Daily Japanese Thread DJT #1838

DJT is dead...half the threads just die now, we need a solution or else we'll simply stop existing.

The thread number also shouldn't increment if the thread died, since the last thread was an incomplete edition. It truly triggers my autism.

watashi wa biki ja nai desu

>>73299246
the only solution to "revive" them would be to merge with /jp DJT. but i doubt anyone would want that

What does this ね signify? What meaning does it add to the verb 殺る?

>>73300723
殺さぬ→殺さねば
殺さない→殺さなければ

>>73301201
Sorry, I guess this is やる:
やらぬ→やらねば

>>73301255
Wow
I thought やらぬ=やらなければ
ねば being a negative form is totally news for me.

ない and ぬ are separate auxiliary verbs with separate conjugations.

MZ (な) なかろ
RY (に・ず) なく
SS (ず) ない
RT ぬ ない
IZ ね なけれ
MR (ざれ) x

>>73299246
Is this what the threads are like without meme spam and lengthy, zaney off topic arguments, death by the relative obscurity of being [more] on topic? (笑)

It's my fault, I usually wake up at 11:30 (Brazil Time) to do some Anki and bump the thread first thing after sitting on the PC, but I've been waking up later this week. Last post on past thread was around 10:30, I could have saved it.
ごめんなぞい。

If you have any ideas for revitalization, though, that'd be nice. I should get back to making that chart.

Has anyone completed the DOJG Anki deck? I just got done with basic and my reading accuracy has improved drastically. Just wondering where I can expect to be after finishing the whole deck

I should have said tangentially related, sorry about that. It was related to the なければならない construct.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Renyoukei, is in fact, Ren youkei, or as I’ve recently taken to romanize it, Ren'youkei. Renyoukei is not an accurate transliteration itself, but rather another ambiguous take on a fully functioning romanization system made useful by the Hepburn, modified Hepburn and vital kana knowledge comprising a 1:1 romanization as defined by ISO.
Many Japanese learners use a modified version of the Hepburn system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Hepburn which is widely used today is often called “Romaji”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Hepburn system, developed by the James Curtis Hepburn. There really is Romaji, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Romaji is the concept: the alphabet in the system that allocates the language’s sounds to the other glyphs that you know. The alphabet is an essential part of a transliteration, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete transliteration system. Romaji is normally used in combination with the Hepburn transliteration system: the whole system is basically Hepburn with Romaji added, or Hepburn/Romaji. All the so-called “Romaji” writers are really distributions of Hepburn/Romaji.

Hello - I accidently posted this in the wrong thread before.
I'm desperate to find out what this could mean - any help would be appreciated.

Just a bit stubborn and wanted to create a collection for learners with a focus on cute girls doing cute things, as these magazines tend to focus on. It would also act as a more focused branch of the CoR, if and when it is all done and I let the CoR maintainer know about it. Realistically it has more connection with /a/ than /int/ but since this thread isn't on /a/, I decided to post it here. There is /jp/ but they seem to equate Japanese media with visual novels.
The largest hurdle to overcome is completing the back catalouge. As these magazines tend to be monthly, they only end up having a small amount of tanks published a year and that it really easy and cheap to keep up to date.

To be honest I was kind of spurred on by anons like you who responded positively to some of the series I was ripping and dumping a short while back that got me thinking maybe other anons would take interest in manga where they otherwise may not have and develop a reading habit. I like manga. It makes learning Japanese play instead of work. People work too hard and play too little.

>I hope you're not into doujin music as well.
Can't afford to be, lossless music is too heavy on Australian bandwidth 笑う

>>73299246
DJT needs to attract more posters. The current userbase is mostly static and the fact that this is a former /a/ thread at edition 1838 doesn't help. Personally, I would be fine with changing the name to something else, like a generic "Japanese learning thread", but I don't know what other anons think.

