Does anyone around here know what "fusianasan" was originally supposed to mean?
fushianasn = fushiana + san "san" is a term of endearment .
Fushiana(節穴)=Knothole
There is a part that is overcrowded of the annual ring by the ｄrug product tree
and discolors to tea brown.
It is a place where the tree branch has grown. We call this part Ki no Fushi（木の節）.
This hard part might be sometimes missed and the hole be open. 節穴=Knothole
It is "Hole not useful" or "Hole of which should not be. "
As examples often used Fushiana(節穴）.
・"Are your eyes knotholes?（お前の目は節穴か！）"＝Only you have two hollows and can't see the truth anything.
・Hushiana Nozoki （節穴覗き）＝peepig through the hole
Please imagine "fushianasan" meaning from above mentioned.

What means ヒダヒダ/hidahida?
Example: 若いヒダヒダ
Is it related to ひだい(fat)?
>>235
Mr./Ms.Sling's question, the answer is always the difficult one. LOL ^ 。^；
"ヒダヒダ" is not in the loan word and onomatopoeic though this ia writen by the katakana.
ヒダヒダ＝ヒダ×２
ヒダ⇒ひだ＝襞＝Plait/Fold
Crease such as skirts
Thing that seems to be folded thinly. ←Have you seen the inside of cow's stomach?
But in your case "Example: 若いヒダヒダ",
It will mean a part of the body that the man doesn't have. ⇒"Inner lip（小○唇）"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Though neither Hidai nor Hidahida are related immediately, indirectly.................
彼女の下腹はヒダイ（肥大)化してヒダヒダに為っていた。
She had the abdomen in Hidahida for the expanding fat
>>236 Thank you very much. ^_^
全文載せろよ。日本語は文脈で意味が決まるのに

What is ドボン?
>>238
ドボンDobon /ドボーンDoborn is originally onomatopoeic that has come from the sound when
the object (chiefly human body) drops(dives) into the water.
Dobon is also in the name of card game. It is declared "Dobon" when hand cards becoms a win.
okay, cos on a certain animator's oekaki site, there's this rule:
書き込む前にログはなるべく読もう。
ネタがかぶるとドボンだよ！
Does it basically mean "Look at the log of past entries before you submit something. It's lame when you're repeating someone else! (as in, your neta [content/joke] has already been done recently)"
So then it has the same meaning as 萎える?
ネタがかぶると、ドボンだよ！
If you take overlapped theme, you will become in a miserable situation !
萎える
Please imagine the state after you fire the owned pistol at the lower half of your body,if you are a man.
"bust" of blackjack is "dobon" in Japanese.
I know what the literal meaning of 萎える is, but doesn't it usually mean something's lame (like 寒い（冗談） and こける?)
I think I understand what is ドボン now.
「萎える（naeru）] is often useed as the antonym of 「萌える(moeru)」 on the web.
Please think the meaning of "Gone into the tank" or "It came not to have a mind to continue. "
Of course,I believe you know the meaning of 「萌える」is not the original meanings.
*Original meaning of 「萌える」＝"The plant puts out the bud","The leaf grows thick"
Yep, I know what moeru means. So naeru means that something tried to be moe but failed most terribly. I see. Thank you.
Another one: what is 電波アニメ referring to?
電波アニメ refers to all kinds of lame anime that is permitted to be broadcasted on terrestrial TV network.
OK, thank you very much!
>>248
In this case 電波 means crazy.

What is "shatsufuru"?
That should be a small ツ, it's the katanata for "shuffle"
bukkoki- please give me the meaning of
I'm not sure of:
願ったり、叶ったりどす。
I translate it as:
"I hope you are satisfied!"
or maybe:
"I hope you got your wish!"
Which one is it?
No. That means I got I wish.
And どす is a dialect of Kyoto.
×I wish
○my wish
>>259-260 Thanks!
I'd like someone to tell me what you feel about the english sentence I got from
an anime's subtitles unlicensed yet.
"Human men are rougher than I realized."
The original japanese lines of it is 人間の雄は想像以上に下劣ね。.
My questions are
terms, though.
3. Doesn't the meaning of "human" and "men" overlap?
4. If I write "Human males" instead of it, what do you feel about it?
The character speaking is not a human, and got the impression of human from
only a man. In addition she has a pride. The translater may be not a native english
speaker, but i don't know much about it.
I'm grad if you modify my wrong english, too. Thanks
I found a mistake so I modify it by myself.
grad -> glad
Sorry for writing many times.
>>262 "Human men are rougher than I realized." doesn't sound like good English to me.
人間の雄は想像以上に下劣ね, I would translate as "The human male is vile beyond imagination, isn't it?" or "It seems that human males are beyond sordid." or "It's unbelievable how nasty those male humans are."
>Isn't "than I expected" commoner or more natural than "than I realized"?
Different meanings. Besides, none of these are in the original sentence.
>Why is the "Human men" plural?
"The human male" can mean every human male, or it can mean a single human male. "Human males" can mean every human male, or it can mean a group of human males.
>Doesn't the meaning of "human" and "men" overlap?
Human is the race. Men can be the race, or it can be the males only. That's why it's a bad idea to put "human men" together, it's confusing.
>If I write "Human males" instead of it, what do you feel about it?
Much better.
>>265 Thank you a lot for replying. They're helpful.
I may ask some more about the sentence again, thanks.

What mean "I do only is ～" ?
I suppose it means 私は～しただけです.
>>276 It doesn't sound like good English, it looks like there are missing words.
"do" is first person, "is" is third person. The subject for "is" is missing.
Maybe 'what I do only is ~~'
"what i do is only ~"
All I <i>do</i> is _

Why do some people call anime "anume" (アヌメ) and neko "nuko" (ヌコ)
How did it come about?
It is a kind of regression.
They think who speaking with a lisp is kawaii.
But I feel they are ugly.
thanks.
and I guess using "...jamaika" (...ジャマイカ) e.g. 彼の教師と彼女のお兄さんは同じひとジャマイカ
is it simulating the way an old person speaks, or just a pun (janaika - jamaika[jamaica])
also, why do otaku call miyazaki hayao "PAYAO"?

Thank you.
As YOU know it very well, Otaku is the creature of Fetishism.
And the mainstream trend of fetish in the past few years must be "Zettai Ryouiki (絶対領域)": the thigh region between over knee socks and miniskirt.
Now, translating 絶対領域, 絶対 is ABSOLUTE. It's simple thus far.
But for 領域 part, there are many English equvalent like ZONE, AREA, CONFINE, DEPARTMENT, DOMAIN, FIELD, SPHERE, REGION, SECTOR, etc.
Which do you think is better?
"part"?
>307
You've never seen Eva before.
It must be "field".
What is しょぱい?
Wondering what め mean? Thanks
>>307 It's a bit weird to use 領域 for a body area, no?
領域【 りょういき 】
1 [region] region of land (region of land of a particular district)
area / domain / territory
2 area / field / domain
3 the area over which a matter or a person has influence
scope / area / spectrum / extent / field / range / domain / territory / line
4 a territory of one country
domain / territory / province
None of these definitions relate to human bodies.
Unless it's a study like in 研究領域... Then it should be "area".
>>310
maybe it's しょっぱい.
しょっぱい = 塩っぽい（しおっぽい）= salty
しょっぱい is also figuratively used as:
けちな = tightfisted,
しょっぱい声 = しわがれた声 = a gravelly voice,
しょっぱい顔 = しかめた顔 = a sour face
>>312
Exactly. Japanese usually don't use 領域 for a body area.
But some Japanese (I guess) coined this "絶対領域" to point the area. This is a jargon. Most Japanese don't know what this mean. (me neither)

It depends on where you found it.
め: 目 or 眼 = eye
め: 女 or 雌 = female
め: 芽 = shoot (of plant)
-め also -目: a suffix that follows a number or a unit to makes ordinal number (similar to -th of English)
ex. ２年め = the second year
-め also -奴: a suffix that follows a person's name, title, occupation etc. to indicate the speaker dislike or despise to the person.
ex, 課長め！ = That stupid Manager!
This suffix also used with a first personal pronoun to express humbleness. (very formal and old fashioned)
ex. 私めが－－いたします。 I humbly do...
>>305 Thank you very much! OTL I am greatly indebted to you.
the otakus probaly used Ryouiki BECAUSE it seems so unusual to use it for a body part, and therefoer it is more teh funnay.
I think Absolute Territory is fine.

Anyone know the etymology of:
あ～ら
あらら
or any other iteration?
WWJDIC: "あら (int) oh; ah"
Is it mostly used by females/males?
They are nutural exclametion like Ah, Aha, Huh, ho...
あら、あらら is supposed to be feminin, but males also sometimes use.
Japanese say "あれ," "あれあれ," or "あれれ," when they find something unexpectied and have a doubt, a surprise, curiousity.
I've been looking around and haven't been able to find any english translation of the word 先っぽ, can anyone help? (what does it mean and how is it used)

A name of a hairstyle such as this ↓

I didn't know what 先っぽカール is. But according to >>337's link, it seems a hairstyle where you have your hair curled (カール) or waved at the bottom (先っぽ), thus it is 先っぽカール.
("先っぽ" doesn't mean height or direction, so "先っぽ" does not always equals to "bottom", though.)

"これはよいやさぐれスモーキンゲフゲフフゴフェッ！？"
Thanks in advance orz
Perhaps you found the comment at a picture bulletin board, where you saw a picture of someone smoking, didn't you?
I guess poster amusingliy said,
"これは、よい やさぐれスモーキンゲ ですね？ ゲフ、ゲフ、ゴフ・・・"
"This is a good picture of sullen smorking, isn't it? <cough> <chough> <choked>."
"これは、よい xxx ですね" is a commonly used phrase in picture bulletin boards when someone make a comment about a picture. Literaly, it means "This is a good (picture of) xxx, isn't it?" It is a polite comment, but sounds a bit awkward and humorous.
"やさぐれる (verb)" means sulk. (This is slang. My dictionaries don't list it.)

やさぐれる also implies "go bad" because it was confused with ぐれる(become wicked).

I'm not technically leaving 4-ch as such. Sometime after June I will be moving out of home, and moving overseas, looking for work and starting a new fresh. This means, my role as "leader" of 4-ch is going to be no more, as I simply wont have the time (nor the money) to continue running this site myself. Now, if I had made the decision 12 or so months ago, I would have just deleted the site, sold the domain, and be done with it, however because too many people use the site, and like it, Ican't really do that.
So, this the call for you, the community who uses this website (all ~50,000 of you) to come together to keep the site alive.
There is quite a few problems that need to be solved, some are financial, most are not. It will be up to you to determine this websites future. I am doing this now, giving everyone 6 months to have something in place so when I do go, you will be ready. Everyone is welcome to discuss this topic here.
If the community does not act on this, 4-ch will die.

