orz if you plz
>>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.
i'm sorry to be all style cramping but dqn sprung a leak and now i'm all curious about how this dragonstuff comes out in moonlanguage (see following link)

In general, it is used for the expression that shows the appearance
where a cylinder shape thing reciprocates in the cave of the body.
It is often used for the topic of the lower half of the body.
Synonym：バコバコ（bakobako)
思うにズコズコという擬音語はズボズボから
派生したものではないだろうか。状態を正しく
言い表しているのはズボという擬音語のような気がする。
そしてそれはズブリやズカズカやズケズケに通じるものが
ある気がする。バコバコはちょっと違う気がする。
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 _
thank you everyone.
I thought that the sentence was something like a slang. ehehe

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"?
can some one tell me what 本文なし means?

I have a lantern with following text on it: 火の用心.
What could it mean? Something like "be careful with fire"?
Right. Volunteers from neighborhood association patrol town with the lantern in winter fire season.
>285 Jamaika
It's a grammatical error on purpose to pun.
The correct is -じゃあるまいか -ja aru maika.

PAYAO is a 2channel meme. They made it because Miyazaki doesn't have "official" nickname.

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.
Can we get away by calling it the Ultimate Zone?

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)
先っぽ (sakippo)

先っぽ (also 先っちょ) is a colloquial expression of 先端(せんたん), which means point, tip, end, etc.

OK,then what is 先っぽカール
>>336
A name of a hairstyle such as this ↓
http://www.rasysa.com/pkg/contest/styleimage/cs10959-5.jpg
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.)
oic, thanks! Yes, it was a response to this http://nijiura.com/illust/siokara.php?res=81
>>353
Tee Hee... Exactly, "that's a nice picture of a hussy's smoking."
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.

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."