I always advertise DJT over 55chan (when the subject of learning Japanese comes up), since there are lots of BR weebs wanting to learn it, but I think no one has ever actually showed up.

Apparently it is 大阪弁 for 面白くなく

>>73310316
A lot of people get angry and disappointed over at the /jp/ DJT because they're questions are mocked and derided by the autists over there. Sadly, the autists have the mod in their pocket and when you try to redirect people to the /int/ DJT, they report your post and it gets promptly deleted. This is too bad, because a lot of beginners aren't aware that there is a DJT here too, and that it's way more helpful than the one on /jp/. We would have to find a way to funnel the people here to save them from those assholes tarnishing DJT's good name.

>>73311772
Their*

What does おらんのか mean?

>>73311772
I disagree, because ostensibly, those beginners found the thread from browsing /jp/. If we want to attract more posters we should be focusing on our own board, otherwise you're basically saying that DJT doesn't belong in /int/ which is a separate issue altogether.

Also, I lurk /jp/ sometimes because the anon who manages the DJT site posts updates there. I think you should at least respect his opinion and keep it in mind before saying that the /jp/ thread tarnishes DJT's name.

>>73312088

Yes.

Actually a lot of them were /a/ DJT browsers who stumble upon the /jp/ DJT thinking it simply stopped existing after it left /a/.

You can learn Japanese.

Reminder: Anki with the Core pack by itself sucks shit. You won't get anywhere with it alone, but supplement it with reading where you see words in context and also build your own decks and you'll be a winner.

What do you mean?

I have a few questions I wanted to ask.

1. I downloaded the .txt 詰め合わせ and all I'm getting is gibberish, can someone confirm for me that the file is corrupt or am I just a mouth breathing retard who's fucking something up on my end of the line.

2. More importantly. I've been at this for around two years, have an N2 and can read normal text well but haven't managed to break into actual literature. Are there any recommendations for getting through this plateau between regular modern writing and what I suppose is narrative style writing or is it just time to buckle down? Any good anki decks or other resources would be appreciated as well?

>>73315566
Nah, it will only begin to look like a motivational graph after you're done with Core2k. The beginning is all red.

>>73316014
You might be, but anything you learn won't hurt you, though i agree time could be spent somewhere else more efficiently. However, if you have fun with anki i don't think it's a mistake.

>>73315790
>Link plox.

It's in the cornucopia of resources. in the 小説 Section. I don't know how often they update it but I remember downloading some files from there that worked last year.

I really
REALLY fucking hate using Anki

I don't know why I'm so retarded but it's just frustrating and I'm slowly losing interest in actually learning

But I found WaniKani was actually enjoyable to use.

Am I learning nip wrong if I don't use Anki?

>>73316404
Go away, croc-head.

Nah, you are only learning it wrong if you stop reviewing shit while you are still not advanced.
And even learning it wrong is better than stopping to learn altogether.

辞書形 is just another word for 終止形, since the 終止形 is the form the verb will appear in a dictionary under.

テ形 is the te-form, which is actually made up of the 連用形 plus the auxiliary verb て. In 五段 verbs (u-verbs) and other words, the 連用形 often goes through a sound change before た or て so this isn't always obvious. Example: 書く→書き→書きて→書いて (き becomes い, which is called イ音便).

推量形, the volitional form, is made up of the 未然形 plus the volitional auxiliary verb う or よう. A sound change also occurs for the 未然形 of 五段 verbs in this form because of changes in how the おう sound was written over time.

Question: is Arial Unicode MS still relevant/necessary?
I just formatted a Win7 and it doesn't include it, so I'm guessing it either comes via some service pack or was dropped. Is it present in Win8 and 10?

I still use a backed up version I have from Windows XP SP2, although the few modified joyo kanji from 2005 look fine in this version.

Or has another Unicode font replaced it?

>>73317772
Meiryo is part of the OS by default from Windows 7 onwards, which handles Japanese fine. Arial Unicode MS isn't necessary for Japanese unless you really like that font.

