Just finished jintai vol. 2. Kinda wish I could erase my memories of the anime so I can enjoy the pure unadulterated crack that is the source material

> (something) なんて どうしてくれるんですか？

Should I think of this as a simple "why?" or more like "What are you going to do about it? (to me)" because of the -kureru?

>>142514789
doesn't it depend on the context? it could mean "why are you giving me this?" or "why are you doing this to me?"

>>142515085
>"why are you doing this to me?"
*"why are you doing this for me"

>>142515085
There's no point trying to help someone who's so retarded that he doesn't know how to post a whole sentence

Test your comprehension of some live commentary!

https://youtu.be/icyYH2_lDZ8?t=2191

>>142515085
But the point was just about the -kureru, not the (something), which could be anything.

Because if it was a simple "why (something)" they could just say どうして(something) right?

So the "why (something) to/for me" makes more sense, thanks!

>>142513439
Aside from the vocabulary at least the structure is fairly simple.

>The actual meaning of
That sentence could be interpreted more ways than that. The "that" in this question could refer to many different things. いつになれ does not necessarily refer to a time but can relate to a process.
I don't know why you are posting "translations" as though they are the only way a sentence with extremely limited context can be understood. Even >>142515824 can end up making sense if the actual context of the statement was referenced. In the same way that
>"I wonder when I'll be able to say [that]?"
can be translated into Japanese in more ways than
>僕はいつになれば言えるのかな

Language is not a static event and context is vital for meaning. It doesn't exist in a vacuum.

>>142515996
how would you know without context

>>142515897
I can imagine context in which that would be correct, but I have to say that's reading way too much into it, when the original poster of the sentence didn't provide any relevant context.

Or you're simply misuderstanding it.

It's time to decide this once and for all.

> 君ーまた彼奴の弱みでも知っちゃったの？
> んー むちろ色々教えてあげたのかな…

I'm trying to make it sound good/nice in english, so I'm trying to put the word "learn" in the 1st sentence to fit better with the むちろ in the 2nd.
But I think I'm getting some engrish here:

"You... did you learn some dirty again on him?"
"Hm, actually I might've teached him a lot..."

or scrap the learn/teach and go/get?

"You... did you get another dirty on him?"
"Hm, actually I might've gave him a lot..."

I think both 1st sentences aren't "english"...
Or any other suggestions are welcome!

>>142518012
I really hope you don't think you know English.

>>142518298
Fuck you, I know English better than you are.

>>142518298
I don't think, that's why I'm asking.

How do I change the interval between decks, in Anki, from daily to twice daily?

I wanted to get started with learning moon runes
My college doesn't offer japanese so i took chinese instead
I figured that i would at least be able to derive context when i read japanese and i can work out pronunciation later
Do you think this is a bad move DJT?

>>142518868
No, it's certainly a big help if you get familiar with radicals and kanji.

>>142518846
you mean the amount of the new cards each day? If so, click the options to the right of the deck and change the new cards value

>新シリーズの主人公である掟anonさんは
一日ごとにすべてを忘れてしまうkei-taiですが、~cont

what is this line supposed to mean? anyway i changed the name

>>142518012
Okay, I don't know enough jap to sort that out, but I know enough English to help a bit.

You're looking for dirt. Not dirty.
Dirty is an adjective. Dirt is a noun.
Just looking at the sentence in English, it should be more like:
"You... Did you get some more dirt on him?"
For something more colorful or maybe more appropriate:
"Did you dig up more dirt on him?"
From what I can tell, that lines up well enough with the original sentence.

You don't teached. You taught.
I can't really make out that second sentence as easily as the first though. Try posting some context.

Again, my Japanese is shit. I am an English (American) native, but I'm not very good at writing. I mostly just read.

>>142519590
The new series' protagonist anon forgets everything each day.

>>142519709
thanks

>>142519648
Context is almost non-existent, character just says that out of nowhere after seeing two other characters acting unusually clingy.

"Did you get another dirt of his?"
"No, actually, I might've slipped some of mine..."

I'm thinking in going with this, how does it sound?

>>142518868
Unless you have to take a language, it is a stupid move. Huge waste of time and effort.

