誰もいない

Dead language.

別にいいじゃない

Icelandish is dead, Björn

だって朝7:30だもん
只今通勤中

Germany is dead.

dafuq is Icelandish, never heard of that.

ここの日本人はニートじゃなかったの?

If Japanese would abolish Kanji, could Japanese resurrect? Because Japanese learners often say Japanese pronunciation is super easy and its grammer is relativity easy too.

スレが死んだら困るだろうな

Never change, Japan.

死んだら作り直せばいい

じゃあ とりあえず
おはよう ^^/

>1784 -> 1805

おはよう、もうすぐにおやすみだけど

the previous number was wrong, it's now repaired

>Japanese grammar
>Easy

Thanks for fixing the number, Doitsurando.

what is this pls help

>21 posts in 4 hours

people are losing interest in learning japanese?

there are threads on two boards
the Sup Forums ban fugged us

Sup Forums is a shithole, I didn't even come here before it moved to Sup Forums

No matter, we're the board that's actually going to use the japanese for something meaningful to change our lives.

whatcha using your japanese for, canadabro?

That's a mahjong tile.

>fucked up mext application

It depends on the day. Sometimes I wake up and there are 100 new posts here and about 20~30 on /jp/.

jesus christ. MEXT is a requirement for japanese visa's, right?

that is the one meeting you absolutely cannot fuck up, bro.

Oh wait, I just remembered

the Super Bowl is happening right now. Everyone's shitposting on Sup Forums and Sup Forums, but i would have thought the weebs would be unaffected.

「事情知ってるキャラ、高い所に立ちがち」

It seems weird that the noun would be after the verb for 知ってる

also why is it 知ってるinstead of しって?

知ってる is an informal form of the way of saying 知っている

and I suppose を is missing. there should've been it between 事情 and 知っている. such awkwardly speaking reminds me of reticent characters

>its grammer is relativity easy too
japanese-language.aiyori.org/article1.html

たち - makes a noun plural

Is this a fairly simple rule?

Nekotachi = cats ?
Inutachi = dogs ?
kurumatachi = cars ?

dont think of it like that, the words are already plural by nature,

猫 = cat/cats
犬 = dog/dogs
車 = car/cars

たち is mostly used for people or animals, it has a feeling to it.

Is anyone else juggling a difficult college course load and moonlearning as well? I'm having trouble just keeping on top of my anki reps and keeping up with classwork.

basically yes. but we don't use "tati" as the same way English speakers strictly use "-s" properly. this is why Japanese posters forget article "a".

Huh...
Fuck.

Well arigatou senpai.

Yes , but only for being .
So not for cars .

also for insects.

Try making Anki during breaks, commute and whatnot.

If you're really lagging on other areas, lower your new cards and focus on grammar or reading with that time.

I only have around 1 hour of free study time during weekdays, so I just do Anki. Once I'm done with it, I won't add cards for a couple months while I study grammar, doing only review reps.

This difficult college course is moonlearning for me

Grammar is 100x harder than Kanji for me at least, Kanji was a lot easier

How would you say someone is in a movie, like appeared in a movie/play/book/show?

Are universities in the US like a lot more work than here or something? I learned Japanese throughout studying and I easily had 3 hours every day for it.

I thought of 登場人物

I'm doing a STEM major + trying to maintain a 4.0 GPA, which may exacerbate it. Hahaha

Well I did both of those as well. How much time do you spend on lectures, assignments, labs, etc?

I think I'm taking 19 credits this semester, plus a few hours additional obligation for ROTC, I have 2 labs due a week with probably 5-6 other miscellaneous assignments due every week. I find myself very busy most weekdays, I'm not incredibly smart so I have to check over my work and be careful to get grades..

those are nouns, i need verbs/adj

Wait I'm not sure how the American system works, 19 credits is how many courses? What's ROTC?
We do 4 courses a semester, so at worse you'll have 4 assignments due every week, each one only taking like 1-2 hours unless it's a super hard course.

