Nandattendayo!
(what was that about) ouo coda coda coda tell me my pokemon game really is teaching japanese x'D if you watch the tv on the game the one channel and show claims to teach japanese OxO |
Actually I think (though I'm not certain) that it's "nani yatten da yo" which would mean "what are you doing?!",
Breaking it down: First, "nani" is "what". After that, you have "yatten da". This is "yaru" ("to do", rude) in -te form (making it "doing"), plus -n da for emphasis. And then "yo" for even more emphasis. Edit: *does a bit of research* It's "yatten da". |
The only thing that comes to mind to say right here is.. I know nani kanji x'D
My stomach hurts to much at the moment so nothing is computing XD |
That said, you may be getting "nan da tte" mixed up with it. This is "nan da" (casual form of "nani desu") which means "what is it?" plus tte for emphasis.
This "tte" can also be said or written as "to" (which is technically more formal) and it's the same tte/to that you hear in phrases like "___ tte nan desu ka?" ("what is ___?", polite) or "___ to moushimasu" ("I am called ___", formal) and functions vaguely like a verbal quotation mark, although it's hard to really explain. Edit: And don't confuse "da tte" with "datte"; they're two different things. :P |
xD I typed it out as it showed up on my pokemon game.. my AMERICAN pokemon game xD
If you watch the one channel on tv on the english verison there is a show that supposedly teaches you phrases |
Wait. Seriously? XD *rubs head* Okay, that's awful.
|
Ahahaha x'D I know. I had to ask if what they said this was, was what it really was or not xp

I know about Koukan Talk; it was in B1/W1. I just don't watch TV in the game that often and the few times I DID see it come on, it was actually right.
|
i never watched the tv before x'D I was only doing it for the tv metal in B2/W2 xD now I'ma be watching it lots

So the latest Homestuck update includes a lot of Japanese.
It's pretty kanji-dense and you can't highlight the text to copy-paste it so I couldn't look it up very easily, and what I did understand looks like it's written by someone who knows enough Japanese to make a Google Translate reverse-translation readable, but sound pretty awkward in Japanese itself. It's also rather sexually graphic, so if you don't like that kind of thing, don't go try to read it. ^^() |
what was homestruck again? ^^,

I don't really read webcomics oxo unless its cianide and happiness

ok so I am gonna try to turn some Romaji into Kanji xD lets see how I do *its easier then turning kanji into english xp*
What I am working on is my new signature. I always take a song I am into and put my favorite verse into my siggy.. since this song is new the lyrics haven't been put out yet i can only find the 1minute version in romaji xp. I'm also going off of what i can hear too.. cause half the romaji have 2 different words. like the one i found on dA had tsukui.. but its sukui.. TV Nihon had dase but it sounds like dassou. and some places wherelike kioku roots.. someone had kioku no roots but you don't here no.. oxo, oh and at hanpa nee ze.. someone had it hanpa janee ze.. but i don't hear the ja and neither did tv nihon.. MAGIC TIME! TRICK janai! mahou HERO hanpa nee ze, kioku ROOTS mogurikonde, kibou wo sukuidassou! Magic Time, It's no Trick, The magic hero is no pushover, Dig into the roots of memory and save that hope! (translation is from TV Nihon.) MAGIC TIME, TRICKじゃない! 魔法HERO半端ねえぜ！ 記憶ROOTS潜り坤で希望を救いだっそう！ made the font bigger just to see the kanji >< oxo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhwJT...eature=related thats the song its from but i couldn't find TN's subtitled version =w= |
I forget if I've posted these before.
履かなく舞い散る雪を見ていた (hakanaku maichiru yuki wo miteita) 最後の景色は白く切なくて (saiko no keshiki wa shiroku setsunakute) 凍えた指先二度と君に届けて (kooeta yubisaki nido to kimi ni todokete) 二人の足跡 残らず消えてく (futari no ashiato nokorazu kieteku) "I was watching the fleetingly falling snow" (I had to look up "maichiru") "The last scenery was white and painful" (I had to look up "keshiki") "Let my frozen fingertips reach you a second time, and" ("todokeru" means "to deliver"; it's used here poetically to mean "reach out") "our footsteps will disappear without leaving a trace" ("nokorazu" more literally would mean "without leaving anything behind" but I've adapted for poetry) |
I might pull out my L'Arc~EN~Ciel cds and get the booklets out to see if i can't translate them.