>>73299246
Time to merge with the Japanese thread

Can you just say そうだ or must it be だそうです?

>>73318187
I like it for the versatility. It can include Chink, Nip, Boris and Jew shit all in one convenient font.

When setting up my browser font, for instance, I had to put Meiryo in my recently-formatted PC in order to read Japanese properly, but now I don't know which font it's going to display other languages in. Arial Unicode MS kinda guaranteed a final solution, from English to Hebrew, and I could rest at ease.

I also have no idea how the OS handles all this locally, for filenames and whatnot. Does it use several fonts combined?

(I do like Arial, it's the best font for Roman characters).

>>73318313
Turns out that Microsoft didn't want to pay the license fee to Monotype, who made the font. Apparently you can get it with Microsoft Office but not system wide.
The version 1.01 font is called arialuni.ttf
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?fmid=1081

It isn't cheap for a license but you can probably find it for free online.
Yes, Microsoft are stingy cunts for not paying for this license any more.

脱退以降の大森の顛末には思うところのある方も、本作のクオリティに再び目を向けてほしいと願っています。

Anyone wanna take a crack at this sentence? The context is an album a review, particularly a solo project from a member of a popular Japanese band. 大森 is the artist, and he left a popular Japanese band (which is what the 脱退以降 is referring to).

"... I implore them to shift their attention once more to the quality of this album."

That's the second half, but I can't put together what's going on in the first half, or at least, the relative clause attached to 方 (which I am assuming to be person here).

>>73318544
I took 方 to be ほう、not かた here, as the reviewer is also taking into considering the circumstances after leaving 大森.
(I don't really know)

>>73318683

lol thanks for making an attempt. I started with ほう as well, but the 2nd half of the makes much more sense if it's 方も is referring to people.

I think the answer lies here

But I'm not confident either.

How do you decide when to press again, hard, or good in the DoJG Anki deck?

Does Kanji get easier to write the more you progress through learning the language?

>>73321151
Kanji gets easier to write the more you write

>>73321060
Which version are you using? The version with the close cards make it pretty easy: you either get the concept right or you don't. For the standard review cards, I read through the entry and hit good, using the deck simply as a review of the grammar to aid reading.

>>73321151
Kanji gets piss easy to write after going through something like RTK. You don't even have to know anything about Japanese with a system like that.

I sometimes see normal japanese words written out in katakana.
Is katakana used as capslock-shouting or bold+underscore sometimes?

>>73321858
Yes. They might also choose to do it because the kanji is not very widely used and because there is too much hiragana attached to the word, so writing in katakana instead of hiragana makes reading a bit clearer. Which wouldn't be necessary if they put the kanji in the first place.

>>73318544

It has finally been answered for us

right now, I'm reading yotsuba and while I do manage to get by, I have to look up a ton of stuff (not rarely multiple words per page).
Is it a realistic goal to aim for n3 this december? Is it achievable?
I've been studying for about a year now and will probably proceed at a similar pace.

>>73325092
I think it is easily possible, especially if you have already had a year of some exposure

>>73325169
easily? That would be amazing.
I mean, the gap between n4 and n3 is greater than between n3 and n2, no?
if n3 was easily achievable, you think even n2 might be manageable if I dedicate more time to my studies?

>>73325274
I think the gap between n2 and n3 is larger than n3 and n4.

It depends on you basically. I've been studying for just under 2 years, and have been pretty slack for majority of it but I don't find the n2 practice questions that difficult if that says anything

Just read a lot and consume heaps of media

>>73325092
What is your listening comprehension like? Don't forget that there is a 聴解 section.

>>73325274
Not that anon but to be honest I don't think you'd be able to at this pace, unless you really upped your vocab.
>you think even n2 might be manageable if I dedicate more time to my studies?
Can you afford 4 hours a day study and another 4 hours reading/listening? N3 is a big step up from N3. Not as much as the step up to N1, but still a lot. You also need to be able to read pretty quick with relatively decent comprehension.
If you've got the money and have access to a testing site, go for it, but I think you'd pushing it.