19 credits is a shitton for a semester, and ROTC is military club (basically)

t. other american in the thread

>military club
you have officially triggered me
also I don't think 19 is a shitton
19 credits = 19 hours of class a week

someoneが出演している
or
someoneが出ている

fug man if you take about 30 credits/semester which is the norm thats way over half your workload for the year

also I was never really in ROTC it was just a guess

merci

That is a fair bit, our 4 courses would have about 3 lectures a week so you'd usually only have about 12 hours of class.
I guess I'm glad I studied here where the universities are cheaper and less work.

Noun phrase, my バーガーたち友達。

日本人じゃないんで

Any legitimate 日章旗 anons around? A question: would 安地 be understood in the following sense?
Context:
It is very hot in place I am in at the moment but lying with a fan blowing against my face provides comfort and a feeling of relaxation. Turning off the fan or moving away from it causes a rapid rise in body temperature and within minutes I am dripping in sweat and stressed out/anxious. This space within the fan breeze is like a comfort zone or a safe space from the environment.
Could this be referred to as an 安地、as in 安全地帯?

Pic unrelated. Just like it.

>trying to create sjw words

Use cool zone or 寒い地帯

we could call such a situation 安全地帯 to be funny. basically the way of using it is not common. nowadays Jap game players often use 安地.

>寒い
it's rather cold (uncomfortable)

安地 is already an abbreviation used in reference to video games. The fuck has this got to do with Sup Forumstard shit?

Cheers. Sounds chill.

>we could call such a situation 安全地帯 to be funny.
Yeah, it was supposed to be tongue in cheek.

Fuck that is for weather innnit

>500 yen for water
Eh, reminds me I went to the grocery store yesterday and they had a 8-pack of really really tiny mochi for 20 reais (around 720 yen).

Fuck that shit.

Help, please.
>わらびは頭がグーになったのを採るんだよ
>頭がグーになった
What is this グー sound (?) in this context? Or does this mean when the bracken flower head has grown into a fist size shape that it is ready to be picked (for consumption)?

>出る者がいないのは疑いようもありませんが
Is this commenting on how the yet to come out of the flower head part of the plant isn't deceptive in appearance to the philosphy of ギリシャ (this is a reference to the place they are in and their knowledge, talking about the old lady and her understanding of plants)?

The joke in that image is the drink bar at the カラオケ place they went to had free drinks, so Bocchi decided to get water because she got it in her head that using the free drink bar for anything but water would make the place go bankrupt.

nope. 寒い is almost always used as in "cold". 涼しい is better although 涼しい地帯 sounds weird.

when it comes to a kinda comfort index of the thermal environment, cold(寒い) cool(涼しい) .warm(暖かい、温い) 暑い(暑い) that's about it.

>暑い(暑い)
hot (暑い)

Eh, and what's with writing one カタカナ word in the middle of your sentence?

¿Serious?

>グー
in this case that's a shape of a fist (folded fingers)

I couldn't read that properly so I just try to leave some hints.
>出る者は(が)いない
this means he/she is so outstanding that nobody is equal to him/her in ability etc
>....は疑いようもない
there's no doubt about ....

>右に出る者は(が)いない
fixed

Cheers, user.
>I couldn't read that properly
The English in my post? Well, either way your post was helpful.

No one does elongated vowels better than Akari.

>承る
>うけたまわる
5 syllables. Woah. Are there other kanji like this, or even longer?

I did 23 credit hours of engineering and ROTC one semester. You can do it!

Rosette stone coming from English or a Romance language as your base isn't very useful, IMO.

As for you, Learning on DJT more has no meaning

HOLY SHIT.

Also I just remembered 志, or kokorozashi. It pales before these you sent, though...

What? They just jammed a whole sentence into this kanji? That could pass for a definition of 悲鳴 or something.

The amusing part is the reading could use some kanji for clarification, making this a matryoshka kanji!

Sup.

Question:

In the expression 何言うとんねん, what is "とんねん"/what is it derived from?

とん ねん > とる ねん(Kansai-ben) > てる んだ(standard Japanese)

だと おもう

そういうことか。あざす。

何言うとんねん

言っているのiuutteiruno→ゆーてんねんjuute'nen→ゆーとんねん
