>出勤してこい

Is he just saying/quoting what his boss/people at work would say to him or something? I can't think of another reason he'd use imperative

>メーワクかけんなよ

Is this short for 迷惑をかけるなよ (as in telling Yotsuba to stop being annoying) or is he trying to say that his work is annoying somehow?

>>74898052
He's saying that if going over to the neighbors is your work, then go to work (and stop bothering me)

>>74898052
And the 迷惑かけるな is "don't bother the neighbors"

>>74898191
>>74898172

Ah, so Yotsuba saying 仕事だからなー is like "Because it's my Job..."

In that case everything makes sense then. Thanks. The English translation decided to completely change it though, which threw me off

>>74898323
She is saying that she is always over at the neighbours because he is always working. Since she said it is his job, he has no choice but to go back to work, indicating that Yotuba would go over to the neighbours (as Yotuba established she goes over to play because he is working) and not to be a nuisance (to the neighbours).
It could likely be translated in different ways to express the same basic meaning.

>>74898052
>>74898999
>You never get tired of working, huh, Dad?
>Yotsuba's gonna go over to the neighbors, you know?

>And you never get tired of going over to the neighbors, do you?

>It's my job, after all.

>It's your job, huh? Then there's no helping it, is there?
>Go to work. (And don't cause trouble for the neighbors.)

I don't think Koiwai's 仕事かぁー じゃあしゃーねぇなぁー makes sense if Yotsuba's しごとだからなー means "Because you're working, after all."

>>74898999

If that's the case, who is 出勤してこい directed at? That can only really mean "attendance at work" and it appears to be directed at Yotsuba, it leads be to believe Yotsuba thinks going to the neighbors is her job. Could be wrong though.

While I'm mid-post I might as well ask: what's with this stem of てみる form? Seems like it should be てみろ but I have no idea why it's just the stem

1. 海の向こうの遠い国から来た = I came from a distant country of the other side of the sea = I came from a distant country beyond the sea.

What's the purpose of あっちの here? "that is that way"? It make sense without it, but with it seems unnecessary

2. よつばもあっちの遠いばーちゃんちから来た

Why も here? They both didn't come from distant Grandma houses. Yotsuba doesn't even use a parallel here, does she? And also, I'm guessing あっちの means "that's over there (that way)" but correct me if I'm wrong.

3. もっと遠い飛行機でいくことから来た

What? Someone just explain this one from the beginning, cause I've got nothing. I came from a going event by way of an even farther airplane? I know the actual meaning of the sentence is like "I came from even further on an airplane," but the grammar she uses makes no sense to me here. If it was like 飛行機でもっと遠いところから来た it would make absolute sense

>>74902203
How is your reading going in general? I'm finishing Tae Kim pretty soon and would like to start out. Did you start with はなひらっ!or よつばと! right away?

>>74902096
Wouldn't know. I'm as ignorant as you are. I just like the book because it does a good job of explaining concepts in a way even I can understand.

>>74902499
Fair enough.

>>74902203
>その前はもっと遠い飛行機でいくとこから来た
Before that, I came from a place even further away that you get to by airplane!

>>74920576
That sounds awesome, but how does it work offline?
Two other questions:
1. can it search for definitions based on both the vocab in kanji then checking the reading, to prevent adding a bunch of incorrect definitions based on automatically selecting the wrong word due to using the same kanji?
2. can you hook us up, man?

>>74920775
English and Japanese are completely different languages mate. You have to consider the meaning of the entire phrase, not the words individually. For those examples, depending on the context you could say something like 馬鹿な事をしないで and 大人しくして.

>>74921405
I see, thanks. I was only really asking that question because I was sure I had seen something like that in the past.

>>74895346
なにやってんだか

>>74921042
>how does it work offline?
I first look up the word 日本 on the dictionary online. I memorize its definitions in a database on my computer, then look up every single word mentioned in the definitions of 日本. I repeat this process until I don't find any new words. Right now there are over 30000 words to lookup.

When I am using anki, the javascript will request data from the database I have installed, not from the internet, so it should be instantaneous.

>1. can it search for definitions based on both the vocab in kanji then checking the reading, to prevent adding a bunch of incorrect definitions based on automatically selecting the wrong word due to using the same kanji?
Nope. How would I do that? Not on a programming level, but on a logical level. How can I disambiguate between different pronunciations of the same spelling?

>2. can you hook us up, man?
Probably. *if* I rent a VPS it should be as easy as adding a script tag to your cards, maybe a bit of css to make it prettier. otherwise you'll have to download python and run a setup.

>1 トウガラシ・ワサビなどのように、舌やのどを強く刺激するような味である。「インド風の―・い料理」→五味(ごみ)
辛い:
つら・い
>［形］［文］つら・し［ク］
>1 他人に対して冷酷である。非情である。むごい。「―・いしうち」「―・く当たる」

>>74921716
Do you have a couple of example sentences for both? I want to test something to see if I can do something about this.

>>74921488
You can definitely do ている in the imperative as in ていろ, but I'm not sure if the same expression makes sense for noun/adjective phrases. でいろ? であれ even?

