til japanese is not only influenced by loanwords from tons of different countries, but it's entire modern grammar system is based off of the English and Dutch grammar system, i.e. 代名詞 is literally a translation from the dutch word for pronoun, "Voornaamwoord".

#2 or #4. Probably #2.

代名詞 literally means "substitute noun"
it's just a way to categorize words
japanese grammar itself is clearly nothing like english or dutch grammar
the ideas behind grammatical terms might be similar on the surface, but that's a given
for the record languages will have terms for parts of speech/tenses/verb conjugations that only exist in other languages, seeing as those terms are necessary if you want to talk about the grammar of those other languages

they get down to a fundamental level where you can see exactly how the grammar of the language works

hell just read up on japanese grammar if you're actually into knowing about it
look up particles and inflections then try and tell me those are english or dutch
if the grammar isn't alike how can the "grammar systems" be alike

You can study faster on your own than in a course 99% of the time. That said, having your grade as a consideration can help motivate you or make you hate the language. You might even get excited at the idea of impressing teachers and cute girl classmates with your superior knowledge and helping them with their own studies.

Sorry I guess my wording wasn't great. What I tried to say is that although they didn't completely undermine they're indigenous grammar tradition, it was greatly influenced towards the end of the Tokugawa period when westerners forced relations. The then would-be grammar scholars of Japan tried identifying in the Japanese language newly found European grammar. The previous teachings methods of past grammar scholars Fujitani and Gimon were tossed aside in favor for the new foreign way of looking at things, and Japanese verged down a different path.

Anons is there a correct way to translate Japanese? Sometimes I come across sentences that seem a bit excessive in the wording it uses. Take for example:

ヨーコとジョンがニューヨークの家の前で車を降りて歩いてたとき。。。

Is the correct translation for this "When Yoko and John were walking to their New York home after leaving the car..." ?

I feel like the 前 is kind of excessive because in the rest of the sentence it's said that they're walking by foot to their house, meaning that they're in front/right before it. What's the translation of "車を降りて歩いてたとき" if I'm not right?
>>
>>149879884
While Yoko and John were walking along after getting out of their car in front of their house.
>>
>>149879884
You have some amount of creative control in order to make it not sound retarded. You're free to exercise it, as long as you try to keep to the meaning.
>>
>>149879884
Inst the 前で in this case just.. in front of the house?
>>
>>149880065
see >>149880059
It just sounds like a mouthful when I want to translate every part. He excluded New York, which I believe is vital to the sentence.

>>149880121
Yeah but you wouldn't even need 前で because they're walking to their house, implying they're already in front of it. Unless it was to emphasize it?
>>
>>149879593
I guess you could view it that way, but you have to take into account that at the time Japan had been under complete isolated lockdown and no one but a select few had any information on the outside world. This deeply affected the Japanese language because the people trying to take aspects of English and incorporate them into Japanese had very little idea as how to do so, which in turn lead to little criticism in their methods and they liberally applied grammar definitions from English into their structurally completely different language.
>>
>>149879884
>Is the correct translation for this "When Yoko and John were walking to their New York home after leaving the car..." ?
Nope
>>
>>149879884
Take out the 前 and suddenly they've driven a car into their house.

Every time I see a new kanji in TK I look it up on Jisho, memorize the most common meaning and write it out 20 times. So my study is going kind of slowly and I don't feel like I'm getting much out of the extra time I put in. What do you think anons, should I keep on like I am or just focus on the grammar and worry about kanji later?

In the 20 years that I've been coming to DJT I've learned one thing. Intermediates or advanced anons will tell you that the best way to learn as a beginner is all the current methods that are working for them in their current stage.

It's different as a beginner. There is nothing wrong with going a little slower at the beginning and might even be more beneficial.
But no, I definitely think actually writing it out is going to be a waste of time after a while.

>What do you think anons, should I keep on like I am
Yes.
Momentum and the related progression are like the relatively massive gains a beginner can make with strength training. Consider what you are doing now with Japanese similar to getting your CNS adapted to progressive overload. While it may not seem like much at this moment and everything seems slow, it's not. It's gold and only beginners can really take advantage of that growth period. You have a routine and your study is progressing. Ask questions later.

Whatever you do, don't stop now. Stopping is the death of momentum. Keep going till the road crashes into the ocean and you hit the water so fucking hard you start skimming.

That's the nature of languages. Even J-J dictionaries have a huge amount of "overlap" because a language grows from the inside out as opposed to being created by engineers to be efficient.

