Hey!!! you NEETs, nerds, YouＴube-link spammers, pedophiles, neo-Nazis,
Yukorin enthusiasts, Nanako SOS admirers, Part-Time-Preachers,
Diplomats' spoiled sons, losers who can't remember Kanji characters,
Big-boobs fans, Weeaboos from all around the world, learners of Japanese
who are too lazy to update their Japanese blogs very often, and cunning
linguists. And let's celebrate the comeback of the Internet-addicted
housewife!

Here is the place to have a blast!!!!!

>>1
Thanks. Good Job!

****** Quick guide to Americans here *******

* keira=robotintokyo (California)
A woman who once announced that she'd start vlogging. She went to buy a webcam but the
nearest shop is on the north pole, and she hasn't come back yet. Maybe attacked by
a porlar bear or now ended up living in Greenland. She might be robotingreenland now.
"robotintokyo" is a part of her blog's URL.

* ベイエリア人 (California)
A man who claims he leads a reclusive lifestyle. Nice man who answeres
to our questions in another thread. His dream is to bungee jump from the
Golden Gate bridge.

in his university. The winner of the 28th Elvis impersonator contest.

It's said that lots of bras and panties were gone when he left his host
family's house. He knows how to choose the best and ideal host family to stay with.
His advice to students who wants to homestay in Japan is that the first thing they have
to do on arriving host family's home is to make sure where the washing machine is.
Cheerful and outgoing.

* crystal (California)
ESL teacher wannabe. Kind enough to answer our English questions. Loves
Japanese pop culture. A tad more serious than アメリカ人　but not so serious
about studying Japanese. She loves Japan and things Japanese but draws a fine line
between weeaboos and herself. Thinks it's a good idea to live in Japan but not
longer than one year. She believes that being away from her boyfriend for such a
long time deteriorates their relationship. Loves to play catch with her mom.
She loves spicy hot Orochon ramen noodles. She likes it in spicy level 7.

Bean sprouts are his favorite ramen topping and he even grows them in his room.

*【火花(4 ^ヮ^)】ミ田 (Louisiana)
A boy also known as Sparky who lives only in cyber space. Sometimes you have a feel

but he insists he's gifted in science and math. Administrator of deserted image boards.
It's said that his Windows Me PC calculates 4 times faster than IBM's Deep Blue.

* 米人（Boston)
Red Sox fan. Lived for a year in a rehabilitation facility to cure her
Internet addiction. Now she has developed game addiction and every time
she spots her kids playing Guirtar Hero, she snatches the console from them
and plays it on her own. Actually, she ties them up with ropes and kicks them away into
the closet until she finishes playing the game. She loves chatting here more than
taking care of her family. She's nice enough to give some good advice to learners of
Japanese. Besides, she is greatly admired as virtual mom by posters here.
Her quality time is when she reads Boston Globe over coffee on a beautiful Sunday morning,
with her husband and kids locked in the closet.

* Ether (Florida)
Has travelled to Japan. Taller than 6 feet and blond. Drives a jaloppy.
There's a framed photo of two sumo wrestlers he saw during his vist to Japan on the wall
of his room. His penis was bitten off by a gigantic aligator while he was taking a nap
naked in the backyard. His mom is on the FBI's missing people's list.
On the day he saw her last, he saw a huge alligator with its stomach
swollen disappearing into a swamp.

Loves netsurfing with a subway sandwitch in his mouth.

<Other nationalities>

* イギリス人(UK)
Foreigners come and go but he is the longest term resident here.
Diplomat's spoiled sun. He has lived in several countries as a child and now he has no clues
where he's from. He's nice and sincere enough to answer even stupid English questions.
He's been lurking since he got a job in web design. (He's busy.) He was working on making
a new breed of PC virus to spread around the world on on Christmas but he ended up getting
infected with flu virus. He knows quite a lot about Japanese TV shows and movies.
He is a great cook. He loves to bake a chocolate cake.
Every wall in his room is covered with posters of 広末涼子. (Ryoko Hirosue)

>>13
>but the negitive enviorment of the high school made me a suicidle psycho.

>>13
I can understand your astonishment, considering how
conservative people there are.

That's the reason why you thought it was an astronomical discovery, isn't it !?!?

mr sparky, is finding manga really so rare where you are?

Do you guys use Amazon when you buy something?

I was gonna say you could buy them online too, but actually going out shopping
is much healthier and normal unless you're too busy or lazy.
I should go shopping.

>>14
That 'd apply to all people who go through such an painful experience in teenagehood.
But it won't do you any good to complain about where you are in now.

>>22
i have never used amazon. yet anyhow. i don't spend much money. i dislike doing so.

it is strange because
the place were i found Yotsuba
Western films are right across the aisle.
and Hentai videos (2d and 3d) too..
............................................

and it comes with w

I have to apologize to Sparky for my having thought...

that your name was sparkly not sparky.
Why didn't you guy tell me that ?
I felt ashamed a lot...

>>27
thats ok ^^
me forgive

it is sparky4
as in the electrical spark
with a 4 at the end

Hi Sparky.
How's it going?

>>29
im actually happy now!
..................................................................................
it is laughter
the most powerful medicine

>>28
thanks ^^

See I'm not a troll!!!!

I was never one!

Hey sparky4.
It's written that you live in the cyber space.
That means you slipped out of the real world into the dark hole of the Internet, right?
I'm also the one. Seems we have a lot in common.

>>33
Internets, dark?
NOPE!
yes we do!

I have recognized that the meaning of troll is the 底辺 in Japanese.
How do you think about my interpretation ?

A troll is more like 荒らし in a forum on the internet I think.

>>32
sparky don't be trolling them now

>>35
is it accurate?

>>34
Do you spend most of your day sitting in front of the computer?
And are you planning on doing something today other than that?

>>35
"Troll" means "荒らし" or 釣り" in Japanese, meaning fooling around.

>>37
do not know how!
and i never ever tried to do it!

>>36
Humm, thanks for your interpretation.

>>39
>Do you spend most of your day sitting in front of the computer?
yes
infact
i spend all day doing that
>And are you planning on doing something today other than that?
nothing to do in North Louisiana

I didn't know you live in North Louisiana.
Sounds like typical countryside in the U.S.
I heard that in the countryside, people's only hobbies are sex and/or internet.

i bought a poster
http://4chan.b33r.net/my%20pictures/!jpg/300.jpg
it is funny

>>44
Dine in hell? What does that imply?

>>39
Thanks.
Please let me say why I think the meaning of troll is 底辺 in Japanese.
There is a reason.
When I browsed a video on youtube, where I found a lot of comments to the owner.
They say `she is a troll` , `successfull troll is successfull` and somethng like that.
So, I thought troll means a person who has low intelligence and is low social position.

>>45
dine in hell means to have dinner in hell
dine= to have dinner/to eat dinner

>>45
It's from this movie: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wDiUG52ZyHQ
Wow, there have been a lot of new posts. Well, guess I missed out on today's fun and
now I have to go to bed early for a college interview tomorrow. Later y'all.

>>44
Probably that's means that we will give you pleasure things you don't expect in a hell, or something like that.

>>48
...I got up just now
and ta-ta for now

>>48
Take care.

>>49
he is implying to his troops that they will die in the fight and go to hell that night

>>47
>>48
Thanks.
So it's like saying see you all in hell?

>>45
After the first official trailer of 300 was released, it immediately caught the attention of fagland. The two memes that spawned from this are TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL, and THIS. IS. SPARTA!!!

The original execution of the meme featured the movie's star either exclaiming "TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL" [1] or "GUYS, I FORGOT WHERE WE ARE DINING TONIGHT". Contrary to popular belief, the proper response is not 'Applebees' or 'Olive Garden'.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu1KQtb6xuc

>>53
pretty much yes.

>>54
OMG, you can write superb sentences.
I guess 'Applebees' or 'Olive Garden' is also part of the memes, right?

>>56
Copypasta

>>56
what sparky is trying to say is that the lines in this trailer became an instant internet meme. there are many comical puns associated with the lines.

I have trouble staying at home all day.
In fact, being cooped up in my cramped little room drives me insane.
But I have nothing to do outside.

Messenger: This is blasphemy! This is madness!
King Leonidas: Madness...?
[shouting]
King Leonidas: THIS. IS. SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
[Kicks the messenger down the well]
wwwwwwwwwww funny

>>58
yes ezactly

>>57 lol
>>58
Thanks, those responses are pretty funny considering how serious the lines sounds.

>>62
WHY so serious?

>>63
this line is also a meme but it is from batman

sparky please don't be confusing them with strange 4chan slang that most people over here don't even get

>>63
They're all about to go onto the battlefield and likely to die there, right?
I assume that's not really a casual thing and therefore that line.

>>64
it is good to teach our international friends our culture

>>64
Sparky trolled me!!!

>>67
????
Thats Trolling?????????

....

>>65
he is trying to rally his troops by implying that they will fight well and with out mercy until they die themselves; and that their battle will be so horrific that they will go to hell.
this is how well they will fight. so well that they will die and go to hell as punishment for being so brutal.

>>62 ：名無しさん＠英語勉強中：2008/12/13(土) 15:05:36
>>57 lol
>>58
Thanks, those responses are pretty funny considering how serious the lines sounds.
>Thanks, those responses are pretty funny considering how serious the lines sounds.
>considering how serious the lines sounds.
>considering how serious
>serious
This is why I said, "WHY so serious?".

>>68
yes

>>71
....
i never knew
that

please let me know when i troll because
im not doing it on purpous

also

you were sopposed to laugh at
"WHY so serious? "
it was not a serious post

>>69
Thanks, I think I understand it's a morale booster that way.
>>72
I am furious now.

>>73
But i was not trying to make you mad
I was trying to make you laugh!

Do you think they sell Zanpakutou?

new topic
about my number
4 (four) is a number, numeral, and glyph. It is the natural number following 3 and preceding 5. Four is the only number in the English language for which the number of letters in its name is equal to the number itself

The Chinese, the Korean and the Japanese are superstitious about the number four because it is a homonym for "Death" in their languages.
you mean: 四?
what about 13?

In cities where East Asian and Western cultures blend, such as in Hong Kong and Singapore, it is possible in some buildings that both 13 and 14 are skipped as floor numbers along with all the other 4's.
http://4chan.b33r.net/My%20Pictures/!JPG/facestairs.jpg

>>84
Speaking of 4, what do you think about Unohana? She's the Captain of the 4th squad, healers!!!
She is calm even when faced with a bunch of Arrancars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>84
>It is the natural number following 3 and preceding 5. Four is the only number
in the English language for which the number of letters in its name is equal to the number itself

That's right. You have affection to math ?

>>85
An elevator in a residential apartment building in Shanghai - floor numbers 4, 13 and 14 are missing.

I like the song, too.
Aqua Times is actually a good and nice band. I sometimes see them perform on TV.

Are these sentenses gramatically correct ?

�@Small bears are easier to keep in your house than big sneaks are.

�AMobile phones are easier to carry with than PCs are.

The point of my question is below.
Should I 'Small bears are easier to be kept in your house than big sneaks are.'
instead of above one ?
Thank you for your help.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

�@Small bears are easier to keep in your house than big sneaks are.

�AMobile phones are easier to carry with than PCs are.

http://4chan.b33r.net/My%20Pictures/!JPG/y!!!!NO.JPG

The small bears are easier to keep in your house than big (sneaks).WHAT IS THIS?

Mobile phones are easier to carry than PCs.
Fix'd

Oops, `should I write Small bears ...` is what I want to say.
Sorry!

Bleach is a rather bizarre name, isn't it?

MORE THAN 330 EPIS RELEASED ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU SHOULD START READING BLEACH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Should I write Small bears are easier to keep in your house than big (sneaks).WHAT IS THIS?

this sentence make no scene wwwwwwwwww

>122
Do you mean "snake?" The long reptile?

>>124
lol. Thanks!
Imagine a sneak which is not only poisonous but also BIG, like Eunectes(アナコンダ).

>>126
http://www.keenzo.com/pimg/image/Products/500/kzimg1060903_1_4122.jpg
yes it is

>>81
Is Thousand not working properly? It's working perfect on my macbook.
It may be helpful to the developer if you could give me more details.
I'll shoot a bag report on the developer's thread.
If "crap on me" means something like "not my kind," tell me so.
I'm always looking for a new English phrase.

Anyway, in case you are back to the browser, a poster on the thread found a makeshift way for the Search Web.
You can do it by highlighting a term and Command + Shift + L.

Oh, what's a shame!!
Snake, not sneak
I may have to kill myself!

Small bears are easier to keep in your house than big snakes.
this is better ^^

>>135
thanks^^

>>126
NOPE!!!

I HEARD TAITO KUBO IS A BIG FAN OF NIRVANA AND HE USED BLEACH TO PAY RESPECT FOR THE BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>136
you can say
有り難う 【ありがとう】
^^

>>132
thousand is working fine now, thank you for your concern. it is now running fine.

i am sorry i was not paying attention to my english, "thousand crapped out on me" is slang for "thousand has given up on me" or "thousand has stopped working"
it is best not to use this style of speech.

