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 over the world, learners of Japanese
who are too lazy to update their Japanese blogs very often, and cunning
linguists. And let's hope the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon!

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

>>1
Good job, idiot!

Kabunarashi tea? Google didn't find any search results.

>>2
This tea is produced in Japan.
Thus you can google it by using hiragana character.

They say that this tea has flavor of citrus fruits.
It seems the taste is slightly controversial especially for people who adore traditional tea such as Darjeeling.

イギリス人、thanks a lot. King Artur's story is interesting. In Japan too, raven is
both sacred and ominous animal. Japanese mythology says one
god sent yatagarasu(やたがらす and yagagarasu navigated the first emperor
Jinmu during his conquest to the east.
Yatagarasu is the emblem of japan soccer national squad.

Here is a famous children's song 七つの子
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb-gejKCdjs
カラス何故泣くの　カラスは山に　かわいい七つの子があるからよ
black crow(raven), why do you cry? black crow to the mountain because
it has a cute seven-year-old chick
（there are two theories. ｃhick would be equivalent to seven years old
if it was a human or just 七つ implies seven chicks. I assumed 七つ meant
seven years old and still think it right)

Raven's image may have been not as bad as today.

And about superstition. I think a raven on top of the roof and starting at us
make most of us feel scary and unlucky. It's superstitious. My knowleadge is
limited, so I can't explain this historically and academically.

In modern life, raven is becoming more more of bad image.
they porch at telegraph lines and scavenge the dust bags and boxes. Sometimes
they attack human's heads from above.

And as for hirosue's ex-husband. Bragging may be half-true. It can be said
he only exposed his daily life. He was ex-member of a japanese street gang
and a biker gang alliance. Naturally his friends will be the people associated
with these groups. Still I think he brags about how bad and strong people are
around him though.

How do you think abou his massive body? Even though he is korean,
he shows how big asians can be.Even that murderous body
couldn't supress half a dozen metal bats though..

A copy of the blog of Kosuke Takaoka(husband of Aoi Miyazaki).
You can see okazawa and then-Kanemura(kim)'s pictures and names.
He says "Kanemura is an old partner of Okazawa. Kanemura gives him
good advices. He has to hang in too".

" " was not necessary.

>Is this JoJo a member of the working class, or is he an upper-middle class
>modern(ish) gentleman?

JoJo is the man of the end of 19th century when Jack the ripper
shivered England.
JoJo's father is an aristocrat? with huge spacious house and garden.
He employs many servants in his house. He owns carriage and coachman.
JoJo's father is called ジョゼフ卿 which seems to equivalent to Lord Joseph.
I coulnd't find an appropriate image but here is a room of JoJo's house.
http://blog-imgs-42-origin.fc2.com/k/o/t/kotomona/jojo1-p02.jpg

JoJo's must be from upper-class or upper-middle class.

I understand JoJo's ways of warding off is not popular in U.K.
I'm not confident with my English. I try to make sure.
http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/200903/31/91/f0187691_13503127.jpg
JoJo throwed a stone from this kind of posture.
I wonder how and where the author Araki collected the information.

And I have one more thing which haunts me sometimes about JoJo.
JoJo was often bullied by working class kids. Working class kids make fun of
him yelling( like "wimp JoJo") and throwed stones him.
Do you think its possible that working class kids bully a son of
upper class at that time?

I have to make it clear that I'm not JoJo fan. I read both first and second episode.
The first is good and second is not bad but sometimes embarassing.
I read the third half way and don't know much further about JoJo.

>>4-6
Why are you so stupid?

Previous thread still has enough room to post what you wrote here.
You should have used previous thread.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL58cvcdRUU
We can get the synopsis of zozo's first episode here.
In the first one minute, two working class man beat the shit out of
JoJo trying to help a young lady.
Later he is boxing in the field with working clas thugs.

youtube movie doesn't cover all bullyings by working class thugs.

Sorry. I'm afrad that the previous thread will be used up halfway
before he replies my questions.

I see. Thanks for your explanation.

どうしてもの時はオラがかわってあげる

There are few stores which sell the foreign book. My plan is spoilt.

japanese young people always develop a demn word such as "池沼", "KY" and so on

they must memorize the english word instead of stupid making word

>>996
I didn't know that, but the virus has the same activities as what you said.
By the way, why did you know the person was female?

She's been around here in English board for one year or more as far as I know.
Judging from what she wrote so far, I think she's a woman who is around 30 years old.
She can be 35 or older. She often wrties about relationship although what
she writes is so random and doesn't make sense almost all the time.
It's very rare but sometimes she posts a relevant post so I don't think it's virus.

>>16
Unfortunately, a virus in these days is sophisticated.
In fact, those viruses can do that.

If you are Japanese, have you ever heard "人工無能"?
They incorporated the technology of "人工無能" into the virus.

Believe it or not, sometime we cannot discern the post by a person from the post by the virus.

>>15
every words are to attacking.
because they know that attacking is evil thing.
so they made another word that people cant understanding to conceal a evil thoughts.

japanese are evil race as same as another race.
but the concealing is part of japanese culture.
so people barely see the evil part of japanese.

