The newer version has せうかなめ listed as an illustrator as well as ue. These books don't have a whole lot of illustration so is one the cover artist and the other the insert image artist or something?

What's the rules for using suru-verbs without suru? E.g. 勉強は難しい。
Jose Kelly
They are nouns without する and should be treated as such in using sentence patterns.
Camden Gray
bump
Jackson Evans
So my sentence is valid then? Or would I need する anyway?
Zachary Harris
could not より be applied in this case?
no you are good, just make sure you want the topic to be "studies". like just the noun itself, not the "act of doing it (studying)". hope that makes sense.
William Lopez
Daily German fucking post
Every day, Germans who criticize Japan should apologize for German war crimes.
Hmm, I don't know something seems awkward about that, though maybe I am just overthinking it. I am certainly no expert. Hopefully someone else will chime in soon. Present progressive with a ている attached might work better here as well, as you are talking about a methodical action.
Looking at jisho, maybe 以内 could work.. or even しか, however I know you want that "less" aspect stated.
Liam Gutierrez
Okay fuck, yeah より wouldn't make sense here sorry.
Maybe だけ could work here as well? However you still want that less than nuance...
Gabriel Ortiz
>no you are good, just make sure you want the topic to be "studies" yes, that's exactly what i wanted, thank you
Cooper Brooks
I would leave the suru, so it would sound more like "(the act of) studying is hard."
勉強するの(こと)は難しい。
But I don't know, maybe the nuance shifts to it being hard to find the opportunity to study, instead of doing the thing in itself being hard.
Jason White
Japanese vocab isn't hard; it's just time consuming. Yes, that includes kanji.
Learning easy things is obviously easier on you, making the process more enjoyable. You make progress and feel good about it and yourself.
Learning harder things is uncomfortable, and you often have to really push yourself to do it. It's fuzzy and indirect and vague. Sometimes it's unclear if you're even making progress despite the immense effort you're putting in, it feels out of proportion and is thus frustrating. Some people react to being wrong by getting angry and annoyed - I would know, as I'm one of them.
However, we only TRULY get better at skills when we are forced to really struggle to get through. Skills that force us to go through this uncomfortable, really pushing it feeling are usually skills that are valuable in the end, as many are unwilling to even attempt to start learning them.
Yes it can seem inconsistent and bullshit, but it's still the easiest path to understanding. Grammar rules were written after the fact, weren't they? Yet, they summarize the patterns you would otherwise spend a LONGASS amount of time trying to absorb via input.
Burying your head in the sand of ONLY learning vocabulary isn't going to make it go away, it's procrastination.

What this could mean ああんクチ?
Nathan Jones
>ああん Usually means something like "open your mouth and say 'aaaah'" if a person is being fed or their mouth is being examined in some way. >クチ Obviously means "mouth" which fits the above. It's hard to give a more precise translation of the full phrase without better context.
Jaxson Ward
In ero material the guy often says something that is translated to English as "your body is honest."
What is he saying in Japanese? Like if you put it in kana.
Matthew Bell
>translated to English as "your body is honest." the fuck am I reading?
the only thing I can think of is 本物 maybe, I think in anime they usually translate it with "the real thing" or something like that
Andrew Kelly
He means when the girl is forced into sex and she puts up a front and tries to resist but her nipples are erect and her vagina's wet so the guy responds to her protests with something like "Even though you're saying 'no' your body is honest" or whatever because obviously she's physically aroused
Luke Green
>ワールドランク どうどうのさい(さえ?)
Do either of these sound right and make sense?
堂々の最 - The most impressive world ranker 堂々の才 - The most talented world ranker
Nothing sounds right if I assume どうどう is 同道.
Isaac Morales

Dominic Price
I'm an Ankidrone and you can't make me change!
Logan Garcia
In context: はあ弁士の姐さんも人形好きなの? ああんクチ 映画の前は文楽の語りもやってて
Jack Kelly
I would say 堂々たる才(どうどうたるさい) that souds like written language and means "stately talent" or something, though.
Both 堂々の最 and 堂々の才 sounds weird and probably might not make any sense.
Veteran here, learning kanji is impractical. I'm jealous to those who can actually speak Japanese. Despite being able to read mangas like Medaka Box-level, my speaking skill is shit.

