Any question?
It's a collection of impressive phrases which influential or famous politicians have mentioned in the past.
Old soldiers never die. They only tade away.
Do you know who said this phrase?
>>301
It was General MacArthur, I think. I don't quite remember his name, but I remember that he took part in World War II Pacific Theater, and also in the Korean War, when he was fired by Truman for suggesting more aggressive actions against China.
Regardless, was this:
> It's a collection of impressive phrases which influential or famous politicians have mentioned in the past.
the answer to my question, or did you not answer my question yet? Because I would like to have my question answered, thank you.
Oh,sorry!
THe only thing I want you to understand is that I tried to do my best in order to explain the Japanese word 政治家語録 to you.
With my English ability, it was very hard to put the Japanese word 語録 into English.
When I looked up 語録in my Japanese-English dictionary, I found the English word "analects" for it.
But I didn't know whether it was right or not. So I chose easier word "collection" from my English vocabularies.
Anyway, literally, 政治家means politician, or statesman, and 語means words or phrases. 録 means record.
So please put together these words on your own and imagine the meaning of it.
If you are not satisfied with my answer, keep waiting for another person who is better at English than me to come. bye-bye.
I was asking this question because I came across this:
http://gimpo.2ch.net/manifesto/
And I didn't know what it was about.
does someone knows what "ノートゲーム" means? I know it's katakana, but I don't know what it is x_x
What is this?

Oh, I see.
You must have clicked the "書き込む”button.
You've finished writing something.
Please hold on a sec (wait a minute) until the screen changes.
I think, as a native speaker that the Japanese phrase is a bit strange.
May be, it is 画面が切り替わるまでしばらくお待ちください
Can anyone tell me the Japanese words for "being high", "being stoned" and "Marihuana/Weed/..."(大麻 or マリファナ?)
Thanks in advance
>>309
Hi! me again!
I think you can use the English word " high" as it is because some basic English words are used in Japanese language.
"High" is pronounced "hai"(ハイ) in Japanese.
For example, マリファナを吸ってハイ（な気分）になる。
When I looked up "stoned" in my English-Japanese dictionary, I found two Japanese adjective "酔った”（yotta),”うっとりした"（uttorisita) for it.
I don't know much about grammatical things, but "being high" is called gerund, isn't it?
So a noun "恍惚”(koukotsu),which is a bit difficult word, seems to be more suitable for your question.
Sorry for my poor English!
>>310
Those words are all colloquial. "High" and "stoned" means "affected by drugs."
I know one of them is ラリってる (to be stoned/on drugs).
sb correct me if I'm wrong
>>297
Usually, referring to oneself in the third person in English is seen as haughty (holier-than-thou person, or perhaps just plain arrogant), juvenile (4-year-old), or senile (Bob Dole) depending on who says it. You can read more at the Wikipedia article on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illeism
>>301
The phrase is attributed to Douglas MacArthur, but may be older than the man himself. He certainly made it famous by quoting it in his 1951 address: cf. http://www.bartleby.com/73/1727.html
>>300
>>302
政治家語録 would only go into English awkwardly if done literally. If we wanted to keep the pomp, we could say “Aphorisms of Statesmen” or something like that (which gets close to the original meaning), but it is probably better to just say “famous quotes” or something. Really depends on whether you want to know what it means, or whether you are translating it fo’ realz....
>>305
Literally “Note Game”. This is not a category of games as far as I can tell... well, notebook games do exist, of course, but Google only pops up with Death Note-related wares, so I’m think you may just be missing part of the phrase.
I noticed that there is もてたい男 here:

What does this もてたい男 mean?
Also, what does this mean? 負け組
What is this? 独身貴族
I can't figure out what this means:

Babelfish and dictionaries translate it as "apology" but that's really weird, because what is "apology news" anyways?

