japanese and english (not native) and I'm curious about something I'm currently working on.

The context is: someone is reading an erotic tale from a book.

Now, for example this sentence:
> 耳の後ろから　首筋 鎖骨　肩　吾郎の指かゆっくりと綸子の感覚を鋭敏にして
> 吾郎 Gorou
> 綸子 Rinko

I went with:
> From the back of her ear, to the nape of her neck, to the collabone, to the shoulders, Gorou slowly felt Rinko with his finger... making her sensitive...

I have 3 questions:

1. Is the translation accurate? If I got something wrong, what is it (if you can explain why/how, I appreciate)?
2. Does the original sentence looks more like... poetic, or something from a book? I think it's a bit different from dialogues, but only as it doesn't use too many short forms or abrevs... but I'm not sure.
3. How is the english sentence I came up with? Assuming it's from a book, could/should I do it in another way to make it sound like one?

>>141192866
自慢しておく

>>141193213
don't use ... in prose unless the original material does so

Using ... in the middle of a given section of text in english is considered extremely tacky, people only do it at the beginning/end of paragraphs or between them, or in speech/dialogue

A brand new thread is a blank canvas waiting to be painted.
Let's paint something together DJT.

Two questions

>命まで
Is that like "Until you die" or something?

>How do you express "since" in Japanese
Not like causation since but since as in "I haven't been seen him since we were kids"

I'm pretty sure that particular sentence can be expressed with 彼は子供の時から見ない or something like that, but I was just wondering

If I download developer edition will all my settings and addons sync? Also how would I go about updating rikai through dev edition?

>>141196245

Someone posted "who is your ankifu?" with a picture of one of the Core2k image girls a few weeks ago. Sakura autist got triggered by the term and now spams "dekinai ankifu" everywhere.

>>141196391
>If I download developer edition will all my settings and addons sync?
Disable the "run dev edition at the same time as normal firefox" setting and you should automatically be placed in your old firefox profile. If not them enable the profile manager (google about it) and you should be able to select your old profile manually

>>141197756
I wanted to visit Japan my whole life and now I finally have the opportunity. I'm mainly going there for Akihabara and to buy some manga and light novels. After than I plan on living the dream for the rest of my stay.

>>141197579
Is 言つちや supposed to be some weird form of speech?

>>141197818
dun want to start a fight, but visiting for such a reason is trite

there's a whole culture there besides weeb shit pls enjoy

>>141197514
Cell phones may be widespread to the point where there's one per person, but that's not the case with panties, so this lifehack isn't exactly for everyone.

>>141197928
Why is it?

I'm not interested in the pseudo-deep ancient culture, it's a relic of the past. I'm mostly interested in modern anime culture.

Forty months is a while, did you save enough money or is it a job/ school abroad program that's helping?

>>141198082
Japan has a great anime culture, almost all people there are otakus to some degree, I'm talking about the relatively young people of course. The entire nation of Japan celebrates and honors Miyazaki movies like national treasures.
>>141198092
He is probably just jealous.
>>141198288
I have enough of my own money and I'm not really comfortable saying anything else. Why would a school help anyone visit for such a long time?

>>141198064
The only other option I see here, based on the words used, is that the author implies you can call for some panties even if you don't have any yourself, making this trick available for everyone. But that sounds a little ridiculous even in the context of an article about tying panties into imitation ribbons.

>>141198437
I mean i see what you mean, but like i said the sentence seems logically incoherent.

>>141198425
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2FGgYp6mdk

>>141198437
>>141198487
Look at the previous sentence

>>141198425
Do you really want my opinion? I've not stated this before because I dont want to put words into the gook's mouths but anime/manga culture cheapens and misrepresents japanese culture. Esp now that they export "otaku culture" now, people lack the context for why this shit exists in the first place.

>>141198572
Japanese are Espers

>>141198572
So what is Japanese culture then mr expert
Please don't say things that are historical culture but not really relevant to people growing up today besides as an excuse for field trips

>>141198317
Fuck handwriting.

>>141198487
I based this on the assumption that 断言できる is an expression with more to it than 断言＋出来る.
Judging by the hashtag, though, it seems that even as its own expression, it's pretty decisive:
https://twitter.com/hashtag/%E6%96%AD%E8%A8%80%E3%81%A7%E3%81%8D%E3%82%8B

Would someone more knowledgeable throw us a bone here?

>>141198518
I'm not like that and I know Japanese so it's not a very good comparison. But I love Japan too, I guess that's the only similarity we have.
>>141198572
Are you Japanese? I don't see why your opinion matters if that's not the case. I know that Japanese people enjoy anime even more than we westerners do, it's made in their great nation after all.