God may smiles us. (May God smile upon us)
天使の唄、聴こえるよ
We'll be able to hear the song of angels.
羽ばたいて ずっと君の側で
Forever, I stay by your side fluttering.
もう何も怖くないよ
Anything is not scary for me any longer.
>>358
I'm not sure because the original Japanese text is ambiguos, but maybe the translation is accurate. (I don't know whether it is natural.)
The following is just nitpicking. (And I don't insist my idea is entirely correct.)
> 道端にそっとうずくまって、
> Sitting on the road quietly,
> ゆらゆらと浮かぶ雲に独り言そっと呟いてる
> I'm mumbling to myself and(with) the floating clouds.
道端 = roadside
"Sitting at a roadside quietly,
looking at floating clouds, I mumble to myself."
> 羽ばたいて ずっと君の側で
> Forever, I stay by your side fluttering.
Very strange Japanese :)
Maybe this "ずっと" means "always" or "all along". I guess "forever" is too strong.
Possibly, "I always fluttering around you."
> 側にある優しさに寄り添ってみたり
> Having been drawing close to tenderness by my side
> 想い出を 抱き締めて膝を抱えてた
> or I've been taking on my knees and have been holding memories in my arms.
Grammatically, this phrase should be
"側にある優しさに寄り添って *みたり*、
想い出を抱き締めて膝を抱えて *いたり* した".
This sentence pattern is often translated into "Sometime I did [this], sometimes I did [that]."
Possibly,
"Sometime I nestled in the kind heart I found near me,
Sometime I cuddled my good old memories and sat alone."
>>弱虫な私にはサヨナラするから
Do you think this trying to say "I tried to say good bye, but i'm afraid ?" does this make senses ?
and >>359 now thats much better thanks
> 弱虫な私にはサヨナラするから
"弱虫な私にはサヨナラする" is a plan for the future. (The action is not completed.) A word for word translation is "I will say farewell to the coward me. (I will overcome my cowardice.)"
The particle "から" at the end is a conjunction similar to "because", "since", "as", etc., which means the former sentense is a reason. When "から" follows a plan, it can also indicate that the clause is a promise or a proposal for a deal.
And then, I think "弱虫な私にはサヨナラするから" should be pleced before "アイニキテホシイ".
"弱虫な私にはサヨナラするから、会いに来て欲しい" is the correct order.
"I will say farewell to the coward me, I promise. So I beg you come to me."
> 日本語うまい外人さん、英訳お願いしますm(_ _"m)
オレは、日本語うまい外人さんではなく英語のヘタな日本人だけど、参考までにオレの訳を書いておくぞ。何かの役に立てばうれしい。
> もちろん、否定したいのは山々だが――僕はもう、とうに抵抗を諦めていた
> of course, i would really like to denial, but――i already give up to strive against fate long ago.
Of course, I do wish to deny that -- but, I've already given up resisting.
> これが悪夢であってくれればと、どれほど願ったことだろうか
> how much i hoped that this is everything to be nightmare.
How many times have I wished that it were just a nightmare.
> こいつらの中に混じって、こいつらの一員である振りをして、僕は暮していかなければならない
> i have to live that i join those people, and pretending part of those people.
> これまでそうやって過ごしてきた３ヶ月と同様に、これから続く一生涯のあいだ、ずっと
Like what I have done, I must live with these bastards, pretending to be their buddy, for all the rest of my life.
> そう、何もかも変わり果ててしまった
I know, everything has completely changed.
弱虫な私にはサヨナラするから
It would translate something like "I'll say goodbye to my cowardly self, so" - the 'kara' has the nuance of "I'll do it". It's like telling someone - perhaps yourself - you're doing it. Imagine it like... "mou anata no koto wo wasurenai kara (, yurushite kure)" -> "I'll never forget about you again, so (forgive me)"
>>359 Perhaps it seems like strange Japanese because it's in a song and a song would utilize non-standard use of the language. or well, I'm assuming it's in a song, because it sounds like one. >>358, is it from a song?
This is my take on >>358, anyways. I have taken the liberty of making it a bit more lyrical (nanoha!), but as usual, I suck, so...
I have also changed the order of the sentences in the translation in some parts as it would sound strange in English otherwise. Stuff in [brackets] are the literal translation in case you're confused why what I've written seems somewhat different from the actual words.
Here we go:
道端にそっとうずくまって、ゆらゆらと浮かぶ雲に独り言そっと呟いてる
Crouching quietly on the side of the road, I'm silently murmering with the floating clouds. [I'm silently murmuring to myself with the floating clouds.]
そんな日々はもういらないから・・・ほら、涙は青空に捨てて行こう！
I don't need days like that any more... Say, why don't we throw these tears into the blue sky! [Let's throw these tears into the blue sky.]
「ネムレナイ・・・」
I can't sleep...
「サビシクテ・・・」
It's lonely, and...
「アイニキテホシイ・・・」
I want you to find me... [I want you to come and find me.]
弱虫な私にはサヨナラするから
I will say goodbye to my cowardly self (Using I will instead of I'll makes it sound more determined, due to the "kara" at the end.)
夢とか希望とかに押し潰されそうで, 踏み出す勇気を持てずにいたの
I was on the verge of being crushed by my dreams and hopes so much that I didn't have the courage to step forward.(I have interpreted "oshitsubusaresou" as "on the verge" {as in 'namida ga afuredasou'} rather than "seemed to be")
羽ばたいて ずっと君の側で
Flapping my wings, I'll always be beside you
もう何も怖くないよ
I'm not scared of anything anymore.
これからはきっと無限大の二人の未来
From now on, our future will definitely be endless [From now on, our definitely infinite future]
何があるかなんてわからないけど
I don't know what's in store for us, but (I assumed the subjects)
振り返らないで行くよ
I won't look back any more. [I'll go without looking back any more.]
側にある優しさに寄り添ってみたり
I'd be drawn to this tenderness by my side
想い出を 抱き締めて膝を抱えてた
Holding my memories close to me as I hugged my knees
子供のふりをして甘えてもいたいけど
I want to keep pretending to be a spoiled child, but [I want to continue pretending to be a child and be spoiled, but]
自分を信じて歩いて行きたい
I want to believe in myself and walk on.
茜色の空に誓うよ 落ち込んでも負けないから
I swear by the bright red sky, I will keep going even if I'm down [I swear to the bright red sky, I won't lose even if I'm down]
これからはもっと 無限大の二人の夢今探しに行こう
From now on more than ever, let's go find our infinite dreams [From now on, let's go find our infinite dreams even more]
何処へだって歩いていけるよ、きっと・・・
We can go anywhere we want, I'm sure we can... [We can walk anywhere, definitely]
どんな苦しみも乗り越えていけるから
We can overcome any hardship in our way [We can overcome any difficulties]
君の笑顔だけ心に抱いて 空に描いた街を目指そう
Holding just your smile close to my heart, let's aim for the city drawn in the sky.
虹の橋を越えて行こう
Let's go over the bridge of rainbows
神様はきっと微笑んでる
God will surely smile at us.
天使の唄、聴こえるよ
I can hear the songs of angels
羽ばたいて ずっと君の側で
Flapping their wings, always beside you (I am assuming now the "habataite" is referring ot the angels. Poetic liberty, folks!)
もう何も怖くないよ
I'm not scared of anything anymore.
>>363 Yeap....Prime by KOTOKO
i tried to trasnlate it myself and stuck until :
そんな日々はもういらないから・・・ほら、涙は青空に捨てて行こう！
not sure how to translate this,
the rest someone helped me to do it
ps: 行 <--is this has any meaning, "it pronouce yu or you" why not using yu from hiragana ???" (i'm still learning lvl 1 japanese >.<)
> ps: 行 <--is this has any meaning, "it pronouce yu or you" why not using yu from hiragana ???"
I think there is no important defference between "行く" and "いく". (By the way, Although it is often pronounced as "ゆく", Japanese usually spell it as "行く" or "いく" for some reason.)
Even if you write "捨てていこう" insted of "捨てて行こう" here, most Japanese wouldn't think it strange.
Hello. I was wondering how this would translate into english. -の人格を疑います。
おねがいします！
Lit.: "I doubt your (or someone's) moral character."
↓
"You have (or One has) a personality problem."
"You are (or One is) a sleaze."
口紅の演出とか、本当に素晴らしいと思う
I saw this on a 2ch discussion board on noein, what does kuchibeni no enshutsu mean? lipstick and direction... I can't put them together
演出 = direction (of a TV or theatrical performance)
演出家 = a director
演出 also means dramaturgy, stage effect.
I don't know the anime, but I guess its shows the lipstic (or something lipstic-staind) as an important metephor of something and/or the key object which significantly affetcts the storyline.
Perhaps the poster said,
"The director gave the really effective expression/meaning to the lipstick. Excellent!"
(I guess I was a bit too wordy.)
"口紅の演出とか、本当に素晴らしいと思う"
Lit. "I think the dramatic effect of the lipstic is excellent."
可愛い 【かわいい(P); かわゆい】 (adj) (sl) pretty; cute; lovely; charming; dear; darling; pet
Where is かわゆい used? I've never heard it used before
「かわゆい」はどこに言っていますか？
かわゆい is the ancient word for かわいい.
Also, For some reason, かわゆい was a buzz term popular among girls in 80's.
For your information, linguists point out that the concept of かわいい is quite different from English words Pretty and Cute. Tracing an etymology, かわいい was delivered from かお はゆし (face flashing or blushing), while Pretty was from Praettig (sly or wily) and Cute was from Acute.
>>371, 372 - thank you.
Actually it turns out I was an idiot and they were talking about the next episode which I had not watched... it featured a lipstick.
by the way just to confirm - 儲 in such a context: 大平儲うぜー
It actually means 信者, right? (believers/fans) So that sentance means "Ohira fans shuddup"?
> It actually means 信者, right? (believers/fans)
Yep.
> So that sentance means "Ohira fans shuddup"?
うぜー (also うざい) is a blunt expression and a shorten form of うざったい (adjective) which means "annoying", "irksome".
Lit. "Those darn annoying Ohira fan boys!"
感嘆句？のように使われる
「, if I say.」「, if you say.」ってどういう意味？

What are the correct translation for idioms "An eye for an eye" and "No man can judge me" ?
"An eye for an eye" 「目には目を」 （ref. "Tooth for Tooth" 「歯には歯を」）
Is "No man can judge me" idiom? I haven't heard of that.
Litreraly, it's 「何者も私を裁くことはできない」.
ありがとうございます。^^
I dont know if its an idiom, perhaps only a thing to say.. ^^' But this helps me a lot.

You will not find it used outside of 4chan's influence though.
2. Seconding something is generally agreeing with someone. It comes from Robert's Rules of Order (or something similar) in that a motion(proposal) must be supported by someone else before a vote or discussion. It can have othermeanings in different context though, but in the lack of context I would assume this one.
3. It is about a small man defeating a large one, trimuph of the underdog.
Thanks! I have no idea what is Rules of Order, but maybe I shoud look up in wikipedia.
And a few more 4ch-related question...
What is /b/ and ITT?
>>387
/b/ is the name of the "random" board on many English 2ch style sites, where anything can be posted (it is like nijiura.) If someone says /b/ they are probably referring to the /b/ on 4chan.org, generally regarded as being full of idiots and racists. "gb2/b/" is an abbreviation of "go back to /b/", and saying it to someone implies that they are acting stupidly.
ITT is an abbreviation of "In This Thread."
>>388
Sorry, I meant "2chan" not "2ch".
>>387 You're welcome, anytime
Rules of Order are systems for running meetings basically.
This is a horribly simplistic view as there are amendments, points of order, quorums and lots of other fancy things that can happen. If you are interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_order isn't horrible, the the links seem to be better.
I think 95% of Japanese people say it's not Japanese but Chinese w.
Highly-educated Japanese people once studied Kanbun much, which is a
technique with which we can convert OLD Chinese sentences with full of kanji into Japanese with kanji and hiragana(though complicating).
And even now students suffers from the need to master it.
And so do I.

The original text sounds somewhat poetic, I guess. A word for word translation can be:

As it has nothing to do with decorativeness,
纏った鎧の無骨さは凍てついた夜気そのものだ。
the uncouthness of the mail that [the fighter?] wears is the frozen air of the night itself.

question. how do you display japanese characters on the computer? because all i see is ????? and i dont know how to change it.
i tried clicking the "character encoding" (i'm using firefox), and i press the japanese character set, but it still doens't show. it is still in ??????????????
i never had a problem with my old computer. in the past with my old computer i used to just click that character encoding thing and it would work
so anyone knows what is wrong with this?
Research IME (Input Method Editor) and if you go down that path, you'll eventually install "Regional and Language Options" for "East Asian Languages".
Very easy to do if you've got windows XP.. Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > East Asian Languages (search around a bit)... insert your WinXP CD
I reccomend to use Mona font.

What means パツパッツン?
Some kind of posture?
Example: パツパッツンの格好で
パッツンパッツン (or ピチピチ) describe (how someone's T-shirt, long/short pants, tight skirt or those type of thing is) stretched tight.
It's similar to パンパン. (ex. 風船がパンパンに膨らんでいる: The balloon is stretched tight.)

I'm reading this thread on 2ch and the resus are about an episode of anime they just finished watching which was very sad. There were people who said this:
全船橋が泣いた
全柏が泣いた
全葛飾が泣いた
全米と私が泣いた
Huh?? Are those place names? (All I know is the kome -> USA) Are they trying to say... "it was so sad, that the whole area around me cried"?
全米が泣いた (the whole of America wept.) is a cliche of advertising copy of Hollywood movies in Japan. It was used in '80s so often that it degraded itself to a mere online meme.
Oh, I see! アリガ㌧
>>405 Thanks!
What means ギンギン?
Noise? Train noise?
Example: いつもギンギンで
「マシ」は？
「ﾁﾗﾘｽﾑ」を英語で説明ください。
ギンギンに is a opposite term for "very sleepy". For example, when your eyes are clearly opened and you can't sleep despite of nighttime, you say 目がギンギンに冴えて眠れない. Another example: 昨夜のパーティは朝までギンギンに盛り上がった。In this situation, it means "energetically".
チラリズム is a combination term of チラリ (glimpse) and イズム(-ism).
French thinker Roland Barthes elaborated, "It is intermittence, as psychoanalysis has so rightly stated, which is erotic: the intermittence [for example] of skin flashing between two articles of clothing (trousers and sweater), between two edges (the open-necked shirt, the glove and the sleeve); it is this flash itself which seduces, or rather: the stage of an appearance-as-disappearance."
チラリズム describes such kind of aesthetics, in most cases erotic aesthetics, that Japanese have been loving for hundreds years. After all, panty flashing is seductive because it's "flashing".
mashi usually is like "this is better"
like "konshuu no hanashi wa zenkai yori mashi da" or something like that
though perhaps a Real Japanese should verify
As alredy >>412 said, マシ is "better." It often (not always) implys the speaker's reluctant feeling. For example "そのほうがマシだ" usually sounds "It is better than something else or the current situation, but still not perfect."
The adjective マシ was derived from 増す(ます、verb "increase").