>>73325365
I've been attending japanese classes so my listening comprehension is still slightly better than my reading capabilities. I can read and write 200-300 kanji right now and I imagine my vocabulary would be around 2000 words or sth.
Will probably drop learning to write kanji (I think I got a feeling for it now) within the next month in order to be faster with learning actual new vocabs.

My biggest problem currently is grammar. I've been practicing vocabs all throughout the day in super short intervals of 5-10mins, but really need to invest some proper time to catch up on everything. I know how to conjugate in theory, but I often mess up when actually speaking.

>>73325549
>my vocabulary would be around 2000 words or sth.
>My biggest problem currently is grammar
These are going to be big problems. If you had been reading a lot you should have a good grasp on grammar.
And 2000 words isn't going to get you past the most basic stuff

>>73325665
yeah, I hope reading will increase my learning speed; I only just started with reading texts aside from textbook stuff.
I imagine grammar will only be a matter of a couple of hours of intense learning. Or am I in the wrong here? I have all the verb forms down and so far grammar has been pretty simple (aside from uncommon particle usages). Is it going to become more intricate or difficult from now on?

I guess I'll tackle N3 for now. My goal is to do my MA in japan, maybe I'll be lucky and get a spot regardless. Or I'll have to step up my japanese game

>>73325889
A lot of anons underestimate the 日本語能力試験、but if you can up your vocab study and try to read as much as your time permits, you may not be ready to pass N3 but your Japanese will be a lot better. It's probably a good thing to be motivated for something the N3 or N2 because it will give your study a greater sense of tangible purpose.
One thing I would suggest it having a look at the Dictionary of Japanese Grammar Anki deck, which is linked on the djt site main page to it's special page an anon put together. It can be a powerful supplementary aid for boosting reading comprehension. Works grear in conjunction with daily reading.

>>73325549
What the hell, 1 year and only 2000 words? And keeping at the same pace until December?
That will give you 4000 words at best (less, since we're already in April).

I could read Yotsuba comfortably with practically no grammar whatsoever only by knowing vocabulary, but I was around 6000 words then. That took me 10 months.

I say you start doing 20 words a day like most of DJT and then you'll have around 7k words by December, which is probably enough for N3 if you know the grammar part.

>>73326388
dud 6k vocab is enough for the N2, don't overhype the N3 too much.

N3 is for the normies that "Study Japanese" at Uni and want to pretend that they're fluent.

>>73326570
Ah, my bad.
Since some universities accept N3, I figured it was at least something functional.

>>73326293
>>73326388
I think I have 2k vocabs 100% memorized. And then maybe another 2k-3k which are scattered across my brain and I might forget them throughout a conversation or w/e. my anki stats are somewhere around 4-5k at least, but I feel actively using vocabulary is still another level than knowing them in anki context.

But you guys are right, I definitely have to up my vocab training. I guess I'll be aiming for n3 this december.

thanks for your input!

I find it funny that your average nip have no trouble saying "ti" and "di" (as in スパゲッティ and ディスコ), but is not able to abstract other sound sets like fafifufefo, si and tu. Can they even du? Never seen it, it's always kinda "dyu" sounding.

oops, me once more. I'm currently rescheduling my learning schedule. I can write around 300 kanji.

Is it a good idea to stop practicing drawing kanji now? I mean, is this skill in any way useful?
I don't need it for jlpt at least. In the real world, will there be situations where I have to write out kanji by hand?

>>73328443
Honestly? Probably not.
But, learning to write kanji will make you a LOT more familiar with them and probably increae your retention(So it's not useless). But it's probably not worth the time.
Long story short: Only study how to write kanji if you actually want to(Don't feel forced to do it).