>>141198681
>Would someone more knowledgeable throw us a bone here?
Sure.
※unleashes the seal on his penis※
『A giant ８０センチ monster makes his presence known.』

>>141198643
I cant claim to know what it is but it certainly isnt anime.

What I can say I would like to do though is:
Stay in a ryokan
Visit a conbini
eat local foods
visit a department store

ofc you'd have to go to the touristy places just because well, from what ive experienced it is worth the sight

>>141198682
Like I said I dont want to speak for the Japanese. Its just my personal opinion and I know it may not represent what Japanese people believe.

>>141198681
desu i think you got it here >>141198437

>>141198795
Okay, why the fuck does your opinion matter then and why do you think I'm interested in hearing a gaijin opinion?

>>141198795
>Stay in a ryokan
Expensive fancy places that normal people don't really stay in
>Visit a conbini
wow what amazing culture
>eat local foods
yeah okay they have some good food but so does every other country
>visit a department store
wow what amazing culture

So yeah anime still winning

What does visiting Japan for "anime" even entail, except buying merch

I'd do that then spend my time with those train cards going through the country, the scenery is really nice.

>>141198818
im just suggesting there's other things to do in Japan, which need not interfere with doing weeb related shit, no need to get defensive

the rant was just me ranting, just gotta get it off my chest, have had this thought for a while

>>141198845
>they have some good
Only if you like eating rotten 犬肉.

>>141198795
>Stay in a ryokan
>Visit a conbini
>eat local foods
>visit a department store
I'm getting trolled

>>141198894
I don't care about the scenery, I'll mainly be walking around with Japanese people in Akihabara and living the anime life.
>>141198900
What other stuff is there? I'm interested, tell me.

>>141198568
Going over this paragraph:
>here are some types of panties which aren't good for making ribbons
>only normal-type panties will do
>unlike cell phones, panties aren't even something that everyone has on hand, so this is a lifehack for everyone!
Is that guy trying to be funny ?

>>141198952
>I'll mainly be walking around with Japanese people in Akihabara and living the anime life.
Alright, you were trolling then.

>>141198894
>>141198952
i think we are getting trolled, that or its /a/ as usual

>>141198977
No, Akihabara is a well known place that embodies the spirit of anime culture, google it.

this is sakura baiting you guys btw

>>141199007
you had a good run m8, i got baited p good had a good laugh.

>>141198952
Not the same guy, but seriously Akihabara isn't even the most interesting part of Tokyo.

Maid cafes are a fun one-time experience that have a big concentration there but there's nothing really unique about Akiba besides that. Taito Gamestation was fun too but the claw machines on the bottom floor are a waste of money. If you like rhythm games you'll like the arcades there.

Other things you could do not in Akiba / the City would be hiking and onsen. You could also go to izakaya and talk to actual japanese people instead of your weeb friends. Have fun anon

>>141199025
If his posts are good enough that people actually feel compelled to argue with him he's improving. This thread has had autistic arguments since long before the spammer came along. So if he stops spamming and starts autistic arguments he's just carrying on the thread tradition.

>>141199029
Sure, I'm happy for you. I'll be sure to visit a konbini and department store for the great cultural insight the provide. Fuck Akihabara.
>>141199056
I'll check out the maid cafes, I'm not really into maids but I guess it will be somewhat anime-like. Any other good places?
I believe I've said earlier that I'm not really interested in going to old Japanese places like Shinto shrines etc, I'm not a religious person.

>>141198799
But both of those posts were me. I rejected the call-for-panties hypothesis because it doesn't make sense logically, and the grammar doesn't seem to support it.
>everyone has a cellphone
>however, panties aren't that widespread
>therefore, pantsu ribbons being a suitable trick for everyone is 断言できる.
If it were the other way around:
>panties aren't that widespread
>however, everyone has a cell phone
>therefore, pantsu ribbons being a suitable trick for everyone is 断言できる.
Plus, the earlier part of the paragraph specifies how you can't just use any type of panties, so ending it with the assertion that it's a trick for everyone to use seems dissonant to the point of being a bad joke or a mistake.

I wish money and not accepting gaijins wasn't a thing, but especially money

>tfw poor and dropped out of school but dream was always living in northern cold Japan

>>141199113
Why would you visit the uninteresting parts of Nihon? Also Japan is very accepting of gaijin if the gaijin love their culture.