02:13:44
it is late
NIGHT^^
(4 ^ヮ^)ﾉｼ

DO YOU THINK SMALL TITS ARE BETTER THAN NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????
INOUE HAS SUPER-SIZED TITS!!!!!!!!!
KON MENTIONED THEY ARE THE VALLEY OF THE GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUNNY, ISN'T IT!!?????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

>>141
Some might say they prefer small tits, while others say big ones are the best.
And I'm easily facinated with big boobs. lol
I don't know, but I can't help it.

Come to think of it, I don't know why I think this way, but to me
tits sound like they are small and boobs sound like they are huge.
Why?

02:13:44
it is late

Thanks. Happy to know it's running fine.

As for English, I want you to speak as you always do rather than make you baby-talk to us.
Learners, at least I, want to listen to "real" English, not dumbed down language.

I was able to learn a new phrase "crap out on" from your post, and I was able to learn many things dictionaries don't tell me.
You said it in a real conversation so I know the context and stuff.

Real usage of language can only be learned through real conversations.
If you talk in a simplified, artificial way, I'll learn dumbed down English.
I don't want to speak like a dumb or learn artificial language.

Of course, I'd like you to have fun in this thread, so it's all right not to use slang or difficult words if you don't want to.
But if you're doing so because you think it's good for learners, I'm glad if you talk as you always do.

>>146
ok i shall chat with less baby-talk english as you called it

in my area we speak with some pretty odd slang at times i don't plan on using any unless i forget.

>>147
Thank you! Let us know if you think we're asking too many questions.
After all, I want you to enjoy this thread.

>>148
ask away, i find it rather interesting.
just make note that i don't have any training as an english teacher, i am but a 4channer
who came here only several days ago

That's perfectly ok, you don't have to be very precise about English.
Because I look up in a dictionary whenever I learn something new.

>>150
well if i use my every day slang then you wont find that in any dictionary that you know about anyhow

>>149
Thanks. If I don't get the sense of an obscure word from your explanation, I know what google is for.
If I want to know difficult grammar, I can ask Crystal. She's majoring in linguistics and planning on going to grad school to be an ESL teacher.

I'm posting on 4chan like everyday, though I'm more careful about my English when I post on English forums and image boards.

BTW, if you came from /g/, I made the Sparky thread the other day.

>>151
"i'm gonna go redd up my room"

Redd off Clear off. Redd off the table
Redd up To tidy up.

do not ever use this on any english test. you will be failed.
:)

>>152
ya i spend most my time on /g/ and /a/
i do not use a handle

>>151
That's nice. That means we can learn words that our dictionaries don't know.
But I think I can find many slang words in Urban Dictionary. Even some 4chan memes are explained.
Besides, we can google anything.

I've plugged into my SRS very odd slangy phrases like Shit was so cash.
We can learn "proper" English at school anyway.
It's not like I want to learn formal language and say "I would be most delighted if you could let us listen to proper English."
I'm sick of those how-learners-should-speak English.

>>154
I'm posting on /a/ everyday. I'm not a tripfag (read tripfriend, if you're Cirno) either.

>>152
>I made the Sparky thread the other day.

Do you mind me asking you a simple question on this one? What did you make that thread for the other day?
I remember someone saying he made it for the lulz. Is this correct?

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=h_1GT3PZ38M

>>155
well welcome to 4chan! prepare too see much strange english
most native english speakers don't even understand 4chan.
it has got a slang of its own. pretty much one has to be in the geek subculture to understand that place. when i talk with other 4channers at my school the non-4chan people around us cant understand our convos at all.

"for the lulz" is a VERY hard to explain phrase.
epic lulz are like mass trolling events.
i will try to find a page on this, 4chan used to have this great wiki that offered translations but sadly i think thats gone now

>>161
ok wikichan has been down for like a year, but this site is close enough http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Lulz

>>158
Been there for more than 2 years. Used to lurk /b/ and /a/, and then started posting on /a/ and /lang/. So I saw the /a/ split when moot made /jp/.

My command of 4chan slang is much better than your average newfag, I think.
I never ever mention 4chan in real life.

>>156
Forgot what I said, but maybe something like "I did it for the sheer lulz."
I can't explain what it means or translate it into Japanese.
It's already "obsolete," if you ask me.

>>162 Thanks.
>>163
No, that's fine. You don't have to explain it to me, I just wanted to make sure where you were coming from.

"For the lulz" is definitely difficult to explain.
"Lulz" itself comes from "lols", which is a pluralized form of "lol".
"Lol" means "laughing out loud". However, usually, people who use "lol" are thought to be immature or unintelligent (unlike "w"?)...
But, that's not important to this discussion.

I found this in an article online:
[The phrase "I did it for the lulz"] usually refers to deliberate
trolling behavior intended to harass Internet users for the
amusement of others.

Maybe that's true, and maybe that's a little inaccurate.

Have you heard of someone doing something "for the hell of it"? I think that's a little similar.

>>164
Anyway, steer clear of /b/ if you browse 4chan. Lurk /b/ only when you want to know what "cesspool" and "idiot" mean.
You'll thank me later.

>>165
"for the hell of it" means 冗談半分で or 魔がさして.

Please remember k-tan, swedish girl.
K-tanのことも思い出してやってください。
Oh, there was ロシア人 who bombarded this thread and disappeared
quickly.

There was スコットランド人 and he was one of the
most noticeable foreigner during a certain short period.
There were only a couple of frequent foreign posters before.
I liked to hear rivalry between English and Scotland.
He was anglophobe and socialist and secessionist.
It's good to be able to feel real foreign atmosphere
directly from the internet.
If I could see south vs north, republican vs democrat, neo-nazi vs anti-racist(commie)
and so forth in this thread.
Americans here are polarized into liberals and Weeboos. Fat chance.
There was once a white nationalist who was a supporter of
Jared Taylor. He was interested in Japanese culture as well.

ノルウェー人 existed.

And オーストラリア人 and カナダ人.

>>173
These above topics of discussions are quite boresome(especially neo-nazi vs anti-racist)
I like more practical topics, such as the usage of the certain words or pharases,
the difference between Americans and Japanese cultures, corrections of Japanese sentenses wriiten by foreigers
or something like these.

I'm not intrigued how the British feel against Scotish at all.
(I know how they hate each other because my cousins's father is Sctotish, though I'm pure Japanese.)

I felt very bored when people here disscussed about racial topics.
(Who can say sincerely that the race is superior but the other is inferior ? Illogical.)

ill explain about
"for the lulz"

ill be back in /g/ in the year 2011

>>177
Good morning.
I have a question, which I have been eager to ask you.
Why do you use 'were' instead of 'where'? Is it a trend amoung young Americans?

>>176
It's your taste.
neo-nazi vs anti-racist it's an exaggeration.
South vs North, republican vs democrat. christian right or
liberal are more typical.

>>176
The friction between England and Scotland dates back from around the 14th century,
when King Edward decided to invade and annex the northern lands (but not
without a struggle). There has been much conflict since, even once the Stuart
dynasty took over from the Tudors which united the countries under one monarch.

I'm not sure why there's still some conflict between the two countries, but it
does feel as though the Scots dislike us more (hence the SNP being elected and
a referendum for independence).

>>987 (last thread)
The meaning of 'until' is somewhat ambiguous. Some people claim it means 'up to
the time and including', and some 'up to the time but excluding'. There are
sometimes disagreements even in courtroom trials about this.

No, Sparky is just an idiot and doesn't speak English correctly.

>>195
Hello, Tennessean!
I'm glad you got your own trip code. Now no one can impersonate you anymore.
The dude who impersonated you often posts KKK stuff here. I just don't get what he's thinking.
You have a good day!

>>190
Ummm, thanks. I leanrned a lot.
Speaking of that Scotish father, when FIFA world cup was held at France in 1998(or at Japan＆Korea in 2002... I fougot),
he cheered up Sweeden, though England was also in France. (Scotland couldn't remain best 46 countries.)
I got to know how Scotich dislike England at that time..
(He lives in England now, though.)

>>195
His grammar isn't always correct, but he's not an idiot.
Sparky is trying to be loved, though it doesn't always work.
I don't want to call a person who tries to be nice an idiot.

>>195
... I think he isn't idiot, though he may have a slight memtal problem.
He has a good mind, I think.

BTW, pronunciation of `where` is similar to that of `were` ?

I'd be interested to know what Mr. Perfect's take on World Cup Japan/Korea is.

>>199
Sort of. "Where" doesn't have a hard "er" sound. It's more pronounced more like "air" so, "wh*air*".
Did that make sense?

Slight mental problem? He would be clear winner in Special Olympics
high energy sports.

Where and were have different pronunciations. He just can't spell or
use grammar or punctuation correctly. Hopefully he will learn from
other native speakers here.

>>201
Sure. Thanks.

>>200
?

>>173-175
>>7 is not me. It was posted 28 seconds after >>6 was posted.
More than 30 seconds has to pass to post another post.

Yeah, I remember K-tan (Swedish), ロシア人(Russian),スコットランド人(Scotish), ノルウェー人
(Norwegian), オーストラリア人(Australian) and カナダ人. (Canadian)
Everyone who remembers them can add their profiles.
I wrote >>3-6 for the fun of it and to practice writing English and anybody
can rewirte them.

Maybe 3-6 has to be more short and concise or true to facts, but as I
wrote them, I added jokes and tried to be humorous. Maybe I went a little
overboard.

>>190
I'm 987 of the previous thread. It sounds like the same as "more than"
and "less than." I heard for some, "more than 60 pounds" includes
60 pounds, and for others, it doesn't include 60 pounds, although,
when it's used in technical writing, it doesn't include 60.

>>201
How did your interview of university go?

>>201
Don't forget to put it in your pocket and sniff it when you gets nervous
before the interview.

What do they ask you in the interview. What process do you have to go through
to be admitted to the university?

Sparky has the intelligence to enter the college?

>>206
>>207
I have it later this afternoon, I just wanted to make sure I got enough sleep because usually I don't.
I don't want to be tired and botch things up now do I? I should probably leave the panties at home, I don't think the interviewer would appreciate
me inhaling them throughout the interview lol.

Luckily, I have a friend that interviewed with the same college a few weeks ago, so she gave me a good idea of what they'll ask.
It will most likely be about my hobbies (panty sniffing, obviously) and my academic interests. The interview is actually an optional part of the application process,
but it shows you are interested in the school. I already submitted my application online, so this is the last step.

イギリス人 is an enthusiastic Samantha Fox fan.

>>208
that is a very good question to ponder.

>>209
But if you are thinking of majoring scatology in the uni, I think letting them see you
sniffing them works in favor of you in one way. If you don't want them
to see you doing it, then you can go to the men's room and sniff it
until you get relaxed.

>It will most likely be about my hobbies (panty sniffing, obviously)
Haha!

Seriously though, good luck!

I wonder some of the applicants who didn't take the interview can enroll in
the univeristy.

The scatology thing is a joke, right? I didn't know any universities offered a major like that.
perhaps they would offer it as a specialization in med school...

My sister is an internal medicine doctor right now. She didn't have a life for decade that she
was in university, medical school, and residency... I think out of her original class of 100 people,
she was one of two to not drop out at some point and actually become a doctor. It is pretty hard.

Good luck to thee.

>>205
You did a great job writing those. I enjoy reading them.
It's also entertaining to see how they change a little bit with each thread.

There was also the korean girl who was here for a couple of days. I can't remember her name.
She seemed to be scared away by people being rude because they associated her with the korea spammer.

Looks like no one remembers S-chan anymore orz....
She was the pioneer.

>>216 I've only been here since... umm... 118?

Please tell me the differences between these expressions:
1) I don't want to miss this opportunity.
2) I don't want to miss out on this opportunity.

What does "out on" add to "miss"?

オーストラリア人（豪人？） and カナダ人 are not as frequent as
k-tan. YouＴube-link spammers is originally an reference to
k-tan.
a girl only in one thread does not deserve to be remembered, I guess.

>>218
To my mind, they have the same meaning.

>>218
"out on" makes it more emphatic.
As if everyone else is taking advantage of the opportunity, and you are the
only one to miss it.
Otherwise, they are equivalent phrases.

米人, are you obama freak?
You must have attended an obama rally.

>>218
we say " i don't want to miss the bus" we would never say "i don't want to miss out on the bus"
"miss out on" implies that one is being left out of something such as an activity or an opportunity.
"miss the bus" means the bus left with out someone.

so for your 1) and 2) they have the exact same meaning in this case because of it being an opportunity.
there is no difference between 1) and 2)

well thats my two cents, but i'm no english expert

>>220-221
Thank both of you. I see. So basically both of them mean the same thing.

How about "I'll miss you." and "I'll miss out on you"?
I've never heard of the latter one for some reason, though...

