Hey!!! All you NEETs, nerds, YouTube link spammers, pedophiles, neo-Nazis,
Yukorin enthusiasts, Nanako SOS admirers, Part-Time-Preachers,
Diplomats' spoiled sons, losers who can't remember Kanji characters,
Big-boobs fans, Weeaboo from around the world, learners of Japanese
who are too lazy to update their Japanese blogs very often, cunning
linguists, stupid fan girls of Johnny's Boys, Touhou pirates, and
that electrical super-gay who suffers from mental disease - This is your thread!
Let's hope the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon!

We all wish for permanent world peace!

Thanks.
It's been a week or so since the name 2chan was changed to 5chan.
Rumor has it that it's to avoid a lawsuit risk, but from the perspective of brand
loyalty, that was in my opinion, the worst decision. The name 2chan has special
place in us, what's called "2channelers." 2chan have underground feel to it.
It's not, hey just change 2 to 5, then everything will be all right kind of thing.
It's said 2chan is getting less populated because of the rise of other social media's popularity.
The name change could spur the trend even more. Are we 5channelers now?
Heck, NO.

japanese teenagers seem to tend to buy iphone even when they actually want to buy a different smartphone.
"peer pressure" is what made them do so and i think that it is a bit ridiculous.
if they continue to live their daily lives in such a way in various aspects,
they will eventually be deprived of their natural ability to decide which way to go in future.
they should get what they want to get.

Just enjoy it. If you take a picture, you're a creep.

In >>27, it would probably be better to write, "I think you should avoid fat rather than carbs."
The two ways you wrote it, can actually both be used in English, and they have slightly different meanings.
I don't think either one is really right for this situation though.
If you say "I don't think you should x" then you're saying "x" isn't a good idea, but you aren't giving
another suggestion and this isn't a strongly worded statement.
If you say, "I think you shouldn't y" then you are saying that doing "y" is a bad idea, and they should avoid it.
That's a stronger statement, but the difference is subtle. Like the difference between "bad" and "not good."

Here's an example: I don't like sweet potatoes. I don't DISLIKE them, but I don't really enjoy them. Occasionally
I eat sweet potatoes but I don't request them to be made. I don't hate sweet potatoes, but I don't like them either.

when I thought it over, the meanings of the two was a little different, as you said.

A. I think you shouldn't take fat rather than carbohydrate. あなたは炭水化物よりもむしろ脂肪を摂るべきではないと私は思う
B. I don't think you should take far rather than carbohydrate. あなたは炭水化物よりもむしろ脂肪を摂るべきであると私は思わない

In this case, A is rather right after all, ということですよね?

I have thought it was the wrong sentence that is like "I think that you + verb + not " instead "I don't think that you + verb"

but it's on a case by case basis, なんですね。


これで意味通じるかなあxD

I've heard that in some Europian countries there are many groups of thieves

while another member of the gang snatches the tourist's bag.

I like to rub it with salt and pepper on both sides, and then cook it for a few minutes per side
in a really really hot skillet. I like to use my cast iron pan because aluminum ones don't get hot enough.

Your food looks pretty tasty too, but the egg yolk looks a little weird.
I have that meal probably once a week or so. The store marks down their bento stuff around the same
time I get off work.

a kind of coffee drink called "goth latte" seems to be hot selling in the uk and australia.
this contains activated charcoal which is very good for human health as it gets rid of toxic substance from human body.
the color combination of black & white also looks attractive for me.

Now ask them: “What does the cow drink?”

‘MILK’ will be the swift answer they provide!

i didn't know that having your skin tatooed has a risk of several serious diseases.
i don't intend to try tatoo myself, i was simply stunned at the fact.
i guess most of young people didn't think carefully before having their skins tatooed.

Most English speakers say "shit, shit, fuck, fuck" every few minites
Shit means クソ!(糞) in Japanese. 糞 is crap..
Japanease also sometimes use クソ!when things didnt go well
that is, these two words are totally the same in meaning and a way to use. That's fun :)

I went to the Japanese market yesterday, but they didn't have any transparent tea.
However, it may be that things are a little up-in-the-air right now, because they are remodeling
the store, so they might not have everything out.
Maybe they'll have it soon. I'm still optimistic!

Amazon doesn't have much anime for me, but between Hulu, Crunchyroll, and Netflix, I can watch
most things. Then there are always torrents too. I like using legal services if they're convenient

On October 12th, Thursday, President Donald Trump tweeted about the mass
shooting in Las Vegas. He said something like the tragedy last Sunday, but the
tragic incident happened on October 1st.