>>141199106
>however, panties aren't that widespread
Maybe you should reconsider this translation

I don't think there's any way that it's going to make 100% sense though because the entire article is a joke

>>141199155
I'm not wearing them right now :)

>>141199140
I like chill places (literally), and the landscape looks really cool to me. Sapporo looks like a neat place

>>141199140
this is another example of cheapening their culture, no matter how much they love japan they will bring foreign influence to japan spoiling japan.

>>141199113
>even if you go to japan you won't be able to have sex with your JAVfu because you're a gaijin

>>141199196
Not much anime culture to be seen there. Literally a desolate place with no culture.
>>141199210
I don't bring foreign influence into Japan. I love the land so much and I would never do something like this to Japan.
I would like to become Japanese if I could, but there isn't a safe way to change your race yet, I guess I'll just have to hope that someday science will make it possible.

>>141199276
I want to have sex with my ankifu www not a JAVfu and a できないふ is good too ｗｗ

I did 800 Kanji in that time, and I was going slow as fuck.

Consider using a different method.

>>141210823
Which method did you use? and why is a guy saying it is useless? That's a shitposter?

>>141210977
>That's a shitposter?
You sure got that right.

I was using RTK, then I noticed that I was going slow as fuck with RTK and switched to simply brute forcing Kanji with Anki (knowing the radicals helps with this) and blasted through Kanji doing something between 30 and a hundred on good days. Until I reached about 1800 and burnt out from how much I was doing.

What method works for you is a highly subjective matter, I'd just suggest changing from whatever you are using now and pacing yourself better than I did.

>>141210977
>and why is a guy saying it is useless? That's a shitposter?
Yes. For a few days now, he has been spending seemingly his entire day shitposting in these threads with "kanji study is useless".

Don't bother reporting him, the mods ignore these threads so you'll just be wasting your time. If everyone ignores him, he'll probably get bored before too long and leave.

I mean, that's going to work since you obviously remembered 300 Kanji, but it's really fucking inefficient. Use Anki and try combining that either with RTK or some other mnemonics method, or just brute forcing it with anki

well, good luck learning Japanese then.

Not to say that it's not doable, not at all, it's just going to be a whole lot more of a pain and less convenient than computer-aided study.

Though a smartphone can substitute quite fine for almost everything, including Anki. Just sync your stuff when you have wifi and it'll even be backed up.

I get that this sentence means, "Even though I'm an adult now, a dream I had as a child hasn't changed"

Why do you joke about such matters? We don't even have a stable supply of anime here unlike in your first world countries.

Okay, would anyone explain me the use of
じゃなくなりそうじゃない ???
None of my japanese friends were able to explain correctly, since they can't speak english all that well.
For example, Aじゃなくなりそうじゃない
"I feel like A won't happen?" "I feel like A won't become A?" "I feel like A won't be accomplished?"
Something along those lines maybe?

I like rote repetition better, that's just me though.

>>141213684
I'm doing RTK and Core 2K at the same time. AT the very least, helps me recognize the elements in each kanji so that I have an easier time identifying them.

>>141213755
it really doesn't translate into english without context
even with context, it would be an interpretation

its a double negative that almost sounds like a question 'x wont become, won't it?' but even that's going too far without more information

if you have a complete sentence with じゃなくなりそうじゃない fully conjugated i'd love to hear it

>>141214203

(this is what my friend texted me)

But, to be precise, if you say 「今日サッカーをします」, it would look like it doesn't mean "have a soccer game."

That was actually a joke, I'm not an idiot therefore I don't read ヲタク shit.

I know this is a pretty nooby question but, how do you tell when a な after a verb is the casual negative and when it's just a sentence ending な?

For example, would
気が利くな
Be negative or just emphasized?

>>141221629
Negative + emphasized

>>141221629
you just know dude like i just know that one is always negs

>>141221629
な after the dictionary form, like 利くな is either a negative command, as in "do not", or a particle that indicates emotion. In your example it's the latter. I don't know what you mean by casual negative exactly

>>141221770
negative but like not that serious

>>141221708
>>141221727
Fair enough, I did figure it was that from the context but I figured maybe there would be some other tell tale signs

>>141221770
I meant like casual negative imperative sorry, is there no way to tell whether its being used as a command or a particle other than context though?

>>141221862
Actually it is the negative penile form. Which means it's a casual imperative prohibition with additional emphasis.

>>141221862
>is there no way to tell whether its being used as a command or a particle other than context though?
No, but it usually ends up being pretty clear which one it is. Also, if any other particles precede な, it's always the emotive one, I'm pretty sure.