>>224 Nope. You wouldn't say "I'll miss out on you."
In this case, the meaning of "miss" is different.
If you say "I'll miss you," then that's a general feeling of longing and lonliness when they're gone.
It's not the same as missing the bus.

>>224
Oops, I posted >>224 before refreshing my browser..

My question seemed almost answered already!?
Native speakers wouldn't say "I'll miss out on you" because "you" is
obviously a person, not "an activity or an opportunity".
Am I correct?

>>225
Thanks.
I need to clear my head. I'm a little confused now.
Wait a sec...

>>227 To miss a person is not the same as to miss an event or opportunity.

>>222
Actually I supported Hillary Clinton in the primaries. But I switched my support to
Obama after he won the nomination. He didn't bother coming to Massachusetts once he was nominated;
we're the bluest of blue states.
I think he could be a great president. I'm very hopeful, even though our country is in tough straits
right now.

>>224
You wouldn't say "miss out on you" because that implies that more than one person
is taking advantage of that opportunity at the same time. Not a nice implication
when you're talking about a person.
"I'll miss you" is a slightly different meaning...it means you're sad not to see someone again
for a while. Not necessarily that you'll never see them again, unlike a missed
opportunity or bus or whatever.

>> 227
"miss the bus" = the bus left with out a person
"miss you" = feeling of longing for a person
"miss out on" = left out of an event or opportunity

Actually I supported Hillary Clinton in the primaries.
off the charts! I didn't know you are racially aware.

By the way, have you bought doraemon I recommended?

In japan we are taught that "can have + past participle" is
gramatically wrong and not used.
Do you agree or disagree? If used, is it formal or informal?

>>232 No, I wouldn't say "I can have eaten tacos" for example.
You would use the word "could" instead of "can"

Thank you guys! I think I'm clear now.

"Miss out on" is used specifically for an event or opportunity and interchangeable
for "miss" as an emphasis.
You can't use it for vehicles such as buses and trains.
And to miss someone is used to mean your emotions for him/her.

>>232
i think you would want to say, could have + past participle rather than can have + past participle
for example:
"i could have ate that" is correct and "i can have ate that" is wrong

You say never heard of "can have PP" used in real life?
http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/ask-teacher/30381-can-have-past-participle-please-help-help-help-guys.html
Some native speakers seem to admit "can have PP".

>>237 No worries

Hmm, to tell you the truth, I have another question.

1)I'll give you up.
2)I'll give up on you.

Do they sound almost the same to you?

>>240
"give you up" is to let the person go. Release them, almost.
"give up on you" means you'll stop caring about/helping them.

>>240
i'll give you up (to something/to someone)
vs "i'll give up on you" meaning what it means. a.k.a. not the above

I seem to have this (phrasal) verb + "on" problem..

The other day, I watched TV and ran into the scene -
someone said, "Don't die on me!!" when his father passed away in the hospital.
And his father lied on the bed, not on the guy himself. Why did he say "on me"?
On makes me confused.

>>213
Maybe joke, maybe not. But the winner of the Elvis impersonator contest thing isn't a joke. :p
Two out of 100? That sounds really tough to survive all the way through and become a doctor.
It must be really reassuring to have a doctor in your family.

>>214
Thank you. It wasn't easy to write them. As for bean sprouts thing,
I spotted a plant pot of them in the far corner of the photo you
uploaded.

>>216
This thread wasn't her main thread and she showed up much more often in J-->E translation thread
thread as far as I know. She didn't use handle name but somehow I could tell
which posts were hers.

>>219
k-tan is from Sweden so maybe her access to 2ch has been denied, too.

>>231
Racially aware???
No, I supported Hillary because I thought she had more experience.
But Obama seems to be a quick learner, so he'll probably be fine.

>>232
can+have+past participle is not used.

>>235
"I could have eaten that" sounds more natural to me.

http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/ask-teacher/30381-can-have-past-participle-please-help-help-help-guys.html
There seems to be an argument among native speakers.
But both admits that "can have PP" exists, being valid.
How do you think?

>>246
it is proper english to say "i could have + pp" rather than "can have + pp"

>>244
I'll have to take a look at that picture again to see what you're talking about.
There aren't any plants in my room.
I do like bean sprouts in my ramen though, as long as there aren't TOO many.

And the link.

I'm confused. Do you people understand why "can have past partciple"
is not allowed? If you can understand, could you explain to me?
You people just have not used it because it has not been
used?

Nope. I don't see it. Here's the picture again. http://i38.tinypic.com/2eckdo0.jpg
Maybe you can point out what you're talking about?

"don't die on me" means "don't die on my time here" or "don't die now" die later instead

Both sentences express the speaker's disbelief with reference to the action.
They have almost identical meanings. The only difference is where the speaker
places himself. The first sentence puts the speaker's disbelief in the prersent.
(Even now) I can't believe that.... The second sentence is just a
statement about the past, so it uses a past tense modal.
-------------
How do you think about explanation of a guy from New York?
Wait. He is refering to "can not have", not "can have".
"Can not have" and "could not have" simultaneously exists while "could have"
only exists. It's a mystery.

>>257 I didn't think of that. You're right, though.

>>231
I forgot to say I did buy the first volume of Doraemon, but I haven't read it
yet. Right now I am slowly working my way through an excellent Japanese grammar
dictionary. It has explanations of why you use words one way and not another
and shows examples of bad grammar and explains why it is bad. It's very helpful
for a non-native speaker. I try to read the example sentences in the original Japanese,
but I have to cheat and read the romaji when I don't recognize a kanji.

>>246
I've never heard "you can have +PP"
but I think it is sometimes used in the negative. "You can't have said that..."
as a way of emphasizing the impossibility of the situation, although
"couldn't have said" is probably better English.
All of the examples I saw in that thread were in the negative.

Some racially-aware, true (white) Americans ran to McCain after

>>260
Democracy isn't always pretty.

>>259
Interesting....
Then what's the difference between "You CAN'T say that..." and "you can't have said that..."?
I'm curious.
By the way, I've just come here.

Democratic Party was once a party of (white) working class.

>>245
Thanks. I didn't know "can't have PP" is almost informal.
Do you think
"may have been" is stronger than "might have been" in belief in
possibility? There is no significant difference in the meaning?

>>263
"You can't say that" means the person you're talking to isn't allowed to say it.
"You can't have said that" means you (the speaker) don't believe they said it.

bean sprout is もやしmoyashi in japanese and it can mean
skinny, frail, indoor person.
もやし alone is not usually used. もやしっ子 is the common word.

>>266
Thank you for your straightforward answer.
One is "not to allow to say it". The ohter is "do not believe ...". Following >>259, it could be more likely to be "impossible to believe"?

>>252
Thanks a million.
So on someone sometimes mean "on my time here" or " now", right?
Can I say, "don't play TV games on me"?

>>267 Ah, so then you were mocking me?
Okay then.

>>270
I'm not the one who mocked you. I just had a thought to explain.

>>271 Forgive me. It can be difficult talking to a lot of no-nameさん.

>>256
Yes, and she also wrote she loves extremely spicy hot ramen so she ordered
ramen in level 7. And Orochon is in Alaska and is open 24/7 365days a year.
They only serve Jooky for beverage and two days a week they serve sushi, too.

>>251
The bean sprouts plant pot is behind the white plastic bag on the ground
on the left.

>>261
Then my joke fell flat. Let me explain. You ate her bean sprouts at orochon.
--->You like to eat them. ---->you love them so much that you plant
them even in your own room for an occasion when you eat instant ramen at home.

Do you mind if I ask you guys to take care of the following exmaples?

1. won't have said that
2. may not have said that
3. shall not have said that

Do they all express strong disbelief like "can't have said" does?

>>270
I wasn't mocking you. >>273 is my post.

That's a joke, too. I don't see any bean sprouts pot in your room.

Some hash-head grow cannabis in their own room to inhale it without

You showed the photo again in >>251. Actually I don't spot any bean sprouts pot, which is of course.
but I pretend as if spotted it.

And NO, my sense of humor wasn't good enough. Plus explaing the joke
in English isn't easy.

Xbuying peddlers on the street
Obuying from peddlers on the street

>>283-284 Actually, I did think about the comparison to growing marijuana in the closet.
I don't think pot would be good for me though - I'm already way laid-back.
I have one particular high-strung friend that I genuinely think it would help though.

>>269
>Can I say, "don't play TV games on me"?
no, don't say that.

what i was trying to say before, was "don't die on me" mean, as i take it, "don't die on my watch" which means "don't die right now as i am here (die at some later date instead)"

just try not to use this form of english, it is almost special case.

The phrase "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU" is not common
in Japan.

How do you understand the description?
Did you use online translation software?

>>274
1. X won't have said that
O wouldn't have said that
"I wouldn't have said that if I'd known better."
2. may not have said that
expresses uncertainty or a mild disagreement about whether someone has
said something
"He may not have finished the report yet--I'll check."
"He may not have been the one who said/did that."
3. X shall not have
O should not have
I shouldn't have done/said/...
BTW, shall not isn't too commonly used I think.
Except in the Bible. "Thou shalt not [insert Ten Commandments here].

Can you expalin the difference between may have PP and
might have PP and the reason?

>>290 actually, the term "big brother" is more common than you might expect.
It's used to describe the government trying to take more control of peoples' lives, and to monitor everything people do.
Tactics like phone-tapping, scanning emails, etc. raise concerns over the right to personal privacy.
The government claims it has to do these things "to keep us safe" from "terrorists" and the like, but personally I think that's bull.
Particularly with the passage of the Patriot Act, the US government has been given more authority to spy on citizens.
Any time something comes up that would reduce peoples' privacy, or give the government control of our day-to-day lives, the term "big brother" is probably not far off.

>>297
Thanks. It seems neither an intelligent word nor a special term.

>>290, >>297
イギリス人 would probably have some good input on this topic too, depending on where he lives.
I know London has cameras all over the place.
I saw a statistic that on any given day, walking around London, you're likely to be photographed something like 6,000 times?
The police can see everything that happens there.
New York also apparently is implementing a similar system.

But it's not so widespread yet.

>>296
I see. How did you know the translation page?
From your posts so far, you don't seem to shy away from visiting websites
written in Japanese.

The following is my translation. I think it's better than that of translation
software.

# 『【火花(4 ^ヮ^)】 ミ田◆AZWpeumso.』is a resident of BAR Gikoppoi.
# It seems like he's a foreigner.
# He loves trance music and Hatsune Miku.
# His PC is Windows Me. He gets angry when Windows Me is insulted.
# Rumor has it that he's American and lives in Louisiana.

>>300
umm guys i forgot were we dine tonight!

anyway
that is a very good translation!!!!!!^^

>>300
I assumed that "Meをバカにすると怒り出す" means he gets angry when his Windows ME misbehaves, but your translation makes more sense, I think.

I wonder what you guys will think of this...


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.


"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

(cont)

>>300
also
my friend schnee from Japan told me about it

>>303
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.



Don't work too hard and hurt your brain.

" When some one mock at windows ME sparky might be steam up"

>>295
Most people use may and might interchangeably.
I had to look up the following difference on wikipedia:
might is the conditional mood of may
"If you were nicer, I might invite you to dinner sometime".
Here is the link if you want to learn more:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_modal_auxiliary_verb
It talks about many pairs of these types of verbs: would, will/shall,
should, may/might, can/could, must/have to, ought to/had better and so
on.
signing off for now

>>306
I see my translation was wrong, then.

>>302

In this sentensse there's no subject but we Japanse can uderstand what
the subjects are.

バカにする means insult. 怒りだす means gets angry.
(怒る means gets angry, too and 怒りだす means starts to get angry.
maybe "starts get angry" is unatural English but you know what I mean.
I translated 怒り出す　as get angry, but precisely it means starts to
get angry.)

The subject of バカにする, I think, is anybody who meets Sparky at
Bar Gikoppoi. バカにする means insult.
The subject of 怒りだす is Sparky.

So all in all, the sentense means "when someone insults Windows Me,
he gets angry." I used passive voice though.

>>309
It seems I interpreted the sentence almost the same, except for the meaning of バカにする
Since it was the first time I encountered that phrase, I thought of my own interpretation.
Thus, in my mind it sound like "do something stupid" or, as I wrote it, "misbehave."

>>304
I see. And thank you for your compliment.
>>306
mock at is more true to the nuance than insult. And the nuance of "might be"
isn't in the original Japanese.

>>303.>>305
Without looking up each and every word I don't understand, I don't know
what the they mean.

>>310
I see. That makes sense. Anyway, nice try.

Time to go now. See ya.

>>311
It would be useless looking up the words in >>303, >>305. They're mostly nonsense.
This is a poem by Lewis Carrol. It's somewhat famous, and is from the followup book to Alice in Wonderland.