>>142518846
You don't, you add more cards if you want to review more, instead of reviewing the same cards more often.

http://www.gwern.net/Spaced%20repetition

>>142518868
It's pointless. You'd have been much better off just doing RTK.

>>142519916
Is it a novel? If not, a picture would help.
That's still not correct English.
I can't tell you exactly since my school never had much of an English course, but I would say that dirt is a plural and another is used with singular nouns. This doesn't necessarily mean more than one secret in the way you're trying to use it, so it would still be appropriate.
If you're willing to drop the "dirt" part, you could say:
"Are you learning more of his secrets?"
"No. Actually, I might have let slip some of my own..."
Though it's a bit of a mouthful.

Hmm I was trying to leave dirt, the original is "weakness" but from the dialogue it's the sorta thing she'd blackmail with, that's why I tried that word.

I just finished the page, here's how it looks currently (I fixed the another thing you mentioned, many thanks!)

>>142520643
>I might've slipped some of mine

>>142518846
Add a new six hour step, or something.

>>142520731
Hmm, would "I might've slipped some of my own..." be correct or do I have to change it to "I might've let slip some..."?

>>142520731
>>142520643
>>142521029

Yeah, you'll want to go with "let slip some of my own."
I'd also recommend lowering the font size by a point or two, the first few bubbles seem pretty crowded. Feel free to experiment with some fonts to see what feels best. That's just my own personal preference though, and you can ignore it.

It's a thing in many countries for mid-high level positions.
I have this in my work contract, personally

>>142525919
Not him (the guy who explained stuff before) but my guess for the literal translation is:

(I am) (when) (can become) (able to say) (I wonder)

The thing that might've confused people before is the なれば refering to the context (僕), so it would be
"I wonder when I can become able to say..."
Then you remove the engrish for
"I wonder when will I be able to say..."

>>142523713

>>142526002
Don't the better contracts for mid level positions at least get you a flat to move with your family to?

>>142526314
>(I am) (when) (can become) (able to say) (I wonder)
This almost strikes me as an English sentence order.

Usually, when you see the expression "to become something", "something" is marked as an object/target and comes before なる.

How do we identify that 言える is the object of the verb なれば?

>>142527052
it isn't
いつ is the target of なれば

>>142527159
いえるの is what the speaker is becoming, though. Right?

>>142527382
The speaker isn't becoming anything いつになれば could be taken out of the rest of the sentence and it would still mean "At what point"

Too late, already DLed it, going to read it.

Well they always suggest me to read more but I'm frankly tired of reading the same stuff over and over (mostly shounen and hentai stuff, so I feel my vocab is limited to "it's so tight!" and "I'm going to win this time!") so I'm looking for new stuff that I might enjoy reading.

I only hope my moonskill is good enough to enjoy it.

I'm scared senpai. I'm not even out of Tae Kim's essential grammar section and my head is spinning.

If I never watched the S&W anime, should I still read the novels or is the anime better?

>>142533348

The only way to improve your grammar is to read, since by improving grammar you really mean training your reading comprehension. You won't have amazing reading comprehension after finishing just Genki I, since it's all basic stuff, fabricated and targeted at your level.
Tae Kim probably doesn't cover significantly more than Genki does, since both assume you're starting from zero, but his guide is much shorter and to the point which is why it is recommended often.

Not familiar with that channel (or probably any others that people will mention). If you think it's worth adding to the resources, then go ahead and add it with a short description of what it's about.

I'm not the guide maintainer, by the way. I just figured that section could do with expanding. I'm sure there are some good video resources out there but up until now the guide hasn't contained any (the two in that screenshot were just yesterday).

There was a video series someone mentioned maybe a few weeks ago but I can't remember the name of it. It was available on rutracker and supposedly covered the same sort of material as Genki so that would probably be worth adding if anyone knows what it's called.

Fuckin around with namasensei's lessons right now, it's encouraging how many phrases blasted into my mind from anime I've been able to figure out just from watching like 5 of these videos. It's actually.. fun.
the fun ends here, doesn't it?

So if I say 'kono hito wa dare desuka' is it a rude form of asking who is that, or is it neutral? Or dependent on tone?