>>73327874
Your active vocabulary isn't as important when reading or doing the JLPT. Active vocab will always be a small portion of what you can read

Working through imabi, could anyone explain this answer to one of the practice translations?

The translation must be in polite speech.

Q12, English:
To end with sadness.

My answer:
悲しみで終わります。

Correct answer:
悲しみで終わる。

He writes:
Note: Remember that the predicate function is the 終止形. -ます would change the definition.

In Q3, "You make butter with milk." is correctly translated as:
バターはミルクで作ります。
This uses the masu form, so I'm guessing 悲しみ is where the problem is coming from?

>>73329279
Yes, you are guessing 悲しみ is where the problem is coming from.

What does a め at the end of an insult sentence mean?(Like 化け物め)
All i found was wikipedia's "Noun: abusive "damn..." "
>>73329279
Í'm not sure, but i think the english "To" form(Was it called gerund?) is always translated to the 辞書形 and -ます would change the meaning.
The second sentence is not a "to" form, it's something that's always done like that(Like, "You go to school". It should something like "To make butter with milk" for the same to apply)
But don't take my word for it, I'm not sure.

>会長は田中氏に決定
This sentence says, The president is Mr. Tanaka.
The last word is decision correct?

So does it mean Mr. Tanaka decided to be president or it was decided that Mr.Tanaka be president?

This is the example sentence for 氏.

There's really nothing to "like that" about. My reading comprehension leaves much to be desired. I manage around 3 pages a day.

Having read its english version before, the story is pretty much clear to me. Reading it for the 1st time in japanese might pose certain challenge for a beginner.

>>73342996

Interesting, I haven't gotten to that one yet. If the speaker is pissed off, he's probably being curt and left off the copula. It's very informal obviously, and would only be done in speaking. If Tanaka himself decided, they most liked would have put the passive する at the end.

Reposting because the last thread died:

I'm confused because this doesn't fit with what's on the grammar cheatsheet I use. How are にとって and にして used in this sentence?

>人類こそ我ら宇宙人にとって絶対にして不可侵な存在。 だがー

>>73349319
I can read it but it's hard to explain. What does your cheatsheet say, anyway?

The "shite" is more of an emphasizer for "zettai ni" here, something that they absolutely don't do.
The "ni totte" reads - and here I might be mistaken - as something like "as for aliens".

>>73349319
>にとって 《に取って》 (exp) (uk) (See 取る・1) to; for; concerning; as far as ... is concerned; regarding; (P)

>我ら宇宙人にとって
To us aliens, from our point of view as aliens

I think 絶対にして is just a more emphatic way of saying 絶対に in this situation.

>人類こそ我ら宇宙人にとって絶対にして不可侵な存在。 だがー
It is humans that, to we aliens, have an absolutely inviolable existence. And yet—

やあっとる sounds like "I am dooooing".

>>73354295
>>73334305 is correct.

>>73333873
>又機会があれば、行って見てください
That means "If you have/get another chance, please go and see it."

The "again" should be regarding the opportunity, not the action of seeing it again. However, although the following is less literal a translation, depending on the context, you could also add the "again " to the main clause too i.e. "If you get another chance, please go and see it again"

tl;dr Your conditional clause definately needs a slight change to include the concept of "get another chance"

Well, specifically, the line I am seeing is 聞き覚えやあっとる. Does that change anything?

行ってみる usually means "to try to go"
and 行って見る can mean "to go and see" but when japs say "いってみる”, that means "to try to go".
again 行って見る can literally mean "to go and see"

to be honest, I might write "行って見る" for "try to see". and maybe 行って見る could not be wrong for "to go and see"
but I am not sure, though.

I just looked it up, and that says it is better to write みる for "to try".

in the first place, there is a way of expression of 神聖にして不可侵の存在.
その文章はこれをパクっている。"sacred and inviolable"

That sentence is translation of French charter and the sentences of old Japanese constitution includes it.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9claration_des_droits_de_l%27homme_et_du_citoyen_de_1789
La propriete etant un droit inviolable et sacre,
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charte_constitutionnelle_du_4_juin_1814
La personne du Roi est inviolable et sacree.