I have to say that that is not necessarily being virus.
Some script also can do that.

Sometime they create a script or a program for only their pleasure.

So there is another possibility that someone do that on purpose by using such a script.

and same time.
in japanese culture.
accusing will be banished.

I can't agree with you.
They always disclose their stupidity as well as the offensive.

If they think they are able to conceal their instinct, I cannot help but laugh.

Japanese is not so beautiful as what people said.

>>17
Maybe you're right. But I think she's a real woman.

why dont you get a man for that?

>>23
Why don't you propose marriage to her?

I will wait for it.

is this about japanese stupid jargon that uses in 2ch ??

they are phimosiser to hide from normal socializer
they cant speak loudly against general people
so they use idiot idiom

I was talking to a Japanese woman a couple of days ago and she
says that American boy bands from the '90s are still popular
in Japan.
Could this terror be true?

Also compare:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%89%E6%85%8B
with:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hentai

I think the difference is funny even though it's the same word.

going to china is like going to taliban stronghold area.
so be careful.

>>30
China=North Korea

for example?

its like russia own 30% of FOX's capital.
most stupidest country in this world.

Are you japanese?

fucking stupid bastard

>>28
I don't feel so.
But it is said that J-POP is getting less and less popular recently.
So I guess old(and foreign) songs may substitute for it.

kiss my ass little fuck

Take responsibility for having killed me.

shut fuck up fuggy pussy

>>28
What band?

Bon Jovi, Backstreet boys are still popular, I guess.

Bon Jovi is guinzo lol

I like American idol!

fuck you asshole

suck my dick nigga

I must confess, I sincerely apologize for dwelling on this planet.

>>47
Why?

Are you a extraterrestrial? or do you feel sorry to harm environment of this planet?

you fucking crazy
why dont you looking for your hell and going

Back Street Boys appeared in a famous Japanese live entertaiment program.
They put their heads and hands into the holes of human frame.
I think joined quiz about Back Street Boys too.
It shows either how popular they are or they have to do on their own to sell
their concert tickets.
I don't think Back Street Boys for everyone like Bon Jovi
In my opinion they are like bald old buddies. They didn't look like idol
since their debut.
Back Street Boys and Bon Jovi are liked by middle class corny white people
in the suburbs, aren't they?

>>49
huh, no one know what hell is.
if you believe that hell exists, you are addicted to fuckin religion. lol

he knows the hell because he is the hell.

demn ass look for pussy lol

>>50
The Backstreet Boys were popular in the 1990s but now they're not so much.
Boy bands were popular then but not anymore.
Bon Jovi is still fairly popular but not as much as he used to be.

fuck street fucking Boy
suck ya mom's dick asshole

I don't know about yours, but my mom doesn't have a "dick ass hole".

maybe its a ironical expression

he said, your mom is fag or something and you are fucking piece of shit

Now that I discovered Japanese and Korean boy bands, there is no turning back.

UK/US band members do not look elegant, graceful, agile when they dance.
They look like thick sausages really.

And their music is draining, not energising. They are no fun at all.

>>1
Impressive tea. Must try and find some someday.

>>4
I don't know much about Japanese mythology, but that's very interesting.
The raven has is mentioned so much in so many different cultures. In
Norse mythology, the god of gods, Odin, was known as the Raven God.
Huginn and Muninn were two Norse ravens which flew all over the world
to deliver Odin's messages, as he gave them the power to speak. Viking
sailors took ravens on their voyages as instruments of navigation - they
would throw the ravens up, which would then fly upwards... if the raven
came back to the ship, then there was no land visible, else the raven would
fly to the land and the ship's navigator would follow the direction to land.

They're not much of a pest here. It's usually foxes or cats that break open
rubbish bags, and they're often seen on roads, feeding on dead rabbits and
hedgehogs.

As for Okazawa, he's clearly just trying to show off. Having a body like
that is by no means ideal, as he's only been concentrating on building up
one place rather than balancing out. Still, I'd not want to meet him on a
dark night.

And as for JoJo, perhaps Araki found a folk tale somewhere involving that
method of warding off curses - it's possible that it happens somewhere in the
country but people just don't know about it because it's a local superstition.
By your description, he sounds like he's supposed to be upper class, but it's
unusual that a member of the upper class would have a chance to mingle with the
lower classes, as they tended to stick to who they thought of as their own kind.
Even in cities, there were rich areas and poor areas and so not much chance of
having constant contact with other classes. There would be some times, of course,
but not on a common basis.

>>54
Some years ago, I was on a trip to Austria for skiing, and had to visit a local
shop in order to stock up on some food. On the counter at the checkout were some
chocolate bars in the shape of the Backstreet Boys.

>>38
Sakamoto Kyū was very popular here...

i often take a message from foreign people when i play videogame.

foreign people always throw it against enemy player for annoying
mostly curse verb or meaning word

i cant believe it
because japanese player rarely send a male to other one
whatever it is annoying or praising

they are scared of being exposed in 2ch

so let me ask the question to foreign people

is there any scaring major website in foreign Internet suck as japanese 2ch ??