Kanji can be pretty. Making wallpapers of them is something of a hobby of mine.
I just spent about an hour making 紅 crimson. http://i37.tinypic.com/x5b43k.jpg
What do you guys think? I've done several others too.
I suppose if you're actually Japanese, it's kind of mundane to use something like this for your wallpaper.
Kind of like me having a wallpaper that's just a stylized word "red." Sort of silly.
To me, though, the kanji wallpapers look nice.

your mind is very broken

>>318
You mean wallpaper of PC display. I thought wallpaper on the wall first.
Kanji looks exotic for foreigners. I don't think I'd have kanji on wallpaper.
Now I have picture meaning painting, on wall paper. I picked it up from
Windows Vista's originally installed. Some people get kanji tatooed although
all I saw tatooed are NBA players. I don't think no university studetdents
have tatoos on thier skins.

Have you ever tried have your real name written in kanji?
I would wirte handle name, like 熟（じゅく）which means mature or ripe.

Hey all, just got back from my USC interview. I think it went really well.
I mentioned I did a homestay in Japan and the interviewer got really excited and asked if I was
interested in doing a study abroad at Waseda University. We also joked about how hard it is to learn Japanese lol.
Oh and once I saw he liked Japan, I took out my collection of Japanese panties and let him take one.

He also said that my schedule would be flexible enough to accommodate numerous amounts of courses in Scientology/Scatology,
despite having many required Computer Science courses.

>>318
That's pretty sweet jook. Got anymore/fullsize?

>>325
Wallpaper is the word most often used for the picture on your computer's desktop.
Background is common too.

Seeing kanji tattoos is actually pretty common. It's exotic and stylish.
Probably most people don't even know for sure what their tattoo means.
They just trust the artist, and sometimes they get screwed for it. You get people with "Ugly slut" or somesuch tattooed on them, and their convinced it means "Eternal Love" or something.
Of course, not all are like this, but it isn't unheard-of.
Anyway, it's certainly not a phenomenon restricted to basketball players.
Many people, men and women, get kanji tattoos.

as for my name, it has an r-consonant combination, so it wouldn't translate well.
I can find something close, though.
When I visited Japan, I was named 渦巻 because my hair was dyed in the pattern of a spiral.
Now, my hair is long so I can't do that. It was a lot of fun though.

>>326
You can have the interview in Chicago or you're staying in California now?
Which would you choose to go if you pass one of the IVY league university?
IVY league sounds more cool to me. I didn't know USC is a good university.
Waseda is one of the best private university in Japan.
You took along your collection of them! Just taking one of them was enough.
But I guess just one panty wasn't enough to cope with your nervousness.
You gave a bribe to him. But once he accepted it, your enrollment is ensured.
Congratulations!

I know you can handle the numorous amount of courses. Studying them
is your dream.

Here's a gallery of all my kanji wallpapers.

I realize I used the wrong half of Peace.
平和 is the Japanese, and I used 平 when the main meaning is carried by 和。 oh well, I didn't know at the time.
The rest are all right, as far as I know.
probably someone here will tell me I'm a complete failure and I did it all wrong.

>>327
You can't trust tatoo artists, I guess. They just look up words in dictionary.
Native Japanese speakers's check is must.

> r-consonant combination
Robert, Rechard...Hmmm Guessing goes nowhere.

渦巻. I see.

>>330 I'll tell you this, it doesn't also start with R.

>>329
>I used 平 when the main meaning is carried by 和。

Yeah. I've never seen the kanji for Fear. I can't write it and read it.
I type おそれ　and convert it to kajin and voila 虞. We usually use 恐
or 怖　but　虞 may looks more cool because even average Japanese don't
know what it means and mysterious even to Japanese.

>329
As for `将`, you can't mean `general` by the one letter.
If you want to mean `general exactly in Japanese` exactly, you put `軍` behind `将`　, and
then it becomes `将軍` or general.^^

>>331
I gave up!

>>322
I agree.
How could you appear that difficult kanji ?
What hiragana should I type to convert it to 虞 ?

Oops.
Correct one is...
“>>332
I agree.
How could you make that difficult kanji appear ?
WHat hiragana should I type to convert it to 虞 ?”

>>329
I find the 平 one really nice actually, it has a peaceful feel to it. GJ
虜 reads とりこ and doesn't neccesarily mean fear but does go with
the image behind it, because it's used as a metaphor in a somewhat
negative way. I think a literal translation would be"prisoner", "trapped"
or something along those lines.

>>336

おそれ

>>338
That's right, I read it totally wrong. It's 虞 not 虜.
Ignore my post >>337...

虜 can be used in a positive way.
There is a famous French song, the title pf which is あなたのとりこ in Japanese.
You can say “彼は彼女の虜だ” when you see a person who is fascinated by a certain girl and cannot
think anything other than her.

>>340
I half agree. To her, it may be a positive situation since she's
attractive enough to do so but to him, it may not be that positive
because he's too preoccupied with her. :(

>>27 I thought it was cute when you called him sparkly. :) You should continue to do so!

>>234 I would add that "miss you" can also mean the kind of miss as in this example:
"Hey I came to your house the other day but you weren't home!" "Oh really? I'm so sorry
I missed you. I must have been at the store" In this case they missed seeing the person
as the timing was off, not emotionally missed. You can also "miss someone's call" in the
same way.

I do my kanji name by meaning because it is possible with my name. 結晶... ooor... 水晶 I looked up the second one and it
didn't seem quite right, though it was the first version I learned to do my name..
Wow It took a long time to catch up from yesterday...
I understood why the person joking about my Orochon essay said jook loves bean sprouts.
I thought that was really funny.
I think maybe my essay part about the levels was confusing though? I thought the way I
described it that number 1 would be the very spiciest ramen at Orochon, not 7. That's
how they number them, but maybe I explained wrong. BTW I got an A on my essay :)
My sensei commented she also likes to go there.
BTW jook is wrong, I don't dislike them for taste, I just find it weird to have
something crunchy in my noodles. I try to pick through most of them, (and in Orochon
they put a lot in) but i don't mind having one or two in each bite. I gave him the
sprouts i didn't eat because he was still hungry.

Umm, you maybe right.
When we say “彼女の虜だな” to him, we may have a slightly cynical intention.
When someone calls himself as 虜, the word is used in a positive way, I think.

>>327
＞I thought it was cute when you called him sparkly. :) You should continue to do so!
lol. You are mischievous!
I can't continue to do so, because
it's impossible to bear this shame any longer!
But, thanks^^;

>>345 lol, well feel free to mess up my name in cute ways anytime ^_^

Gikoppoi is a cyber space where it's said that sparky used to go.
What kind of impression do you have about that space ?
I think staying there is very unhealthy.

>>328
I did the interview in Chicago near O'Hare International airport.
I guess there are enough people in the Chicago area applying to USC to warrant sending
four interviewers out here. USC is my first choice and has one of the top engineering programs in the US.
However, some of the other schools I'm applying to are overall ranked better (Ivy League), USC still has one of the top
computer science/interactive media programs in the country. They have a lot of contacts within the video game industry in California
so it'd be easy for me to get summer internships at studios like EA and Blizzard. I picked certain Ivy League schools like Columbia University
because they offer liberal arts degrees in computer science, which is my back-up in case I don't get into an awesome program like USC's.

Oh and it's not a bribe, just a friendly exchange of fetishes!

Hey guys. I disappeared for a while.
As for my fear kanji, it's just what my dictionary gave me. I didn't know the kanji before either.
If I had known that there would be something else easier to understand, I would have gone with it.
But if the meaning is still there, then I guess I'm ok. >>332 says it's mysterious, so maybe that helps too.

>>337
I'm glad you still get a nice feeling from it. That makes me feel better.

Windows Me is a lot easier to fix than NT.

Windows me is portable is what i learned

if you move or rename your Program files
Windows Me will still run flawlessly!
and all the settings are in the C:\windows\ directory
i can move toe original to a subdirectory and copy the original into the c:\
so i have a copied Windows Me and guess what?
IT STILL RUNS FLAWLESSLY!

虞 can convey the fear and mystery feeling more than other words meaning fear, such as 怖,恐,
because these words are used quite often in our daily lives.
(they are terrible enough, though)
It may match the atmosphere of a old temple or shrine.

Oooh, spooky. I like that!

I'm starting to think maybe I should purchase some used panties to increase

Slow night...

>>360 I didn't know the meaning of “spooky”until I looked it up. It's worth noting. BTW what day of the week is it today in the U.S?

>>364
Right now it is 12:29 AM on Sunday, December 14th.

>>364-365
Also known as 00:29

>>364
for me it is now sunday dec 14 at 03:32

>>365-366
Ah, yes. That's the time on the west coast. I live in California.
The US is big, the time varies depending on where you are.
Japan is relatively Tiny. Even California is bigger.

>>365-367 Thanks. In Japan, it is Sunday evening. It's worth considering today is Sunday both in the two countries. This is coincidence ？？

>>364 Anyway, you asked the day, not the time.
It's Sunday everywhere except Hawaii and probably Alaska.
It's still Saturday there.

I should have written “in the both countries”. Maybe.

I'm Japanese and live in japan, so I'm watcting Meets boy world, Greg and Darma now.
I love comedy very much, my favorit is Frazar and seinfeld.
What's your favorit comedy?

>>369 at 15:00 in Japan, the first part of America entered Sunday.
Mainland America covers 4 time zones.
So, if my middle-of-the-night sleepy brain can do math correctly,
Japan and America share the same day of the week for 12 hours a day.

>>370 Oh that is an interesting fact. Why today is holiday all over the world? When and why it is unified ?

>>368
"Even California is bigger"? That makes it sound like California is small.
California is the third largest state, though. Its area is 423,971 sq. km.
Japan is 377,873 sq. km.
The closest states in area are Montana (380,837 sq. km.) and New Mexico (314,914 sq. km.).
...at least, that's what Wikipedia says.

>>371 No, either "in both countries" or "in the two countries" is correct.
"in both the two countries" is reasonable.
"In the both countries" is not correct.

>>372
I used to watch Boy Meets World long ago, when it was still new. まぁ　なつかしい〜
These days, I don't watch a lot of TV. Mostly I stay at my computer.
Sometimes I watch TV. I like American Dad, Robot Chicken, and Burn Notice. That last one is more liek a drama though.
I download anime to watch though. Gintama, Zetsubou sensei, One Piece...

>>375
I suppose you're right that it sounds that way.
What I meant was that my state is bigger than their whole country.

>>374
Sorry, when I said "everywhere" i didn't mean it literally. Not the whole world.
That was within the context of the subject of America. So, "Everywhere" meant "All of the US"
...except Alaska and Hawaii.

What happened to BIG 3?
Do you think Obama'll bail them out?

I think America is expected to do more.

>>378 Thanks. But today is also holiday as in the U.S. at least in Japan. If it is Sunday rest of the world, it's interesting, isn't it ?

>>379 They're getting money.
I don't think the government should be saving companies though.
We're supposed to have a free market.
If a business is going to die, let it die. It's not the government's place to decide whether a private corporation will survive or not.

>>379
well its not up to obama its up to congress. plus even if it was up to obama, he is not the person in power. bush is in power. congress rejected a bill for a bailout and the big three are going chapter 11

>>380
No holiday here. What are you celebrating?
The closest thing to a Holiday is the full moon last night.
In a week is the Winter solstice. That's a holiday to some people.

If BIG 3 is in any more trouble like applying for chapter 11,
the world economy will get more sluggish. That surely put the world into great shock.
America is asked to take action to powerfully boost the world economy,
not getting drawn into blocking imports, Or else, we should set our minds to prepare for more trouble,
worst, war.

>>383
Oh.. Sorry.
Umm, not holiday, but... day off ?
In other words, today is a day when people don't have to go to the offce, and students
also don't have to go to school.
Sunday isn't such a day in the U.S. ?

>>385
I understand. We don't use Holiday that way in America.
They have a similar meaning in Europe - to go "on holiday" is take a vacation.
I don't know if they also say it the way you were.
In America, it's a "day off"
I understand why you said it the way you did though. 休み has several possible uses.

>>386
Ok, I understand it.
Do you say “thanks giving day” to describe a holiday ?

Ok, I'll change the topic.

Do you guys remember I mentioned we have national English learning radio programs?
Do you have interest in what they're like? The programs are originally broadcast on the radio
and after that they are uploaded on the officical Internet sites for a week.
Let us hear your oinions about the lessons - like the English used in the program is funny, we
don't usually speak like that! and what not.

>>388
i have read about these but this is the first time i have ever listened to one. i did not expect them to have this much english in them

>>387 I think you've got the right idea.

I think that's what they're supposed to do, overacting in an animated way
that helps the audience understand the context of conversation. Characters
in most TV dramas, movies and animes are all exaggerated to the extent
that they are unrealistic, if you look at them that way.

it would seem that each morning just before 05:00 (am) that i cant load 2ch. this stays this way for about 2 hours.
well i best be getting to bed. good night

I couldn't also load 2ch for about thirty minutes right before,
though living in Japan.

>>392Good-Night!!

