Having far surpassed the N5 and 4, I can say that test is complete fucking dogshit.

Okay, N3-kun. Now go back to studying jouyou kanji.

It's a shit test that is in no way reflective of a person's Japanese skill.

>no way reflective of a person's ______ skill
So a test?

>mfw I discover a new chinese compound

Why do Japanese people glorify sex and violence a lot?

It's fucking weird...

I was watching a Jap porn and the girl dropped fucking candle wax all over her body...

Could any Jap respond why?

おっす、我が黒ん坊
元気してるか

>porn
>representative for anything
come on now

burgers demonize sex and nudity, but have the biggest porn industry in the world... sometimes different parts within a society have different dynamics

What is lady snowblood, battle royale, suicide circle and a bunch of other fucked up shit Japs like?

so what, there are american and european movies that are just as bad and worse

please be stupid somewhere else

Some Japanese pornography has criminal matters.
Some porn actresses have serious problems in mind and body.
In recent years,
police will move if there is a report from a porn actress.

There is also a porn company arrested by the police.
However, this movement is still limited.

Because Japanese women do not see such porn videos,
it is difficult for criminals to be detected.

There is literally nothing wrong with 灸.

>what is Mordum

Yeah but these were popular films, unlike those shitty american ones.

A LOT of Japs liked it. That's why it's fucked up.

What brought you here?

many people love zombie movies or 28 Days later, where people get eaten alive, mutilated and all kinds of other shit, and that's a popular genre or at least it used to be
I don't know why you have some weird fixation on japan when we're arguably even worse

that being said, there's also a cultural difference

in japan there's a stronger distinction between public and privacy... you can have your weird hobbies and fetishes and shit as long as you don't let it interfere with your public appearance and behaviour, they don't psychologize everything to death like we do
I'm speaking here about tendencies of course, you'll probably find lots of examples for the opposite

How are you supposed to pronounce 代表?
It sounds almost as if they're making an "sh"( ʃ ) sound but with like a weird lisp noise.

>popular = fucked up
Kill yourself, you're from the country of favela funk.

try doing it like that that shi sound but with the tip of your tongue curled, touching the area bellow your lower front teeth while keeping slight overbite

...

god, i wish that were me

変態野郎

>working through tobira when I encounter this sentence
I don't think I've even read a sentence half this long until now. Maybe it's just because I know nothing about baseball that makes this harder to understand.

>A pro Japanese baseball player for 9 years who is now a player in the American MLB answered in an interview, "Batters breaking their own bat after a strikeout, pitchers throwing their gloves in lockers after being hit (????) are things I've been surprised to see, and thinking about the people on the receiving end of these acts (????), I absolutely cannot do such a a thing myself."

Any corrections for this?

>and thinking about the people on the receiving end of these acts (????)
I think he actually means the people that made the bats, gloves and such

>want to read manga
>can't be fucked to memorize useless words like Southern land and demon world

What do I do?

That makes more sense but what's the くれた trying to convey with it, then? Apparently one of the meanings of 作る is "commit (a sin, etc)" so that's where I got my original interpretation from.

Also not sure about "pitchers throwing their gloves in lockers after being hit", unless 打つ can also mean giving a kind of strike (foul) in sports in which case it makes a bit more sense.

> after being hit (????)

んん?
「ヒットを」 が省略されているということですか? (´・ω・`)
(間違っていたらすいません)

日本では、ピッチャーが「ヒットを打たれた」というのを省略して、
ただ単に「打たれた」ということが多いです

打たれた = (ヒットを)打たれた

ご参考までに (´・ω・`)

~してくれるって英語でなんて言うの?

> 私のためにしてくれた、わざわざしてくれた、というニュアンスを出すのに、
> kindly という副詞が便利です。
> 動詞の直前に来ます。
> 例文は「彼は私に英語を教えてくれた(私が英語を上達する手伝いをしてくれた)」。

> 何かを買ってくれた、奢ってくれた、と言いたい場合は特に何もつけず、
> She bought me a lunch. 彼女はランチをご馳走してくれた。
> でOKです。

今日は鏡開き
切るではなく小槌で割っていた

子孫繁栄を餅で表している

>but what's the くれた trying to convey with it, then?
he's basically saying the people that made the gloves, bats. etc. for them or were so kind to produce them kind of feeling
it's not really different from that verb+くれてありがとう kind of construction for example

>Also not sure about "pitchers throwing their gloves in lockers after being hit",
2bh I no nothing about baseball, but maybe he literally justs means getting hit, because I assume this hurts rather badly, but again, no idea

What's with the 気を in sentences like
>気を取り直して素足のまま、板張りの台所へ。
I really don't understand that word/phrase.

there's not much to memorize when you know the reading
魔界 the meaning of the word and the kanji are as straightforward as it gets

「気を取り直して」 is ...

kotobank.jp/word/気を取り直す-471912

> 元気を取り戻すため、心のもち方を変える。

元""" 気 """を""" 取り戻す """ため、心のもち方を変える。
Changing heart mind to get one's second wind