2ch is necessary to watch on immoral people

>>61
www.4chan.org/b/

It is called "the stinking anus of the internet".
Well, I'm sure it has been called that at some point...
I find it entertaining, myself...

http://boards.4chan.org/b/res/279040022

>>60
>chocolate bars in the shape of the Backstreet Boys.

uhmmmm, sounds very yummy......

>not much chance of
having constant contact with other classes

I wonder if there are people who want to break the boundry of the class and
move up to the higher class by e.g. studying very hard?
Or if one is born in a lower class family, does it mean that it's his/her
fate and need to accept that status?
Or is it so that even if the lower class people make it to the higher
classes, there are explicit/tacit discrimination against them,
so they might as well stick to their own class?

Anyway, UK seems be very different from countries like US or Japan in that
respect, so it's difficult to understand how people feel about the situation.

how about Sakamoto Ryuichi

i dont know why he is worldwide Ryuichi

>>64
These days, the class system is very different. The closing of the gap
began in the early 20th century, when the Liberal party had a string of
electoral successes (mainly due to a reform of the voting system some years
previous). The Liberal prime ministers, especially Lloyd-George, were
responsible for the setting up of Britain as a 'welfare state', which did
much to help the poor and lower classes. They drastically improved working
conditions including health and safety, as well as introducing a law to extend
the length of compulsory education to 14 years of age. Hundreds of thousands
of new homes were built under Liberal instruction as a means of housing families
who were otherwise living in terrible conditions in windowless rooms, some
families being up to 10 people living in a single, unlit, unventilated room.
National insurance came into effect, where the worker paid a tiny amount of their
wages, their employer paid a little more, and the government some more on top of that.
This was to ensure that a family whose breadwinner (chief earner) fell ill would
have state provision to live, instead of risking starving to death.

It was this period that built the foundations of the welfare state, which eventually
led to the formation of the NHS in 1948 which provides free essential and beneficial
healthcare to British citizens.

However, many people now believe the government has gone far beyond the call of welfare,
and has turned the country into a 'nanny state', where too many aspects of peoples'
lives are intruded into for the sake of 'public and state security'. Health and safety
has gone overboard now.

wat ya fucking point
u shuould summarize briefly, fucking idiot

I'm practicing English listening.

>>58
Do you have any favorite Japanese actors other than Jhonny's boys?
I think Korean bands are more great build than Japanese ones probably because
they have to serve military or their mindset to body is closer to western.
Almost no Johnny's boys are eager to develp mustles while Korean actors and
singers are. Just my observation, though.

****** is fucked

He said "stuck".

if he has been raped, it is fucking hell itself i guess

stop it , ma sides fucking ache

Thank you very much for the extensive explanation about the big government
situation in the UK.
I've interpreted your interpretation in this way;
the government has pampered the poor too much that those people
have become lazy and less motivated to work hard to move up for
better lives.

Our prim minister is actually aiming for something similar.
He sated one of his slogans as 'Realizing the society with minimal unhappiness',
which, I think, sort of going against capitalizm.

sex planet of nation

Do not worry, that sort of things never had gone well.

stupid cunt. johnnys are korean.

in japanese culture. people who don't work with own hands are dishonorable.
because people who can make physical things are important in economy.
so. bank, show biz, conmans, servants, religionist, trader are dishonorable job.
usually japanese dont want to do it with life job.
so japan got advanced technology and economy.
most celeblities in japan are low class japanese or korean.

so British economy was failed because of Bank con.

in my opinion, suck my dick

In my opinion, you have a very stupid opinion.

The chilean miners have started to be rescued!
The first one who got rescued seems to be a very
calm and cool guy.
After being buried 700 deep for 69 days,
I wonder how one can maintain his sanity.

I'm also interested in how the guy with his wilfe and a lover fighting
on the ground will cope with the situation after being saved.

What a unit of length did you say?

it is fucking weired faggot

Chile miners rescue underway:
In just a few hours a handful of the 33 miners who have been trapped in a Chiliean mine
could get their first taste of freedom in more than two month.
The men have been stucked since the mine collapsed August fifth.
Last weekend a massive blow blasted a hole that is wide enough to pull them through.
The men will come up one by one in a special tube-like capsule.
Many of the men had to lose weight to be able to fit.
[Mining] minister [Larns Goldburn] says the rescue will begin Tuesday night.
And he hopes that by midnight at least one miner will be at the surface.
[Goldburn] says in total it will take 48 hours to get the men out.
And that's assuming that nothing goes wrong.
Upon reaching the surface, the men will be taken by a helicopter to Copiapo,
the nearest town that's about an hour's drive away through the Atacama desert.
The rescuers have gone to great ranks to ensure safety.
They know the operation is ***** with risks.
And there's no gurantee that everything goes smoothly.
The families of these men, [many of whom expend much of the last month camped out.]
[excited about being united with family] and anxious about the next 48 hours.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is *****?
I am not sure about the bracketed([]) sentenses.