Humans are absolute and inviolable being.
人類は絶対にして不可侵な存在。

宇宙人は alien でいいのかな。。
In that sentence, Earthling is one of spaceling tho

Humans are absolute and inviolable being for us aliens. (?)

that is written in ancient written Japanese as follows originally.
神聖ニシテ侵スベカラズ/神聖にして不可侵

Actually, Japanese also don't understand that sentence, so that may be mixed between old writing and present writing probably.

Another way to think about it:
そう:それ (that)
こう:これ (this)
If you can relate them to the above they can make more sense. Think of them as kind of abstract versions. I'm guessing you are referring to one of the Core decks in Anki, so I'll use their example sentences.
そう:私もそう思います。
>That's what I think too.
Notice how the English translation provided uses "that", similar to それ (that)?
こう:こう小さい字は読めない。
>I can't read such small letters.
Here is slightly different but it has the same sort of principle as これ, as in (this): I can't read small letters like (this). It is referring to the nature or state of something directly, as though it were close to the speaker. そう is referring to the thing like それ、as though it were close to the listener, as in it is what they have said that the speaker is responding to in saying they also think (that).

It's not a 1:1 or anything, but it might help get our head around the terms a little more as you see them used while reading, listening, etc.

uncle mustache went a border between Australia and Kiwi-land for an inspection by car and he was attacked by kangaroos.
his subordinates got hurt.

and this is a Zhong-guo's newpaper.
it's clear as if it's Japanese language.

Since when is kanji not useful inside Japan? Unless you're a foreigner, then kanji isn't very useful since traffic and warning signs have English translation.

The more many country's people use kanji, the more that is useful.
Because kanji is emoji for the normalization of words.
The reason why traffic and warning signs in Japan have English translation is that Japanese use English so less that foreigners can't live in Japan.

Some people expect that anki judges whether they know a word/card or not by itself, kind of like Wanikani does using input from the user, but you have to make that assessment yourself, and try to be honest doing so.

>>73370666
Oh, so it is literally taking advantage of a "situation in which one is ignorant (especially sexually)".

I wasn't maymaying. My confusion was from both the term ("ignorant situation" doesn't make sense to me in english), plus the fact that sometimes, I saw it got used like こいつは無知シチュ(だ).

this kind of shit always annoys me the fuck out, which one is the intended meaning?

>>73377657
The kana is what they actually say out loud, the kanji is the meaning.

>>73377424
>地球が丸ければ、なんで地平線は平たいと線と書かれますか⁉
The answer is either going to be when I get to the word, "horizon", if it's in the 6k deck.

>>73377944
but is that always the case, or are there cases where it's inverted?

>生かす, take advantage of, make use of

I used this in the context of take advantage of and the Japanese person I was speaking with had no idea what I was talking about.

She said 利用する worked better. Am I missing something with Anki's translation?

>>73378638
>生かす,
it's to make use of, it's not used for people. if you get Rikaisama and hover over it you'll see。

you can make use of your skills, etc. you're not "using" your skills.
example from Jisho: 心停止のかんじゃ患者をおうきゅうしょち応急処置でい生かした。We used emergency measures to revive the cardiac arrest patient.

>マンガのセリフで、「本気」と書いてあって「マジ」と書いてあった場合、キャラクターが音として発声しているのはどちらの言葉でしょうか?
In manga dialogue, when a word is written 本気 with the furigana マジ, which word is the character actually saying out loud?
>通常は、キャラクターが音として発声しているのは「マジ」であり、「本気」はその意味を読者に説明するために書いてあるのだと思います。
Normally, the word the character is pronouncing would be マジ, and the word 本気 would only be written to explain the meaning to the reader.