俺マカーだからnyはよく知らんが
What is a maka-?
「マカー」 = mac + er, "a Macintosh user"
Japanese people know "-er" is an English postfix that makes nouns, and often use it sloppily.
"ny" is Winny, a peer-to-peer file-sharing program.
俺マカーだからnyはよく知らんが
"As I'm a macitosh user, I don't know Winny very much. But..."
>sloppily
Then what's the shortened version of a Macintosh user in English?
There isn't one. You would call them a mac user. As Mac is already a noun so adding -er to it is nonsensical.
Ignore the last sentence in >>424, disconnect between what I meant and what I typed.
Adding -er only works with certain things and it does somtimes work with nouns.
It is mostly used with verbs to make nouns (one that does verb), but it can be used with nouns in some cases(mostly in denoting citizenship such as New York (place) -> New Yorker (one that lives in New York or is characteristic of New York) but even then it isn't uniform (There is also -ian which is used in some cases Boston (place) -> Bostonian (one that lives in Boston or is characteristic of Boston)).
>>425
It is sometimes shortened like Jap(s), ha!
>>426
Possibly, some Japanese would think "macer" is a shorten form of "mac user." But I'm not sure.
By the way, while "-er" is very commonly used with any English verbs, words made of "noun + er", for instance, "pensioner", "schooler", "practitioner" or "miner" are rare. I don't know why.
Well, I was being sarcastic by poiting out some people's claim that Jap isn't a racially charged word but a mere shortened form on the account of people's laziness. But at the same time, there are a lot of words that aren't shortened. So where is the justice?

What means くちゅくちゅして?
Pumping? Sucking? Licking? Eating ice-cream?
Example: くちゅくちゅしてね
What means きゅんきゅん?
Squeezing?
Example: きゅんきゅん締まって
I guess くちゅくちゅ is a sound of a small wet thing(s) stired.
I happend to see a TV ad of a dental care good some years ago (I don't exactly remember what it was). The narrator said "おくち、くちゅくちゅ・・・" as mouth-rinsing.
I guess you found that くちゅくちして in a manga where one character was asking the other for a licking or a soft stiring.
きゅんきゅん may be a variation of an adverb ぎゅうぎゅう. And yes, it means squeezing.
>>433 Thank you very much.
I have a quick grammar question. I'm trying to remember how to say "the more (something) the more (something else)." I know I learned it already in Japanese class I just can't remember what it is. For example, "The more I learn, the more I understand."
～すればするほど、（ますます）～
例： 勉強すればするほど、わかるようになる
>>435
As you may already know, Japanese grammar doesn't have the counterpart of that. So it is good idea to rewrite it into differnt form such as "When/As something do ---, something else come/become ---" before you translate.
"The more I learn, the more I understand."
-> "When/If I learn more, I (come to) understand more."
-> もっと勉強すると／すれば、もっとわかるようになる。
The longer the Minister's speech went on, the feebler his arguments became.
-> "As the Minister's speech went on and on, his arguments became feebl(er)."
-> 大臣の話が長引くにつれて、彼の主張は弱弱しくなった。
"The more, the better."
-> "It is better if we have more."
-> もっとあれば、もっとよい
-> あればあるほどよい

How about
ゲームの必須システム環境は、Windows 2000/XP 日本語版だと書いてありますが、日本語版はどうしても必要ですか？ 私今使っているXPは日本語版ではないので、これでもゲームできるかどうか教えてください。
By the way, "書きましたけど" usually implys the one who wrote something is "me" (or "us"). So it means "I wrote ---. But..."
I guess you want to say "It is written that... , but." If so, you should write "書いてあるけど" or "書いてありますが". (The latter is more polite.)
Oops. A particle （が after 私) is missing.

What means ゴンゴン?
Maybe "repeatedly"?
Or is it a stronger variant of どんどん(rapidly, steadily)?
Example: ゴンゴン当たると
ゴンゴン is a sound of (usually heavy) things repeatedly hit by somthing else. For instance, you can describe the sound of door-knocking as ゴンゴン instead of コンコン (an ordinary expression of door-knocking) to express the door's heaviness.
Generally, ガンガン is used more often than ゴンゴン. But ゴンゴン implys the hitting and the sound is not very hard.

How about "ご自由にお使いください" ?

Is it possible to throw in どうぞ and/or 是非? Can it be used in the same way? Like

是非是非、ご自由に...
このオタクを殺してもいいんですか?
どうぞ、ご自由に
From a children's book (ももたろう):
おじいさんは 山から たきぎを とってきて、 村で それを うって、 くらしを たてていました。
The old man brought firewood from the mountain, ________ in the village, and made a living.
Attacked that thing in the village? That doesn't make sense...
>>457 I believe that "utte" is the -te form of uru (売る) so
The old man brought firewood from the mountain, sold it in the village and started to make a living out of it.
売る（うる） can inflect うら、うり、うる、うれ、うろ.
売って（うって） is a short way of saying うり + て, which is not used anymore.
て is a particle that means "and (then)", "in/by doing so" etc.
それを 村で 売って くらしを たてていました
(He) made a living by selling it in the village.
> 売って（うって） is a short way of saying うり + て, which is not used anymore.
I mean "うりて" is obsolete. Today's Japanese people say "うって."
Thanks, 458 and 459… But now there's this one…
大きな ももが ドンブラコ ドンブラコと ながれてくるでは ありませんか。
What is ドンブラコ? A sound?
>>461
I don't really know. It may be a sound, or a behavior.
Anyway, the only use of the word ドンブラコ is to describe a floating peach, so you can safely ignore it.
I agree with >>462.
Maybe the peach is slowly swinging and going down with flow. ドンブラコ is very rarely used. If you ask a Japanese "What can you think of when you hear the word ドンブラコ?", he or she will answer the tale ももたろう.
and どんぐりころころ
どんぐり = acorn
ころころ = rolling over and over
I mean どんぐりころころ どんぶりこ.
The どんぶりこ is same as ドンブラコ.

I was wondering if some nice Japanese speaker could please translate something 4-ch? Right now the top of http://4-ch.net/language/ has translations in many other european languages, but not Japanese. This would be useful to direct Japanese speakers who wish to talk about Japanese-related topics here instead of over there.
It would be a good idea to avoid from using 2ch or dialect-specific slang, so that all Japanese speakers can understand.
Here is what needs to be translated:
Talk about languages, communication, linguistics or anything of that nature. All languages are welcome for discussion, and everyone should respect each other's language. Please keep Japanese language related discussion here thank you.
おれは出来ない、私の日本語は悪いから。ありがとう、翻訳者ーさん。
Ima native japanese.
どんぶりこ is a sound that something ditch into water.
Talk about languages, communication, linguistics or anything of that nature. All languages are welcome for discussion, and everyone should respect each other's language. Please keep Japanese language related discussion here thank you.

I've ever had はなんだか... 「これまで＿＿＿したもの」みたいな意味かね...
This isn't really the best cake I've ever had
これはこれまで食べていなかったほどのうまいケーキじゃないよ。
なんだかグダグダだよなー。どうやって説明するかわからないよ... なんてさ、ここまでの人生の中でもなかった経験かな... わかる? 日本語で話し難い
>>472
その場合だと、これは今までで最高のケーキとは言えない。って感じになるかな。
丁寧に書くと、これは今まで食べたケーキの中で最高のものだとは言えない。って感じになるかな。よく使う表現だね。
意味はそれでいいと思う。当然使う文書によって言い回しは変わるけどね。
日本語で「今までで一番」ってあまり口に出さないですね
どっちかっていうと場所の方が一般的かも
東京で一番おいしいケーキ屋だよ、とか
地元で一番のラーメン屋とか
こんなにうまいケーキは食ったことがない。
とは言えるけど、これの否定に相当するものがないような。
This isn't really the best cake I've ever had.
「人生最高のケーキだ、というほどではないなぁ」とか？
直訳に近い形で>>473みたいに書いたけど、実際は文章の前後がないと
どれが一番全体の流れにあってるのかわからないというのが本音。
「このケーキはあまりおいしくない」っていう単純な表現の時もあるし、文章の流れによっては
「このケーキは最高においしいとは言えない」って最高の言葉がないと変な場合もあるし、
「このケーキは今まで食べたケーキの中で最高においしいとは言えない」と
今まで食べたケーキの中で、も入れてずらずらやったほうが一番近いときもある．．．
あとは言い回しの問題かな。
日本語でも、まずい＞おいしくない＞あんまりおいしくないってな感じで言い回しがやわらかくなるように
not bestを使えばやわらかく表現できるし、not reallyを使えばやわらかくできるし、
everで全体の強調とか意味の補完もできる。
後は全体の文（話）の流れとか言い回しを参考にして、できるだけ書いた本人の意向にそうように
それにあった言い回しを探せばいいと思うけどね。
日本にしかない言い回し、英語にしかない言い回しは山ほどあるので、
直訳すると不自然もしくは逆に変なことも多々ある。
それは>>475で指摘してくれている通り。
ただ日本のテスト問題とかだったら、ちょっと変な日本語でも直訳して書かないと×にされそうなので注意です。
会話だと声のトーンでなんとなく感じがつかめるんだけど、文章の場合は前後がないと判断できないよね．．．
日本語でも同じだけど、文章だと怒ってるか怒ってないかわからないみたいな。。
>「こんなにうまいケーキは食ったことがない。」の否定形って、
>どういう意味になる？
想定してたのは、「この程度のうまさのケーキなら食ったことがある。」
うーん 考えずに日本語使ってるけど、考えて使うと日本語難しいな。
この辺は英語でも一緒か、考えるとどんどん難しくなって最終的にとんでもない文章になったことがあるｗ
日本語の場合、否定形って文章を分解していって それぞれについて
ある→ない ない→ある
にしていけばいけそう？いや適当にいってるんだけどね。
もしそうだとしたら 名詞ともモドキはそのままにして、
こんなに うまい ケーキは 食ったこと がない
それほど うまくない ケーキは 食ったこと がある
になって>>480に近くならない？ｗ
ちょっとまった。 ある→ない ってわけじゃないか。
それだと逆になってるもんね。
私は男だ。が 私は男じゃない でなく 私は女だ になってる感じ？
ある→あるわけではない が正しいのかな

こんなにうまいケーキは食ったことがない ←→ 味はそれほどでもない or たいしたケーキじゃない
この程度のうまさのケーキなら食ったことがある
１まずくはないが、食べたことがあるくらいのおいしさ
→フツウにおいしい or いけるよ
２まずくはないが、たいしておいしくもない
→そこそこ or まあまあ or いまいち
ここら辺になるとすっごく微妙なニュアンスですかね
「フツウにおいしい」と母に言ったら普通のおいしさって何？と問われました
店で食べても文句はないぐらいの味、といった所かと
私の個人的な感覚だけど、「ふつう」という言葉は、neither good nor bad みたいに思える。だから、「ふつうにおいしい」は、good but not very good になるんじゃないかな。
最近生まれた俗語的な用法かもしれないけど、ここでの「ふつうに」は「ふつうの基準で言っても」という肯定的な意味だと思う。
「ふつうにおいしい」と言った場合、それが(あまり)おいしくないことが予想される状況下(例えば調理者が料理に自信のない旨を表明しているとか、あるいは単にそれが家庭料理であるとか)で、そういう状況を考慮に入れずに評価してもおいしい(そういう状況に「しては」おいしい、ではない)という意味があるような気がする。
>>489
そもそも、何か特別な事情がない限り、普通の基準を適用して判断していると前置きをする必要はない。単純に「おいしいよ」とだけ言う。
わざわざ「ふつうに」という前置きをする必要があるのは、>>489さんが例示しているように、「料理の腕に自信がない。材料の質が悪い。調理器具に問題がある。などの理由があって、おいしいものができるとは考えにくい状況下で作った料理」というような、普通の基準を適用するのは不適当である場合だ。
一方、>>487さんの場合、おそらく、>>487さんのおかあさんは、そういう「普通でない」状況にはなかったはず。だからこそ、「ふつうにおいしい」と述べている>>487さんの言葉の意味が理解できず、それはどういう意味だと>>487さんのおかあさんは聞き返した。
特別な事情がない場合、「ふつうにおいしい」は、単純に「いつもと同じくらいのおいしさ」という相対評価を意味するから、基本的にプラスでもマイナスでもないと思う。（おいしいという意味ではプラスだけど）