From my (wrong?) point of view, "last Sunday" at the point of the tweet was supposed
to mean October 8th. But then again, a week starts from Sunday, so October 8th was
this week's Sunday, not last Sunday at the point of the president's tweet?
I'm really confused.

My question is, when you say "last Sunday" on October 12th, Thursday, what date
does it mean?

i drank the transparent "premium morning tea" at last.
it really smelled and tasted just as milk tea.
if you change the bottle for another one, everybody must believe it is water.
you shouldn't forget this drink contains caffeine as milk tea does.

Good politicians do exist, but they don't get covered by the media
nearly as much as bad ones.

Also, I didn't know this until relatively recently, but the good ones
in the LDP have been persuading Abe to adjust the course to the
right direction. This started early this year, and they seem to have
some limited but positive success. I am counting on them for further
persuasion.

We have no chice but LDP as the Japanese liberal politicians are too stupid
One leader of an opposition party, she is an avid supporter of pacifist Constitution,
was once asked on TV, "If the enemy invades Japan, what would you do? "
she replied,
"I will resolve the conflict with words",
"If they are well armed ? you fight with them? "
"No, I dont want to kill anybody, I will rather to be killed than to kill someone "
then she has no idea to protect her old parents or little chidren.
She is ok to die due to her beliefs but parents and children wouldn't die
She didn't realize it because she cared only about herself
Lack of imagination, this is a true picture of Japanese liberal politicians

I don't care about that kind of leftist stupidity at this point.
The increasing number of foreigners is the biggest threat. It needs to be stopped.

And this influx of foreigners is caused by corporate greed and not leftist ideologies.
Unlike the insane western liberals, I think the Japanese leftist parties would actually
decrease the number of incoming foreigners (cheap labor).

I still reluctantly lean toward the LDP because the leftist parties probably have many
stinky policies, and there are some good LDP members trying to stop Abe from obeying
the corporate masters.

But if Abe continues to obey and let in more foreigners,
then I think the Diet Building shoud be nuked by North Korea.

besides I don't make a contract to use the telephone line.
Can that be of any help for you?

It's been a while〜
I was at a bar a few months ago, and someone I was with ordered fish and chips.
The fish was like McDonald's fish fillet. And the chips were actually potato chips
(the kind from bags, crisps), instead of normal chips.

can i ask you a question?

This is a sentence from press release of Mofa(ministry of foreign affairs).

「President Trump, together with Prime Minister Abe, is also scheduled to meet with family members of the abductees by North Korea.」

but this is after revised.Original was below

「 President Trump is also scheduled to meet with family members of the abductees who had been abducted by North Korea together with Prime Minister Abe. 」

foreign Twitters said 「Mofa needs a new editor.」,「Abe wasnot abducted.」

Does that mean original sentence was interpreted as Abe was abducted too?
Is thete no room for us to understand the meaning of original sentence as revised one?

I don't think not a lot of people interpret like the way these Internet critiques did,
but since it's an official statement from our ministry,
leaving little room for misinterpretation is crucial.

By the way, "abductees by ..." in the revised statement is a bid odd to me.
I would say something like "Japanese citizens abducted by"
but maybe it's a matter of taste. I am not a native english speaker.

You seem to be just fluent enough to make yourself understood, so you'd probably be better off finding a group of native friends to talk to.
Native children learn by listening to the people around them and copying their speech patterns; English textbooks can help you refine your knowledge of the language, though.

Of course, you're probably going to have to turn to the internet to find people to speak with.
A lot of people are using a chat program called Discord these days, and it may be your best option; it supports both text and voice.
Once you've got that, you can go to discord.me to find public servers to join. Thankfully, the vast majority of them seem to be English.
You probably won't attain perfect English just from chatting online, but it will help you become a little more comfortable using it.
It's also nice to have a diversion from textbooks.

Good luck.

I guess that usage is more common than what I had in mind. I was thinking of using it as a reaction
when someone tells you something. The way he did it is more common, so I don't know why I didn't
think of it. In his case, it means like, "If you thought that stuff was bad, this is even crazier." or something.
So it's not too uncommon to use it when you're talking about a list of things like that, and you want to
make a point to say how the next thing you're about to say is the most extreme.

Don't say it every day, but it's not super rare.

