Any question?
I don't think it's a compound, it's really just 'poten'. First I thought it's short for 'potential' or 'potency', but it must be smth else. Seem's there is a ポテン・ヒット in baseball, but I don't really understand what it is and where it comes from.
Going to Japan in June. How do I say "I'm hypoglycemic, I need to eat every 4 to 6 hours." in Japanese? I don't want any surprises.
Watashi wa teikettoushou nanode yojikan kara rokujikan gotoni mono wo tabenakereba ikemasen
I forgot to come back and check. Thank you so much for that, hopefully it will serve me well.

What is going on here?
What does it say?
http://kei.iichan.net/sand/src/1268761273209.png
"あんかーベークだっけ？"?
>>506
Because the resolution of the image is low, it seems "ベータ" or "ベーク".
I don't know what is "ベーク".
Perhaps, "あんかー" means anchor and "ベータ" means beta.
"あんかーベークだっけ？" = Is it anchor beta ?
Hmm…I don't understand only from these sentences.
>>507
Ah yes, it could be "beta".
http://kei.iichan.net/sand/src/1268794822963.jpg
It's a story about "alpha waves", so it could be a comment about beta waves.
Maybe "あんふー ベータ だっけ？"...
>>508
I have understood somehow.
That sentence may be "あんれーベータだっけ？".
＝あれ？ Is it bata wave?
(sorry, I don't have idea to translate "あれ？")
I think, the author warns that the written content about brain wave is not necessarily accurate.
He(She) might want the reader to enjoy it only as a fiction.
What means "ゴッスリ"?
Wounded? Fainted? Knocked out?
It looks like someone ordered something at the McDonald's drive through, waited for them to finish cooking it, and then drove off without taking it or paying for it. Then they uploaded it to Youtube, and a bunch of people on the internet saw it and got angry. The segment seemed to be as much about the online response as it was about the video itself.
ただ今より「title」を上映致します。
How do I say in a similar manner that a piece of music「title」 will be played/performed?
「title」 = name of the album, but the fact that it's an album doesn't have to be mentioned unless it's necessary.
I would only like to replace from the above sentence the fact that a movie will be screened into-> 「title」 (music album) will be played.
Thanks in advance! :)
>>513
Are you the one who sings, plays an instrument, etc.? If so,
ただ今より「title」を演奏致します。
If it's just a CD, an mp3 file, etc.,
ただ今より「title」を再生致します。
Question:
What is this kanji?
http://kei.iichan.net/sand/src/1275668576461.png
It looks like 這, but it has a different radical.
Does it have another meaning?
>>515
It is the same character as "這".
When the standard of the style of type was provided, they were not united.
Should I wear a T-shirt that says:
うほ, いい 女! やらないか?

Can anybody give me a good summary of this thread? http://academy6.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1266626265/
What I can summarize with my poor Japanese is they talking about omegle user's horniness, dialect of english, racism, and some other things. Am I right with that?
I have a problem with this sentence:
鬼武者ノ小路系ヤクザに売り渡し・・・
a yakuza in "onimushanokouji" style? What is it?
Is there some connection with the writer 武者小路実篤 (Mushanokouji Saneatsu)?
Thank you!
I have never heard "onimushanokouji-kei yakuza".
I googled it. you are watching "hayate no gotoku", aren't you?
It is name of fictional yakuza family.
In nonfiction, there are many yakuza families in Japan.
"yamaguchi-gumi kei" "sumiyoshi-kai kei" ,and so on...
"kei（系列）" means a group of closely related companies.
Hayate's author may be inspired by Saneatsu.
Yeah, I was reading Hayate!
So you say it's the name of the family? I didn't thought of that ipothesys, since they were using 系 and not 家...
Well, thank you for the answer! ^^
My pleasure.
Organization of Japanese Yakuza is complex.
It looks like a huge corporation.
For example,
Many secondary families belong to Yamaguchi gumi.
In this case, "kei" don't mean "style" like "shibuya-kei" "akiba-kei"
ああ
What does 「さむらいて」 mean? And when is it used?
TIA.
I would like some help translating a video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=201YtaOGs24
5:30-6:05 is untranslated. Could someone please tell me what is being said?
It is two or three voices.
>>529
It's okay, I've figured it out. 「侍て」 looks very similar to 「待て」 in writing, so it is used for pun effect in this way.
You come to see me again?
I don't want to return to the world where I used to be.
So, just leave me alone.
No way! Dying from a disease is the last thing I would ever hope for.
But, imagining myself aging to death even drives me madder.
I think the translator made a good job in fansubbing the video overall, but there is a misunderstood line in it as far as I've found out.
2:50 it's not a very amusing song.->it's a very amusing song, isn't it?
It is an ambiguous sentence where meanings depend on the stressed word.
Can somebody translate these track lists for me please?