This thread is so amazing! It could really help me improve on -my- japanese. One technique that I find helps with specifically kana is using flash cards. Or use index cards and play a sort of memory game. One way that could help is to remember the kana itself is trying to relate the kana with a latin letter or number. But after a while, you would want to stray away from that so you can try to remember it yourself. I only know about 75% of the basic hiragana, and I haven't even started on the katakana yet :P |
xD I got my kana down though some of the katakana gets confusing at times. After memorizing the stuff to some extent, reading kid stories really helps :3 I have a link up there some where to a site with some.
|
I'm scared to learn kanji... I know that most people will put hiragana next to kanji, in the case that people don't understand it... So that reassures me xD When I go to college, I may take a Japanese class in order to go over anything I may have missed when teaching myself :3 |
I'm trying to find a Online School that I can afford XD
Kanji.. I'm learning that little by little xD going by what grade schoolers learn first. >3 |

That's what I'm doing with just about everything xD Just listening to toddler songs, constantly repeating hiragana until it gets into your head. Yeah, that works :D Maybe you could help me sometime, you seem more advanced in it than I am :3 |
xD I'm not advanced at all.
Coda suggests that translating Lyrics helps people learn :3 it does help that and I play some japanese games by emulators >.>, |

That does help a lot :3 I know a lot of catchy and popular japanese songs. But I've noticed that, of course, those songs use slang and skip some grammar, as most songs do. So what I am doing is just learning it all, -then- learning slang xD |
Yea the slang will probably get to me later on too..
I did a reverse translation for my siggy xD the theme song for Kamen Rider Wizard, i couldn't find the Kanji Lyrics so what I did was take the romaji and english translation and make the Kanji my self ouo |
I have never heard of that before :o What is it? And also, on the topic of japanese games, I saved up money for a Super Famicom, and it comes next week :3 I am so excited, though I don't know which games to get. But I'm hoping that it will help me understand it all a little xD |
I've played Okami Den japanese and some of the newer pokemon games in japanese xD
Kamen Rider? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamen_Rider_Series |
Awesome :3 Yeah, I know a few Nintendo consoles that have games in both english -and- japanese, so I may just buy some of those. And Kamen Rider looks pretty cool xD |
I really gotten into Kamen Rider a lot lately.
I also watch a lot of anime too. That helps figuring out grammar. Anime, Japanese Dramas, Music and Games. |
Ooh, me too :3 Which animes have you watched? I have only ever seen Death Note (In japanese), Ouran High School Host Club, Clannad, and a few others... I'm not -obsessed- over anime xD |
oxo, *thinks*
Sailor Moon, Full Metal Alchemist, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, Full Metal Panic Fumofuu, Monochrome Factor, Loveless, Saiyuki, Burst angel, Blue Gender, Inuyasha, Bleach, and a lot more I can't remember at the moment xD |
._. Wow. I've only ever HEARD of about... 3 of those ;~; |
I'm an Otaku ouo,
|
I see that xD Well that's cool :3 I don't really know of any anime that has a good story... Except for Death Note. That's a -great- story. Recommend any animes? :3 |
Anything I just listed? xD Fruits Basket had a good story thing is .. they made it before the manga was finished so it doesnt follow the full true story.
UFO Princess Valkryie.. .HACK//Sign was good.. um.. Disgaea was cute... @o@ |
Well, I meant any that I actually -knew- what it was about xD I've heard of the Hack one before, though again, never followed it... And now I'm tempted to watch Disgaea ;~; I love the cute ones. There's one show that I am actually ashamed of watching xD It's called Chi's Sweet Home, and it is SO CUTE. It's so cute, I even got my 27 year old friend into it :D Though, it is just a show, not an anime. But you should watch it just because :D |
xD we used to have a staff member named Chi!
|
Cute xD What japanese movies are there that are good? :3 |