>>389
How do you find them? Funny, wierd, useless, out-the-question?

>>393
Same here. That sometimes happens, though.

>>396
nice information.

>>342
You got an A on your essay. Thumbs up!

>>348
Thank you for the explanation. So you didn't have to go all the way to
California. Good. But If you had had to, you could have had a homestay
there.

Hello all! I haven't been on in two days because I had to get ready for New York, which is where I am now!
Does anyone have snow yet? New York has had snow since late October, maybe I'll post a picture of our snowy house later today.

Where in NY do you live? Upstate NY or Manhattan?
Have you ever visted or heard of thuosand islands, which borders with Canada?

Here in western part of Japan, we haven't had snow yet.
How are you going to spend your vacation?

Hello, Captain Spicard.

>>400
I live in syracuse, NY. Very close to the great lakes, if you search on google earth.
This means that we get an insane amount of snow, because the snow can be a result of wind over the lakes traveling our way.
And yes, I've heard of the thousand islands, but I've never been there. And if anyone is wondering, upstate New York is NOTHING like New York City/Manhattan, it's pretty quiet... I live in the suburbs.
Also, how much snow do you end up getting in Japan? I figure every part of Japan gets snow at least once a year, but I'm curious to know... as I'd never live (by choice) in a place without snow.

>>401
Hello!

My uncle has hit bankruptcy. Oh, American economy, you suck ass.

Paul Newman became a good jew three months ago.

>>402
We don't get much snow in the east either, maybe a couple times in a year,
though a lot in the north. So your best bet would be Hokkaido, the northern island
if you ever wanted to live in Japan. And I heard there are no roaches there,
which is quite a bonus.
I'm falling asleep, talk to you later, Captain.

バカにする is "make fun of someone" rather than insult someone.
insult is 侮辱する.

>>329
平和 is actually japanese. 平和 seems to be rarely used in China.
If it exists, it is not as frequent used as in Japanese and the meaning
must be a little different.
和平 is a traditonal word.
和平's literal translation is pacification (with military power).
So 和平 says that peace is the thing to get by power and be maintained
by power. 和平 instill people that 平和peace is the thing to protect the nation
from outer force.
平和 doesn't have deep meaning. 平和 just states the conditoion of peace.
和平 is more essential and pratical word.
We don't use 和平 except for circumstance under war. We rarely encounter
和平 in real life.

>>290, >>299

The UK has often been accused of becoming a 'Big Brother' state, and
has been given that term even in national newspapers, tabloids and
television reports... so over here, at least, it's pretty commonly used.

As jook says, CCTV is extremely widespread here and you'll often see
at least three cameras at most intersections or open spaces (usually
where pubs might be), depending on where you are. In the town where
I went to university, they have been trialling CCTV systems with both
a camera and a speaker system, so operators can actively warn or shout
at people...

I'm bored this morning and have been just laying around the house. I
looked at 4chan and found a thread about some guy who is teaching in
Japan... this is what he said:

"Im living the dream in Japan....Rather I live out in some puissant villiage where nobody seems to want to
associate with gaijin. Im forced to give mind numbing lessons to high school kids who dont give a shit and
work with teachers who resent me being here.
Its now my weekend but I am drinking sake by myself in my apartment listening to Electric President and
browsing image boards. Fuck you, I should never have listened to you, it sucks ass here.
pic related, its my shitty room."

The general consensus of the responses were that it was the OP's fault for being
unsociable, alienating all of his "would-be friends," and not trying to understand
the culture.

What do any Japanese posters make of this? I've heard so many mixed responses about
one's time when they went to Japan. Some say it is great and the people are polite
(outside of Tokyo) especially if you can speak Japanese. Others say it is terrible and
they have nothing to do.

>>402
I searched Syracuse on google earth. Yeah, It's near the lake. The right one.
I wonder when the photo was shot. It hasn't snowed in the image but they don't use
photos in which you can't see towns in detail because of snow. I challege you to
a snow ball fight.

Funny thing is that when I zoomed in a house in Chicago on google earth, I spotted
a man sniffing a panty. I think I'll report it to Google. It's an invasion
of privacy.

To all those in a jail, those persecuted for the cause-Your actions
were not in vain, soon the light of freedom will shine again!
And if you’ve lost your home, your job or someone that you
love-Stand your ground there’s a place for you in the Kingdom
that’s to come!

>>403
I'm sorry to hear it, but rest assured he isn't the only one who is feeling the pain of our economy.
>>410
Google Earth doesn't update too often, but that new 3d zoom is certainly an invasion of privacy, I'm not sure how they have gotten away with it all this time.


I got an off-topic idea: I'm going to take a picture of my house, my bedroom, and a bit of the snow. I want to compare your Japanese houses to my American suburb house! Lets see what's similar and what's not.
I'll post some pictures later today when I'm not busy (mom's friend is over, showing us pictures of her time in China).

>>409
OP means an opening poster? It took some time to know what it means.
I mostly agree with the opinions of 4channelers. It's his attitude and character.
But I can empathizes with him because I'm not good at socializing, too.

He's an ALT?(assistant language teacher on JET program) I don't know where he lives now
but some of them have to live in rural areas. So maybe some of ALT gets
disappointed, especially if they are rose colored life in vision in Japan.
I think he should make firiends with other ALTs living nearby and
ask some advice and ask what tips are to make the most advantage of life
in Japan.

There are lots of blogs of ALTs and some groups (community) in SNS are
for ALTs in Japan. Some ALTs upload videos in which their life in japan
is shown. Maybe it's better for him to contact with other ALTs, instead of
posting on 4ch. He may not adopt to people and life in Japan but at least
he earns a 3-3.5 milliom yen a year. That's not a bad salary for people
in early twenties.

If you're thinking of applying for JET program. It's better to conatact to
former or current ALTS. Ideal ALTs are, if you ask me, someone who's
interested in Japan, Japanese language and people in real sense, has passion about
teaching English, always thinkning about the most effecftive way for
students to improve Students English. But as for the last one, as the
4chan poster says, some low level school academically are full of lazy students
and give a damn learning English. So it may be difficult to keep
his passion about his mission.

And sorry for your uncle. In Japan, the influence of the bad economy
is spreading. Job cuts and salary cuts and all that. It's said economy
hasn't hit the bottom yet. Maybe it's just chapter 1. Oh my.

>>405
Interesting to know... If I ever visit Japan I'll be sure to detour there, to see if it would be a nice place to live! I'm not very tied to my home, so I wouldn't mind living in Japan so long as I enjoy the country and would have a job that I liked.
Sleep well, see you later.

sparky, you need to format the hdd before you install an OS. if you do not you will get brokenness out of it.
boot off your xp cd, format the hdd ntfs, then install xp.
note that formating will delete all information.

Metaphor. Actually snow piles up to house's top.
They have to dig up snow around the house. The scenery of
The northern west of Japan looks buried under snow.
Children commute through the path with walls of snow.

Dig up is the right word?

>>430
thats why you back up before you format and reinstall.
you really need mental help sparky

I probably made a mistake, influenced by the words like
north western university. What's the difference between
northern west and north western?
Northern west is noun and north western is adjective?
Is northern west university is permissible?

suggestion : Exchange e-mails and give him directions.

Native speakers disappeared?

The difference between northern west and north western.
Whether "dig up snow" is correct or not.
I want to know.

>>435
sorry, i am here on and off.
if you are talking how we say locations in the usa,
we say north western usa, south eastern usa, etc.
we will say dig out of the snow:
"there was so much snow around my house that i had to dig my way out"

>>429
This. If it's a OS you are trying to install... speaking of which I got to get Slackware installed on my laptop later tonight.

Okay anyway, here's some pictures of my house in New York, incase anyone was interested of what such a house looks like. Does it look similar to you? Anything different?
Back yard: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/charpersondude/PC140007.jpg

Also yes, the tiny laptop and huge headphones in the living room picture are mine, because no one else in my family is crazy enough for that.

>>433
I don't think "northern west university" is correct.
The word is actually "northwest"--one word, a combination of "north" and "west".
So, it's probably "northwestern university".

>>436
I see.
Northern west of USA is North western USA if I'm right.

>>438
How about the university of northwest?
I might not be adequate words for the proper name though.

>>440
Sounds awkward. the University IN THE northwest sounds better

>>437
Hearth is typical american thing. We rarely see herth
in houses. It's probably luxurious thing in Japan.
I heard hearth was the tool to make the love scene
romantic in the movies and tv dramas.
Size of your house seems to be not bigger than that of japanese typical houses.
Smaller than I expected.
The picture of backyard is blurring but maybe bigger than
averaga japanese ones.
By the way I'm not the one who has been chatting with you.

>>441
Thank you.

>>442
>"I heard hearth was the tool to make the love scene
romantic in the movies and tv dramas."
That's a funny way to look at it, and it's true that it is used in some rommance scences.
It's not that we need a fireplace (we don't call it a hearth here), I mean, we have heating through gas and electical appliances...
but fireplaces are just something nice to be around with your family... it is extra warm and peaceful.

As for the size: Our house average for where we live, the size you would expect an American suburb house to be.
They can be much larger, but where we live this is the middle class (40-80k dollars a year) area of the city.

As for the yard: Our yard is also average for where we live, but some places can have almost no yard, or if they are in a more rural part of America people can have many many acres of land (we only have a quarter acre I believe)

>>437
As >>442 said, the size of your house is samller than I imagined, too.
I thought the fireplace is the biggest differences. We don't have it in our house.
Santa in Japan come in by opening one of the windows.

On the left side of the photo of the living room, is it a wig?

By the way I'm neither >>442 nor the northewestern guy.

My mom's reaction to your mention of the wig was "It's a what?!"
Almost nobody uses wigs in America. That's her natural hair, she just had dyed it reddish brown recently.

But as I mentioned in a previous post, houses can be much larger in America, this is just the average size of houses in the area that I'm in.

hearths are just put in american homes out of building traditions.
there was once a time that fireplaces were used to heat a home and cook food. but now they just put them in homes for the sake of it being a tradition.

i can slow it down to 100 Mhz or slower

TOO SLOW
FOR WINDOWS ME

>>447
And the bed and desk. That type of the desk and bed is to save spaces and
suits for a Japanese house. Becasuse a desk is under the bed and looks like
using space effectively.

LOL I thought it's a wig placed on something. But the "someting" is actually her body.
She's looking at the monitor of the CD. Now I see that. Maybe that's because I am awake
all night.

Say hello to your mom and say that your son is always wasting his time in 4chan and 2ch.

>>448
Not only that, but not all homes have fireplaces. I'd say only about 70% of homes in my state do, but down in florida where it is extra warm, I bet nobody has fireplaces.
So mostly, people buy a house with a fireplace as a benefit, not as a necessity.

>>448
same with a living room. at one time it was improper to bring guests in to the main portion of a home, so a special room was made for this, this it was also used for dead people. its just a tradition to have these places now

why am i suddenly getting an error message if i try to put in more than 2 sentences worth of text? this is new. am i being censored?

Firestar, did you try to put it in one line? It won't let me make really really long lines.

The number increasing on the left bottom of the page shows total photos
of Photobacket? It's up to the minute number?
If so, WOW, Someone somewhere on earth now even at this moment is adding
new photos.....

>>452
ya there are not many traditions for heating a home down there. hot as hell down there. i can't stand it.

>>454
so more than one line works then? i shall remember that.

>>455
Several sites have those, I think they lie to make people think it is a good site, to get people to join.

>>455
Photobacket is an uber popular site

>>458
Lie? But if they have millions of members, somewhere someone at this very
moment is adding photos.

>>459
Flicr (sp?) is more popular as far as I know.

>>460
Well, I figure it would be pretty obnoxious to put a image that counts the uploads of images to their server. Anything's possible, but I really don't think they would go to all that trouble when they could just fake it.

Japanese houses are usually not furnished with hearth and chimney.
In showing district, irori(open hearth?) is replaced for hearth.
We can only see them in old fashioned houses in the cold rural area.

We don't care whether the server is up or down.

I mean "snowy district".

Are there any specific benefits if you have an account on photobacket?

as far as you have an account.

I've already found out there's a board specifically set up for reporting trolls.
I'll collect your previous/current/future posts like this one to report.

btw I HATE PORN

94 posts are made by【火花(4 ^ヮ^)】 ミ田 ◆AZWpeumso, most of which are intended to spam/copy&paste AAs.

>>477
Sparky never talks about porn stuff here so he's not the type mention in the
article.

>>478
I know what you mean. Sometimes his posts are annoying.

So sparky, this is just my opinion but take a listen to it.
This is a thread for chatting in English so you can chat whatever you
want. You can chat your PC, Windows Me, or whatever.
But this isn't "talking to yourself" isn't chatting.
If you want one way conversation, it might be better to start your own
blog or something about your PC or server. In yuor blog, you can write
whatever you want. You are the boss there.

Or else, you can set your own rule in which you can post as many as ten posts about
your PC here in this thread. This is just my opinion.