crashとclashってどうやって使い分ければいいの？
>>492
Not to be rude, but look it up in a dictionary...
crash = 激突
clash = 搗ち合う
意味の違いじゃなくて使いわけの違いを聞いてるんでしょ。
「ふつう」であれだけ説明してるんだから、そのぐらいのレス
しかできないならrudeと受け取られてもしかたがないよ。
そんなこと言われても
日本語訳は、clashもcrashも似たような言葉になるから、英和辞典を調べても、違いが分かりにくい。言葉のニュアンスを知りたいときは、Cobuldなど、英語学習者向けに作られた、言葉の意味を英語で説明している辞書を使うことをお勧めします。
clashは、people, ideas, beliefs などが衝突しているという状況を意味する。例えば、"Bush and Kerry clashed frequently over the US invasion of Iraq."
仕事と友人関係のスケジュールが「ぶつかって」、パーティに出席できないときもclash。例えば "A job interview clashed with a training session" なんて言い方もある。
crashは、もっと物質的で、自動車事故で物が壊れたとか、PCが誤動作してハードディスクのデータが「クラッシュ」したときに使う。ものがぶつかったときの「ガチャン！」「グシャ！」という音を表現するときもcrashのほうが普通だと思うな。比ゆ的な意味として、会社が突然倒産するときにもいう。"Investors lost billions when Enron crashed."
訂正。
Cobuldなど → Cobuildなど
people can crash into each other on the corner of a road. they don't clash into each other :v
日本語の、「AさんとBさんが衝突している」は、clash も crashもありうる。前者は意見が対立しているとかケンカしている場合で、後者は、>>498さんが書いているように物理的にぶつかっている場合。
My tears dead.
訳すと、涙が・・・なんですか？
>>500
たぶん、悲しみを表現した歌の歌詞か何かだと思うけど、前後関係がないと何とも言いようがない。
あてずっぽうで言うと、
「泣き終わった」
「涙が、すっかりかれ果てるほど泣いてしまった。」
「絶対に、泣くものか！」
「もう泣くのは終わりだ」
かな。
> My tears dead.
これが英語じゃない｡
文法は判読不能の。
今はこんなに悲しくて
My tears dead←コレ！
もう二度と笑顔にはなれそうもないけど
あんな時代もあったねと
きっと笑える日がくるよ
こんな時代もあったねと
きっと話せる日がくるよ
だから今日はくよくよしないで
明日の風にまかせましょう
>>503
中島みゆきの『時代』ですね。
オリジナルの日本語の歌の最初の部分は、
「今はこんなに悲しくて
涙も枯れ果てて
もう二度と笑顔にはなれそうもないけど」
です。
英訳がどうなっているかは知りませんが、"my tears dead" は文章の一部分であって、単独の文としては成立していないと思います。
My tears are dead それとも My tears died は正しいですが。
>>505
文法としてはどちらも正しいですけど、"My tears died." のほうが普通だと思います。また、die のあとにdown や away を補うと、もともとの「死ぬ」「（涙が）かれ果てる」という強い意味ではなく、「止まる」「しだいに弱くなる」という意味になります。
納得
What means トゥキン?
Example: なったと思ったら間髪いれずに眉間にトゥキンができて異星人に。
そんな日本語はありませんｗ
It doesn't exist? But I get 13,100 hits for "トゥキン" in Google...
トゥキン refers to スキン(skin), and usually, skinhead. The nuance is "balder than skinhead""super skinhead""skinhead of skinheads" and things like that.
I don't get your example though.
It was the last sentence of a 2chan thread about the anime Eureka7, maybe I should have given the sentences that preceeded. But I don't have the thread anymore. So yeah, like this it doesn't make much sense. But at least I have the meaning ready for the next time it appears. So, thank you.
スキンにはコンドームって意味もあるよ。
I never heard of the word トゥキン. (I'm a native Japanese speaker.)
According to the result of Google, >>511 seems correct. I guess someone coined it recently.
But 眉間（みけん） means the part of the face between the eyebrows. So the "眉間にトゥキンができて" seems not to make sense.
In the middle of the forehead, the character in the anime had some sort of jewel.
So my first guess for トゥキン was that it was a misspelled トークン(token).
But the definition of "token" doesn't really fit for a jewel, so I discarded it.
It seems that I should consider that option again -- it's most probably a misspelled word.
(From manga)
What means ジュブジュブ?
Ex: ジュブジュブして
Is it a wet piston sound?
What means カキカキ?
Ex: カキカキしてくれて
To scrub, to scratch?
(Probably,) ジュブジュブ represents the sounds like washing, or using something especially in something liquid like water for some reasons.
カキカキ means a writing as sounds, and that's a light term so I highly recommend you not to use them in your office lol.
Well, to be exact, カキカキ is not the sounds;
カキ means 書き(writing something); It's a combination of two same verbs.
It's a bit childish expression, at least not mature one.
It might be マスかきかき.
A verb "かく" can be "書く(to write)", "描く(to draw, paint)", "掻く(to scrach, scrub)".
カキカキする may be one of those. The one who say "カキカキしてくれて" seems to be acting like a child, maybe on purpose.
（かく can be 欠く(to lack), too. But that doesn't work here.)
Thanks, everybody, for the help.
what kind of nuance do you express when you write like ">>1 WIN" ?
(from a 2chan thread about Matsuri festivals)
What means ウハウハ?
Exciting?
Example: 「これなら来福神社もウハウハ？」
Hello... :)
just found this forum... and wonder if you could help me...
does "コレ" have any meaning?... I understand that it is written in Katakana... but I can not find a translation... :-/
thanks for your time...! :)
I guess "コレ" simply means like "this", "that", "these", "those", or etc...
We'd be hard to tell you what "コレ" means without sentences before/after that.
ウハウハ shows a situation that people or company
physically got a big satisfaction.
「株でウハウハ」 - He/she got a big gain in stock the trading.
Your example could be translated as
"Could Raifuku shrine can get a lot of income (or visitor)
by that way?"
>>527 Thank you very much for the help.
>>525
You can use katakana to emphasize a word. (This is an informal writing style, though.)
Ex. "これはまずい" = "This is bad", "コレはまずい” = "THIS is bad", "これはマズイ" = "This is BAD."
By the say, Japanese language doesn't use pronouns as frequently as English does. So emphasising a pronoun often indicate that the writer/speaker refers to a particular thing but doesn't like to say clearly what it is.
>>526 and 529
thanks a lot for your quick response...! :)
"katakana to emphasize a word"... oh, that's interesting... I was thinking katakana is only used for loan words...?!...
so would you say whenever an original japanese word is written in katakana instead of hiragana or kanji then it is probably to emphasise this word...?... (or would that be too simple? ;)...
thanks...!
Katakana is used for all sorts of stuff... Foreign loan words, emphasis, onomatopoeia, furigana for your name when filling out forms etc etc
italic
>>530
"katakana to emphasize a word" is often used in a colloquial expression. This is not a rule. You may or may not do it.
Katakana is also used to refer to names of species in scientific articles. This is a standard writing rule. For example, if you write an zoological essay, you should write "イヌ" as "canine", "犬" as "dog".
thanks for your help... :)
may I ask you once more for your time please...?
when I translate the text below with any online translator I get the meaning (more or less)... but I would be interested in getting a "real" translation...

moon languageって侮蔑する言葉だよね？
"Moon language" is an insulting words, right?
>>542 It doesn't have to be insulting, but it indicates a reject of the language, yes.
Moonspeak / Moon language
"Japanese, originally. Has since been used to mean any language that isn't English, especially if it uses lots of special characters (like umlauts) or, as with Japanese, a different character set entirely (which is even worse if you don't have the fonts installed). The most common examples on /b/ are Scandinavian languages like Swedish and Finnish, owing to the relatively large number of /b/tards in those countries; other European languages have also been called moonspeak, usually German and Russian. Korean has also shown up on /b/ from time to time, usually in pictures."

What does "moe" mean?
Some complex feelings. see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo%C3%A9
>>550
Is there a similar sounding word that means something different like relax or something? I was saying something semi awkwardly (I am a male) and several people said moe to me. Meaning..?
>Is there a similar sounding word that means something different like relax or something?
I can't think of any such words. There is a word moe(燃え), which means "burning", but it is rarely used in its original form, especially in spoken Japanese.
Possibly you behaved like a tipical moe character, but I'm not sure.
>>551
People often willingly support those who have awkwardness and good nature. In that case, his or her awkwardness is a laughable and lovable defect, which is an important factor of moe (萌え) --- maybe :)
Here's a example translated moe as "turn-ons".
http://a.scarywater.net/afk/%5Ba.f.k.%5D%20The%20Melancholy%20of%20Haruhi%20Suzumiya%20-%2002.avi.torrent
(See 19'33"-20'08")
>>554
Anyway, I'm sure they never mean to insult you. They could be teasing you with the positive intention of getting you to speak. Don't take it too serious.
>>556
I wasn't they are very very nice people, I was nervous my first day or so so that is probably what they were talking about. Does "moi" have a meaning like "calm yourself" or something?
As far as I know, "moe" doesn't mean "calm yourself." But probably they meant so. A word for word translation is "you are charming." I think what they really meant was "We like you not in spite of but rather because of your imperfection. (So you don't have to worry about making a mistake. That is ok.)"
"moo ii" (もう良い) means "That's enough".
Some people (often from Western Japan) pronounce it like "moo ee".
>>558
Ah ok, I guess thats it. They are like at my work and I go out to lunch with them often and they try to put me on the spot and being as shy and awkward as I am with new people I often show it. So that might be it.
日本語でいうテレビコマーシャル前の「提供バック」または「提供クレジット」。
英語ではなんと言いますか？
Just before the TV commercial we see a short footage telling "This program is brought to you by (someone)". In Japanese it's called "teikyou credit (sponsor credit)" or "teikyou back". What is the equivalent in English?
"Sponsor credits", I guess. Or "Sponsorship credits". Or just "Credits".
「下手な英語ですみません」って英語でどういうの？
Sorry for my poor English.ってところだと思うんだけど。
>>563 Yeah. Or "Sorry for the poor English." Or "Sorry for my English."
Or better, don't be sorry/don't apologize! :)
>>564
thanks.
does "don't apologize" mean I don't need to apologize however I wrote poor English?
英語に自信がないので↑を日本語でも書いてみる。
"don't apologize"ということは、どれだけ下手な英語を使ってもあやまらなくてよいということ？
>>565 Yes/はい.
Native English speakers make errors all the time, but they don't go apologizing all the time. At best if someone corrects them they will say "thanks for the correction" or "OK" (if they are the polite type), or they will simply ignore the negative comments and move on.
As long as your message is understandable you should not care too much for grammar.
>>565
あやまる必要はない。むしろ、あやまるべきではない。なぜなら、あなたは何も悪いことをしていないのだから。あやまる必要があるとしたら、それは、あなたが本当は英語が下手なのに上手ですとウソをついていた場合だけです。

However, I am interested in using English language.
I'm very encouraged. thank you for lot of kindness.
>>568 Pretty good! There are a few small errors in your message(been tought/It has been tough), but I understood what you said so it's OK.
Keep on practicing, practicing, practicing.

The last line goes as follows: サウスウィシュボーン３番地
I'm wondering what's ３番地? "The land №.3"?
In english translation it is simply "No.3", but I still don't get what's it supposed to mean (English is my second language too).
番地 is a number of a small block or area where usually one or more buildings exist.
Just think its district 3...
Its part of the number that corresponds to "zip code"
I think its like Canada (not Canadian sorry) where each number tells you where you are in which block in which district.
What's meaning of "sux"or"suck"?

愛のムチ
the translation software says "Whip of love". hmmmm. but what does it mean?
thanks
>>590
Loving smack.
>>591
thanks...
ahm, English is not my mother tongue, so I'm sorry for bothering you again :-/
do you mean
"smack"="smacking"="beating" (someone) - so "I love to beat someone"...???
or
"smack"="taste" - so "the taste of love"...???
or
something else...???
thanks for your patience! :-)
oh... I did some more research ;-)
so, does it mean a tenderly slap ? as you would slap your lover or so ? or am I completely wrong? :-)
and
would you say 愛のムチ is a common term or is it unusual to use this?
and
would you say the romaji writing is "ai no muchi" ?
thanks, thanks, thanks... ;-)
It usually DOES NOT mean those sort of sexial activity or something.
愛の鞭 (Ai no muchi) is an idiom often used by stupid teachers when they scold or punish their students. (Possibly this is my prejudice. I personally hate this idiom because it soounds crony and somewhat dishonest.)
They would say something like "I scold/punish you not because I hate you but because I want to help you. I hope you'll be a good child. In short, I whip you because I love you." Thus, it is a "whip of love."
Also, "Ai no muchi" is jokingly used to refer to "sado-mazochism."
でも古い漫画やドラマでしか聞いたことないな。愛の鞭なんて。
SMの世界に存在すると見た
When teachers or pearents beat hteir children in Japan,
they say so "This is ainomuchi!".
They expect children to be good.

http://patrickmacias.blogs.com/er/works/index.html
not really a translation question, but...
I've been always wondering, why a lot of female singers in Japan refer to themselves as 'boku' in the lyrics of their songs?
is it because the songs are sung from a 'male's viewpoint' or something?
It is true in some cases.
Boku is commonly used by boys.
But it dose not mean that girls cannot use boku.
Some girls refer to themselves as boku.
There are many example in manga or anime.
I had two friends who used boku even though they are female.
The one girl was my classmate in my elementary school.
Girls of about ten years use boku is not so strange.