***** is dickhead

I'm gonna drink Chilean beaujolais neuvo this year to

I can't find your video.

By the way, what, exactly, does ドキドキ mean in Japanese? I've seen it used to mean almost anything.

Heroes? Have they done anything heroic?

>>90
In case you cannot read Japanese well, I write what written in the page in English.

that said :
　　　　situation that your heart throb heavily with exercise, fear, surprise or expectation.

>>93
I see. Although I feel that I've seen it in other forms, but at the moment
I cannot find that example.

Another question then, when is the nakaguro used in Japanese (・)?
Is it like a comma (、)?

(・)is usually used for foreign words.
for example...アメリカン・カルチャー

イギリス人-san, could I ask you an additional question?

In the previous thread, we discussed the articles, and you mentioned that
'Dogs are a friendly aminal.' is not grammatically correct because dogs here are
plural and aminal is singluar.
However, I've seen a lot of sentences like the following:
'If science can discover that sunsets are a systematic illusion, it could also discover that conscious states such as pains are delusions too.'
Here, sunsets are plural, but followed by the singular 'a systematic illusion'.
Whereas, in 'pains are delusions' both 'pains' and 'delusions' are plural.
Do you happen to know why this is happening?

>>92
The 33 presumablly very stinky mahco guys withstood the heat and
humidity, without killing each other.
That's considered heroic enough.

Odin's story interests me a lot. I got more interested in mythology than

Raven is absolutely pest here in the developed areas, including urban areas.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkhUKRsDtW8 we can see raven in Shinjuku.
I wonder why british ravens are so gentle men.

Sorry for my poor English to make you misunderstand. The muscle man
is not Okazawa. He is Kanemura Takeyuki(Kim Gang Hong), old partner
of Okazawa. Okazawa and Kanemura started a teamer(a group of japanese street thugs)
callded " Shinjuku JACK'S", then became the member of "kanto alliance" which
is an alliance of japanase style biker gangs.
Then Kanemura became a submember of yamaguchi gumi yakuza and took care
of juniors of kanto alliance.
Kanemura was lynched by half a dozen masked men with metal baseball bats
in the street of nishishinjuku. He was killed. Major news papers
reported this incident.
http://livedoor.2.blogimg.jp/googleyoutube/imgs/6/a/6a6f490f.png
Okazawa is the man with black cap in the upper left corner. LOL
He says "i met for the first time in the fifth grader. I vied with
him on the way but we can all know now it's impossible by the picutures.
He is a big guy in many ways. I have seen his back more than my
dad's. I realise again that he is big indeed from the picture."

As for jojo, thank you. My question dissolved.
Do you think if a upper-clans child had been bullied and humilated by
lower-class childern, Would they have been punished by custom or law?

>>96
I'm not Igirisujin-san, but I'll try to answer that.
Honestly, I can't think of a firm reason as to why that is. You can say
"Dogs are friendly animals" or "The/A dog is a friendly animal", but
not "Dogs are a friendly animal" (at least not usually). However, you
can say "Sunsets are illusions" or "Sunsets are an illusion" but not
"The sunset is an illusion".
I think maybe it is because, for one, when you say "the dog" you can
mean either a specific dog or the species of animal that is dog.
As for "sunsets are an illusion", I am not entirely sure why that is.
Maybe it is like "The dogs are a family", where the plural "dogs" are units of the singular group "family"; so the "sunsets" are units of a
single "illusion".
That sentence that you are looking at >96 is very advanced. It reminds
me of the Architect from the film series "The Matrix".

Also, one of my friends who is studying Japanese was giving me examples
of kanji that make little sense unless read as a group, like 注文する,
which means "to place an order", but the kanji apart mean something
like "annotation-text". Is this supposed to make more sense?
What other kanji groups are there that are like that?

ホント？

Raven and pegeon are pests!
dust boxes changed into caged ones in my area.

bosozoku, japanese biker gang.

what is it with the gaijin groupies in here?

fuck alien g2 hell

Chi! Chi! Chi!
Lie! Lie! Lie!

>>109
注文 is called 二字熟語(two-character idiom), which we use them without considering as the kanji apart. There are many compounds(including 三字 and 四字熟語) which are like that.
Especially 二字熟語 is classified detailedly...

>>109
> like 注文する,
which means "to place an order", but the kanji apart mean something
like "annotation-text".

ahhh...you mean the kanji themselves, 注 as annotation and
文 as a literature. haha...hummm to my understandings, when you look up the dictionary, 注文 is;
文書。かきつけ。
「各々聞き書きの―に子細（しさい）を載せられたり」
so even in English, it means to place an order but in Japanese, culturally and historically,
in Edo period or even older time Japanese ppl used to place an order by sending handwriting documents
and 注　or 註also means the condition of what you want, therefore the kanji chuumon, 注文
these kanji, "write down the condition of what you need" was created....That's what I imagine.

Native English speakers often say "you, fuckin mother fucker!" when they curse others.
I know a little of what they intend by saying that.