>>74922045

よう is the 24th most common word in the language yet it is the 3000th card in core.

How are the cards ordered and how do you reorder them by a sort field?

>>74924085
when i tried doing core a long time ago, i exported in CSV, reordered with a script by frequency based on a novel corpus (since i wanted to read novels), then reimported the CSV. If you have a bunch of novels/subtitles files/websites you want to base the analysis on, you can zip em, upload em and I can do the reordering for you

>Technically the field I want to sort by is already in the deck
In that case, it's rather easy.

Go on the browser, view just the deck you want to sort. Select a card from that deck, select fields, select the field you want to sort by, select "sort by this field in the browser", click close, use the new sort field to reorder the cards, add is:new to the search bar, press CTRL+A, go on EDIT->reschedule, select "place at the end of new card queue", smash dat ok button and you're done.

... it's actually way easier done than said.

let me know if it works.

Doing it wrong. The only good parts of it were the last episodes of S2.
Not worth the ride though.

I've been trying to read キノの旅. I'm probably not picking up every morsel of meaning, but it's going alright. This isn't a big deal, though I'm curious as to how people would interpret this line of dialogue:

「キミ達は後一年ほど、ここにいなくてはならないと思う。どうだろう?」 (the guy is pleading for Kino to stay in his country)

I originally interpreted it as something like: "If you guys stay here for another year, you'll think about how you must stay. How about it?" (I thought of it was a kind of conditional clause almost, because of the comma put after ほど)

The official translation (which is by no means a go to source for a literal translation, but regardless) say this: "I must insist that you
stay for another year. Will you?"

I've never seen a なければならない with a と思う. The なければ by itself is rather strong (at least when speaking of others), so is adding と思う a kind of way to soften the "must" sentiment? That makes sense, but I'm curious if you guys have any insights.

huh, that's fun... i guess

>>74929432
I think a plain と思う is normally used for one's own thoughts, not someone else's. If it was referring to someone else's thoughts then there'd probably be some extra hint indicating this

>>74930373

That's a good point, it might be one of those things where it needs to be in the stative, like と思っている, to be applied to other persons.

1.

>無理言っちゃダメ

Sounds like she's saying "You can't make unreasonable demands!" but 無理 just means "unreasonable" and not "unreasonable demand." How can she just use 無理 instead of an adverb that modifies 言う or an actual noun that means "unreasonable demand/request"?

2. I'm guessing that も here creates something like "Danbo's parents are waiting for him also," and not "Danbo also ..." because the latter wouldn't make sense

Can gaijin be certified in abacus use?

There are six grades of certification. Are there cultural friendship programs which give offical certifications?

>>74935052
The が indicates that it is the parents who are doing the waiting, and the も contains this information as relating to ダンボー (IE it's his parents +"also").

>>74935276
Soroban?
I was interested in learning it since arithmetic is so slow with traditional methods. No idea about your question though.

>>74935052
無理を言う means to make an unreasonable demand, to ask something unreasonable of someone.
も doesn't always literally mean also, it can also mean things like "even." The general feeling is that Yotsuba should be thinking about Danbo too, not just herself.

>>74935315
>>74935414

Thanks

>>74935052
Maybe "Danbo has parents waiting for him at home, too" if you're fixated on using the words "too" or "also."

I tested it out a few months back and it seemed alright for learning basic vocabulary and such, but I don't know if it helps with actual reading and so on.

>>74950342
The consensus is to just use Anki instead. I haven't used it myself though so I don't know the specifics.

How do you rate new words in anki (again/good/easy)? Usually I haven't seen the word before so I always press again at first (unless it's a really obvious katakana loanword), but even if I'm able to recall it the next time I see it I'll always press "Good" and never "Easy" because I feel like I might forget it if I'm waiting days to review it again. After it shows up on another day I rate it normally as I do for the others (easy if I recall it quickly, etc).

Is that how I should be doing it or am I giving myself extra reviews for no reason?

>>74969047
You can press Easy if it's an obvious loanword or a kanji like 人. Other than that, even if you're very used to it, don't spam Easy, the interval Anki sets apart to your next rep is already pretty generous if you never get a card wrong.

I also press again when first seeing a card, Anki's configured to ignore Agains on a card's first day, so that won't affect their curve.

>>74969047
>How do you rate new words in anki
The first time it appears in the review cycle, I hit "good", regardless. Then, in ten minutes or so when it shoes it again, the card goes into my normal cycle of hitting again if I don't know the reading and meaning or good if I do.

Perhaps that manga's publisher took a mistake.

The boy and the girl are in a locked room. The girl becomes nervous, but the boy says something to help her calm down. The picture happens right after that.
If that's the context, can 経たない work?

>>74971546
I got it.
経たない is correct after all.

I guess that is a conversation like this.
girl "早く開けて!誰か助けて!"
boy "大丈夫。多分そのうち開くよ。(…理由の説明)"
girl "ああ西片(boy)の言う通りだ。そんなに経たない間に出られるだろう"

間(あいだ) of 経たない間 is No4 of this.
間(ま) of この間をどう埋めれば is No5 of this.