Surprisingly, the other girl was my classmate in my high school.
She wasn't lesbian or something.

Question:
What means ずりねた?
Confident? Buddy? Secret friend?
Example: 君はずりねただよ
Before answering, where did you find ずりねた...?
OK, ずりねた means porno material.
Don't say this word to 君, you know.wwww
>>614 Thanks.
From a semi-ecchi manga, "教科書にない！".
The exact sentence is "先生は あたしの 一番の ずりねただよ", said by the girl to the teacher.
I guess that translates as "I(the girl) am the best source of porn for you(the teacher)."

Such a kind of books are good materials to learn another language.
I guess "You(the teacher) are the best source of porn for me(the girl)." is correct.
And...
ずり came from せんずり that means masturbation.
ねた means material.
So, what the girl really want to say is "I masturbate you".
I've never use this verb in English. I don't know this is correct way to use this verb.
Anou sa! well.. i can't typ japanese on my computer T_T cuz i didn't download the program but anyway.. where i can find a japanese chatroom.. where i can practice my japanese?
>>617 Oh I see.
If the meaning is "I masturbate while thinking of you", then in English the proper sentence would be "I masturbate to you". In internet slang, that would be "I fap to you".
(BTW it's a gag manga, the girl was using the word thinking it meant "I love you".)
What's くにくに?
A body's part?
Example: くにくに触られると キモチいい
Possibly, it's an ad-lib adverbial onomatopoea that means you're touching or kneading a soft thing genltly and repeatedly.
>>621 Thanks.
What means パパッ / パパッと?
パパ is Papa/Daddy, does パパッ have another meaning?
Example: 今からパパッと 着ちゃってくださいよ
close meaning to 'quickly'.or sometimes 'easyly'.
easily..
>>622
AS already 623 said, it means "quick(ly)" or "right now", and also "without much care."
パパッと is a variation of パッと, an adverb that means the action is brief. You can freely repeat the sound like パパパっと if you think the action needs some steps or time. Also, you can say バッと, ババッと if you think the action could be more makeshift or rough.
今からパパッと 着ちゃってくださいよ
If he or she is saying something about clothes, the translation may be:
Please put/try/slip it on right now.
Thank you very much.

what means

「このページはGoogle Page Creatorに作りました。初心者のためによいですよ！ようこそ！これ、本当どうということもないよい。で～このリンクはクリックしてくださいよ！」
Does that translate into:
「This page was made in Google Page Creator. It's good for beginners!
Welcome! This isn't really anything special. So please click this link!」？
Thanks in advance!
>>629
good translation.
But this sentence wasn't written by native speaker.
>>630
yeah, I wrote it. How would a native speaker write it?
(that's if you are a native speaker :) (taking a guess that you are because you missed "a" just before "native" :)
Thanks in advance again!
yeah, I'm Japanese.冠詞は難しくてすぐにボロがでるｗ
「ようこそ！このページはGoogle Page Creatorに作りました。初心者向けです！本当にどうってことないけど、このリンクをクリックしてみて！」
って感じかなあ。まだちょっと不自然かもしれないがこれ以上かえると意味が原文と違ってくるかも。
>>629
どちらが原文ですか？
Which line is the original?
あなたは Google Page Creatorという名前の道具を使用して、そのページを作ったのですよね？
I guess you made the page by using the tool named Google Page Creator, right?
もし、そうなら、以下のほうが自然だと思います。
If so, I think
"このページはGoogle Page Creatorで作りました。"
"I made this page with Google Page Creator."
...would be better.
Note:
"に" indicates direction or place like "to", "in", "for", "at", and so on. But Japanese usually don't use "に" to specify tools or objects by which a result is achieved.
Japanese uses "で" instead, which means "by", "with", "by means of".
次のふたつの文は、
As for the next two lines,
"Google Page Creatorは、初心者にとって便利ですよ！"
"It's useful for beginers!"
"ようこそ！"
"Welcome!"
Note;
You can write "これは、初心者にとって便利ですよ！" to avoid repeating the name. But, while English speakers usually avoid to repeat the same noun, Japanese speakers don't use pronouns as often as them. I'm not sure which phrase is more natural.
最後のふたつは、よくわかりません。おそらく、あなたがいいたいのは、
I don't get the last two. Possibly, what you want to say is,
"これ、大したことはありません。"
"This isn't really anything special."
"気にせず、このリンクをクリックして見てください"
"Please don't hesitate to click this link!"
>>633
The first line is the orignal (But there was some orignal english text. The translation I did was just to see if it basiclly ment what I said.)
>>632>>633
You both speak very good english, especially 633.
And thanks for your help!
But the main question.
Would my sentence be understandable? if so, I'm very happy with my Japanese :P lol, it's hard learning by yourself！ねー？
oh yeah, quick question, when I see ッ or っ at the end of words, I know it's something informal, but I'm not sure how the hell you pronouce it?! because I thought that っ was there just to continue the first part of a letter. e.g.「ちょっと = tyotto/chotto」So what would it be at the end of a word where there is nothing behind it? e.g. 「パパッ」would that be = papap?
Thanks again!
> because I thought that っ was there just to continue the first part of a letter.
No. "っ" is not a letter to continue any sound. It is a letter for mute or complete silence.
You hold your breath for a moment whenever you read that small "っ".
Don't close your mouth. Just use your tongue.
The double t's in the English word "letter" and the double t's in "chotto" are very different.
>>634
So, you originally thought something in English, and wrote the Japanese sentence, then translated it into English, ok?
I think that the only troublesome point which can make your readers misundestand is the postpositional particle "に" in the first part of the Japanese sentence because you used it grammatically correctly but maybe it was semantically incorrect. (There are somewhat strange points in the other patrs, but it is understandable.)
If someone who doesn't know Google Page Creator reads that, he could think that it's a name of a web or blog site, and that you made something in advance and then uploaded it "into (に)" Google Page Creator.
I guess the text is printed on somewhere in googlepages.com, so your readers can find the line is somewhat strange, which might make them infer that it should be the name of a writing tool you used, not the name of the web page, thus "に" should be "で". So, possibly, it isn't a serious problem. Anyway, google is google. But, generally speaking, postpositional particles are always a root of confusion for many people who study Japanese. Good luck.
As for the small "っ", it's a kind of a phonetic sign that indicate the vowel before it is short and stressed.
By the way, I always get confused about prepositions of English... lol
>>634
still your sentence makes sense.
>>634
Hey, its me again. And thanks for your help! Just woundering, how do you say "or" in Japanese? As in: Would you like this or that? Is it this or that? I don't like him or her e.t.c With some ways I've seen... it's very confusing and/or silly. For example:
ミルクですか？砂糖ですか？ meaning Milk or sugar?
i just find that abit silly :P is there a particles, that on its own does that? (just like english).
Thanks again!
>>935
The word "or" has many meanings, so you need to make sure what the word means in the sentence you are translating.
(1) "Or" is used to introduce another possibility.
If you are asking someone to choose something, the most commonly used Japanese equivalent for this "or" is "それとも soretomo", which is a conjunction.
As for "ミルクですか？砂糖ですか？", you can say:
"ミルク、それとも砂糖？",
"ミルク、それとも砂糖ですか？",
"ミルクですか、それとも砂糖？",
"ミルクですか？ それとも砂糖ですか？"
There is no significant difference among them.
Note: The last example shows the conjunction "それとも" can join not only two nouns but also two sentences. You can start a sentence with "それとも" that follows the other suggestion.
"映画を見に行きませんか？ それとも買い物のほうがいい？" (Why don't you go to see a movie? Or do you like shopping better?)
The postpositional particle "か" also very commonly used to make alternatives a chunk. It can work with nouns (or noun clauses) only. While "それとも" often implies that one of the things referred to should be chosen, "か" doesn't.
"コーヒー か お茶を下さい" Give me coffee or tea.
In this case, you don't care which is chosen. You just named some possible choices.
"または" is also used in written expressions. For example, when you write a recipe, you can write, "そして、それを大きな鍋（なべ） または ボールに入れます (then, place them in a large pan or bowl)". "大きな鍋 か ボール" is also okay.
(2) "Or" can mean "otherwise" when you give somebody an advice or a warning.
Japanese often say "さもないと", which is an old way of saying "そうでないと (if it isn't so)". The formar sounds more compelling than the latter.
"しっかり勉強しろ！ さもないと退学だ" (Study hard! Or you'll be expelled.)
(3) "Or" can mean "in other words." Japanese say "つまり", "すなわち" in this case.
"それは１キロ、つまり(or すなわち) ２ポンドを 少し こえる 重さがある。" (It weights a kilo, or just over two pounds.)

That sentence is confusing... Can you say it in English?
Something aboutforegin people studying japanese, and having the skill to speak Japanese isn't useful.. Then it gets confusing.... Something about Japanese people have a increasing feeling about it?
huh why wouldn't it be usful to speak another language? I think it is. I wanna learn at least Japanese first and then Chinese, and then mayb Korean.
You read it wrong.
It's a translation thread so I'll translate it for ya. :D
Although even foreigners are studying Japanese nowadays, I think a lot of Japanese people's level of Japanese skill is decreasing... Of course, I'm not talking about any of the Japanese people here, but I wonder if the same kind of thing is happening around the world? I think I might even be one of those people who can't speak Japanese very well. Of course, I don't have any problems with day-to-day situations, but being out in the working society and seeing everyone else makes me really ashamed. It's sad that I can't use my own language to its full potential.

What's the Japanese-language term for an "old maid" (age 25-40) fetish?
I remember seeing "oyaji gal" in 'Even a Monkey Can Draw Manga,' but that's not what I mean. It's not mothercon I'm thinking of, either.
Yukari from Azumanga Daioh might be a good example. "Female teacher" fetish? Like, the typical sensei-and-student storyline but with genders reversed, would be an example, but more specific than I'd like. Or, Misato, from Evangelion, even (but her character design's more youthful than I mean).
I'm looking for the correct terms I should be searching with to find titles to use on Share. Anything's help, though! Thanks!
>>658
"oyaji gal" is a dead language.It is old-fashioned expression.
"oyaji" means "middle-aged man"."oyaji gal" means "
The woman who does the behavior like the Japanese middle-aged man".
"oyaji gal" does not mean "old maid fetish".
However perhaps it does not accompany to your desire."女教師(onna kyoshi)" means "Female teacher"."強気(tsuyoki)" means "aggressive".
'"女教師" and "強気"' with all of the words search.
"熟女(jyukujo)" means "middle-aged woman".
"お姉さん(oneesan)" may means "old maid"....
(more sexal word)"痴女(chijyo)" may means "old maid fetish"
There is no self-confidence.
>>659
I can't speak Japanese very well

こちらは10年以上英語の勉強をしていません。少しずつでも思い出したいです。
Corrections for studying Japanese.Please do not get angry.
弁居＞勉強[benkyou] desu.
"お姉さん" means "elder sister".also means "the image of the woman of seniority".
「お姉さん」は、単純に「（血縁関係の）姉」を指す言葉ですが、そこから派生して年上の女性のイメージを表現する事もあります。精神年齢の年上女性ですから、２０代～３０代あたりが指される場合が多いです。
"女性(josei)" is formal(stiff??) term."女(onna)" is casual(rough) term.
「女性」はかしこまった単語なので、「女」の方が気楽な（ちょっと乱暴な）単語です。
"女戦士" or "女軍人" is true(?).
この場合、"female soldier"は「女戦士」や「女軍人」の方が適切だと思います。

According to my dictionary ぎゃあぎゃあ means (adv,n) scream, squawk, squeal
I tried looking at some japanese sites but cannot quite understand the meaning of ぎゃあぎゃあ言う
>>666
ぎゃあぎゃあ言う = nag about the smallest things
It doesn't have any other meanings.