I guess it is "apology and infomation" or so on.
They talking about apology of various people.
Can anyone tell me what the "届かんとばかりに" means in "天に届かんとばかりに燃え盛る。" I know the meaning of "届く" and "ばかりに" but I've never seen them together in that fashion, and I'm not sure if "届く" is negative or positive in this sentence.
>>323
You usually see this without the と in there, just [verb]んばかりに, and it means something is at the point where it's very nearly doing [verb]. So here it's something like "blazing up almost to the heavens". (Yeah I suck at translating)
I've seen this used most often as "と言わんばかり" - "as if to say".
The 届く is in the negative form but I guess really works like it's postive. The way this construction works makes perfect sense in my head but not in a way I can explain. I think maybe it's more because I've grown used to it than because I've actually understood or figured out any reason why it should be like this.
>>325
I was going to make some sarcastic comment about how JDIC is surely the most definitive Japanese dictionary out there, but then I actually tried what you suggested, and lo and behold:

So... yeah.
No...yeah

Try Goo, then.

They are not the same.>>318
The fact is that it's a grey area and besides one could really it's neither, since people use it more as a set expression.
I feel I want to go over this thoroughly, but I don't want to take the time only to be smugly told to learn how to use a dictionary, so I'll leave it.
Er, just my two cents:
届かん = 届かない
言わん = 言わない
分からん = 分からない
etc, etc.
It's the negative (though this form of the negative is also used in Kansaiben etc - other than the 〜へん negative form).
Anyway, the grammar structure is '〜とばかりに' （いかにも〜という様子）which can connect to the negative form of the verb. So in the case of 届く, it can be 届かんとばかりに。(It has the same meaning as 〜んばかりに, which connects to this particular negative form of the verb)
So IMO, 『天に届かんとばかりに燃え盛る』would mean something along the lines of "burning brightly/blazing as (if) to reach the heavens"
Hope this helps!
ウチはネイティブじゃないから間違ってたらすんません。どうぞ直して下さい。
Why don't you rea the Goo dictionary thoroughly? It shows the historical development of the partcile.
(5)（連体形を用いて）実現が可能だったり予想されたりするとき、推量する形で婉曲に述べるのに用いる。
「恋しから〈む〉をりをり、取りいでて見給へ/竹取」「これが花の咲か〈む〉折は来むよ/更級」

