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!

the op-ed was shocking even to a japanese man on a street like me! i'm not sure the legal matter on the writer.

one thing. good on Tramp!

2018/09/10(月) 23:06:56.87

There is nothing to say.
So I shut my mouth.

2018/09/10(月) 23:09:27.87

Good.

How about getting stiches in your mouth so you can never talk?

2018/09/10(月) 23:16:48.72

But not till the day I die.

Teaching Japanese in English is extremely difficult due to my lack of knowledge about Japanese and limitations in English.
Someone asks the difference between で and に like 家の近くに店が出来る and 家の近くで店が出来る.
We differentiate them instinctively, and thus don't know how to teach it.
So I have to look it up before teaching.

に describes a place where something exists and で describes a place where something is done.
So the former sentence is more natural.
But if we remove 家 from the sentences like 近くに店が出来る and 近くで店が出来る both become natural and only nuances change slightly.
The former emphasizes a place where a store is built while the latter focuses more on the fact that a store is built.

I'm thinking about writing this in another site but ceased to do it and instead write it in here for practicing English.
The site requires accurate explanations and decent English that alienates me...

Yua Mikami or Kirara Asuka?

Shinzo Abe or Hitler?

2018/09/11(火) 21:34:36.83

When I ask Google Assistant: "I'm hungryを日本語で", it answers "お腹があきました"...
I've never come across a person who says like that. お腹がすきました is common.

plz tell me

this time i saw many times that serena williams was called as GOAT.
so i checked the meaning and found a answer.

"Sometimes people call the player who messes up to lose the game the goat.
But the GOAT that I mean is the Greatest of All Time: G-O-A-T.
So let’s find athletes competing these days who are the Greatest of all time at what they do.
Consider New York Yankees relief pitcher Mariano Rivera."

which meaning does this case be applied??

2018/09/12(水) 00:07:30.60

Think about why you type that in all caps.
You do it to emphasize that it's an anacronym.

If you want livelier bulletin boards, just go to 4chan
where there are lots of natives and some Japanese
rather than other fishy sites.

This is kind of back of a flyer.

What language are you speaking?

2018/09/15(土) 23:36:58.03

Just so much abracadabra

2018/09/16(日) 00:29:20.38

A girl pop group performed on TV last night. They consist of several nationals who speak some Japanese.
They remind me of the importance of precise pronunciation.
I though as long as you can communicate in the language your pronunciation is okay but it's not.
A accent makes communication difficult. I shouldn't be complacent about the present situation.

Now I begin to learn Chinese whose accent is vastly different from Japanese or English. This provides me with good opportunities to think about pronunciations.

2018/09/16(日) 10:12:56.79

Fuck my brother. Hope he would be in a traffic accident and then die lol

2018/09/16(日) 10:35:47.47

I can relate to you. I want to improve my pronunciation too.; hopefully make it perfect even.
But I don't know that is necessarily the right attitude to take.
Just think about it. How much time and energy would it take to perfect your pronunciation, and by extention, to learn the A to Z of English idioms and phrasal verbs?
At leat 10,000 hours. Even more.
You also might have to learn to use English articles(a/the), modal verbs(can/will/may, etc) and so on.
And all of this is just to make it easier to communicate with NATIVE SPEAKERS, and native speakers only.
How unjust it is that we should dedicate thounsands of hours just to make them feel comfortable, not vice versa.
Besides, it's way too ridiculous to set your eyes on native speakers only, when there are tremendous numbers of English speakers out there whose mother tongue is not English.
You don't have to have native speaker's fluency to communicate with them. It is even possible that you might just baffle them with your native-like fluency.

2018/09/16(日) 11:04:20.39

too long.

2018/09/16(日) 11:27:48.86

>>779
I totally agree with you. It is a waste of time to be perfect so the target for non-native speakers should be near perfect.
Still, it takes a lot of time as you said.
The last night TV show makes me think about something that I have never cared about: pronunciation.

2018/09/16(日) 22:17:16.21

779 can start with TLDR

ID of 781 contains sex lol

2018/09/16(日) 22:47:13.19

anyone likes playing pool? I like playing pool with strangers at bar over beer

2018/09/16(日) 22:49:01.77

You know someone pee in the pool.

782 can be Too Limited to Do Reading (TLDR)

Nobody uses 'lol' anymore. It's out of date.

2018/09/17(月) 04:58:27.18

Need I say more?
Nobody that isn't a fag like you uses 'lol' anymore, lol.

**名無しさん＠英語勉強中** (CL 0H5b-cC+K) · 2018/09/17(月) 07:11:29.88

Does lol become out of date like orz?
Then how do you express your derision?

2018/09/17(月) 12:24:43.21

Nobody laughs anymore, even in a scornful way.
They've been killing each other for years with their politically correct guns.
You need not express your derision anymore, hehe.

2018/09/17(月) 13:04:15.82

Thank you for your comment.
It is difficult for non-native speakers to exude their intent so the word might be useful for them.
W, Japanese equivalent of the word, is still widely used in 5Chan.

what do you think of the term?

**名無しさん＠英語勉強中** (CL 0H5b-cC+K) · 2018/09/18(火) 09:17:07.06

Is the term "hafu" considered offensive or something?

2018/09/18(火) 13:32:26.79

"hafu" is a Japanese term like "tofu".

2018/09/18(火) 17:45:02.55

Personally I don't think hafu is an offensive word.
Nips say "half" like kind of "hafu" 'cause japanese words always end with a vowel.
That's why FAKKU is FAKKU.

I want to live in Toyosu.

2018/09/19(水) 09:57:14.03

anyone who come to this thread should set "115921" as NG word.

why.

2018/09/19(水) 10:58:23.88

It looks really pretty and peaceful. And also because Minase Inori went there is a video.

2018/09/19(水) 11:10:04.93

Toyosu is a terribly boring place. It is so inconvenient. Amusement facilities are very little there. Only pachinko is there. I would be depressed if I live there.

2018/09/19(水) 11:19:26.73

>>803
I like peaceful places. And i'm assuming you already live in Japan, so it's not as fascinating to you. But it looks like paradise compared to the US.

2018/09/19(水) 15:20:31.62

I want to move to America just because I want to get some crest white strips.

>>804
If you are a bachelor and plan to live alone, my recommendation to live in Tokyo would be Kasai or Nishikasaki.
The reason is that the rent there is reasonable.
The nearby station is lively and you can have numerous food options. Kasai station has a direct bus that goes to both Narita and Haneda airport.

2018/09/20(木) 02:52:55.78

Why is life so shit?

2018/09/20(木) 05:35:03.58

Because you are shitty. Easy as that.

2018/09/20(木) 06:04:09.72

Why are you guys learning English?

2018/09/21(金) 20:36:41.92

One of the reasons is that I'm tired of Japanese, though it's not like I hate reading or speaking Japanese.
I just want to gain a new sensation, so I'm studying English.

2018/09/21(金) 21:26:52.59

I’m learning it because I want to fight against gaijins when I go to America.

2018/09/22(土) 03:56:04.57

'cause i'm a loser.

2018/09/22(土) 09:53:55.29

Today I learned Nashi is rare in Western countries.
The call it Japanese pears while we call pears of Western origin Western pears.
Nashi is in season now but It's been a while since I last ate seiyo-nashi: Western pears.

Are you guys happy?

2018/09/22(土) 10:36:56.03

No. My gf is ignoring me since last night

I failed to answer her phone call. Obviously it was no intentional as I was taking shower when she gave me a call.
It's a very trivial thing, isn't it?