I have a question, what does the word ぷるんぷるん stand for? (especially when used with の). Does it have a precise meaning or is it similar to words like きらきら、ぺとぺと、ピカピカ and so ?
>>669
it's the sound of something smallish, roundish, floppy...
「ぷるんぷるん」「きらきら」「ぺとぺと」「ピカピカ」は全て「副詞」です。
｢副詞｣は何かの様子を詳しく説明する言葉です。｢副詞｣はsoundとは違います｡
名詞の前につけた場合は「の」を使います。
名詞の後につけた場合は「と」を使って動詞に続けます。この場合の「と」は省略することもできます。
「ぷるんぷるん」はほとんどの場合、女性の豊な胸が揺れる様子を説明する言葉です。
例）･彼女のぷるんぷるん「の」胸に私は興奮した。（胸の前なので「の」です）
･彼女の胸がぷるんぷるん「と」揺れた。（胸の後で、揺れるに続くから「と」です）
･彼女の胸がぷるんぷるん揺れた｡(｢と｣は省略できます)
「きらきら」は宝石、星、瞳などが輝く様子を説明する言葉です。
例）･宝石がきらきら「と」輝く。
･宝石がきらきら輝く｡
･彼女のきらきら「の」瞳に私は夢中になった。
「ぺとぺと」は粘着性のものが何かに付く様子を表します。
例）･ペンキをぺとぺと「と」塗る。
･裸足で廊下をぺとぺと歩く。
「ピカピカ」は｢きらきら｣よりも強い輝きで､点滅する輝きを表します｡または良く磨かれた床、ワックスを塗った車などを説明する言葉です｡
例)･一番星がピカピカ光っている｡
･ピカピカに磨かれた床｡
･ピカピカと輝く床｡
･ワックスを塗ったので車がピカピカになった｡
副詞は必ず使わなければならないものではありません。
しかし使った方が表現が豊になりますし、やわらかい文章になります。
日本の漫画で手書きの文字は、セリフか擬音か副詞のどれかです。
副詞のいくつかには感情を意味するものがあります。
例えば「とぼとぼ歩く」。
「とぼとぼ」は「さみしい」という意味があります。
How do I type the bristle/oppai swing "彡" using IME input?
Is there a shortcut code to it?
Dictionary says "彡" is さんづくり かみかざり but neither of those lead to the bristle. The only way I can type "彡" right now is by using the IME pad to manually select it.
>>669
That "の" is a postpositional particle that follows a noun or a sound. It is somewhat similar to the English proposition "of". The word followed by the "の" adds some meaning onto the next noun.
"A の B" usually means "A's B", "B of A", "B that seems/acts like A", "B whose character is related to A", and so on.
高校の 先生 a teacher of the high school
ぴかぴかの 箱 a shiny box (a box that shines)
ぷるんぷるんの おっぱい bouncy boobs (boobs that are elastic)
By the way,
きらきら = twinkle
ぺとぺと = wet and bit sticky (for instance, I guess clay with a bit too much water is ぺとぺと)
ピカピカ = shiny (like tin)
＞What exactly is "military girl" ?
「ミリタリー少女」で良いと思います。
>>673
You need to manually select the reading for 彡.
From the language bar, choose ツール->単語/用例登録.
Once a window opens, everything is self-explanatory.
In my IME, おっぱい becomes 彡.

In the sentence "ぷにぷにってなってません？", what is the meaning of ぷにぷに?

Question. What means 「あらいっこ」?
Washing girl? Unskilled washing?
It's the title of a manga about taking a bath. Some of the text is in Kansai-ben.
>>703
To wash each other's backs.
Some of the baby words end with "っこ".
にらめっこ - To look at each other
かけっこ - To run together
Basically, "っこ" adds a meaning of do something together.
As you probably guessed, there is another "っこ" that means a kid or a girl,
such as めがねっこ (a girl with glasses).
>>704 Thanks!
The same manga has a second title, which is 「ポップンたぷたぷぬるん娘ショート」... (^_^;)
What means 「ポップン」?
Pop'n? Puppin'? Popping? Something to do with bubbles? Or maybe bursting out?
LOL. I'm not going to ask if you liked that manga or not.
I think ポップン is the English word "popping".
The author probably played with the title of an SNES shooter
「Pop'n ツインビー」 by Konami, otherwise it wouldn't come first.
First of all thanks for all the help. What's the meaning of the word Goyukuri? I've heard it in some dating games but can't find it in my dictionaries.
>>707
「ご ゆっくり (どうぞ）」＝"Please relax." or "Please make yourself at home"
Go yukkuri (douzo)
Go is a prefix to assume polite expression
yukkuri means slowly in direct.
douzo is please.
>>706 Thanks.
In that part of the sentence "ぬるん娘", what does "ん" do?
Is it to connect "ぬる" with "娘"?
I sometimes see a "ん" added in sentences near the end, like "...んです", "...ないんです", etc.
Is it for sounding better, or does it has a meaning?
>>709
Yes. 「ないのです」 almost always turns into 「ないんです」 in daily
conversation because it's easier to pronounce.
> Is it to connect "ぬる" with "娘"?
Sort of. But I think it's different from the 「ん」 of 「ないんです」.
The author may have had the word「どろんこ」(= kids word of mud) in mind.
I'm not sure.
>>710 Okay, thanks.
Hum...you seem to be an earnest learner of Japanese.
So Now I want to cheer you up
hurray,hurray Sling !
>>712 Ahem - "earnest", I'm not sure. (^^;
But thanks! Praise is the best kind of encouragement.

is it possible that ヒヒヒヒ is used as the sound of hihihihi (laughing)?
and what could っっっっ mean? is this also used as a sound for something?

it's just exclamation, i think.

I have some query about doujinshi related words.
Is the following true:
温泉 - オンライン専門 （ｓpecialise in selling online)
海鮮 - 買い専門？？ （I raelly dont know)
厭離 - オンリー （doujin events for a specific show)
胆石 - お誕生席 （What does this mean?)
ザンル - ジャンル （genre - a specific anime)
What the heck is 島 in the context of doujin events? For example 今日のｲﾝﾃで島の真ん中のｸﾙは6人ぐらい入れてたよね
What anime is 金岡 referring to?
What also is オヴァ厨? Does it refer to fangirls who are in their 30s/40s?

文脈が無いとなんとも言えないけど、
「現実で（オフラインで）顔を合わせようとしない人々」の意味もあると思う。
補う内容が"sell"なのか「顔を合わさない」かの違いだね。
>海鮮 - 買い専門？？ （I raelly dont know)
文字通り「買うだけの人」って意味だと思うけど、
「自ら描かない人」、「（否定的な意味で）創造的でない人」という意味かな。
>胆石 - お誕生席 （What does this mean?)
>>725にあるが、同人イベントで行列が出来ても大丈夫な席、
つまり有名人用の場所。
語源は「誕生日を迎えた人が宴会の主賓となることから」らしい。

Yes. その通り。同義語「オジ厨」もある。

I can't believe I didn't realise 金岡 = 鋼 in the same way ネ申 = 神 and 白勺 = 的 etc.
If you do not mind can I ask you kamis about these other names for anime shows (I find it very amusing how fans come up with these names)
【低るず亜ビス】 = Tales of Abyss?
【学園へぼん】 = Gakuen Heaven?
【特撮バイク乗り】 = ???
【女天逆門】 = Bakegyamon (妖逆門)
【輝くﾌｫｰｽ】 = ???
Actually someone should start up a thread where we list all the alternative names for these anime. Just like 鰤 = Bleach, ファ鮒 = Fafner, デス種 = Gundam Seed Destiny, etc.
実はこういうアニメの別名を示すスレ、立てばどうかな？
Was reading 痴漢男 and a few terms came up that aren't exactly clear to me.
あわよくばセクロス = I'd hit it?

Does 「スク水タイプ」 mean a school swimsuit, or a school swimsuit type, something like that? I get idea, because (obviously) there were pictures, but I'm not sure exactly what it means. I'm guessing it's a slang term?
>>753
Oh, and I should add, I'm sure I've seen the same phrase before. That's why I assume it has an established meaning, rather than being made up in the doujin.

I already found it uploaded on the net.
This is really great!
Question:
Does the sentence
"このメーカーの続編もんには期待するな"
means:
or
Most probably it means the former.
But the latter interpretation is fairly possible, especially in a colloquial expression. In this case the intonation of "な"is like a question's.
It depends on the context.
If it is "このメーカーの続編もんには期待するなあ",
only the latter is possible.
Aを期待する <=> expect A
Aに期待する <=> expect something of A
so I think the sentence translates to:
Don't expect too much of a sequel from this maker.
Or have I misread the English sentence?
>>766
Your translation is right.
The sentence is not about whether a sequel comes or not, but about whether a sequel is good or not.
The difference between Aを期待する and Aに期待する seems to be correct. But we Japanese often use either in either meaning, probably with some carelessness.
>>766>>767
There is a difference between を and に. With を, the thing that comes before it bears little possibility of materialization. So what's expressed is more like hope than expectation or anticipation.
ゴジラの復活を期待する。
We are hopeful of Godzilla's return.
(fact: no more Godzilla movies planned.)
With に, the thing has been known to happen in the future certainly.
涼宮ハルヒのアメリカデビューに期待する。
We are looking forward to Haruhi Suzumiya's US debut.
>>768
I disagree. Both を and に are used regardless of whether the event is likely(expectation) or not(hope). Examples:
ここではみんな電車が時間通りに到着することを期待している。
Everyone here expects that trains arrive in time.
(The event is likely, but only を is possible here)
彼らのプロジェクトが成功することに期待するしかない。
All we can do is to hope that their project succeeds.
(This sentence is OK even under situations where the project is very unlikely to succeed)
The difference between を期待する and に期待する is whether one expects/hopes the event itself to happen, or expects/hopes some consequence/property of the event/person/thing. In the first example, people are expecting the event that trans arrive in time, not its consequences or something, and therefore only を is possible.
That is not to say that a choice between を and に is not affected by the event probability. If one believes that an event will certainly happen, then she is likely to be interested in the outcome of the event, not the event itself, thus に is common. On the other hand, if one thinks it is uncertain whether the event happens, it is more natural to hope that it happens.
Also, を期待する and に期待する are sometimes interchangeable, because a distinction between a hope for the event and a hope for its consequence is not always clear. The second example sentence above is one of the instances, where 彼らのプロジェクトが成功することを期待する means roughly the same thing.
>>767
I'm a Japanese too, btw.
So...
I assume from the above posts that the sentence translates in the end as "Don't expect too much quality from the sequel of this maker (which may or may not be coming in the future.)"
The な at the end is more likely to be a negation ない, rather than a questioning なあ.
>>770
Right.
"続編もん" can never mean "coming of a sequel".
but if it is only "続編", it can mean "coming of a sequel" with を(orに)期待する。
For ない, the meaning is correct, but it can't replace the な.
>>768
>>769
I understand what you mean.
But
>ここではみんな電車が時間通りに到着することを期待している。
>Everyone here expects that trains arrive in time.
in this case, に seems to me still possible probably with, as I said, "some carelessness".
But do not believe me too much. I know little about Japanese grammar.
If I had time, I would try to search other instances as objective evidence...
I used your help a couple of times so far, thanks a lot for this :-)