As for me, that does not hurt my feeling at all.
Because we Japanese are not used to hearing such expressions.
So, when I heard that, I usually thought "Are you interested in incest?"

To make matters worse, in Japan, some Hentai Geeks (not me!) who adore Hentai games or Hentai books
are interested in such a relationship. Especially, they want to have such a relationship with their sister.

Therefore I don't think such a expression can really hurt or offend their feeling.
From foreigner's point of view, what do you think about my opinion?
Do you still want to use such a expression for us after you heard my view?

>>116-117
Ahh so there is a reason for it... but I guess I would need to know
some more of Japan's cultural history to really know that. I have much
to learn...

>>118
"Motherfucker" has little to do with the meaning of the term- to have
incestuous intercourse with your mother. It's like when I say "Jesus
Christ!" or "Oh my God!", but I am agnostic and do not believe in God
nor the significance of Jesus. It's a cultural thing.
I have noticed that many Japanese hentai otaku are fascinated by
incest- it's a pretty common theme in anime and manga and Japanese
games. So often you hear the female love interest call the main
character "onii-san", or sometimes the main character's sister will
flirt with her brother. (I know onii-san doesn't specifically mean
"brother", but it can and sometimes does.)
That kind of stuff you never ever see in American media; it's
kind of taboo.
I don't mind it but I don't find it fascinating either.

>>119
I see, I know your country has strict rule against child porn or such a relationship.
Those kind of things have became notable subject in Japan these days.

Like other countries people, we don't like being forced to refrain from expressing emotion.
I think freedom of speech and expression is important.
So without actual damage, I agree they express sexual descriptions such as incestuous relationship,
love toward a little girl and so forth in Hentai Games and Books.
They say such games and books encourage a sex crime. By using this theory, they insist on necessity of
the law that prohibit expressing those sexual things.

Yea, I know a sex crime is bad thing. It's fatal wound especially to children.
However no one prove whether those sexual expressions encourage a sex crime.
If such laws are established, I think that rather encourage a sex crime.

I just wanna r*** little girls! >_<

>>121
You can do that in Hentai game. But don't do that in real world.

>>121
Ah! A startling discovery about 名無しさん！

I completely agree. For example, in the US the legal drinking age (for
alcohol) is 21, but practically everyone younger than 21 drinks. In
fact, there have been arguments that lowering the drinking age would
reduce alcohol-related crime and accidents.
In the 1920's, the US government prohibited alcohol, and the result
was a huge increase in crime, so they had to repeal the law.
Maybe if the Japanese government bans any type of loli/shotacon porn
in both real and animated form, then child sex crimes may increase a lot, because lolicons and shotacons use the fake or animated media
as a way to cope with it.
What if all porn were banned? I think sexual assault and rape would be
everywhere (but the hand cream and tissue companies would be happy!)

>>123
Damn, it's hard to space my lines correctly. I always miss one.

>>123
I'm surprised that you knew the words "lolicons and shotacons".

so to speak, suck my dick motherfucker

test

>>125
I've spoken with Japanese people before about this topic. In the West
"lolicon" and "shotacon" only mean the type of pornography, not the
person. Sometimes on the internet people say "loli" which can mean
both.
Do a Google search for "pedobear" for an example of a loli on western
internet.
"Lolita" is more often used for real and not animated porn. I don't
think there's a word for real shotacon, as it is very very rare anyway.

I cant sleep well because of some question.
what is this damn reddy pu.. beans?

In Tower Record, I was impressed to Linkin Park's new album, A thousand
suns and bought it and all their albums has released before.
But I'm wondering about the new album. There are two editions, ordinary
edition containing "New divide(Live version)" and special edition having a
DVD of meeting of the album, instead of the song.
I do think Warner Music Japan should have added the song in special...
(Anyway, I chosed and bought a former).

Here a unrelated thing is, do you know Yoichi Watanabe?
He is a war cameraman and getting popular more and more
for his unique speaking way and character in Japanese TV
programs.Below are his pictures.

I have some questions.
This is an excerpt where Children's amazing language aquisition skill is discussed.

"By the age of three, the basics of sentence formation are in place and we find many
sentences worthy of an adult - I didn't know that one stands up that way, Does that one get
a button?, and so on. How does a child master the craft of sentence carpentry at such an early point?"

1) What does this "worthy of an adult" mean?

2) What does "- I didn't know that one stands up that way, Does that one get
a button?," mean? Are these two sentenses taken up as two example sentences three year old kids can say?
What does this button mean in this context?

Thank you.

>>69 I like Nishida Toshiyuki, he is a great actor.

Turtle-pear has a great build:

http://i51.tinypic.com/2ihuypz.jpg

Fans are not after "big muscles", they love elegance, lack of inhibition,
flexibility and above all an innocent cuteness.

In essence the child-like, energetic, naughty but innocent looking males
seem to attract them. Not enourmous body builders.

>>123 But nanashi-san sexual assault and rape IS
already everywhere!
If you think pornography breaks taboos, it is not true.
It establishes taboos in a hierarchical manner, it is more like a struggle
for power between gender, nations and different age groups.
It can condition you to behave toward a certain type of people in a certain sort of way.
It can easily encourage those who have oppressed sexuality to turn into violence.
If you want porn, make your own, and perhaps then you can understand the real function of the industry.