This line has been bugging me for a bit but anyone have an idea what they're trying to say

ダルいエンギんとプアなシャシーのアメ車をミッションでわざわざ速く走らせようとしてる恋人よ

first of all I'm not quite sure if it's supposed to be a lancia or a mustang, and if it's supposed to have a dull engine/poor chassis and still be fast, or if its mission was to outstrip such american cars.

So, I'm trying to set up the Core Anki vocabulary deck, as specified in the guide, but the referenced "collection.media" folder doesn't appear to exist anywhere in my Anki folder.

I know the images are optional, but still.

>>142538963
My guess (which I hope someone will surely correct if I'm wrong) is:

"That's an odd one with the sole mission of quickly dispatching american cars with dull engines and poor chassis"

The verb 走らせる might have a different meaning in the context, like you said, to "outstrip" such americans cars. To find about it usually you google the verb and look on weeblio and other japanese dics to see how these words are used.

Translations will vary based on how you hover over the characters. It will combine the phrases automatically based on what you think the beginning of the word is.

It will translate individual words and phrases for you and provide a list of possible meanings. But you'll still need to rely heavily on context to know if it's correct.With that in mind, it does a decent job of converting kana to kanji and vice versa.

tl;dr
It helps.

Remembering the kana is solid.

>>142548203
I used basically the same method but from some website. Honestly it doesn't matter how you learn the kana as long as you do. And don't skip out on katakana like so many other retards.

Anki is user friendly in that it allows those of any degree of competency use the program in a highly flexible manner: those who read the manual or watch the tutorial videos should be fully able to make simple flashcards of various formats and get a lot out of reviewing the things/facts they are studying and towards the other end of the spectrum, those with an awareness of HTML, CSS, javascript, etc. can create content for themselves in a highly dynamic and personal manner.

Another aspect of this friendliness is that entire decks can be organised via text files and spreadsheets in a way that allows the user to make consistently large decks external to the program with relative ease and import the work to generate their desired outcome. This flexibility can equate to an agnostic approach to content formulation as the final design demands essentially boil down to an even and generic format layout that can be achieved using multiple programs on essentially any operating environment. Anki doesn't care whether your cards are the product of text saved or imported from a range of applications, just so long as it is encoded in UTF-8 and arranged in a tab spaced textual manner.

Anki is a bit like a slut who is willing to spread for anyone with the minimum requirement that you have something that is capable of plunging her clunge, which in practice really means rudimentary cylindrical shaped object. It has absolutely no self respect.

They can be embedded, though. Good for making sure it appears the same across systems. Also good for たまごっち画面。

People don't use 2chan and 2ch like anons use 4chan. They have many boards and don't hide themselves away in a single thread on a single board for years at a time.

>>142548816
They're missing out. Sitting in one thread all the time is the best.

If not even the most compelling content can motivate me to study Japanese, what should I do? There are also no chances that I'll be going to Japan in the next 10-25 years(assuming I survive that long).

The only motivation I have for learning Japanese is that I like it sounds, that I mostly consume Japanese media, and that I don't want to be a monolingual cuck(though I have a native language other than English which is not good enough for me to consider as knowing the language).

Am I hopeless? Currently I know all the Hirigana and Katagana but not many Kanjis and have yet to really seriously dedicate any time and work into grammar.

Then don't. I wouldn't learn Japanese either if LN/VN didn't appeal to me, but I want to read them more than anything else so here I am.

Just set your smartphone to japanese, that way you'll have to deal with the language regardless if you actually want to or not at the moment, it will also force you to learn kanji in order to actually understand what you're reading instead of just guessing

Also shitposting in japanese whenever you can helps, chances are some gay faggot acting all high and mighty will correct you

Is there a way these squiggly lines are supposed to be pronounced? I see them all the time in doujins, is it just supposed to be a long repeat of whatever the last vowel that character said is?

There is only one motivation worth caring about. Do you want to learn Japanese?

If you do, do your reps. If you don't, don't. You can have all the aspirations in the world, but if you wake up and think "man, this is a waste of time", you'll never learn Japanese. Every day is another step towards fluency. Read whatever you want, watch whatever you want, and you'll make it.

Mm I figured it would be one of those cases