1:
Thats Sir Tamura.
Its insolence if I stay here with him.
true, we gonna leave.
2:
Thats Sir Tamura.
I cant see him because divine of him.
Ah-
dont see him.
3:
I want child of Sir Tamura.
Me too.
dont be stupid. Sir Tamura will keep his asceticism and honest poverty for entire life.
4:
Sir Tamura would take man's sin and misfortune on purpose.
So its wrong when he is happy.
What kind of laughter is described as コロコロ笑う?
TIA
The phrase describes people laugh
even with small jokes.
It has a cute nuance so it used for a situation such as,
for example, when a girl frequently laughs or giggles in a conversation and her smile is lovely...
So it's not used for a elder man who is laughing "WAHAHAHAHA!"
Sorry for my awkward English,,, I'm learning it.
>>547
Thanks for your help!
And don't worry about your english, it's much better than my japanese!
What does this phrase mean?
あの背中に笑われない男になる
>>549
その台詞はグレンラガンよりだよな。
文脈を除いて時、英語の意味がちょっと不明になるけど
「On that back, I will become a man who does not laugh」と言うのはOK翻訳だと思う。
失礼します、この文章のso...thatって正しい使い方ですか？
She is so famous that I thought everyone knew her.
それとも
She is so famous, so I thought everyone knew her.
この形はどうでしょうか？
あるいは以下の形も使えますか？
As she is so famous, I though everyone knew her.
I though everyone knew her since she is so famous.
>>551
"She is so famous that I thought everyone knew her"
ええ、英語でこの文章の文法は最も正しいです。
しかし「that」はあまり必要じゃありません。
"She is so famous, I thought everyone knew her"もOKです。
”She is so famous, so I thought everyone knew her. ”
この手の文章は小学生の作文みたいね。
現実的にごっそり間違いませんけど子供っぽいの感じがあります。
”As she is so famous, I thought everyone knew her.”
この文章で「Because」の方が「As」より使うべきだと思います。
英語でこんな節の最初に「As」を使ったら、ちょっと気障な感じがある。
I thoughｔ everyone knew her since she is so famous.
正しいけど以上の文章と同じ問題がある。大抵「since」は日本語の「から」の意味を持って、このところ「Because」（日本語の「ので」）の方がいいです。
>>553
いいえ、なんでもない
専攻は英語だからそれぐらいは当然のことさ
将来にもっと頼みがあれば遠慮なく貼ってね

(This is gibberish that purposely doesn't mean anything. It could be translated tons of ways but it's basically like saying "The condore has landed" or something ambigously dramatic before you end a conversation, making everyone think some serious shit is going down).

What does it mean?
This song sounds funny and I can't understand some parts.
Translation please.

>>557
it's maybe "フフーン♪", not ”つつーンヤロ".
it's a imitative word, which means boastfulness.
Question:
What means:
"いつでも
捕まえられると
高くくって
泳がしてた犯人を"
Is it: "When you catch a criminal you have to make him pay for his crime"?
以下の文章を翻訳する方法について
私の日本語授業の同級生と相談しようとしましたが
誰もはっきりと正しい翻訳し方を思い付くことが出来なかったんだ
だから、ご存知人は私に手伝って下さいませんか？
英語は「If it becomes too hot, the ice will melt」
又は「When it becomes too hot, the ice will melt」
色んな翻訳を思ったけど正しくて相応しくて不自然がない翻訳を探しています。
「暑すぎになったら、氷は溶けてしまう」か
「暑すぎてきたら、氷は溶けてしまう」か
簡単に「温度はある限りを超えると氷は溶けるはずだ」と言いたいです。
でも「If/When it becomes too hot」の所には迷っています。
よろしくお願いします。
>>565
「暑くなったら、氷は溶けてしまうだろう。」
だと思うよ。
日本語学習がんばってね。VIPPERより。
If/When = ～なら、～すると
it becomes hot = 暑くなる
too = ～すぎる、余りに～だ
したがって、「If/When it becomes too hot, the ice will melt」は
「暑くなりすぎると、氷は溶けてしまう」または、
「余りに暑くなると、氷は溶けてしまう」と訳すことができます。
「暑すぎになる」という言い方は自然な日本語ではないです。
「暑くなりすぎる」の方が自然ですよ。
>>564
It is an incomplete sentence, i.e. a fragment.
The phrase lacks a main verb.
So "The criminal that you let free because you thought you could arrest him/her whenever you wish" might be near.