I used to do that for a few months while studying kanji

I can't judge how much it impacted my ability to recognize kanji (since I don't know how it is for those who never did any kanji study), but I can tell you that you'll end up forgetting how to write kanji if you ever stop. If you don't care about your writing skill then you might as well study without writing and catch up later, if or when you end up needing it.

Writing will reinforce your memory of the kanji and words since you'll be spending more time on them, but it's up to you to decide if that time is worth it. It's usually a lot of extra time.

Hello /djt/

This is an idea I had yesterday that might be useful for some people.
The idea is to make cards (paper cards) divided in categories : I chose 'particles' ; grammar points ; and kanji. Now kanji can be anything, a verb, a noun, an adjective... think kanji as a vocab card in the most general scope.
You pick (not looking !) a few cards and try to make a sentence with it.
Picture is me trying several sentences. They can be as long as you want to. I tried doing each time 3 kanji cards, 1 grammar point and 1 particle.

Imo this could be more beneficial to an intermediate level than a beginner like me (as shown by the picture).
Obviously if you're only looking to consume media and japanese culture this might not be an interesting system for you.

This can be a fun game.

I thought 好き was the standard in modern Japanese.

Languages have more than one word for the same thing. Because, you know, nuance.
>>
>>149891832
That's an adjective, obviously you're gunna want a verb as well

And even if one word is more common than another, it doesn't make the other archaic, being archaic makes a word archaic

Why did you delete this? 好きis a verb, it's just the 連用形 inflection of 好く
>>
>>149891986
>好き is a adjective. 好む is a verb and is similar in meaning but is used differently
Because it's probably more commonly recognized as an adjective
>>
>>149891986
Then it's not a verb is it, it's a verb acting as a noun/adjective
>>
>>149892003
But that's wrong. At worst, you can classify it as an abstract noun.
>>149892015
It's still a verb, just like "liking" is a verb.
>>
>>149891950
Are you sure or just making stuff up? Any reason why they all start with かがよ / かがや
>>
>>149892023
It's in pretty much every dictionary as a noun and a na-adjective as well
>>
>>149892032
Yes, just like "bent" is in dictionaries as an adjective. It's still "bend".
>>
>>149892023
So do you think "戦い" is a verb?
>>
>>149892050
Yes, but it's also a noun, and also an adverb.

My retention in Anki is fucking attrociouse and I'm really not sure what I can do about it, my mature retention is like 70-80% and I find myself constantly forgetting the readings and meanings of words that I've been seeing over and over again in Anki for months on end, it's like they just never stick

Is there anything I can do to improve my retention or do I just have a shit memory? Don't say read, I already spend 7 hours a day reading/listening
>>
>>149892124
are you using true retention
>>
>>149892124
Are you perhaps """reading""" manga? In that case it's no wonder, as manga isn't reading so of course things won't stick.
>>
>>149892124

>>149892301
With 70% retention you are almost definitely not understanding anything about Urobutchers and Romeos writing nuances. My tip: turn off your text hooker or whatever, and slow down. Read the sentences at a leisurely pace. Let it sink in. Look up words MANUALLY, because they stick better in that case. Reading like this for only 3-4 hours is better than rushing through text for 7.
>>
Will actively watching and listening to an hour of Japanese tv shows every day make my listening improve at a decent level supposing I can't understand a whole lot of natural spoken Japanese at the moment?
>>
>>149892124
If you're reading as much as a you say your are, you might be doing more than 50 a day. If so, you're fine, you'll get it.
>>
>>149892381
You're a meme person
>>
>>149892382
Non of that really applies to me, I've never used a text hooker before, I always just use Jisho and Goo, and I already read leisurely too, it takes me fucking forever to read though shit sometimes
>>
>>149892451
I don't really see why then. Unless you're lying to yourself about any of this which would only really hurt you. The only other explanation is brain damage, but I'm sure it's just you being lazy and a passive rather than an active reader.
>>
>>149891410
The point is to challenge yourself and connect ideas.
Picking particles and words doesn't mean using only those at all. You can add anything you want.
>>
>>149892124
Maybe diversify what you consume? Try reading small articles and papers, watching Japanese shows like varieties or dramas and other things you may not have considered. Pay attention to language that keeps popping up or compels you, not fretting over complete comprehension. Immerse yourself with more content and context and less memorization grinding.

If nothing else, changing what you're consuming now and your approach may jump start something.

Mega has gone full jew, I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE.

I have retried to download stuff so many times now (because this shit is bugged as hell) that I am over my quota of 1,50GB (the file is 300MB).

I'm going insane, tested a couple of websites and both bypassed the limit, but only downloaded the file partially.

What do you guys use to bypass this shit? There is no way I'm installing their tablet-skinned botnet app, that's letting the terrorists win.