>>134
Come on, Nishida Toshiyuki can't be someone you hope you'll go out with.

Kame is less gread build than Korean actors and singer in general, although
I understand yuor point. Kame and Yama-P is in the category who like to
build threir mustles among other Johnney's boys but still Korean singers or actors
are bigger. I'm not saying Korean singer and actors are better. I make it clear I'm just
talking about physical characterisitcs just in case other people here
misunderstand I praise Korean actors or musicians.

I'm not interested in Korean show businees at all.

I believe Katsu Shintaro is by far the most fabulous actor in the world.

he is junky

In Japan, the situation regarding Hentai Geeks is quite different from what you said.
They adore 2-dimension animated characters and hate 3-dimension characters, what is called a ordinary human.
Some of them also like, so to speak, a ordinary human but generally they hate human girls because of their possessing
offensiveness or greediness and so on.
Hentai Geeks have hatred toward real women, so what you said is true in some points.

The point is that they are not interested human girls.
Therefore I don't think Hentai games and books lead to them to violate real girls

You said there is already sexual assault everywhere, yea that is true, but who cause such a crime is
usually different from Hentai geeks.
Even if there are not Hentai games and books, I think they (not hentai geeks) will commit a sex crime.

>>74
Actually... I got a bit carried away there and forgot what I was trying
to say in that reply, sorry. People here these days are in a position to
try and change their lives for the better, no matter what social class
they belong to. Everyone has the means to have a good education, though
some don't quite have the capacity or motivation to succeed. You're right,
though, part of what I said did imply that those who have a low social standing
have it easy. Thanks to that 'nanny state' system I was talking about, welfare
covers everyone's needs, from government-provided housing through to a bi-weekly
allowance to purchase food, drink, clothes, and whatever else (it's paid directly
into a bank account, so can't be limited to certain products, unfortunately). In doing
so, many people feel that they don't need to work and so leech off the taxpayer.
But to answer your question more directly, I think there's a line between being rich
and being upper-class. Back in the Victorian era when some working-class families
broke through the class barrier and were able to mingle with the 'established' upper-
class families, there was a lot of disdain. Not so much these days. Success is something
looked up at and encouraged, no matter what background one may have.

>>96
Having noticed this post yesterday while at work, I've tried to work out why this is.
Initially, I thought the same as nanashi, and it just hurt my head a lot. Then I tried
digging out my copies of Oxford English Grammar and English Usage, and they basically
said that the sentence structure was wrong (for sunsets/illusion), but was used pretty
often anyway. Gave a university level English teacher a call and we had quite a heated discussion
about it, as she initially said the sentence was correct, then when the 'dogs/animal' sentence
was brought up, she sternly said it was incorrect.

[continued...]

And then she had doubts about 'sunsets/
illusion' and concluded that that was incorrect too. I'll make sure to ask more people, just
in case.

>>108
Saw a crow today from the office window. It was just sitting on a branch about 10 metres from
where we were stood. A former colleague of mine from Poland was there too, and he has some
measure of respect for crows, though should have asked him what his views on them were.

Ah, sorry for misunderstanding! Now I see exactly what the situation was. I did a search on
Google for Okazawa, but the image results seemed to only bring up a lot of Hirosue as well
as a few of Kanemura, but not so many of Okazawa. Thought it was a bit suspicious how such a
small-sounding man could become so large in a pretty small amount of time, but now it's clear -
it wasn't him.

As for your question about JoJo, it all depends on his personality. If an upper-class person had
injured pride, then they might try and get retribution out of spite, or for revenge - so in that
case it would be possible. It's much more possible, too, for an upper-class member of society
at the time to get help from authorities, than it would have been for lower-class members of
society. The justice system was far from fair at the time.

>>132
"Worthy of an adult" means a sentence that someone would expect to come from an adult, or for
an adult to use at some point.
And yes, those are two examples of such sentences. As for the button, though, I'm not really
sure. Can't really think of a situation in which someone would give someone or something else
a button...

>>140
Hull!

>>147
Thank you very much for going so far as talking to an English language
expert! An English teacher in the UK says a lot in itself.

Regarding the plural and sigular thing, I've done some investigation myself, too,
and almost concluded that 'Dogs are an animal' is wrong because 'Dogs' are plular and 'animal' is
an concrete object, hence it needs to be plural to match the plurality of the subject (dogs).
Whereas, 'sunsets are a systematic illusion' is correct because 'illusion' is
an abstract concept rather than a concrete object.
But then, the latter part of the sentence says 'pains are delusions', where 'delusions' are
treated as an concrete objects rather than an abstract concept.
So I got really confused and had to go back to square one.

But based on your explanation, I think the best way is to go back to
the basics, that is, to use the 'plural-plural' or 'singular-singular' combinatinos only.
Thank again for taking your time to answer my neurotic question!

please suck my dick motherfucker
im no joke

Hey Japanese people...
I need a good Japanese horror story. I need it translated into English though.
Something traditional or popular in Japan.
It's for a project for school.