日本の掲示板vip@2chから来ました。
これまでのサーガル著作権問題についての回
まず、誤解があるようなので、恐縮ながらこれまでの経緯をここに書きます。
私はほぼ全てのダイレクトメールに返事を書いています。
（シャウトボックスやジャーナルはとても一人で返信しきれなかったけれど）
なぜなら私の絵を好んでくれることが嬉しいし、最低限の礼儀として。
時間はかかったけれど全て返信していました。
（後から友人に、普通は全部に返信しないと聞いて驚いた。）
しばらくして、「あなたのサーガル を加工して自分のキャラとして発表している人がいますよ。なんとかしないんですか？」というメールがきた。私は問題を解決するために、きっちりと著作権を表記したつもりでいました。
またそれから、「○○さんがあなたのサーガルを使って勝手に商売をしていますよ。なんとかしないんですか？」という メールがたくさん来ました。
私は問題を解決するために、きっちりとルールを敷こうと考え、マージンを得ることにしました。
メールのほとんどは「サーガルを私のfursonaにしてもいいですか？」。
同じ内容のメールが山ほどくるので、ファンが私からの許可を長い間待たなくていいように、
私はプロフィールに「個人的に使うのに許可を求めなくてもいいですよ」と書きました。
たくさんのメールもコメントも、一人で相手ができる数を超え てきたので、
私はせめて礼儀としてガイドラインを設けました。
一人で対応できないなら、プロフィールを見るだけでルールがわかるよう明記するべきだと思ったのです。
なぜ私がここまで事務的に問題を解決しようと思ったのかというと、
たくさんのメールに返信する手間を省いて、
本来私がやりたいこと（私が納得のいく絵をじっくりと描くこと）を再び可能にするため。
皆さんが見たいのは、私が自分で自信を持って発表できる絵ではないですか？
残念ながら、私に皆さんと潤滑なコミュニケーションをとる能力はありません。
ストレスが大きすぎて悪い影響が目立つのなら、私は無理をして英語の長文を書くのを止め、
堅実に好きな絵を描く方が性にあっていると考えました。
サーガルの著作権については、近々、有料規定を外す予定です。
今まで律儀に著作権料を支払ってくれた方々にただ感謝をしたい。

Regarding the instances of Saghal copyright problems until this point:
First of all, because it looks like there's some misunderstanding, I'm writing the exact details of how things got started with some reservation.
I'm responding to almost every direct mail that I receive (though it was impossible to respond to every message that came through things like my shoutbox and journal). The reason why is largely because I enjoy my art being liked and think it the least I can do by way of gratitude. It takes time but I was replying to every message (Subsequently, to my friends, if I didn't respond to everyone, they were surprised to hear).
Some time passed, and a message arrived that said "Your Saghal is being processed by someone and introduced as their own character. Aren't you going to do something?". In order to nip the problem in the bud, I quickly intended to address the copyright.
And then, again, I received a bunch of e-mails saying how "So-and-so is using your Sahgal and doing business as they please. Aren't you going to do something?". In order to nip the problem in the bud, I quickly thought to impose a set of rules and procure a margin.
Most of the e-mails were asking "Is it alright to use Saghal for my Fursona?". After getting a mountain of mails with the same content, and to make it so that fans wouldn't need to wait a long while for my permission, I wrote on my profile, "For personal usage, you don't need to ask for my permission".
Because there were so many comments and e-mails, surpassing a level which I could not address by myself, I thought it best to atleast establish a set of guidelines with etiquette in mind. I thought that if I couldn't deal with it by myself, I should be clear-cut so that if anyone were to only look at my profile they would be able to understand the rules.
If I were to think why I was going to this business-like extent to find some resolution, I just wanted to curtail the amount of time I spent responding to mail, and, primarily, I wanted to make it possible to resume spending my time as a wanted (that is, carefully illustrating the art that I consented).
What everyone wants to see is if I have enough self confidence to release the art able to be released. Regrettably, I don't have the ability to smoothly communicate with everyone. There was too much stress, a bad influence pervaded, I was forcing myself to keep up, I stopped writing long addresses in English, and I thought that steadily drawing the pictures I wanted was the most fitting to my nature.
Regarding the copyright of Saghal, I plan to remove fee regulations very soon. I merely want to thank the individuals who conscientiously payed the copyright fee up until this point. I will continue the production of the Free Tag.

What is the difference between AV and DVD in Japan?
「AV」と「DVD」はどう違いますか？
I was reading an ero manga where a film director shoots a porn scene with an idol, but then is later surprised to discover that the idol's contract was for a DVD, not an AV. I know AV is Adult Video, so does DVD imply an idol video that's not pornographic?
Can you translate this, please?