No, I tried on Opera and Firefox yesterday, today on Chrome.

Just solved it with JDownloader (and found a Portable version at that), but had to enter a couple of adfly links, not before figuring out how to bypass this shitty anti-adblocker system so I don't give jewtubers any money for monetizing other's softwares.

My head hurts.

>>149893830
Fuck you, those jews wait till the file is 90% download to warn me I need an account (or to install their shit), then I log in, redownload from scratch and it warns me again the file is very big and it would be better to install the program. I click "No, Thanks", have to reset the download and BAM, there goes my bandwidth quota. Somehow they think 300mb is larger than 1GB, too, and that's why I need the jew app.

Putting it in very plain words, you fill in the flourishes in your mind:
[街の人間が] (people of the town)
[全員いた (all of them) のではと思えるほど] (as much/to the extent of I/a person is able to perceive)
[の見送り] (to see them off)
[を後にして、キノ達は酒国した。] (Kino and Hermes, putting the people behind them, departed)

>>
>>149910757
>おではと is short for のではないかと
Do you have anything explaining this? のではと思う のではないかと思う seem different, and the usage of か changes the meaning quite drastically between that of a statement of causation and one of potential alternatives/not being as certain, doesn't it?
>>
>>149911057
I don't have any reference but I'm sure that's how it is. First of all it has to be an abbreviation as のではと by itself is ungrammatical, では can't end a clause like that even when encapsulated by the と. And のではないかと is the most common expansion of that, and it fits perfectly in that sentence so there's no reason to doubt that that's the one.

The か is hard to explain but again it's a common construction that you'll get a feel for eventually, it's there because the farewell was so grand it almost made her question whether the whole town was there (not really, she knew it wasn't the whole town, but that described her feeling about the extent of the farewell).
>>
>>149911516
>as のではと by itself is ungrammatical
と is used for quoting, as part of と思えるほど.
>and it fits perfectly in that sentence so there's no reason to doubt that that's the one
It creates a shift in certainly with is strange considering it is being narrated from a factual, impersonal basis.
>The か is hard to explain but again it's a common construction that you'll get a feel for eventually
のではと思える and のではないかと思える are two different structures with different meanings, which is why I was asking for some form of explanation.

では is like a very soft way of asking a question by framing it as a suggestion. Here in this example I think you can see how the ないか is implied.
>>
>>149911648
Are you misunderstanding the construction ~のではと?
The と here is a particle that takes the whole clause before it and describes a sort of mental state that modifies the verb attached to it, in this case 思える. The "quoting particle" use of it. You're getting that much right, but:
Grammatically speaking, the construction ではと is clearly incomplete. It doesn't make sense as a "statement of causation;" I don't know where you're getting that. There's something missing after the のでは that is being implied here. As the other anon said, it's just an extremely common phrase that's short for のではないか.
>のではと思える and のではないかと思える are two different structures with different meanings
It's best you erased this notion since you've just got it plain wrong. The only difference here is that one structure has the ~ないか implied and the other one has it explicitly written.
>>
>>149911648
>と is used for quoting, as part of と思えるほど.
Did you miss the "even when encapsulated by the と"? I've studied for almost five years, I know what と does.

>のではと思える and のではないかと思える are two different structures with different meanings, which is why I was asking for some form of explanation
No, they have the exact same meaning because the former is an abbreviation, as explained. If not that then the difference is that the former is ungrammatical and doesn't make sense.

>It creates a shift in certainly with is strange considering it is being narrated from a factual, impersonal basis.
Because the original sentence, if not an abbreviation, is meaningless, I don't understand what the original meaning you think it shifts from, is.

>>149912456
look at how a long sentence in english even without any punctuation marks flows naturally into your brain and makes sense with all parts connecting just with the relevant bits and not mixing up with words from the opposite edge that's because you are able to compartmentalize every segment in its own box and mentally store it as context for when you finish reading everything so every piece come together whereas in japanese you are still not used enough to assume which part serves what function and are simply looking for easy clues like what is a verb and what specific particle is placed before it

This kind of tact is acquired after exposure - word order is extremely important in English to establish hierarchy, but your brain is trained to put this puzzle together, isn't it?

In time you will start to have the same kind of "bracketing" approach to concepts, knowing which part of the sentence in Japanese is actually a verb and which is acting as a qualifier of the noun, for instance.

I feel like you're thinking about this too hard. のでは are just particles. Something's got to come after them. When nothing comes after them, it just means the author/speaker thinks the rest doesn't need to be put into words. Your brain fills in the part that's missing.

I hate how I keep mining and mining and this manga never seems to reuse words. Fuck this author.
>>
>>149920662
That looks like someone took a dropper with petrol to my eyes.
What is wrong with your vision which makes that look appealing?