Going to gym is not my cup of tea.
First of all, it is an American custom. They eat a lot and actually there're lots of fat people in U.S.
Look at that the size of a single serving. Now wonder they get fat. For American, working out is to
burn the excess of calories they intake through binge eating.

On the other hand, Japanese foods are healthy and are served in the right portion, so you don't need
to do exercise. I'd say people who go to gym is fooled by marketing or ads that try to
spread images that going to gym is cool. Walking on treadmill is the most ridiculous thing to do.
That's what hamsters do. You should walk outdoor, sensing the nature, feeling nice breeze, instead of breath in the
the smell of sweats of gymgoers indoor.

You can build your muscles without using machines at gyms. You can do push-ups, sit-ups,
and other exercises using your own weight, not relying on machines. The time it takes to go to and
from gym is a total waste. Drinking protein is what fools do. Nothing is better than balanced diet.
If you're not a body builder, you don't need to take protein pills and drinks.

Look at famous people's interracial marriages, wife being white and husband black or asian, then you'll get my point.

i just watched the music video of "flying get" performed by akb48 on youtube.
i'm afraid that i wasn't excited at the song at all and i yawned a big yawn while watching.
1 thing i was surprised at is that this song was released more than 6 years ago.

I'm a liar. To be honest, I'm chubby. I lay on a couch the moment I finish eating
dinner. I often eat oily snacks between meals. You can tell why I get chubby.
You can punch my ab and it wouldn't hurt at all, because my thick layerof fat absorb
the impact. Fat works better than six pack when it comes to self defense.

You are correct that part of the reason I like yoga is because of the pretty girls it tight clothes.
However, that's not the entire reason. It's realaxing, and nice excercise sometimes.

I didn't mean to confuse you with "running into the ocean," so I'm sorry about that. It wasn't supposed

I know what you mean. I'm learning Japanese and have the same problem.
I'm not terrible at it, I can at least hold a conversation or express myself enough so that someone who speaks little English can understand, but I'm just an apathetic person who doesn't have any opinions.
It's bad enough that I barely say anything in English, but in Japanese I just often don't know how to express myself even when I want to.
And I feel like just talking to Japanese people, them knowing that I'm a foreigner who "doesn't understand" makes it so much harder to become friends with anyone.
Like people wouldn't want to talk to me anymore once they've heard all the "novelties" from the strange world known as "anywhere but Japan."

Not really. I've been studying for less than a year.
I've made some good progress, I guess, but I'm never happy with it.
It's way harder for me to have a verbal conversation than a written one, for that matter.
When you're just typing you can take your time to think out everything and look up a word if you need to.
When speaking you don't have that luxury.

>(A)friend(s) means 友達 literally, but I feel some differences between a friend and 友達
I don't quite get what you're getting at here.
Maybe there are just cultural differences that define what a "friend" is.

Do you mean as a sentence on its own? Neither would be correct.
"Take *it* off" ("it" being the jacket, if it's obvious from context) would be fine.
"Put off" doesn't work. You *put* on clothes, but you *take* them off.
The only instance I can think of where "put off" would be when used as an expression.
"I was put off by the color of her shirt" - meaning "I really didn't like the color of her shirt" for example.

Yes, I believe soccer is the most popular sport here.
I heard about the Sweden vs. Italy world cup match, but I didn't know we won until you told me just now.

Really. Have you ever heard of Ibrahimovic, world famous FW player?
As you can see, he is valcan and islamic descent. he looks some kind of white but
pretty different from average swedes.
Does that something to do with swedish indifference to national squad?

If you just tell someone "take off" then unless you're pointing to their jacket,
it could be interpreted as you telling them to get lost (that is to say, to go away.)
You should say "take IT off" or "take THAT off" if you don't want to sound vague.
And if you want to make it a little nicer, you can add a "please" at the start or end of the sentence.

I have heard of Ibrahimovic, but only through news headlines and the likes.
I have very, very little interest in soccer, so naturally I know very little about it as well.

As for our supposed nationwide indifference to a multinational team,
I don't know for sure. But since Sweden seems to be dead set on being extremely politically correct,
I doubt that even people who aren't okay with it would want to speak out for fear of facing repercussions.

It is very tough for me to learn those phrasal verbs by heart because in general, each one has a lot of different meanings.
On top of that, I'm often at my wit's end for what is best when I choose one from among those which have similar meanings.