>>73382469
But there are cases where the opposite is true, especially when the furigana is written in kanji.
>他方、「アシバー」と書いて「遊び人」のルビ、「ギミック」と書いて「仕掛け」のルビ、「特商法」と書いて「特定商取引法」のルビがふられていることがあります。
On the other hand, アシバー might be written with the furigana 遊び人, or ギミック with the furigana 仕掛け, or 特商法 with 特定商取引法.
>これらの場合は、通常とは逆に、各キャラクターが音として発声しているのは、本文の言葉であり、ルビの方が意味内容を表しているのではないかと思います。
In this situation, contrary to normal, it's tempting to think that the word the character is pronouncing out loud is the original word, while the furigana represents the meaning.
>似たようなケースでは、ドリフターズにおいて、主人公島津豊久が音として発声しているであろう薩摩弁が本文に記載され、それを標準語に翻訳(?)したものがルビになっています。
In a similar case, in "Drifters," the main character Shimazu Toyohisa's dialogue in Satsugu-ben, which it is safe to assume he's actually speaking, with a standard Japanese translation written in furigana.

>>73382518
In other cases it's unclear.
>ルビについて気になることがもう一点。
There is one more point about furigana that interests me.
>本文とルビの意味がほとんど関係ないパターンです。
That is the situation where there appears to be almost no relation between the main text and the furigana.
>例えば、ハンターハンターにおける「神の左手悪魔の右手(ギャラリーフェイク)。
For example, the word 神の左手悪魔の右手 written with the furigana ギャラリーフェイク in Hunter x Hunter.
>盗賊の極意(ハンターズスキル)などは意訳の範囲でしょうが、ギャラリーフェイクに至っては、ルビと本文がほとんど関係ない、というか別のマンガ2作品のタイトルです。
Something like 盗賊の極意 with furigana ハンターズスキル might be within the realm of a liberal translation, but when it comes to "Gallery Fake," there seems to be no relation between the two—or rather, they sound like the titles of two separate manga series.
>念能力という固有名詞なので、何でもアリといえばアリですが、あの世界のキャラクターはルビの部分を発声しているのか、本文の部分まで含めて自分で考えているのか、本文の部分は他人に伝えてるのか、などよく分からない部分です。
Since the name of a superpower is a proper noun, you might be able to argue that anything goes, but it's hard to say whether the characters in that world say the furigana out loud, or whether they consider the meaning of the main text at all, or whether that meaning gets conveyed to the other characters in any way.

You're doing better than me, I thought it was "Ignorant Stew", then with Papadopoulos explanation it became somehow a "Stew" of innocent children, like an orgy or something.
If there is still some conflict in your mind because "Situation" isn't exactly an adjective, just think how "He's a Lolicon" makes like sense as well, since "He is a Lolita Complex" mixes wrong classes of words. But they don't care. Context is king.

To me it sounds like
- I don't do such thing(s).
- I don't do that.

First is general, second is about a specific thing.

I was reading 「https://www.berrys-cafe.jp/pc/book/n1229855/51/」and I am confusing about the line 「そんなに嫌がんなくてもいいのによ」 (ctrl-f it). It seems to me like it shouldn't have なく in this context, but it does, which seems like the opposite it should be to me. So what does that part mean?

>>73401569

"(you/me/etc) need not hate (it) so much, and yet.."

Something like that doesn't make sense in the context? I'd read more into the text but frankly it would take too much effort and I've done enough studying today lol. Could you provide some background on what this is?

What are /DJT/'s study habits, methods and tips? I never studied in high school, so I have awful study habits, no methods etc.

Is it customary to adopt a Japanese name or let Japs struggle to pronounce your name? For example, Christopher would go on to become Kurisu. Should I just let them butcher it?

>>73403946
My friend was called João and nobody in the US could ever get his name right.
After much struggle, to a point where some people were calling him "Yo Ho", he just decided to go by "John".

Kurisu is quite bearable, can you imagine being called something like Volleyball, which gets mangled to Bareebooru?
