Special Sup Forums FAQ: >What's the point of this thread? For learners of Japanese to come and ask questions and shitpost with other learners. Japanese people learning English can come too I guess. >Why is it here? The mods moved us here and won't let us go anywhere else. >Why not use the pre-existing Japanese thread? The cultures are completely different. >Go back to Sup Forums We'd like to. Bitch to the mods.
"The friend of both John and Jack" (one person) or "Jack's friend and John" (two different people) or is it like saying "John and Jack's friend" which could mean either of the previous two

>"The friend of both John and Jack" (one person) This one I'm pretty sure. Everything before that is describing that friend.
Okay what the fuck. Towards the end of this, why does she count to 3 using 'Hitotsu, futatsu, mittsu'? She's not going anything in particular, so why not just use ichi, ni, san?
Zachary Nelson
Why is 医者へなる。incorrect?
Wouldn't it mean he is heading towards being a doctor or "doctorship"?
Brayden Foster
へ is only used for physical destinations.
Owen Nguyen
it sounds cooler
Jeremiah Murphy
She's counting seconds and seconds are things. Therefore you can count them with つ
Jace Bennett
But what about 勝ちへ向かう。
victory considered a physical destination but a phd isnt?

I'm starting to think that Subahibi is too hard as my first visual novel. Should I go ahead and keep reading it or should I move to something else?
Logan Walker
ゆっこは
ばかだなあ
Charles Richardson
That is a poetic usage, more like an exception to the rule. The verb 向かう should also be taken into account.

Can I even bring tissues with me?

Brayden Morris
Ask the proctor when you get there. If not, have some tissues and a mask ready. Shove the tissues up your nose and wear the mask to conceal it.

That is because old Kanji characters give us a traditional impression, and some people find those characters cooler.

Welp fuck it I'm out. /djt/ on blue Sup Forums fucking sucks,
Well at least I'm not going to be distracted by /djt/ anymore and can focus on learning.
Hudson Young
It is (or used to be) taught in middle school in America, but most people don't use it at all after that.
Jordan Miller
The red-headed cat ate the fish. The cate ate the red-headed fish. The cat with a head that ate a red fish. The head is a cat that ate a red fish. The head is a red cat that ate a fish.
Some of the sentences sound a little weird because of the lack of context and the weirdness of the situations they describe, but they illustrate the difference that word order can make in English.
Easton Gonzalez
what's the actual sentence here
Liam Fisher
Her decision was to go to the police and report everyone had been looking for the terrorist that was her friend. What a sentence. It's easier just to feel it out based on context than to apply grammar terms to that shit.
Ian Young
None of those phrases form full sentences but rather describe the cat.
The cat with a red head that ate the fish The cat that ate the fish with the red head The cat with a head that ate a red fish The (man with a) cat head that ate a red fish The (man with a) red cat head that ate a fish
Logan Anderson
Isn't it >Her decision was to go to the police and report that her friend was the terrorist that everyone had been looking for
Owen Hughes
Yes, you are correct. わるい
Dylan Scott
Her decision was to go to the police and report that her friend was the terrorist everyone had been looking for.
William Turner
given those arranged things, English looks smart. but I lose direction when subject or object in a sentence consist of long phrases/many words.
Robert Hernandez
The cat the caught the mouse that ate some bread that I had baked yesterday came into my room and threw up a hair ball on my bed that was given to me by my wife's daughter who had married a black man.
How is that?

文例はやっぱり文学的な本から出さないとな >He did not use the phone to call the woman who'd promised to come because if he tied up the line and if it happened to be the time when maybe she was trying to call him he was afraid she would hear the busy signal and think him disin-terested and get angry and maybe take what she'd promised him somewhere else. いいな
Zachary Long
ah "that/which S + V +O/C + α" looks easy. "that/which + S + V/C + α" sometimes makes me confused because I wonder what the relative pronoun is referring to.
Hudson Richardson
You're back?
Kevin Gutierrez
>*"that/which + V +O/C + α" looks easy oh shit

>The cat the caught Lost me after four words.

Not really, I just drop by every so often to check how the thread is doing.
I'm a bit disappointed that the section about the guide being free to distribution and copying/modification was removed. I specifically told her to keep that part when I handed it off.

Yeah I know, it's more a matter of encouraging people do to just that.
Jacob Richardson
>that/which 気の向くままに交換できるというのは、大きな嘘だぞ
Ayden Allen
People don't need encouragement to take shit without soft permission or "encouragement", online. They do it anyway. Internet 101. Stop with fucking photos already, you goddamn attention whore.
Caleb Phillips
The relative pronoun is always referring to the thing that comes right before it, 先行詞.
Matthew Hernandez
Is this true?

Connor Hughes
You gotta understand English is also heavily dependent on context and has many overlaps from a word covering multiple grammatical classes. That's why the sentence
"Police police police police police police police police." is possible.
The solution for that? Either verb conjugations that make clear the subject or noun cases. Both lacking in Japanese and English. It doesn't clear up all ambiguity, but does a decent job.

Question: How did you guys start learning Japanese? The subject of this question is "You" by the way, not "Japanese". Because obviously there are a lot of people that learned without access to the guide materials, and I was wondering how successful the methods are that predate the OP.
[spoiler]Also I'm a dumbass supplicant that did Kanjidamage and tae kim, started reading Yotsuba&, got snowed in under all the anki reps/vocab mining, then gave up- but wants to try again now I've hopefully forgotten everything Kanjidamage taught me wrong.
Kayden Sullivan
>no fun allowed I mean come on, check out Sup Forumss catalog, the whole board is low quality shitposting general anyway.
Isaac Nguyen
Looked up hiragana and katakana worksheets online, found some basic grammar explanations, then I took courses in college.