>>150

traditional japanese horror is maybe "Kindaichi" series

i dont know others in terms of "traditional"

but,
"Ring" or "Rasen" was a little bit popular and it was also produced in Hollywood too
that original book is very good and very scared to read.
but, movie is some cheap comparison to the original
but it is also scared too, and nice vibe
Nanako Matsushima is cool beauty.

please teach me grammary incollect for my english
thank you

maybe Ranpo Edogawa series is traditional horror
but it is a little bit obsolete and boring to translate
actually it is already transrated

I need a short story that I can memorise, and that won't take long to tell.

How about the 'Toire-no Hanako-san' series?
Or, better yet, 'Kuchisake Onna', mayby.

I think that "traditional" means "fairy tail" thing.
which is called "youkai" in Japan.
its famous as anime named "GeGeGe No Kitarou"

Yokai List

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_legendary_creatures_from_Japan

Yokai Nine tail is famous in anime Naruto.
its originaly Chinese Yokai.

Yokai has each story. you can pick some of them for translation.

Yokai is not scared

Japnese Taxi Horror Story is very scared
i recommend it

taxi driver pick up a woman who pretend to be a ghost
but the end, woman is very scared when she phone to taxi company・・・・・・
and she get to know that taxi driver was ・・・・・・

Ugh! I shudder at the memory.

>>150
Here is a real horror story in various meanings in spite of a very short story.
Let me talk it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title : The evil's cross. (In Japanese "Akuno jyuujika")

In the middle of night, a man lost his way and strayed into gloomy town.
Because it was such time, the man couldn't see anyone else in the town.
"What the hell! Where am I?", he was at a loss.
When he was strolling the town in his uneasy feeling, he felt the sense of being observed through the shop's windows.
He showed his courage and approached the windows.
There was the bear doll embracing a plate.
"there are something written with red ink on the plate." he said with his trembling voice.
After he looked closely at what the plate said, He involuntarily said that...
"Oh, Opening is 10 o'clock." (In Japanese "Akuno jyuujika")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How horrible and chilly this is!!
I cannot help chuckling.

>>160
that dosnt work with translation

Miminashi Hoichi (Hoichi the Earless)

>>160
I get it but it's not very scary to people who don't speak Japanese...

Those stories are pretty scary, but some are legends and I can't really use
them as stories. Miminashi Hoichi is too long.

If you know any other good short stories like >>160 please share them.

>>163
Where do you go to school?

Including what >162 is recommending,
a novel called "Kaidan" is a very famous and traditional
compilation of short Japanese horror stories, and this novel is
written by a native speaker of English.
So you can pick one of the srotires, summerize it and present in
front of class.

>>161,>>163
Oh my... I see.
Let me talk another one.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title : The startling fact.

There were two junior high school students who love each other.
One day, she said to him with her serious face, "I've been missing my period."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
This is a universal horror, isn't it?

あなたは私に勝つ。
You win me.

あなたは私に勝った。
You won me.

これっておかしな英語なの？

>>167
To "win" somebody means to make them fall in love with you.
You can say those but it is used rarely.
A better translation is "You beat me", which is both present and past tense.

>>165
Is that available on the internet?

>>166
I have to tell this to girls too. I don't think they would like that, but it is scary...

>>167

Your writing in Japanese is really good, even though the sentence contains several Chinese characters.
Every time I see your Japanese sentence, I feel some kind of surprising.

Let me proofread a little bit.

日本語で話すのはやめなさいよ！
ばかねぇ、、、。　このスレの名前は「英語で雑談」なのだから。

>>136 What makes you think that women like actors becuse they hope to go
out with them? That is so wrong.

What is wrong with males who have less build? If you think all women
are after muscles you are mistaken. Those who do should marry bodyguards.

>>197
「なのです」 is something that's been hard for me to understand.
I don't think there's anything similar in English.
Thank you for proofreading.
Do you mean 漢字 when you say Chinese characters? How does that go
against my good Japanese?
My IME converts them automatically when I press space. If you use
Windows you probably have the same IME.

>>196
You sound so much like a fag.
Let me guess, you're learning Japanese from Japanese girls?

>>199
Yea, you are right. that mean "漢字".
I don't think that any "漢字" in your sentences caused damage at all.

I know that is quite difficult to understand. I can't explain that properly, although I am Japanese.
So, Is there anybody who can explain "なのです" in porper way?

By the way, regarding to what >>200 said, I also feel that your Japanese sentences sound like spoken by girls.
Especially at the part of "やめなさいよ" and "ばかねぇ".
If the speaker is a boy, he may say, "やめろよ" and "ばかだな"
If you don't want to imply any gender, you can say "やめなさい" and "ばかだね"

I can't explicate those kind of thing due to having spongy brain as well as lacking writing skill in English.

Nothing is better than anime.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING A DUDE LIKE A LADY? SOME MEN ARE AFTER EFFIMINATE GUYS AS WELL AS MACHO MEN!!!