Japanese also sort of has them in the form of verbs such as 書き取る、走り出す、
and 飛び出す just to name a few.
But don't worry about having a hard time learning them, because to me,
these kinds of verbs don't make any sense either. When I first saw 引き取る
I saw "draw take" which I thought meant "pull in" or "reel in" and then it turned
out it meant "to take over/take custody of" which was a total surprise to me.

Expressions are another thing that are annoying for learners of any language.
Especially pinpointing the exact nuance of it. An English learner might find out
"oh my god" is an expression of surprise, but might not know you can also use it
in basically any scenario. You can use it when you're angry, when you're scared,
when you're bored, when you're happy, you name it.

I'm not a native speaker, though. I'm Swedish, but I've been speaking English
fluently for about 8 years now.
Although Nordic languages and English are extremely closely related,
so some of the most fluent non-natives you'll find are from Northern Europe.

I'm glad my little anecdote was interesting. But honestly, it must be just as hard
for Japanese people to learn English, since the two languages are basically total opposites.
Just today I thought about how hard it must be to wrap your head around the difference between
"in" and "on," especially in fluent usage. We say we're on a train, on a plane, and on a bike,
but we say we're in a house, in a car, in a good mood, in a rush, and so on.
I imagine it must also be really hard to get used to all the articles (a, an, the, etc.)
and needing to almost always use "I" and "you" when these are omitted almost all the time in Japanese.

Your English is perfectly understandable. The only mistake I can see is
"I've never thought about how hard foreign people learn Japanese"
because I assume you meant "how hard *it is for* foreign people *to* learn Japanese."
If not, then it's still a correct sentence, but it sounds weird. It implies all foreign people who learn Japanese
study it hard, and that you thought about how hard they study. Like I said, it's not wrong, but it sounds weird.

If you have any other questions about the English language then I'd be happy to answer them.

I admit (that) IKEA *is better* at *making* wooden furniture *than any other home center*,
but all other stuff(/everything else) *at* Nitori is superior to IKEA's counterparts.

The "that" is optional but excluding it is a little colloquial, likewise "all other stuff" is also
pretty colloquial while "everything else" is more formal in style.
There's nothing wrong with being colloquial, but "excel," "superior," and "counterpart"
are all more formal/less colloquial words. Mixing the styles isn't wrong, but it's very much
like writing 「ニトリのやつはIKEAのやつより上手いであります」

(Pardon me if I got that wrong, I just wanted to try to illustrate the difference if possible.)

I thank God for letting me meet a person who seems to be friendly and cheerful. lol

So, you are Swedish. Speaking of Sweden, my knowledge toward your country is limited to the one most ordinary Japanese people have.
Having said that, there are two things I'm most interested in about it.
One is that although you country is famous for its high-walfare system, what is a negative aspect about that ?
That's because I've learned that your people tend to get divorced easily.
And the other is how you treat old people when they get terminally ill because I personally think the concept of " vitalism" is now prevailing
in Japanese siciety, which is " the longer you live, the better it is."

>One is that although you country is famous for its high-walfare system, what is a negative aspect about that ?
The first would be that it's very easy to abuse. You get quite a lot of money, especially if you live with your parents,
and if you meet certain criteria (for example, if you have a mental illness) you may not need to work at all to earn that money.
So there is a decent portion of the population that simply abuse the system and get money without working at all.
This is EXTREMELY prominent with immigrants who come here and simply act like parasites, never bothering to properly
learn the language or adopt to the culture, let alone work.

>That's because I've learned that your people tend to get divorced easily.
I don't know why that is, but it seems plausible. Divorce rates are going up in every western country, but if they're particularly
bad here then that might be because women almost always receive the best outcome from a divorce. They take 50% of
a pre-divorce household's assets and income and then (if they get custody of any children) they can also demand alimony
from the husband. Maybe divorce rates are also higher because we are a very atheist country that don't see marriage as anything
holy that shouldn't be broken because God doesn't want us to.

>And the other is how you treat old people when they get terminally ill
In the west, while we do treat the elderly nicely or at least decently, we definitely don't
show them the same level of respect as Japanese people do.
I believe it's very common (not in every case, but still common) for old people to be put into
retirement homes so they'll be cared for by the staff there. I don't know whether the old person's
pension pays for the care or if their children pay for it, but it definitely isn't common for old people
to live with their children and grandchildren here.

They're all in the same language family; the Germanic language family.
However, I think Swedish and English are much more similar than German and either of the other two.
German has grammatical genders and is, in my opinion, much more complex than English.
However, because they're all related and share some vocabulary, if you speak any of these three
languages then learning one of the other ones should be easy.
That said, I don't speak German as I don't have any interest in the language.