This thread has so far been a LIFESAVER. Thank you so much to you Japanese guys/girls/wotas/whatever lurking around here and providing the invaluable help.
Here's another doujin-related question (sorry I haven't started that thread on alternate anime names yet...):
what is ハラシマ? I don't mean it as a surname, but I think it means "making (doujinshi)". An example sentence is ハラシマ中の皆さん、がんばれね！
Does it have anything to do with 原 from 原稿 being read as "hara"? Where does the "shima" come from?
Thanks in advance.
原稿＝genkou＝Manuscript
原縞＝harashima＝...?（no meaning, possible to read）
Mistake of kanji
warota.
how would you translate figurative meaning of 盥回し?
What means 半生 in relation to food?
半生麺 = half-life noodles?
Maybe: "Fresh noodles"?
生 means raw.
Half raw noodles??
>>784
Maybe It means 'not dry'. Maybe it tastes like 生麺 and We can kepp it longer than 生麺.
my Japanese teacher says something like "kyo wa koredoushimasu" when class ends. what did he say exactly and what does it mean?
doo kangaete mo 「 kyoo wa kore de osimai desu。 」 daro、 zyoosiki-teki ni ……
It depends on the situation.
How do you want to deal with this today?
どー かんがえて も 「 きょー ゎ これ で おしまい です。 」 だろ、 じょーしき = てき に …………
789 insist that you misheard it.
Your teacher probably said,"kyo wa korede osimsideu"
that means "that's all for today"
>>788
I agree with >>789 because the teacher says it when class ends.
The last part should be "oshimai desu" or "oshimai ni shimasu."
"oshimai desu" = it ends.
"oshimai ni shimasu" = I (will) put an end on it.
What he meant was "Today's lesson is over" or "I end today's lesson now."
I guess the most difficult part to non Japanese speakers is "Kyou wa." Maybe it seems gramatically incorrect but it's okay.
"Kyou" is no proble. It's just a noun, "today."
The particle "wa" (written as は) is a little troublesome.
"Kyou wa" can mean
(1) "Kyou (today)" is a subject. "Today is..."
(2) "Kyou (today)" is a condition. "As for today's matter/case/activity etc. ..."
The second usage is very common.
And "kore" means "this."
So, a word for word translation of "Kyou wa korede oshimai desu" is:
"As for today's lesson, it ends at this point."
-------------------
By the way, as >>790 write, "kore dou shimasu" means "How do you want to deal with this?" For example, suppose you go to your office and find a heap of towering documents on a desk, you would ask your boss, "Kore dou shimasu? (What should I/we/you deal with this?)"
But I guess this pharse is usually used before you start something, not when you end something.
793 is professer
今日はこれで御仕舞いです。
Hello, I have another question, and the answer might not be straightforward because Japanese grammar is nothing like English grammar.
How would I use a question word in a sentence that isn't a question? For example:
"What did he tell you?" "What he told me was good."
or, "Why did you go to the mall?" "I don't know why I went to the mall."
In both examples, the second sentence uses a question word to help answer the question, but the question word isn't used to ask the question.
How would I say these sentences in Japanese? Thanks!
I'm no expert at the language (far from it), but I'll try.
"What he told me was good."
I'd say as "The thing he told me was good".
彼に聞いた事がいいです。
kare ni kiita koto ga ii desu.
"I don't know why I went to the mall."
This one's more like "I don't know the reason I went to the mall".
モールに行ったのは分かりません。
mo-ru ni itta no wa wakarimasen.
Maybe those more knowledgeable can fix my poor attempts.
What does タチが悪い or タチの悪い mean?
「 tacyi ga warui 」
kore wa aite no seesicu o arawasu hyoogen。 kono baai no 「 aite 」 wa mono demo hito demo kamawanai。
「 tekozuraserareru seesucu 」 no koto o arawaru hyoogen。
「 tacyi 」 wa 「 seesicu 」 「 seekaku 」 to yuu imi no hurui Nippon Kotoba。 「 otonasii tacyi no hito 」 nado、 iroiro ni cukawareru。
I'm no expert at the language (far from it), but I'll try.
＊
"Why did you go to the mall?"
「 nande omae wa ano mooru ni itta no ? 」
「 なんで おまえ ゎ あの もーる に いった の？ 」
"I don't know why I went to the mall."
「 nande watasi wa ano mooru ni itta ka zibun demo wakaranai。」
「 なんで わたし ゎ あの もーる に いった か じぶん でも わからない。」
>>796
(I'm a native speaker, but not a grammar expert)
I can think of two ways of saying such things. The first is, as >>797 pointed out, to rewrite the sentence using a relative clause before translating it.
The thing he told me was interesting.
彼が言っていたことは面白かったです。
(By the way, I replaced "good" with "interesting" because I don't know what "What he told me was good." means)
I don't know the reason why I went to the mall.
私がモールに行った理由は分かりません。
The second way is to embed the question into the sentence. If X is a question ending with か, X in a sentence means "the answer to the question X"
I don't know the answer to the question "why do I went to the mall?"
なぜ私がモールに行ったかは分かりません。
This sounds a bit more natural than the previous sentence, but you can't apply this method to the first example.
何を彼に聞いたかは面白かったです。
is meaningless, just as
The answer to the question "What did he tell me?" was interesting.
>>798
Evil, bad, or difficult to handle. My dictionary says "nasty".
「 たち が わるい 」
これ ゎ あいて の せーしつ ぉ あらわす ひょーげん。 この ばーい の 「 あいて 」
ゎ もの でも ひと でも かまわない。
「 てこずらせられる せーしつ 」 の こと ぉ あらわす ひょーげん。
「 たち 」 ゎ 「 せーしつ 」 「 せーかく 」 と ゆー いみ の ふるい ニッポン
コトバ。 「 おとなしー たち の ひと 」 など、 いろいろ に つかわれる。
>>769
"What he told me was good."
I guess this "what" is a pronoun that means "the thing/fact which..."
Japanese usually say "こと koto," which is kind of a general-purpose pronoun.
What he told me = 彼が 私に 言った こと (kare ga watashi ni itta koto)
What she did = 彼女が やった こと (kanojo ga yatta koto)
The phrases placed before こと are assumed as adjective parts. So "kare ga watashi ni itta koto" forms a noun clause, thus you can use this part as a subject.
A word for word translatin of "what he told me was good" is "彼が 私に いったことは よかった."
This translation is gramatically correct and understandable but sounds somewhat strange because the adjective "よい" (good) is usally (not always) used before noun. Japanese says "彼は 私に よいことを いった (He told me a good thing)." However, "彼が 私に いったことは 正しかった (What he told me was right/correct/true)." is no problem.
"こと" is used to refer to an abstract, an idea, or a fact. If you refer to a physical object such as a book, a building, an animal, you can use "もの mono" (thing/object).
Example.
"What he bought (the thing he bought) was very expensive."
= 彼が 買った もの は とても 高価 だった.
"こと" and "もの" are sometimes interchangable.
"What the novelist wrote"
= その小説家が 書いた こと/もの
In this case, while こと tends to mean the storyline or the idea the novelist wrote, もの means the book. But the difference between them is not clear.
東海岸と西海岸どっちのほうがオタク多いの？
Thank you everyone for the responses. I understand a little better, now.
So pretty much anything before "こと" or "もの" turns into a noun phrase?
And, what verb tense are you using? I've only been studying for 5 months and I don't recognize it :)
いった/やった/ -> Past tense
> So pretty much anything before "こと" or "もの" turns into a noun phrase?
I think it's safe to say so. (But you sometimes need to insert few other words between the phrase and こと or もの.)
And いった and やった are the past tense of いう(say) and やる(do).
The particle "た ta" is uses to make the past tense. It is like the English suffix "-ed" added to regular English verbs.
-------
(This is kind of off topic.)
Strictly speaking, "た" is a marker which indicates that the action had/has/will have been done before a certain point. So, "た" does not always means a past action. If the certain point is not told, it is assumed to be "now," thus "た" means an action before now.
"こと" can be added at the last part of a sentence to emphasize the speaker's feelings.
Example
それは たいへんです。
それは たいへんなこと です。
それは たいへんです こと。
The first two examples simply mean "That's terrible" or "That's a terrible thing." But the last one hints that the speaker may be indifferent, irritated or teasing. (It depends on the situation.)
I was taught that the past tense was something like this:
"かいます", "かいました", "かいませんでした" for all verbs, adjectives using です are different depending on the adjective.
is what you're using a less formal past tense form?
"かう" itself just means "buy", which is neither formal nor informal. "ます" is an auxiliary verb used to express politeness, which is usually placed after the last verb.
Example:
わたしは ほんを かう. (I buy a book.)
わたしは ほんを かいます. (Same as above but more polite)
わたしは ほんを かった. (I bought a book.)
わたしは ほんを かいました. (Same as above but more polite)
"かい" is a variation of the verb "かう." When "かう" is followed by a particle or an auxiliary verb, its form changes to "かい." And like you said, "かいます" is politer.
A simple sentence has only one verb, so just adding "ます" to the verb is all right.
When you make a noun clause, you don't need to add "ます" to the verb in the clause.
Example:
わたしが かった ほんは、きょう ここに き ます.
The book I bought comes here today.
Here, "き" is a variation of the verb "くる (come)."
"きます" (くる + ます) is a politer way of saying "くる" and Japanese usually use this form when speaking.
But you don't need to say "わたしが かいました ほんは..." (I think it's maybe okay but somewhat awkward.)
I think that there is a problem with the way Japanese tends to be taught to non-native speakers - it seems like everyone gets the standard polite form first, even though that's not the way native speakers learn it! It does make the grammar more difficult to understand, at least in my opinion, all for the sake of being able to have an occasional simple conversation in Japanese sooner.
>>811
One of my korean friends always tries to speak some Japanese, and what he said to me is "私は変態です" and "我が輩は天才です. I don't know how he came up with those words, but I guess it is quite difficult to learn how the end of sentences change (in this case "です"). Japanese language contains lots of complex grammer and exceptions, so in order to learn it easily they need to study the simplest form first.
*"私は変態です"(わたしは へんたい です--watashi ha hentai desu) means I am perverted. Sorry.
*"我が輩は天才です"(わがはいは てんさい です--wagahai ha tensai desu) means I am genius. "我が輩" is an arrogant way of saying "I", and today not many people use it, unless jocularly.
In my opinion, teaching polite way of speaking first is safer and more practical. I wrote that "わたしが かいました ほん..." sounds a bit awkward. However, I'm sure no one would think the speaker is rude or offensive. It is still polite and acceptable. So, I don't think the teacher who teaches jeff is wrong.
(If it is not a conversation but a writing class, I say the gramatical correctness should be more important, though. Anyway, it's impossible to study everything at once.)
well it is pretty much a half conversation half writing class. I'm only in my second semester of learning Japanese so there is probably a lot more to learn about technical grammar which will be revealed later.
>>814
It might be the first step in the right direction to learn about grammar, but after one has some knowledge on it, he should start to actually use it and construct sentences.
In this point, the English education system in Japan is (was) wrong. All the efforts put into studying English focus on English-Japanese translations. Instead of that, Japan should better have students write what they want to convey in English,
IMO.
Well, Japanese grammar again. I think 敬語(keigo) is the toughest part to learn. It's used to pay respect to the person one talks to.
Hello all, another simple question
I hear this word often, I'm not sure what it means because it's hard to hear each syllable and so i can't look it up. It sounds something like "dasukedo". Any help on this? Thank you.
Maybe "da kedo"? "desu kedo"?
Both of those would mean "it's (something), but..."
And "kedo" being a shortened form of "keredomo".
what's ba gai ya lo?
>>818
Are you sure it's Japanese? A quick search on the google engine
told me the pronunciation of "ba gai ya lo" was how Chinese and Taiwanese people say "馬鹿野郎". In Japanese, it's usually pronounced as "ba ka ya ro".
It means "idiot" in English.
I hope this helps.
What's a よろずサイト? Does it refer to a general fansite? (i.e. one that does not focus only on one specific series)?
>>821
よろず means "millions of" something. If it's よろず屋（屋 is "shop" or "store"), that means a shop that deals with a wide range of commodities and products. In this case, I believe, the website deals with a lot of topics.
We can't tell from the name よろずサイト whether the site deals with "milions of" what until we actually pay a visit to it, although I'm assuming from your question the website offers lots of topics for fans of some Managas or something.
I hope this helps.
Ok, thanks. Yeah, I think it means a site that deals with a range of anime/manga fandoms, not any particular one. I don't want to link to the site but anyway I see it on quite a number of places. For example tehre might be a particular anime they have a 分館 for but their 本館 - main site - would be a よろずサイト and feature a number of things like BASARA and Tales of Abyss and so on.
Thanks once again.

What does デコ助 mean? Maybe it's a variation of でこ坊?
>>831
Maybe it's just a nickname and you're right. "すけ（助）" is a typical suffix for old-fashioned male names.
what does "Fighto-oh!" mean?
I'm new here and I'm really impressed with what I've seen. If any one could please help me out with this:
私も一緒にしてあげる
I understand the first part roughly, but what does shite ageru mean? I'm familiar with suru, te-form, and ageru seperately, but the combination is lost on me. The context is one student is telling another student that he shares a problem with the other.
Thanks for your time.
I have one more question actually,
本当にしてくれるの？
I know 本当に but the してくれるの has me guessing.
You know あげる and くれる, right?
They are basically to give and to be given.
So,
私も一緒にする = We will do it together.
私も一緒にしてあげる = We will do it together, so thank me.
本当にするの？ = Are you really going to do it?
本当にしてくれるの？ = Are you really going to do it for me? That's very kind of you.
And Arnold is usually spelled "アーノルド".
>>834
してくれる would be asking a person to do something for you and してあげる would be offering to do the action for someone else. If you always think of yourself as being below the person with whom you are talking in status, then an action you "give to" or "do for" the other person must go "up" and an action the other person "gives to" or "does for" you must go "down."
上げる would be raising the action up for the other person
くれる would be receiving the action from someone above you
Try reading with the bracketed sections for the literal meaning and without them for the normal meaning in English:
私も一緒にしてあげる = "I'll also [give you the action of] do[ing] it with you"
本当にしてくれるの？ = "Will you really [give me the action of] do[ing] it?"
You can use 上げる and くれる with any verb, for example:
これを読んでくれる？ Will you read this?
彼に本を読んであげてね Read the book for him.
It sounds rather rude to say "so thank me." I really don't think that's the nuance that あげる has to it.
How about たっちゃった?
Could you say which conjugations are at work here? Just name them, I'll research them myself.
Thanks again, especially 名無し先生, you really helped me understand the "-te ageru/kureru" part well.
たつ would mean to stand up
たっちゃう would be standing up, with the nuance that it happened accidentally.
たっちゃった is just the past tense of the accidental standing.