>>477
im going to get a knife to kill myself

it is for uploading photos if you don't have any web hosting. i have got my own personal web hosting so i don't have a need for photobacket.

>>489
>>490

firestar, you're not a native English speaker, right?

>>495
i am a native english speaker from pennsylvania who came here from 4chan several days ago to make sure sparky does not give us a bad name.

Gorge.W.Bush has the talent of boxing.
If the showes had hit the face of Bush critically, the honor of America would have been
seriously degraded. a
But firestar might have pleased with it because Bush is responsible for the corrent economic turmoil.
(I'm not sure know who should really be responsible for it.)

haha

>>497
Bush is not responsible. there are many many factors spread through out the past several decades which allowed this to happen.
he is simply but a part of a larger whole.

>>500
I leanrn it. Thanks.

Live watching. It's funny. No privacy.

Kim got unreasonable advantages over asada, still loseing to asada.
Media didn't report the fraud at all. Media is preoccupied with
asada's win and take this chance to hide an inconvinent thing. I think the fraud
matters more than asada's win. Media would have hardly reported the fraud
even if asada had lost.
I said f5 attack was the korean invention.
When something doesn't feel good and right for koreans, it will become
Japanese (anthing's) fault.

>>496
I take it you are from /g/ then?

>>500
agreed. Thinking about the acting period of Greespan, it is clear.
Greenspan was once called Maestro. His reputation faild.
Greespan was just the same
as former CEO of financial institutions who jumped overboard before
ship sunk.

According to Bush,
the size of the showes thrown toward him was about ten inch.

>>504
ya i came at the same time you did. due to that thread in /g/ last tuesday

I remember the arrival of the time of Captain and firestar.
It is sure that you came here at the same time.
I had thought that you were known to each other before coming here.

BTW, I grasp the character of linger and firestar less than other native speakers
who has own handle name.

>>507
Oh. Well you have been awfully nice, so I figured you couldn't have been from /g/.
Where are your mac threads? Where are my Opera threads?

>>508
People on 4chan often post anonymously. I don't, but because firestar had, I didn't know that he was from 4chan.

The name of Captain Spicard makes me associate with a general of SF movie,
because I see a person who has a similar name often in that kind of American movies.

Do you have a taste in a SF movie

I'm a fan of Star Trek, if that's what you mean.

>>510
Ummm, I understand it.
【note】Firestar and Captain Spicard was in the same thread of 4ch, but firestar
didn't use habdlename, so Captain Spicard couldn't recognize him.【memo】

>>513
Right. If you ever visited 4chan you would know what I mean.

>>512
Oh! It is invaluable information because I have a several question abour Star trek.
�@Does the TV program broadcast now ?
�ADo you know that Stephen William Hawking, who is the one of the most famous theoretical physicists,
has appeared on it?

Star Trek inspired you to name yourself as Captain Spicard ?

>>515
It airs now, but it only replays of old episodes.

Also, yes I did know that Stephen Hawking appeared on it... but I can't remember what episode.

And yes, Captain Spicard is a similar name to Captain Picard, one of the best characters in any Star Trek.

>>516
Thanks.
I'm being surprised to see your name is very similar to the character of
the Star Trek.
It may be proved that my assumption was correct.
Ok, thanks agian.

Do you know anyone more annoying then me?

>>518
Why are you saying that ?
You may be slightly annoying people here sometimes,
but it's ok at least for me.

because over 9000 people find me annoying
because i seem to be repetitive
....
i have bad social skills

>>519
don't feed the troll

Recently, I've been playing Left4Dead.
It seems pretty fun.
Does anyone else here play it?

>>520
Perhaps because you talk to yourself too much (like right now)
Nobody likes this, but everyone would be okay with you if you didn't talk to yourself so much.
This isn't a blog... you should actually talk to us rather than just talking about yourself to yourself.
And I don't want to hear you say that you want to kill yourself, because thats just more of talking to yourself.

>>520
It's not hard to stop posting the same comments.
All you have to do is just to post one comment every topics.
Over 9000 people ?
How did you know that?

>>524
"over 9000" is a 4chan meme

>>524
because
i been in many places in the internets
also im famous
and i been online scince 2003

i know over 9000 people hate me

>>525

You had better reduce the amount of time to browse the internets because
you are to young to devote yourself to the cyber space.
Avarage students in Japan are struggling to study to enter university.

But be careful, if you continue to waste your time on the internet,
you must have hard time in your daily life in the near future.

>>522
hells yea, that game is awesome. I've been playing with my friends a good amount.

Sorry I haven't been posting much but I've been really busy. Today I had to scramble to get all my homework done
so I could go to a concert. I didn't exactly get all my homework done, but it was totally worth it because some of the band members signed my t-shirt.
In Japan, are concerts really intimate (in the sense the audience is jam packed together)? I only ask because I know in general Japanese are less "touchy feely".

>>530
Good night.
You can come here any time you feel depressed but you have to recognize there
also enermies here...

>>533

night
...im bleeding....

>>532
If you go to the place called `live house` in Japan, you are packed together
and as a result, your skin is supposed to touch others, regardless of their gender.
(This is what I heard from acquaintances)

We hardly hug each other and I have thought it quite natural.
In the U.S., the situation differs from the one in Japan ?

There is a Windows version! I didn't know it. I gotta go to buy.

Apparently, some korean are tying to get rid of sparky to start to propaganda thier country as he fades out.

>>535
Well at least for the concerts I've been to it's always been jam packed.
In my opinion it's more fun that way (and having girls around in these cases is a definite bonus, is that vain of me to say?).
However, the bands I like attract a younger demographic (aka hipsters), so I'd be
surprised if an older demographic would act similarly.

This is the band I saw: http://www.myspace.com/canseidesersexy
trance/high energy bands are the most fun to see live I think.

>>538
No, it's quite natural to think so, if you are male.lol

T have bever been to the trance concert but I think it very nice.
I can imagine how people there become insane though.lol

what dose this mean?

>>522
I played through the four movies and quit... It was fun the first time
around, but really, even if the zombies come randomly... it is all the
same shit, isn't it? I tried the versus for a bit, that was OK, but it
got stale quickly. Some people think the versus is just amazing, though.

The only game I've really been playing for like.. the past year is Medieval II: Total War.
It is just warcraft / statecraft strategy game set in the middle ages.

>>538

I nearly cringed at how hipster that band is. It is almost like they are making fun
of hipsters.

>>545
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

various music stuffs are nice for me.

>>547
The tempo of their music is slower than I thought.
It didn't sound me like a head-banging type of band.
Did you spot the band on myspace or you had heard of them befor?

>>422

I got it yesterday! I'm an Ausfag so it cost a lot of money, but I've been playing with friends and it was so worth it!

You're talking about a game you plat with PC?
Doesn't playing a game with PC require Good graphic card performance?
You have installed good one for your PC for gaming?

>>547

Haha, I'm probably around the same age as you, but I have to say you are mature for your
age... I don't know many people who would have responded so passively. I liked the music,
but I couldn't find any trance. Was that supposed to be trance?

I thought trance was stuff like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk-FFrfE0kk - Passage D - The Flashbulb

i take notes faster on pc than paper
also to save paper

>>626
I don't think it's the matter of how fast you can teke notes.
I'm asking about rules of your school. If students who think they can take
notes faster on PC want to bring their PC to school, your school's teachers
allow them to do that?

Oh wow, if anyone can provide me with some more information about Japanese Cultural Festival it'd be much appreciated.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Cultural_Festival is the most specific info I can find besides some blogs posts (which don't have anything I don't know already).

>>650
I visited tsukiji market when I was in Japan.
Unfortunately, my group got off to a late start, so we got there after most of the action had finished.
If I saw people acting like this when I was around, I think their bad behavior would reflect on me.
I'd deck him, I think. And drag him away.

>>665
Japan seems to be proud of their many fold festivals. They are seasonal, and sometimes even local.
When I was there, I was in Fukuoka just in time to miss the yamakasa festival. People build huge, decorative floats, and carry them in a sort of parade, I guess.
They even race with them. I have some pictures of some, even under construction - the festival was the week after I came home, so I didn't get to see it.
I was able to see some of the prep work in a couple places though.

>>665
Sometimes, a private university invites famous singers when Cultural Festival being held,
and in the rare case, famous a singer or talent comes to school as a surprise guest(I don't know this phrase is correct or not)
wihout informing students of that.

>>66
Oh, I'm thinking of the wrong thing.
Feel free to disregard 667, everyone.

>>662
You're a subhuman cat, aren't you?

>>662
It's because when 2ch opened about nine years ago, first of the kind acsii art like the cat, is so called monar created here then.
Monar has been used frequently on here.
Sometimes people on here are confusing curious onlookers with the cat.
Also there were cases in which was called Neomugicha incident, The 2002 Japan animal cruelty case, etc.
That's why they intend to be lead to obsession.

>>669
Don't worry.
Well I guess what you described by (huge, decorative floats)
is mikoshi in Japanese.
Please remember it!

>>675
do you really think that there are ETs at groom lake?

>>672
Are you saying that's what the floats are called?

When I said "I'm thinking of the wrong thing" I meant about the festivals.
It turns out アメリカ人　was talking about school festivals. I was thinking of matsuri in general.

>>678
Ummm, I think my way of writing was incorrect.

>It turns out アメリカ人　was talking about school festivals. I was thinking of matsuri in general
I know, of course.

>Are you saying that's what the floats are called?
Yes.

>>679
I understand then. Thanks!
I don't think I ever heard the name for those floats while I was there.

...No, that's probably wrong. I must have. I guess I forgot.

>>680
If you want to join the members carring the float(mikoshi),
you can say “僕もみこしをかついでいいですか？” to them and then
you can join them!

>>677
Honestly speaking, I don't bleave it at all.

Why isn't people using my board?

(>>682)
I might say that in an exaggerated way.
I very-very slightly believe that ETs exist in area 51,
because I often hear UFOs takes off from that!!(I know it's a just rumor.)

>>684
like in the x-files (tv show)

>>683
Japanese TV shows often say that UFO are witnessed often in U.S.A or
Mexico.
It says that a lot of people have seen UFOs especially in Mexico.
I know Luisiana locates in south part of the U.S.A, which is near to Mexico.
So, I have an question.
Have you seen UFOs in your life ?

>>685
Yes, and I know the tv show.

Then, how do you think about UFOs ? Do you believe the existence?

>>683
where is your board?

>>668
Ah, thanks. You don't happen to have a source for that info do you? It's not that I don't believe you, but if my teacher questions it I need a good answer.
Also, if anyone knows the history behind bunkasai (i.e. when was it started, etc) it would be very helpful to me.

I don't want to be selfish, but I'll be sleeping/at school when most Japanese start posting here and I was wondering if someone could make sure my questions about bunkasai
don't get lost amid the rush of new posts. Thanks again for any help, night yall!

>>687
well yes. if it's flying and it can't be IDed then it's a UFO.
but i don't think that there are ETs.
most likely what people are seeing are just secret US aircraft.
the weapons this nation has are incredible.

i once saw what looked to me like the ISS over the skies of my home. so i went online to

track it. the ISS was over near japan actually. so what i saw was not the ISS. but nothing else up there is large enough and close enough to the edge of space to look like that.

if i had to guess what i saw was a spy-craft flying on the edge of the atmosphere/space.
i just hope is was one of ours...

>>688
don't feed the troll

>>681
That would have been so much fun!
I wish I could have stayed to see it. I would have run too!
But, I had to leave a couple days before the festival started.
By the time it was going on, I was back in America.

>>690
>if it's flying and it can't be IDed then it's a UFO.
Yeah, it's the definition of a UFO, as you know.

It's interesting if what people thought to be UFOs is actually the U.S. military
aircrafts, and I think it's the nost probable.

>i just hope is was one of ours...
lol
Even if so, it's also the threat to our country...

BTW, my mother strongly believes the exisitence, because according to her, she
has seen UFO three times in her life.

> but nothing else up there is large enough and close enough to the edge of space to look like that.
I couldn't grasp this sentense well because of my poor English skill.
I hope if you explain this easier way.

>>690
>but nothing else up there is large enough and close enough to the edge of space to look like that.
That isn't entirely true. Plenty of satellites are visible. You can see them if you watch for a bit on clear nights.
Look for lights about as bright as stars that don't flicker or blink, moving across the sky.

>>689
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%A6%E7%A5%AD
In this page, following things are written.

有識者による講演会やパネルディスカッション : lectures and panel discussions by people who specialize the subject.
著名人を招いたトークショー : talk show by a famous person
歌手のライブやコンサート : concert by a singer
お笑いタレントによるライブ : commedy show by commediens

>>694
Oh! I could understand the meaning of the sentense.