There is no grey area.>>328 There is no Kansaiben.>>329 It's no shame that you admit that you've never studied Old Japanese.
There is a grey area in the sense that, as I said, one could say it no longer really means either, as both are possible (e.g. the comparatively common 言わんばかり comes from 言わぬばかり) and people started mixing them, and now んばかり means little more than the fixed expression んばかり, あらん限り means little more than the expression あらん限り, etc. Most people don't give a damn, they just see the expression as a unit - although I should point out that correct or not most seem to think it comes from ぬ.
Trying to deny that ぬ is involved in it in any way is as ignorant as you're claiming everybody else is. This is even listed in the dictionary you so love to quote from:
>〔打ち消しの助動詞「ぬ」の撥音便「ん」に副助詞「ばかり」の付いたもの〕かろうじてそうなっていないさまを表す。
Just because the と is there doesn't necessarily mean that it comes from むと, as と is perfectly acceptable as an intensifier before ばかり. I don't want to make an absolute statement on the particular example that started this as I don't think I'm familiar enough with the nuances that may differentiate the two, but I will say it feels more like ぬ to me.
>Trying to deny that ぬ is involved in it in any way is as ignorant as you're claiming everybody else is.
黙れよ、バカ外人。「ぬ」が打ち消しの意味で使われる場合は、「ず」が連体形の
活用してるときだけなんだよ。だが、「と」が続いてるから連体形にはなりえないんだよ。
It can't be ぬ grammatically. You are the ignorant here.
>but I will say it feels more like ぬ to me.
Don't feel it. Just study Old Japanese.
>>330
Just to clear any confusion or w/e, I'm not the poster you were debating with before, I just saw and answered 323's question. 323 wasn't asking about the historical development of anything, but only for the meaning of the sentence/grammar structure - which both 324 and myself had explained and answered. The form of the verb used in that sentence is, again as both 324 and myself had stated, the negative form.
説明：
「〜んばかりだ」
意味：今にも〜しそう・まるで〜しそうな様子
接続：[動 - ない形 - 〜んばかりだ、んばかりに + [動・形・副]、んばかりの + [名]
類語：〜とばかりに
「〜とばかりに」
意味：いかにも〜という様子で
接続：[動 - 普通形/命令形] + とばかりに
[い形・な形・名] の普通形 + とばかりに
類語：「〜と言わんばかりに」, 〜んばかりに。
Now, my two cents concerning the particles mentioned related to 古文 - I'm not saying either of you are wrong or whatever, but hopefully this helps in some way:
「ず」：
打ち消し、and is attached to the 未然形 of inflective words. It can be translated into modern Japanese as 〜ない。ず has original forms that were derived from ず＋あり。The modern Japanese ません originally came from the 連体形 from ぬ。
「む」：
Inflecting suffix む has several meanings, but it is most commonly used to show 意志 or 推量. む is usually pronounced ん and attaches to the 未然形。
最後に：
「ぬ」の識別：
A） 未然形＋「ぬ」 → 〜ない （打ち消しの助動詞「ず」）
B) 連用形 ＋ 「ぬ」→〜た （完了）
When used in the 打ち消し sense, 「ぬ」is the 連体形 of 打ち消し 「ず」（「ざる」 is as well)
If any more information or w/e is needed, I'll gladly find and type out all my notes concerning this.
Back to >>330:
There is no kansaiben = Yes, I know that. I was merely mentioning that it is also used in that dialect. My main point was that 届かん is the negative of the verb, regardless.
Who admitted they've never studied classical Japanese? If you're referring to me, I don't know how you got that idea since I never even mentioned such a thing. For your information, I actually studied some 古文 at university. That aside, this has nothing to do with 古文、and from what I've seen you brought about this whole argument between you and 324, even though your comments have nothing to do with answering 323's question.
>>332
「黙れよ、バカ外人。」Oh, how very mature. Even though your comment wasn't directed at me, resorting to such insults is a really good way to strengthen your argument. Pfft.
How dare you insult those who have actually studied hard to become so proficient in a language (Japanese). You have some nerve to tell someone (324) to look up a dictionary when they clearly understand the meaning of what was being asked.
Get off your egotistical high-horse. While 328 (whom I assume is also 326 & 324) and myself have actually answered the OP's question and are trying to help out, all you've managed to do is show everyone what an arrogant person you are, who likes to insult others who're doing their best to help.
>>331
Apologies if I've interrupted things here. I've said all I want to say regarding this anyway, pretty much.
>My main point was that 届かん is the negative of the verb, regardless.
Stop using the English explanation words that your professor spoon-feed you. Don't get stuck on the word "negative". Use 未然形 consistently or come up with some "meaning-nuetral" English words like "dative" as they do in German or Russian.
>even though your comments have nothing to do with answering 323's question.
>>324 had disinfo. I was poitning that out. It was nothing more or less than that at that point.
>How dare you insult those who have actually studied hard to become so proficient in a language (Japanese).
What is wrong is wrong no matter what. >>331 was adamant that s/he is not. Look at >>326
>I was going to make some sarcastic comment
>So... yeah.
Now, this kind of comment begs some learning to do about being humble.
323 here. Thanks to those who helped me figure this one out.

What does いっちょもんだろ mean?
Perhaps a little more importantly, anyone got tips for learning and/or looking up dialectal stuff like this? I have a lot of trouble with it, but I run into it all the time...
orz
いっちょもん？ ive never seen before this japanese.
maybe いちゃもん = criticizes?
More precisely, it's いっちょうもんでやろう.
いっちょう＝ 「一丁」 ＝ "(doing) some work" or "Now, ..."
もむ ＝ massaging. A slang for "let someone experience hardship" or "beat up".
〜やろう ＝ "Let's" or "I'll"
My translation should be,
Alright, let's teach him his place.
Now, you'll know the world where might rules.
OK, I will give you a special lesson.
etc.