Thank you for the compliment, however I would not be confident as a teacher since my path to
English fluency is primarily through exposure and knowing what "feels" right rather than the
technicalities that make languages work as they work, so if someone were to ask me questions
that involved linguistic terms beyond my current (basic) understanding I would be completely
unable to answer them.
Furthermore, I can only speak Japanese at roughly an intermediate level, and I'd probably make
many mistakes while doing so.

It must be like the relationship between Japanese and Koreans.
Both can easily master the other language because of grammatical similarities.
By the way,your Japanese is not in intermediate level but in completely advanced level.
I have to admit that your Japanese is far better than my English as a second language to the extent that it is hard to believe that you are non-japanese.

On a radio program, one japanese university professor was talking about his experience.

He said "take off" in his class. Then one foreign student, probably from eastern europe corrected a
mistake and taught him "put off" ,laughing.
"Take off" would mean "fly from a runway" in that case .

Something didn't seem right for me and I looked it up on the dictionary and found out "take off"
seemed to be correct.
From his story, it's not clear wheter he said just "take off" or "take off objective (for example,
coat)"
So I wanted to confirm if "put off" makes sense when it's used as intransitive verb.

>>911
take off your coat○
put off your coat×

how about
take off ?
put off?

All in all, even English speaking Europeans sometimes make a mistake.
Japanese are not confident about English, so the proffessor assumed he made a mistake.

If you just say "put off" or "take off" by itself without more to the sentence, then "put off" doesn't
mean anything, and the only way to interpret "take off" is telling the person to go away, just like
our Swedish friend said.
If you say "take it off," it is colloquially understood to mean "take your clothes off."

I can't think of a situation where a single phrase could be confused for either taking off clothes, or
flying in an airplane.

The best way to improve writing skills is paraphrase the sentences in grammar books.

By the way, "spent" can also be used and the sentence is correct, however the meaning
is slightly different. If you say "spent" then you already went through the whole day with
just sleeping.
If you say "spend," then you have already been sleeping in the day, but it also means you're
still in the middle of doing that, too.

Don't worry too much about spelling errors. Even if you misspell something
and end up making it into another word, people who are fluent in a language
can correct those errors in their head and figure out what you meant.
And in the worst case when the spelling really does make it hard to tell what
you're trying to say, we can always just ask you to clarify what word you meant.
You can't learn a language without making a lot of mistakes. Believe me, I know.

Even over the net, even when you can speak decent Japanese and he can speak decent English,

make foreign friends too.

But I'm a little sad knowing that it won't last. There's been a trend the last few years
where the snow melts just after a few days, then we have long periods without any
snow. And since I plan on going to Tokyo again this year during the period where
we're most likely to see snow that sticks around, I bet I won't be seeing much more snow than this.

"Put off" is also a phrasal verb but it has a completely different meaning than what you have stated; it means to postpone, leave till/for later, procrastinate, delay, etc.

>Swedish and English are much more similar than German
As a native English speaker who doesn't know German or Swedish, German definitely sounds closer to English than Swedish to me.
It could just be the shared vocab or the lack of exposure to Swedish,
but there are times when I hear a German sentence and can almost decipher it whereas I can't say the same for Swedish.

>>912
I can see an instance where "take off" could be interpreted as a command to take an airplane off, but it would need to be in the context of aviation. For example a VIP passenger telling a pilot to take off.
Of course such a situation is really rare, and I'm not surprised if a native speaker couldn't think it up.
As a side note, "take off" can be generalized to mean to depart. "We're taking off" doesn't strictly have to mean that an airplane is taking off; it could mean that a boat is leaving port or a group is about to leave.

Oh yeah, you're right. I know "put off" can be used to mean "postpone something"
but I was thinking of it in a context where you'd only say "put off" and nothing else.
I know "be put off by" isn't a verbal phrase either, but it's the only other instance I could
think of where "put off" means anything.

I can roughly understand some German sentences as well, but the average English-only
speaker might have an easier time understanding German due to exposure they may have
gotten from it being spoken in countless WW2 movies and such. At the very least, they'll
be more familiar with how German sounds than how Swedish sounds, so they can adjust a
little to the radically different pronunciation and try to pick out words here and there.
As for the vocab, both English and Swedish share a lot of borrowed vocabulary from German.