>>694
i know what a satellite looks like.
the ISS looks the exact same, only super bright/large because its huge.
what i saw looked and moved just like the ISS.
i thought for sure it was the ISS.
there are astronomers in my family, we know these things.
and since there is nothing that large up other other than the ISS, i can only assume what i saw was at the edge of space. because low and high altitude aircraft do not have that satellite look. and satellites don't have that ISS look.
only super high altitude aircraft do, like the SR71 blackbird

>>697
Fair enough. Are you sure othe aircraft would have the surface area to reflect back enough light to look as big?
Personally, I've never tried to spot the ISS, so I can't be sure what it looks like exactly to make a comparison.
I do know that SR-71s, aside from being black, aren't actually used much.

>>698
ah yes i did not mean to imply it was an sr71. they are no longer used.
twas an example.
the only way to get that satellite look would be to be near space or in it.
and the only way to get that ISS look on a such smaller object would be to be much closer than the ISS.
by logic the only assumption that i could make was that what i saw was a super high altitude aircraft.
not many people have those.

oh man i just installed the .6 update to 10.5 and its faster.
nice

>>700
That's wonderful, but what are you talking about?

>>701
leopard

>>690
Why just US aircraft? Are there no other countries?

>>703
i do not know what i saw, so i couldn't tell you.

>>703
US does 46% of the world's military spending...here, check out this neat graph:
http://www.globalissues.org/i/military/country-distribution-2006.png

Anyways, about UFO's...I think if Aliens came to earth, we would all know about it.
Because if Aliens came to earth, they'd do so knowing about humans, and probably want to have contact with humans. So they'd mount an entire publicity campaign.
With alien technology, Earth governments wouldn't be able to cover up or conceal Alien contact...

I mean, if you were an alien civilization sending ships to Earth, you wouldn't just send 1-2 ships, would you?
You'd send an entire fleet.

>>653

You are missing the possibility that though Aliens have already communicated with human beings,
we citizens cannot be informed of it.
Then, we can't know the existence of them until they start to conquire and colonize the earth...

You can't ignore him so you are annoying one either.

>>721 said it right.

just ignore my posts
if you don't like them

>>723
For your part, you have to put some effort into being considerate to other posters,
instead of just throwing in every thought that pops up in your mind.
Just recall jook's advice before you post, sparky.

Actually, you've been doing pretty good so don't take it too seriously, sparky.
Good night.

>>724
i know but when nobody is here i should do a dance instead?

>>689
I'm not 668 but I guess no one knows the history of bunkasai.
Other than history, I think Japanese people can tell from their experineces
what their bunkasai was like as highschool students but you need
source for that? Then the source is 2ch but you can't tell that to your teacher.
Anyway, When I was a high school student I remember each class made something.
along their theme. What our class did when I was 12th grade is that we made in our class room
a haunted house made of cardboard. It was like a maze whose walls were
made of the cardboards collected nearby factories. They gave us them
free of charge because, the cardboards were supposed to be abondened.
Visitors to our class enter from one door and exist out of the other door.
In the middle, they enocounter ghosts our class students desguise in.
We cover windows with black cloth so that sunrays don't come in.

it takes two to tango..... but who wants to dance with stupido?

>>689
In university level, the cultural festival is in large scale. Other than
>>668 said, some universities holds Miss *** and Mr. **** university
contest. It's something that feminist would be against.
http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=KevMneg1da4
This video shows when the Miss Keio was decided. Keio uni is one of the best
private univirsitues, Keio and Waseda is good rivalry.
I found an interesting video, in 2007 Waseda univeirsity invited Adult
porn video actress 及川奈央(Nao Oikawa, the woman in pink http://ib.to/d/av19/91ib1.jpg)
to Waseda's culture festival. She's just one of the celebrites invited
that year. That's one of the reason you can't resist studying there as an exchange student.
But seriously, both high school and university culture festivals are
open to anybody. You don't have to be their parents or the students of
the school to enjoy those festivals.

This is a video of Mr. Keio contest in 2007. http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=o3K3ToRM0JE
Mr. Keio contest started just from 2006. I think Miss Keio started long before.

bunkasai: school visiting day

Japanese universities are mostly located at urban areas and
both campuses and school buildings are small and dirty.
アメリカ人 will be disillusioned with the fact.
Even verginia tech where legendary cho made an historical event
is more spacious and cleaner than Tokyo university.

As for waseda university, wada shinichiro is the flag? of waseda.

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=doXuJxMiTDw
He is called イケメンikemen, which is a trendy word for good face guy.

By the way, Trendyトレンディ was trendy years ago. lol.

In addition to ikeman, he is ギャルオgyaruo, which points at gal-ish? guy.
Wada-san is legend.

Don't forget ブサメン

I watched the first video you posted. At 1:33, the host-type girl says "congratulations" to the winner.
I was surprised by her pronunciation. She got the L sound really well - that's difficult for most Japanese.
I was able to understand most of the winning girl's little speech, too. She spoke a little fast, but didn't say anything difficult.
"I'm happy, etc etc" about what you'd expect, I guess

Your second link is a 404 error.


>>735
Wow, I'm disturbed.

>>739
Sorry for the wrong link. Just omit ) st the end then you can see the jpg.
Anyway I forgot to link the youtube video there, which is
http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ugrq25XRKM and then because she wears
pink clothes in the video, I put the link to her nude photo, which is
http://ib.to/d/av19/91ib1.jpg
For more of her photos, http://ib.to/?av19

So you understand almost all of what the winner's speech. Big thumbs up.

> She got the L sound really well - that's difficult for most Japanese.
Agreed. Maybe she can speak English very well.

>>695>>727>>729
Wow that's a lot of good information, thanks! I definitely can use that in my presentation(maybe not the nude pic...).
I'll probably post more questions in a bit, so watch out =P.

Hey bro!
What are we talking about?

>>741 Perhaps you can connect it back to panty-sniffing somehow. Claim you already took hers, or something.

Korean Wave is remarkably popular among girls all over the world.
They say they fell in love with Korean guys when they were bitten by the Korean Romance bug.
I didn't know why they got so gung ho about Korean guys, because one can't realise what's his attractiveness by himself,
but those girls throughout the world pointed out how good-looking, cool and hot, sexy and gentle Korean guys were.
That made perfect sense to me. Yes, Korean guys surely look quite handsome in comparison to other people. But what got me moved most
was they knew how nice Korean guys were. I was quite happy to know girls all over the world love Korean guys among other people from other nations.
Plus, it really came as a surprise to me that white girls are mesmerised with Korean guys. Many white girls say they can't imagine a life without Korean guys
on this planet, in the hope of meeting a Mr Korean perfect someday. Don't forget, white girls, there're many perfect korean guys for you.
I'd go on a date with you. So until then please enhance your beauty so that you can catch my attention when we meet!! I'm looking forward to that.

>>743
I agree.
I would suggest if the word "panty" isn't included in each アメリカ人's post,
his collection of panties is confiscated one panty at a time.

>>742
Panty and culute festival in schools in Japan.

>>744
The only reason Korean guys go for non-Korean girls is because all
Korean girls are insane and crazy.

You now what? They are supposed to marry Korean girls if they are from Korea. And they have to.
They can fooling around with girls from other countries as much as they can. That's why they can take risks without cares when it comes to picking up local girls.
That's a huge difference between Korean men and Japanese ones.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=bmfiCQMxx9A&NR=1
Can Koreans even steal hearts from them? I doubt it.
Koreans will be stoned!

ill be gone guys

>>747
I don't know what you wanted to say.
If you want to get married to a girl from abroad, you can.
And I don't think Korean guys fool around with girls. Korean guys are sincere and kind to girls.
Korean guys treat girls like princess. That doesn't exclude snogging, of course.
Yes, girls dream about being treated as princess, and Korean guys make their dream come true.
That's why girls all over the world are interested in Korean guys.

>>752
Are you the one who's spreading Korean supremacy here?

文化祭 must have been started as educational, serious event, literally
aiming at studying about culture.
But its objective is nominal.
It can be applied to 修学旅行 too.
Syuugakou is japanese words for educational trip.

Oh, I remember waseda 文化祭 was once administered and monopolized
by a communist revolutioary group http://www.jrcl.org/img/L19921pho11.jpg and
文化祭's earnings had been a resource of their group.
Waseda president suspended 文化祭 for four years. It's not an incident of
long long time ago. The incident within only a decade ago.
I remember extremists disguised as victim and were whining
on TV.
They just wanted money for doing nothing. That's all.

I'm not joking this time. Well known story.

>>752
Korean boys can beat down neo-nazi skinheads one by one and even racist
white girls fall in love with k-boys?
Korean is like ochiai nobuhiko!

>>752
Dream on...

>>748
You mean the little girls? Then the answer is no, because those girls are too young to know there are nice guys in Korea. Look at it this way, they can get involved with one of their classmates.
But it'll be a different story after they are finished with conpulsory education. They will get access to Korean websites dealing with Korean guys and gradually get interested in Korean guys. No doubt about that.
I'm sure they will fall in love with a Korean guy when they are aware what cool guys are and where such guys live.
It all depends on that.

>>757
Which part of "Dream on" you don't understand?

>>755
Korean is like what?? What's ochiai nobuhiko? Anyway, you seemed to miss the big point here.
Many girls around the world love Korean guys because they know Korean guys is nice and gentle.
There's nothing more I can't say than being nice to girls is the key.

>>757
I'm sorry to tell you this, but Japanese anime kicks in their brains first.
That means your theory won't fly.

>>758
What? lol

>>759
Do you have any idea how many universities and colleges in America offer Korean class and Korean studies? Check out the figures. That tells you a lot.

>>760
Hmm, that's hard to understand. Is there something to do with anime? What's that supposed to mean? I thought we were talking about Korean guys and how many chances there are those girls will be in relationship with a Korean guy.

>>762
So you don't want to admit how very popular Korean guys are among girls all over the world?
Don't try to bend the truth that's been proved/established already. Ok?

>>763
No. You're just glagging about how one particular racial group is superior to others. That's all.

>>764
The sun won't rise in the west even if you insist on that for 1 million times. Get the message?

>>765
Oh yeah? Seems you got me wrong. I was talking about one fact of Korean guys being popular among girls and what conclusion I've reached about why.
As I said, Korean guys are lookers and at the same time very nice to girls. And I wasn't bragging about it. Korean guys happen to be so.
And tell me what anime has got to do with the topic?

>>766
The sun rises in the east like many girls love Korean guys from the bottom of thier hearts. What's the problem? Unchangeable fact, it is.

trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls.....

Well, the truth seems bitter to some people on here that many girls say Korean guys are adorable and cool.
I saw those kinds of posts a million times on youtube. Girls posting comments from overseas are quite very hooked on Korean guys.

It never rains but pours. I feel hopeless.

>>771
What do you feel hopeless about?

You don't know? Search online. There are horribly many white girls exclaiming their love for Korean guys.
I speak from experience.

Some people here are so twisted that they don't seem to see the truth Korean guys are popular among white girls, I don't know why. Are they jealous?

So said the most twisted individual known to people in this thread.

I had long been wondered why a person who are severe against sparky
doesn't react to this Korean guy.
But, I reached one conclusion just now.＼(^o^)／

>>747
Forgot to say this. There are many cute Korean girls actually.
For example, Kim Yuna is called a sister for all Korean people.
She's super cute, I admit. She was supposed to get the first prize the other day, but
Mao Asada extorted her fame because of Japan money.
Besides, the fact remains Korean guys are so open-minded as to accept white girls as wifty, of course.

>>786
There's no call for a troll like you.

hey look at
>>527

If I travel to Europe, I want to buy delicous cheeses a lot.
I can purchase them at a super-market in Japan, but most of them are imported
all the way from France, German or other European countries, so they cost a lot.
Getting blue cheese cheaply is one of my dreams!

>>790
?
Maybe, my way of writing makes you misunderstand.
Read 787 carefully or you catch the point.

Ok, so here is my (bad) attempt at writing some Japanese for my presentation.
The Japanese is my simplified translation of the English. I had to forcibly put some grammar
I recently learned into the writing. Oh, and you'll notice that I used spaces and not that much kanji
which is because I have to memorize it.

The formatting was really bad when I pasted it into 2ch, so here's the MS Word doc:
home.comcast.net/~gigabutt/bunkasai.doc

>>765 I don't think "glagging" is a word, but I think it should be.
I hereby use my native-speaker powers to declare that "to glag" is a verb meaning "to babble endlessly and ignore all attempts at others to stop you or make you see reason."
Let it be so!

>>791 I really love cheese. California is famous for cheese too. It's one of my favorite things.

>>793 The lack of spaces sometimes make Japanese difficult to read.
If you can't tell when one word ends and another starts, how can you get the meaning?
I think I've gotten better about it recently, but this used to really be a problem for me.
Now, it isn't so much unless there are a ton of kanji involved.

>>793
Damn, I found a few errors on my own. That's what I get for doing this all last minute.
Oh well, I hope I don't screw up too much in class tomorrow.
>>795
Yea, I don't have that much of a problem with the lack of spaces, just did it in this case
to expedite memorization.