>>149920986
I find a lot of what people typically call "slice of life" manga series tend to have a large amount of words brought up in various topics randomly as it progresses, only to be used once or twice. Yet for some reason a lot of anons claim that they are the easiest things to read. I swear 90+% percent of my time is looking up words as opposed to parsing grammar. 四コマ format seems to throw the most curveballs in this regard, as the format allows for a pretty huge range of topic flexibility contained within each panel set. I remember ゆゆ式 constantly throwing out a whole bunch of words only really ever to be used once.

What are you reading?

マギ

>>149921315
On the plus side it has furigana, making things easier to look up if you can't think of a reading for the kanji used in a word. On the downside, you are abusing spoilers. They aren't surprise boxes, please keep that in mind.
How far are you into マギ? It's pumped out a pretty huge amount of content in the years it has been in serialisation.

So it's my 3rd day of using Anki. I seem to have an easy time remembering the suffixes in counter words but a difficult time remembering the prefixes. I was able to guess a words meaning just by looking at it's card because when I saw 金曜日 and saw 金 I figured "huh, moneyday. Must mean it's friday because payday." and so it was. I made a dumb phrase to remember the kanji's pronunciation and meaning.
"Obiwan KINYOUBI gets paid on friday."

Anyways I seem to be a huge tard and forget either meanings or pronounciations? Should I just keep my nose to the anki grindstone or is there a better way?

Spoiler abuse will get you banned eventually. For a good reason, as they should only be ever used for actual spoilers.

Through the first volume or around 6 volumes into the series?

At the 5th volume. I imagine it has a total of like 25 so far but I don't care enough to check it.

>>149921647
I don't really see the point of having things like weekdays and numbers in anki, those are kind of their own separate thing.
Back when I was chugging through TK my method was to look at a table and review them in my head over the course of a couple days.

Whether or not there's a better way depends entirely on you. It's also important not to forget the language is comprised of more than just vocabulary.
My personal experience with anki led me to quit doing vocab entirely after around a month because remembering words that used kanji I didn't know and that I had no context for was too frustrating.
Instead I just studied kanji individually for a good while. At the same time I watched cartoons, shitposted on DJT, and studied grammar, which kept me afloat with regard to the rest of the language. Then at about 5 or 6 months in I quit anki and started reading more seriously.

Hmm, alright. I'll stick with Anki for now but I'll study more on grammar using the resources from the guide.

>>149922336
Use anki for grammar solidification.

How many words before it becomes hard to find 20 new words a day?
>>
>>149922478
Watching subbed cartoons is better than anki for grammar solidification, speaking from experience

don't let anki eat into the time you spend taking in r e a l japanese
>>
>>149922579
Using the DoJG Anki deck alongside watching subbed cartoons is better than just watching subbed cartoons.
>>
>>149922552
according to my research, it's about 31,020 words before your average japanese speaker will maintain that it is no longer trivial to find 20 new words they don't know over the course of 24 hours

What are you guys reading today?
>>
>>149922633
unless you enjoy doing the DoJG deck i am going to have to hold up that it is superfluous

there isn't a single japanese grammar construction that you can't figure out just by being acquainted enough with its individual parts

how do you make that acquaintance? read and watch cartoons
or buy a book on classical grammar

as it stands the real worth in DoJG is not the dictionary but the little sections they have on individual particles and on how to interpret and break down japanese sentences

>i am going to have to hold up that it is superfluous
So are the Core vocab decks, ultimately. However they are incredibly useful tools. Hopefully one day this retarded minority kneejerk towards incredibly useful grammar resources and the related tools made from them will die out entirely.
>as it stands the real worth in DoJG is not the dictionary but the little sections they have on individual particles and on how to interpret and break down japanese sentences
You mean the stuff in the deck? Okay.

>how do you make that acquaintance? read and watch cartoons

Good stuff. Great advice. See you in another few years while you're still a beginner.

sorry for stepping on your toes

i've seen you parading this heated shit through here at least a couple times over the last year so it's clear that if not an indignant autist then at least you're someone who's spent that amount of time studying the language but

to be frank how can you recommend this fucking tripe

the introductory sections from the books are most definitely not in the deck

it's just a collection of dictionary (!) definitions for small elements of japanese grammar that are intuitive enough already
it's more superfluous than core and deserves at the very least a medal for that achievement

i mean DoJG is as useful a resource as it can be in that someone who's still wet behind the ears can fall back on it if they run into something they can't convince themselves they understand but plugging it into anki for any reason other than to make it easier to search really doesn't make any sense