>>340
Ah. I figured out the 一丁 part, but the もむ part eluded me completely (and Progressive Waei had it under the latter... just to confuse me, I’m sure).
Thank you very much!
when it is isolated, "もむ".
when it include words, "もん〜".
because pronunciation of it to be difficult.
Em, just my two cents, but 〜やろう is attached to the te form of the verb... so if the verb is もむ (to rub/massage/to train/to coach)、もんで is the te form...(then yarou is attached).
一丁揉んでやろう。（I'll give you the chance to practice on me). According to the dictionary the meaning of もむ used like this is 「相手になって教えてやる。」
Hope that helps~
Can anyone tell me what "結構いる" means?
Barring context, it probably means “a lot”, or “quite a few”, or “plenty”. For example, "そんな人が結構いるんだ": “There are plenty of people like that.”

What does "重々承知しております" means? From the circumstances, I sum it up as to mean "perfectly aware of" or something along the line..
Also this "ぶち込んで" have been bugging me because I've googled the meaning high and low but my search is in vain. Is it like a gitai-go and I just assume it means like "straight forward/directly"...
西本さんが待機してっから調書と
I am confused with the structure of the above sentence. Could it possibly means "Wait for Nishimoto-san (to come) with the report"
Does this 熱を持ち出す means "to reduce the fever"?
And "暑っ苦しい" = sweltering hot? painfully hot?
Cheers.
重々承知しております＝I'm well aware of it.
The simple expression of this is "よくわかっています"
ぶち込んで(ぶち込む)＝throw〈a thing〉into
When someone is Imprisoned, I use it well.
"犯人を牢屋(ろうや)にぶち込む"
西本さんが待機してっから調書と
↓ write it definitely
西本さんが調書を持って待機しているから
してっから＝しているから
"熱を持ち出す" is complicated expression...
熱を持つ＝熱くなる
Ex. 体が熱を持つ＝体が熱くなる(a body becomes hot)
○○し出す＝○○しはじめる
Ex. 話し出す＝話しはじめる(begin to talk)
熱を持つ＋し出す ＝ 熱を持ち出す
暑っ苦しい＝sweltering hot or painfully hot
Both are correct answers.
what does this means?
'けっしてポップになりきることはなく'
>>370 Thanks! So I reckon 熱を持ち出す would probably means something like "it begins to become feverish/hot"?
I have some other questions. Hope someone can help..