>>796 I seem to be lucky with presentations. I'm usually able to produce what I want to say on the spot.
So when the rest of my classmates are translating and trying to exactly memorize everything they want to say,
I'm writing down half a dozen keywords (probably some both in English and Japanese) and just remembering them.
Then, when it's time to present, instead of struggling to remember something exactly the way I struggled to memorize it,
I simply come up with the sentences on the spot.

電車男の話が分かりますか、みんなさん？
私はそのテレビばんぐみを今みています。
おもしろくてときどきかんどうします。
本当にこの2chでその話がありましたか。
そして、いつでしたか。
ばんぐみをみるので、とても長いときじゃないと思う。

>>798
I feel like there may have been places in there I should have used "のこと" but I'm not really sure.
電車男のことが分かりますか maybe?

>>799
hey vermin, 電車男のことが分かりますか sounds weird kill yourself asap

>>800
を分かりますか probably is better I suppose, eh?

>>801
no, idiot
it should be like, 「…　を　ご　ぞ　ん　じ　で　す　か？、　ご　し　ゅ　じ　ん　さ　ま」
だろうが糞外人ｗｗｗ

>>802
I'm thinking 糞外人is more like you, am I right?
Everyone knows I'm 男伊達

>>802
ごぞんじ seems to be another way of saying to have knowledge of something, but there's no need to be rude about it.
Unless my dictionary is looking up the wrong kanji.
Anyway, how is this word different from 分かります or しります?

>>803
You're a 害人, not 外人.
No one knows what 男伊達 means, ドアホｗｗｗ
伊達男のつもりかなー　くるくるパーｗｗｗ

>>804
you don’t have enough brain cells to learn the japanese language!
アホ害人はとっとと死になさいｗｗｗ

>>806
You first.

>>805
>No one knows what 男伊達 means...

I knew that when he asked that weeks ago.
Other guys answered what 伊達男 means and my poste was sort of ignored though...

>>803
> Everyone knows I'm 男伊達
男伊達？！

BTW, jook, can I be a grammarnazi? >>798 is written in good Japanese, but I found some grammatical erros that would be better corrected to make more sense.

>>810
Yes, please.

>>811
Ok, wait a sec.

>>811
line 1: 電車男の話をしってますか、みなさん？
line 5: それはいつでしたか。(Don't know why, but そして doesn't fit in this sentence. Maybe we rarely use it before asking more question(s).)
line 6: ばんぐみを今（いま）みているので、そんなに前（まえ）じゃないと思う。

The last sentence is a little confusing, but I think you meant something like
"I'm watching the program right now, so I guess it's not been long."

しってますか may be a bit informal, so you may want to say しっていますか instead. Their meanings are the same.

Ask me if you have any questions. I'm not a teacher or anything, but I'm happy to help you.

>>813
What I meant form the last line was:
From watching the show, it doesn't seem like it was very long ago.

>>815
Then, ばんぐみをみたかぎりでは、そんなに昔（むかし）じゃないと思う。is better.

Xをみた限り（かぎり）では is an idiomatic phrase that means "From doing X, (I think...)"

Oops, Ｘをした限りでは is the correct form. I used みた限りでは because you meant "from watching X."

So, you say すこしよんだ限りでは、その本はおもしろそうだ。 when you want to mean Reading the frist few pages, the book seems to be interesting.

>>816-817
Thanks, that's very informative, and I learned a new form.

>>813
>そんなに前（まえ）じゃないと思う
>>816
>そんなに昔（むかし）じゃないと思う

Are you able to explain why you say this as そんなに（前/むかし）?
Specifically, why you use "そんなに" here. As far as I know, そんな is roughly "That kind of x" so I don't understand putting に with it.
I will check for an answer tomorrow. For now, I will go to bed.
Thanks for your help.

>>794
I'm not 765, but haha, `native-speaker powers` is cool, jook!

>>798
Your sentenses are good enough, except for the last line.
I can grasp what you want to say quite easily.
Continue your efforts and expose them to us! It's fun and informative to read
Japanese compositions
written in foreigners! though it seems that there is an enermy here.
Speaking of `densya-otoko`, I have not watched it.

Anyway, good-night. Feel free to write Japanese sentenses.

>>813
While we're at it, what's the difference in using 分かる or 知る?
It seems I only sometimes know when to use one or the others.
I was taught that 分かる is "understand" and 知る is "know" but it seems like 分かる is just as often used to mean "to know something."
It seems like I asked this question before, but I guess I didn't quite understand the answer.
Are they somewhat interchangeable? Or is it wrong to use one or the other in certain situations?

>>821
We don't need a moron like you here in the 2ch, jook.

>>819
そんなにXない is a set phrase that means "(It's) not very X," "not quite X," "not that X" and the like.
じゃない is an informal version of ではない.

Some examples may help:

It's not that difficult. そんなにむずかしくない。
He's not very young. かれはそんなに若く（わかく）ない。

In my opinion, the actual sense lies somewhere between "not very X" and "not that X."
Read the following if you want more details. Ignore them if not; it may be confusing.

あまりXない is closer to "not very X" than そんなにXない.
Also, そんなにXはない is closer to "not that X." (Note は is used before ない)

So, そんなにむずかしくはない is more like "It's not that difficult" and
あまりむずかしくない is very similar to "It's not very difficult."
そんなにむずかしくない falls somewhere between the two, I think.

Native Japanese speakers sometimes say そんなにはむずかしくない. (Note は is between そんなに and むずかしい.)
This also means "It's not that difficult," but I'd translate it as "It's easier than you think."

Anyway, look in your dictionary or grammar text and double-check it.
I'm not a teacher or as gifted as Crystal. I could be totally wrong.

He's not very young.
かれは"あまり"若く（わかく）ない。

I don't like it very much. あまり好きではない
I don't like it so much. そんなに好きではない。

Logically, when you ask something to others who may not know it,
you should say ○の話を知っていますか？ at the beginning of conversation.
(because if you don't know it, you caanot understand it automatically
so, you should confirm whether others know it or not in advance)

HOWEVER, we often say ○の話がわかりますか？ quite frequently at the beginnig.
I think in this case, abbreviation is occuring because we say that kind of thing very often.
Maybe （○の話をしたとして）その話がわかりますか？ is correct.

Anyway, the way you wrote is correct and good enough to covey whart you want to say.

>>825は-> >>821 へ

>>821
わかる often means "to realize," "to get (the meaning)," "to understand," or "to know."
知る often means "to hear of," "to learn of," "to know," or "to understand."
Of course, sometimes 知る can be translated as to realize and such.

I think わかる is placing more emphasis on the mental process of "understanding something" while 知る is tend to be used when the actual way to get to know something is in the speaker's mind.

These two somewhat artificial exmaples may help you get the sense:

私はこれがわかる。means "I CAN understand this," i.e., your brain can handle the information properly.
私はこれを知る。 means "I am about to know this," i.e., you're implying you have access to the new knowledge.

I think you can now understand the differences between these natural phrases:

それはわかっている。means "I know it (full well)," and may have the connotation that
it is already in your mind or that you mentally understand it so it's not new.
それは知っている。 means "I know it (full well)," and carries the sense that
you already heard/read that somwehere else before.

That's why you use わかった when you mean "Gotcha." What you actually mean is that what he/she just said is, say, stored properly in your brain.
If you say 知った in a similar situation, you'd sound as if you're thinking of the physical process of understanding what he/she just said, i.e., you sound like "I get you because my ears were able to hear your voice."

Added note on >>827:

As another anon said in >>825, わかりますか and 知っていますか can be used when you start a new topic. But they have different connotations:

Ｘをわかっていますか？ means "Can you undertand X?" because わかる emphasizes the mental process of understanding while
Ｘを知っていますか？ means "Did you know X?" because 知る is related to the way you get to know the idea.

これを知っていますか？ means "Did you know this?" with the connotation that "Have you heard of this?" or "Have you read about this?"
If you say これをわかっていますか？, then you may sound like you're saying, "Are you aware of this?" or "Can you understand this?"

わかんねえ

>>828
I can agree with you in that 知る means understanding slightly something, but 分かる means
undestanding something deeply.

even if you say 皆さん、電車男の話わかりますか？　僕最近はまってるるんですけど・・、
you can say it sounds natural. I think.
(皆さん、電車男の話わかってますか？ is very strange though.)

・・but when you talk with someone person to person, 電車男の話わかりますか？
may sound strange. 知ってますか should be used.

わかる should be used when you ask abstract questions to others.
・ ねえねえ、ギターのことわかる？
・　あのさ、君、数学わかる？
・　演歌の話わかります？

If you refer to a concrete thing and ask someone whether he knows it even slightly,
you should use 知っていますか？.
・ジェロって演歌歌手知ってますか？
・イチローっていう野球選手知ってる？
・電車男知ってる？
Umm, I think 電車男 is too shallow to understand deeply.

長々とうざいな、スマソ

>>829
Actually, this is another good example of わかる vs. 知る.

わかんねえ is a slangy version of わかりません. I'd translate it as "I don't get it."

The corresponding slangy way of 知りません is しらねえ.
If I were to say it in English, I'd say, "i donno." しらねえ implies you haven't heard or read about that.

>>830
>わかる should be used when you ask abstract questions to others.
>・ ねえねえ、ギターのことわかる？
>・　あのさ、君、数学わかる？
>・　演歌の話わかります？

I don't think 知る and わかる have anything to do with abstractness of information.
These are just idiomatic usage of わかる, meaning "Are you familiar with X?"
Like I said, わかる is more *mental* than 知る, hence this usage.

Anyway, I could write about わかる vs. 知る ad infinitum, but I don't think it would help improve his Japanese.

I'd say, "Don't try too hard to understand the rules. Listen to and read Japanese instead, and you'll find you already know them."

BTW, sorry for my terrible grammar and a plethora of typos.
I don't think twice or take a second look at my post when I'm on 2ch.

Korean people got mad when Asada Mao won the figure skate competition the other day and, soon after that, started cyber-attacking 2ch 2days ago
(when the English board of 2ch was down as you may know), and then some of Japanese people returned the favor,
and then again Korean attacked. I'm just a bystander, but how meaningless it is... Korean people suffer from hwa-byong desease.

I haven't watched the TV nor movie of 電車男。
But I know what the story is about because I'v read the story
about him on the net.

I searched and found out that the first post of 電車男 about his enocounter
with the woman was on March 14th, 2004, 9:55pm. His post number was 731. He
used 731 as his handle name first but eventually, posters in the thrad began to
call him 電車男 and he changed his handle name to 電車男.

Doesn't matter. They're all stupid. That's it.

Now I got the whole picture, it all started out with an emotional explosion about
the figure skate thing...

Making your essay sounds perfect will give your teacher an idea that
you cheated. So I don't correct it to make it perfect, but some suggestion to
make it better.

じょうじ、なつ　に　文化祭　が　あります。
Change じょうじ、 to ふつう　to make the sentence 「ふつう、なつ　に　文化祭　が　あります。」
みせつけて　あげます。should be　「発表します。」show off sure translated
as みせつける but not sound good in this contetext.
クラブかつど--->クラブかつどう
大学　で　文化祭　は　大きい　から　時々　ゆめいな　人達　に　来ます。
---->大学　の　文化祭　は　大きい　から　ゆうめいな　人達 が 来ることもあります。

There are more things to be corrected but I'm not sure to what extent I should correct your
essay. To make it perfect doesn't work in favor of you. Your teacher
doubts you cheated. Hmmmm. Anyway, good luck.

It's really informative and interesting for me
to see English essay written by a U.S. student. Can I save it ?

(corrections)
まいとし　夏に　文化祭　が　あります。文化祭　とは　がくえんさい　ともいいます。　文化祭は
　中学、　高校、　大学　とで　おこなわれます　。生徒達　の　ため　の　文化祭　であり　
生徒達　は　じゅぎょうでまなんだこと　や　びじゅつ作品　を　ひろうします（みせつけるは不自然です）。
そして　生徒達　は　うた　や　ダンス　
　コメディー 　など　を　します。しばしば　ホームルーム　や　クラブかつどうの　メンバー　は　ゲーム　を　したり　
食べ物　を　作ったり　します。たくさん　
伝統的な　こと　が　あって　けれども　たいしゅうぶんか　事　も　あります。

大学　での　文化祭　は　規模が　大きい　から　時々　ゆうめいな　人達　が　来ます。
そして　時々　大学　で　パージェント（美人コンテスト）　が　あります。

文化祭　で　りょうしん　や　生徒達　の　友達　に　見にきて　もらいます。
文化祭　は　楽しい　イベント　ですが　いいんかいの　ほんとうの　もくてき　は　生徒達　が
ちがう　学校　を　みたり　新しい　友達　に　出会う　機会を　あたえることです。　

I fixed a lot, but don't take it seriously.
The best way to improve your writing skill is to write many compsitions.
Ovarall your Japanese is good enogh. I can understand most of the sentenses.