Some phrases I can't decipher:
ありがとうございます
シビレ=痺れ=numbness

"Yoshi, fightooooooo-oh!"
くらさい→ください
いいんひょ→いいんちょ
なんれ？→なんで？
(?)ひぇんひぇひゃらだが→先生ならだが
:ネギまっぽかったから勝手に邪推して「先生」としたが、正直言って自信ない。
When a tongue does not move well
there can be the thing that that kind of pronunciation.
ex
だ、駄目ぇっ！→ら、らめぇっ！（no!
いじめてください→いじめてくらしゃひぃっっ！（Let me have a terrible experience
お願いします→おにゃがいひまひゅう～～（please, I do a wish.
judge it from TPO.
A dialect
arigatou-gozaimasu
a(r)igat-goza(i)mass
ah-to-gozahs
azah-s
ass
This is kinda random guess, but possibly, "ひぇんひぇひゃらだが" is "せんせい、からだが・・・" and the student was trying to say someting like "Teacher, my body is strange / won't move..."
"一時間程度でそのシビレはとれるから"
"The numbness will wear off within one hour or so. (So don't worry.)"
"いいんひょなんれ？"
-> "いいんちょう、なんで？" Class Rep, why?
"やめてくらさい"
-> "やめて ください" Please stop it / don't do it.
Yoshi, fightooooooo-oh!"
I also have heard くらはい = ください. Try pronouncing "kudasai" while brushing your teeth or having something in your mouth, it will sound like "kurahai".
I have also seen stuff like です→でう
e.g. もーいっぱいでう＾＾＾＾
and 楽しみましょう→楽しみませう
Is the last one due to old-style pronounciation? I find it very interesting. for example よう→やう in some cases apparently. like きょう becomes けう or けふ as in the poem いろはにほへと. 有為の奥山今日越えて = ゐのおくやまけふこえて or something like that
Wasn't tokyo called とうけう or とうきやう or something like that.
Yoshi, fightooooooo-oh!
Tokyo is spelled as とうきやう in the old-style kanji-kana transcription system (字音). I doubt that it was actually pronounced like that, however, since the name Tokyo was established after the Meiji Restoration (1868), before which the city was called Edo, while that transcription system is modeled on very old (B.C. 1000, for example) pronunciations.
Yoshi, fightooooooo-oh!
>>851
You're right.
That "せう" in "楽しみませう" is an old way of writing "しょう." Possibly, in the old age, Japanese people actually said "seu." Those days the letters represented the sounds correctly. But, pronunciation tends to change faster than writing style.

Can anyone tell me the difference between
そうじゃない。
and
そうじゃなくて。
They both say "(that's) not so", but do they have the same meaning?
Thanks in advance.
そうじゃない。 is a normal terminal phrase.
そうじゃなくて。 is a continuing phrase.
ie., "it's not so, but ....." or "it's not so, and ....."
If you're sure そうじゃなくて。 has period, latter sentences are omitted.

It must be "産業文化 sangyou bunka" by direct translation.
But usually we don't use the phrase "産業文化".
I tried to recommend you other phrase instead, but sorry, there's no suitable ones.
I think it's better to use "インダストリアル・カルチャー Indasutoriaru karucha-". Yes! Yes! It works pretty much!
lately Half of Japanese conversations are filled by English.
So I guarantee that the words "インダストリアル・カルチャー Indasutoriaru karucha-" work perfectly.
Hello,
How would you say a time expression like, "all day, every day" in Japanese? For example:
"I want to sleep all day, every day."
Thanks!
all day -> 一日中, 朝から晩まで or 二十四時間
every day -> 毎日
「毎日一日中眠っていたい」
>>890
If I ware you, I'd choose "朝から晩まで from morning to night" to
make it more natural.
「毎日朝から晩まで眠りたい」

何を日本語に「Ｆｏｒｅｖｅｒ」ですか？
(Did I even say that right? I tried doing:
"What is [forever] in Japanese？". Help? OTZ)
"Life is too beautiful to spend alone."
How would you say this in Japanese? This statement implies that you should share life with someone else to harness the true beauty of life. I don't know the proper construction for this, can someone help?
And please use kana; I only know about 90 simple kanji.
Thank you!

what's pgr, I see it here and there on 2ch (is it supposed to be pkr = pakuri?)
also, can someone explain the link between this "be" thing and 2ch
>>917
The place used ..unpalatable.. doesn't stay in especially twoch though it
is "パクリ" (pakuri).
You may think parody = Pakuri.
However, please note that malice is often especially contained when
saying, "Pakuri".
"Pgr" becomes it , saying that "プゲラ" (pugera) if it pronounces.
It is a word that matches two imitation sound "プッ,Ptsu" when jeering and "
ゲラゲラ,Galley galley", and abbreviates it.

Hi,
How would you say a clause like, "with all of my heart"? For example, "I love you with all of my heart."
Thank you.
>>Jeff
心から君を愛してる
Kokoro kara kimi wo aishiteru
=I love you with all my heart/from the bottom of my heart
心から貴方を愛している
Kokoro kara anata wo aishiteiru
=I love you with all my heart/from the bottom of my heart
(you can replace 'anata' with the persons name...)
With all my heart/From the bottom of one's heart =「心から」(Kokoro kara.)
(Btw, I'm not a native speaker, so if I'm mistaken somewhere someone please correct me)
ところで、日本語はうちの母語じゃないから間違ってるところがあるなら、誰か直して頂けませんか。＾＾；
Ah, also:
"wholeheartedly" = 心をこめて（愛してる）

Hope that helps
fucking hell what does it mean.

Can someone translate this for me?
Excuse my ignorance, but what does "ktkr" stand for? I've been told that it's an abbreviation of "kitekure" but I lack the knowledge to know what that means as well.
in network jargon,Even if it is a native, It isn't understood what to be and it was so.
ktkr is an abbreviation of "kita! kore! "（キタ！コレ！） meaning of "It's came!"
(by the way "kite kure" mean "come here". this is wrong.)
A;Does EVANGELION seem to become a theater animation agein?
B:Realy? kita kore!
C:Wooo! kita kore!
D:kita kore!
E:ktkr!
Incidentally, "キタコレ" isn't used in formal Japanese very much.
(like baby word.When it translates literally キタコレ= come it !)
While it is glad in the long-awaited product information and キタコレ！ is said
more short abbreviation "ktkr" was born.
If It isn't finished if it is only translated by the machine and it doesn't lead.
I'm trying to translate a doujin and I'm pretty good with the grammar and haven't had too much trouble with the vocab (using Jim Breen's JDIC when I've come to words that stump me), but I can't find adequate translations for the following onomatopoeia. I have a good general feel for what they mean, but "good general feel" doesn't cut it when you want to translate for others to read. So ... can anybody tell me what these mean, and where I might find a website online providing definitions for these and other "Hな言葉"?
Sorry if this doesn't belong here; I wasn't sure whether to post here or in Doujinshi.
thank you better late than never bye.
what does it mean in japanese?
>>932
im not good at english...but ill try to explain...
ずくずく maybe it means "fingers or something like a pole comes and goes into a hole" sounds.i dont know what happens in dojinshi in front of you.
ぐちゅぐちゅ sounds like wettish and its little sticky.
by teh way im drawing doujinshi too.
i wonder if you translate mine someday;)
I don't know if Japanese has an equivalent saying or not for "better late than never", but here is my rough attempt to put it into Japanese: 「遅いであるの方が全然着かないのよりいい」. Not even sure that I said it correctly :( , but it reads "It's better to be late than to not show up at all." I would be interested in an answer to this translation question, too.
>>936
Do you have to somehow have the phrase "show up" in the saying? Anyway, there is no quivalent saying in Japanese. It has to be translated literaly. Something like 遅くともしないよりはまし.
This is quite a tall order but I was wondering if anyone could translate this (even roughly), it is the lyrics to the song I wanna be a VIPSTAR
I wanna be a VIPSTAR 君をもっと夢中にそれなんてエロゲ？
ﾃﾗﾜﾛｽVIP STAR 腕を広げブーンをさせてあげよう君だけに
ｽﾚに出会えた喜びとｸｿｽﾚを見た寂しさの
両方を手に入れてﾈﾗｰは走り出す
空は飛べるよﾌﾞｰﾝだから孤独ばかりの夜だけど
VIPPERに微笑みを与えられたなら
初めてｽﾚに書き込んだ瞬間にFOX★が僕に下した指名は僕にだけｱｸ禁
I wanna be a VIPSTAR 君をもっと夢中にそれなんてエロゲ？
ﾃﾗｷﾓｽ VIP STAR 腕を広げブーンをさせてあげよう
I wanna be a VIP STAR 君をぎゅっと抱きしめてあげるからうぇｗｗｗうぇｗｗｗ
ｷﾞｶﾞﾜﾛｽVIP STAR うはｗｗｗおｋｗｗｗ把握ｗｗｗ魔法をかけてあげよう君だけに
隠していた妹の下着そっと拾い上げて
大切なクオリティなんだとうｐしてくれた
働いたら負けかなと思ってる
精子付きさ この右手は君と手をつなぐために
I wanna be a VIP STAR 君をもっと夢中にさせてよ微笑んで
ｷﾀｺﾚ！のVIPSTAR そのアナルに君はﾌﾘｽｸを入れて
I wanna be a VIP STAR あるある…ねーよｗｗｗ抱きしめたらもう離さない
ハピ☆マテのVIP STAR そのキモさで光る風を追い越して今すぐに
ｽﾚを立てたら誰もが誰かのVIP STAR
ひろゆきが僕に下した指名は君だけのヒーロー
I wanna be a VIP STAR 君をもっと夢中にさせてあげるからね
キラキラのVIPSTAR 腕を広げ魔法をかけてあげよう君だけに
I wanna be a VIP STAR 君をぎゅっと抱きしめてあげるからおいで
キラキラのVIP STAR 腕を広げ魔法をかけてあげよう君だけに
can anyone help me with the translation of かましてくる ？
スペイン大和魂かましてきた。
かます is the abbreviation of ぶちかます, to strike a blow.
I don't know what スペイン大和魂 exactly means, but I suppose the translation is "The Spanish struck a blow of Japanese spirits at us."

Don't waste your time with such a stupid thing. 笑
A conversation:
Person A: 「テレビ
見よっと」
="Let's watch TV"
Person B: 「みのにして
みの」
What's みのにして / みの?
I'm guessing it means "Let's see it."?
It's Mino Monta.

一応言っとくがその曲名は"I wanna be a VIPSTAR"じゃないぞ？
とりあえず"POP STAR"の歌詞を訳すのからしてみれば？
>>946
あなたは頭が悪いですね？
I,m zapanese!

全面的に協力すべきじゃあるまいか？ ＜－－Can someone help me with this?
>>951
Shouldn't we cooperate in every possible way?
Oh, "we cooperate" may be misleading.
I meant "cooperate with them", not "cooperate with each other".
Hey, it's true that サーセン is like a lazy way of saying すみません right.
Are there any other examples like that?
>it's true that サーセン is like a lazy way of saying すみません right.
「サーセン」で謝っているのは確かだと思うけど、本当に「すみません」の略なのかは俺は知らないな。

銀行いったってんなら オレのダチの入院費 カンパしてくれんだよな？ ＜－－ Can someone help me with that?
ダチ＝ともだち
カンパする＝献金する(to donate)
入院費＝hospital expenses
Putting it in comprehensible Japanese,
あなたは銀行に行ったのだから、私の友達の入院費のために献金してくれますよね？
what is "pharking hell" in jappo
こんな不幸な人だっている！！＜－－Can someone explain the usage of "だっている" in this sentence for me?
>>956
Sorry for kame-resu but thank you very much for this!! I find it very interesting. I'd type back in Japanese but this lousy computer doesn't have an IME
I think it was more than helpful enough.
It's datte iru. Not one word. Two words. datte means like "even" (as in "there even are girls on 4ch!") and iru means "is/are", used for animate objects like humans. so your sentence means "Even such unlucky people exist!" or something like that.
売ってたっけん ←－Can someone explain what this means?
>>963
there is even someone with this level of serious misfortune.
こんなんじゃだめ？
>>966
means "it is sold there" but けん
is, I guess, a dialect from Kyushu area.
What's "phucking Jason Bourne kicks ass" in Japo?
I've seen the expression 「気になる」around. What does it mean?
やらしたんじゃない！←－Can someone tell me what this means?
私をマワせて。。。
Is that something like "I am made(caused) to turn and..."？
>>978
Thanks. :D

Bottom left hand corner.
>>979
You could pass me around.
それ、幼馴染が恥ずかしそうにする感じで頼む
翻訳して
>>981
That means grouprape, the kanji is "輪姦"せて.
>>983
Check the context again.
what is fuckwit in japanese?
I agree with >>983.
That sentence means:
You successfully gang-raped me and Miyu, and you're satisfied, aren't you?
What means the sound effect 「ぽあー」 when it's put near a face?
Surprise? Blush?
And 「ポン...｝?
Surprise? Shock?
ぽあー is a coined onomatopoeia so I can't tell for certain, but I think it's same as ぽけー or ぼけー.
Gawking, spaced-out,dazed, vacant mind, brainles, or like those.
ポン is the equivalent for "phut" or the sound effect for popping up. It shows someone hitting on a idea when it's used with an electric bulb figure.
>>988
How about ピンポン? As far as I can tell, it's probably something like "Bing! Correct answer!", but I'm not sure.
>>990 Something like that, yes. It's like, Ding Dong, or along the lines of a ringing bell.
ピンポン is the typical sound effect used in TV quiz show.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-1KYL3xn0k&mode=related&search=
The SE at 2:44 is ピンポン.
The opposite term is ブー.
Check 3:55 of that youtube movie.
The meaning of "顎しゃくり" is eluding me. An hour of Google didn't really help me figure out what it means, though I suspect it isn't pleasant... help please? orz