Jason Bell
I think it's just negative expression.
Aiden Peterson
How long have you been doing Anki for? Might just be you're getting past the initial friction.
It also might have to do with the fact Core has "waves" where new kanji stop appearing and only new vocab with old kanji shows up.
Also, what is the schedule for physical exercises and Anki reps? Doing some exercise will definitely oxygenate your brain, though I don't think it's a long-term thing, it's more of a chemical afterburn. Unless you were obese and had a shitty health condition, case in which exercises will just restore your focus, not necessarily increase it that much.
Camden Martinez
A couple of months, exclusively mining my own cards, no premade deck (except for my custom radical deck).
More than 10 hours between exercise and anki.
Samuel Wilson
Eh, then I don't know. I'm pretty sedentary and I have an average of 7~8 reviews per minute, although my retention is fine.
The answer probably lies in military training. Maybe all that training is also supposed to give you better reflexes.
Hire a coach to slap you and psychologically shock you all the time, see if you can push it to 30 reps a minute.
Christian Lopez
I can understand pretty well on everyday conversations. I'm bad when it comes to math instructions..
Thanks. Is ソコんとこ very slangy, or is it just normal informal?
Blake Lopez
It's pretty slangy, yeah.
Mason Young
Just for clearing it up... I know you can write "Verb + koto" or "Verb + no" for shortening it, but "Verb + no + koto" is dame?
Austin Wood
ランクの話をしているなら「堂々の3位」じゃない?
Logan Robinson
>3位 I think you're right. That makes way more sense than anything I had. 「堂々」はまだ少し変だが、ありがとう~
Hunter Collins
Please r8 and correct the following sentences: >でも、映画はつまらなくて、長かった。そして、私たちは眠くて、寝た。 Can I use i-adjective inflection like that「眠くて、寝た」or is that wrong?
Henry Garcia
Or maybe this would be better: >だから、私たちは眠くなって、寝た。
Hunter Clark
一回するかしないか Maybe you can use this.
Christian Anderson
As in something like「勉強は一週間に一回するかしない」? I was thinking about that question and came up with a handful of different answers but none of them sounded natural or fitted exactly what user was after. It was frustrating.
Brandon Cox
I was thinking 勉強は週に一回するかしないかぐらいの程度です or something. I have to admit, I'm not entirely sure how to phrase it naturally.
There's always 勉強は週に多くても一回しかしない...

Does 電気労働者, translate to Electrician?
Not looking for 電気技師 because that's different.
Or is 技師 a word for workers as well as engineers?
Nathaniel Bennett
Yes. 労働者 often has a meaning of social hierarchy. Electrician is 電気技師 or 電気技術者 or 電気工. 技師 often shows an engineer who has high skill because 師 is teacher. the way of speaking of 電気労働者 is rare.
Eli Allen
Thank you, I've asked actual Japanese people this many times but never really get a clear answer and people always end up thinking I'm an engineer instead of a technician.
I'm probably going to go with 電気工 because it's the simplest to write/say if I need to.

Is this it? Looks easy enough!
>inb4 combination sentence with many of these
Mason Rivera
Yeah, knowing grammar is 10% of the climb, 90% is dealing with multiple clauses intertwining and mentally solving ambiguities.
Jason Rodriguez
Is that so? Good for you, my dude. I'm not quite at that level, I just posted this here so I could save it onto my laptop later. (Don't tell anyone shh)
The second one is a コミックアライブ which means a manga adaptation of an LN. You'd probably want the 文庫 since well-written prose is far better than pretty pictures, at least in my opinion.

Global Campaign has hit 100,000 followers? Then 1 million? What's みたいなやつする一度も当たったことがないから though? And 1名様とか10名様とか?
Anthony Hall
Please translate. I really want to understand what you're saying.
Lucas Gomez
Japanese thought that the soul would stay in 袂. So "袖を振る" means I will give you my heart.
Unmarried women wear long 袂 kimono = furisode so that she can 袖を振る very well. When a woman gets married and gets a husband, she does not have to 袖を振る to call to men anymore. So, she cut off the 袂 and begins to wear short 袂 kimono=tomesode. She leaves cut 袂 in parents, so 袂を分かつ=to divid 袂 means leaving parents, originally.
Today, we use 袂を分かつ to go on separate courses with a person who was together or a person who was doing something together.
By the way, if you say 袖「に」振る, it means "threw over a lover". Be careful the difference between 袖を振る and 袖に振る.

It ain't. If I sit for 2 hours I start feeling a bit sickly. --> Do squats until I feel it and suddenly I'm able to focus twice as well.

>グラブル Grand Blue Fantasy, a keitai game
>グラブルのキャンペーン、10万人に当たる!とか100万人に当たる! Think of these phrases being in quotation marks.
"The GranBlue campaign (contest, lottery) has with 10,000 winners!" or "There are 100,000 winners!" >みたいなやつ means "or sth like that" >すら一度も当たったことがないから、 I've never won it. >1名様とか10名様とかはまったく希望を持てない(´･ω･`) so I can't hold out hope for (a campaign with only) 1 or 10 winners
Put it all together: I've never been chosen as a winner for any lotteries that have 10,000 or even 100,000 winners like a GranBlue campaign, so I've got no hope for a contest that only has 1 or 10 winners.

In the app imiwa
theres both JLPT and School grades that teaches you different kanjis.
Which do I approach? or does the order not matter as long as you eventually reach the 2500 kanji required?
Matthew Smith
stop downloading dumb gimmick apps and read the guide you faggot
Robert Morris
jlpt is better.
Isaiah Lee
imiwa is a dictionary app and its jlpt course follows remembering the kanji's order, what I'm asking if does order matter?
Nolan Ross
They're like almost the same anyways. Realistically School Grades is better because JLPT test shit was based on for exam questions.
Cooper Cook
thank you anons

Is there an easy way to type a small katakana tsu after a hiragana word? I am transcribing a mango and it happens ALL THE TIME.
Pressing Alt+CapsLock T T Backspace Enter Shift+CapsLock is kinda annoying.
Gabriel Foster
If it's just a dictionary app what does it have to do with kanji order?
If you're using it to learn, then applies
Robert Scott
I think it's something like xu or xtsu on the Google IME
Can't test it since I'm on my phone
Ryan Miller
Because what I was asking wasn't about the app, as you fussed about, I asked about the kanji order and would it matter if you learn all 2k+ of them in order or not
I use imiwa dictionary so I could atleast study offline as it has stroke orders and readings