For a Japanese self-studying English, you're really good! I self-study Japanese but I find it hard if I only rely on textbooks. Besides the language used in manga are mostly colloquial/spoken, which I rarely find in textbooks. Oh yes I study Japanese for the purpose of reading manga ;)
If you have an English blog, I'd love to see it. May be we could have some sort of language exchange or something.
Cheers.
「普通に」here is a slang word which is hard to explain. It is said that 40s or more can't understand the word, like "moe".
Basically, it means nothing. Nothing wrong if you ignore it. 普通にウメュー！ > He is good!
Though the definition may differ from person to person, IMO the nuance of this 普通 is the opposite of "on condition".
If the dancer looks young, you may feel "He is good despite (on condition of) his age".
But if the dancer is so good that you feel mentioning his age is tasteless, you may say "Easily, he is good."
This "Easily" is something like 「普通に」.
"Without doubt" shares similar concept, but 普通に is not so strong word. "Naturally" or something like that.
http://indexoffiles.com
Very useful files search engine. http://Indexoffiles.com is a search engine designed to search files in various file sharing and uploading sites.
Let me mention a little in regard to the "普通に".I can interpret a word like this when I use it. well... 普通にうまい...
If, When I went to Snowboarding with a new friend. and I really not sure he/she's a level. When I asked that a friend to snowboarding, he/she says "I'm still not better snowboarder.". so I imaged that he/she is still like a beginner snowborder. but To tell the truth, he/she was a middle-level snowboarder when I looked in the eyes. and He/She was ok. Then I'll say it. "He/she is 普通にうまい".
What do you think?
Sorry I have not just a blog. but I have my own site. Heres the link. http://timechanber.web.fc2.com/
>>378
>>382
Interesting explanations, I had no idea it was slang. 普通に appears similar to one of the uses of "actually", as in "contrary to expectation or first impression", but without the superior attitude "actually" can sometimes convey. Something like "Hey, he's good!" or "That coot kicks ass!"... Thanks!
You're welcome. and Thanks for the new illustrative sentence "That coot kicks ass!". It's also interesting for me. so anyway, It seems to me that is like an ironical expression.
>>382 So it's like "He's surprisingly better than I imagined/expected!".
I like your explanation. I think I get the hang of it.
That aside, what does 「お調子もん」 means?
>>385
「お調子もん」(otyousi mon) means "flip", or "luck-pusher".
It refers to someone who are easily puffed up with pride, or carried away.
The meaning is rather negative and rude. It also suggests luck of deliberation, for example:
「あいつはお調子もんだから、だまされやすい。」
He is easily taken in, because he tends to get carried away.
You should avoid using this phrase to someone if you don't get along with him/her.
The proper pronunciation is 「お調子者」(otyousi mono); the last 'o' is often omitted in casual conversation.
I hope this helps!
Impeccable. Possibly I may be お調子者.
Cheers guys! You guys are a star.
Anyone know this slang 「パープー」. Some Japanese slang website gave this meaning 「頭が壊れて赤ちゃんみたいになっちゃた子」 and from my understanding of that sentence it means "a child whose head is like her damaged mother".... and basically I just sum up the meaning to mean "retarded"...
"パープー" is a coinage made from "パー" + "プー".
"パー" means fool.
"プー" means unemployed.
"パープー" was made in old J-POP song "我らパープー仲間".
http://music.goo.ne.jp/lyric/LYRUTND38201/index.html
This song is a singing of their own past(before they become femous) and nostalgia.
Can anyone tell me what the "てつい" in this sentence means: "最近ものすごくお腹が減ってしまってついお菓子を食べたりしてしまいます"? From what I can tell, the sentence basically means "Lately, I've been really hungry, so I've been eating sweets."
The sentence exactly means "Lately, I've been really hungry, so I can't have helped but eat sweets."
If you insert slashes into the sentence,
you can do like this: "最近｜ものすごくお腹が減ってしまって｜
ついお菓子を食べたりしてしまいます。"
>>391
Ooh, thanks, I totally missed that.
Another one, if anyone is able. I saw this on a commercial for a show; I get the jist(or perhaps I don't) of it, but I don't understand why it's phrased this way. Anyhoo, it's "見たかったら見れば。"; I'm assuming it's basically "Watch if you're able." or something along those lines, but again, I don't get why it's phrased the way it is.
>>392
"Watch it if you want to".
>>393
Thanks; giving that a second look, I'm not sure how I got so confused.
"見たかったら見れば。"
I guess it's kind of optional.
like...It's up to you whether you eat now or not.
What do you thinnk?
Oops. had misinterpret a bit. correct a mistake.
It's up to you whether you watch it or not.
What do you think* ?
>>396
あってますよ
Your interpretation is quite correct.
Here's a line from Nakajima Miyuki's song "MEGAMI":
夢かと紛う 夢をみようよ
Then, this guy here (http://www.geocities.com/gregsharp.geo/Gubbai_gaaru.html) translates it to "You think it’s a dream, so let’s show you a dream".
But I somehow get the feeling that it is a single sentence, with a meaning along the lines of "let's see a dream that you will wonder about if it's a dream at all".
どっちの方が正しいのですか？それとも若しかしてどっちも間違ってますか？
Also I'd like to know what 夢とも知らぬ means (same song, second stanza).
Thank you. ^__^