Here goes a horror story from me...

One day Ken was walking alone in the street in a town far away from his home.
It's getting dark. He felt really lonely and thought he has to go home now.

He saw a woman walking toward him. Even from a distance he could tell
that her face is extremely pale. He can't recognize what exactly it is,
but other than her face, he felt something is wrong with her.

The distance between him and her narrows as they both walk. He was nervous abuot
the distance getting narrow but he can't change his direction because he has to
go to the station to go back home.

The closer they get, the more he gets nervous. He wondered if everybody in the street feels
the same way as him about her, but it seems that nobody cares.
They get closer and closer. He didn't want an eye contact with her.

Riht before they pass each other, something strange came up in his mind.
He thought, "She must be a ghost or something...."

The moment she pass him, she whisperd to him, "Why do you know that?"

The last line should be "How do you know that?"
I don't know which is better.

The story gave me a chill. Pretty scary. At first I thought it sounded a little
bit similar to Kuchisake-Onna. The way suspense was gradually building up was

Cyberpunk anime is the best: Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, Serial Experiments Lain.

B awakens C and sleeps there.
C awakens D and sleeps there.

They do that every ten minutes for fear that they would freeze.

>>238 Silly men. They should have all cuddled together to minimise
area and preserve heat.

Paranoia Agent was also good, I am suprised noone likes the Cyberpunk anime
genre. But Ergo Proxy and Lain (with a killer ost by Boa) were superior in the plot sense.

hi,
i am in mcdonald now so for preparing to take a test in ten days.

>>236 >>238
Ah.... Thanks. Now I understand what it means.

But All D has to do is just walk to the corner where A was sleeping
and then turn right and go to the corner where A is now sleeping.
Even if it's dark, you can walk touching the wall so D can go to the
place A is sleeping. Maybe I'm a wetblanket.

But this story means even if D and the rest didn't walk that way,
they all surived so the story means another person (ghost) was in the lodge...

Did you recognize that there's another person(ghost or something) in the lodge first time
you read the story?

It is very cold in my room despite the central heating.
It has been raining cats and dogs outside.
English weather is so humid, it makes you rot like a vegetable.

>>250
No problem at all. you are already rotten.

>>251 I think it is your perception that is rotten. Let me throw you in the
green recyclables bin.

>>252
I'm glad to hear that.
Shall we get in the bin together? and let's have a good time.

>>253 You get in first. I will wheel you down the street and dump you in the river.
You will be food for eels.

>>254
No, no, no. that's impossible.
Because I and eels are good friends.

So, come on! join us. our river party.
Don't forget to bring your swim suits or you will definitely introduce your body into the community of the fishes.

>>255 You must be joking. It is 8 degrees Celsius outside.
The river might freeze overnight.
You can go in and catch pneumonia.
I will not be held responsible if you do.

just kidding...

If we can instantly transport ourselves to Australia,
we can all go surfing. I think I will imagine that as I
drift to sleep.

>>239
At first they tried that, but they got drowsy. So they started to dread that all of them fell asleep.

Although I'll take an exam of EIKEN of pre1 grade tomorrow,
I'm not enough to study hard for it...(Sigh)

>>260
At least you are trying to write something everyday here on this thread,
which means something. If you try to improve and do something, then
you do improve. You will be fine with Pre-Grade 1.

>>260
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence that you tried.

thats it!

So no more scary stories?
I'll take anything that I can say in public, and takes less than 5
minutes to say. It can be 2 lines if it's scary.
I want as many as possible.

まず言葉で落としてくれる？

その他こっちでやるから

>>261 and >>262
Thank you for encouraging me! I'll do my best.

By the way, one thing I wanna say. That is about
Japan Democratic Party's politician, Ryoko Tani's
retirement from Judo world.
I do wanna say to her" Why didn't you notice that
it must be so hard, if you take 3 parts, caring for
your child, politician, and Judo expert before you
stand for the election?"

just try be honest?

Tani's father was Yakuza. he quit because she got enough money to feed the family.

are you sure?

>>260
I bet you will pass EIKEN.
Because your English is better than mine(I have EIKEN pre-first grade).

Why do many people want to pass or obtain Eiken 1st grade?
Eiken is valid only in Japan.

Is TOEIC international?

usualy Yakuza can't quit. if the one tried it, the one will be killed. or lost his finger.
but Tani was famous already. so he paid 2 million yen to Yakuza. then quit.

Too little money even for a finger...

I'm practicing English listening.
I'm not sure about bracketed words.
Could you enlighten me?
Thanks

This is All Things Considered from NPR news.
I'm Lisa Bloc.
and I'm Mary *******.
The fedreal government has lifted a moratorium on offshore drilling in the gulf of Mexico.
Under pressure from the oil industry and its allies along the gulf coast,
the Obama administration says it will end the ban seven weeks early.
The moratorium is put in place after BP's deep water horizon drilling rig exploded this past April,
killing 11 people and creating a massive oil spill.
As NPR Jeff Breedy reports, the White House insists new rules have been put in place to
prevent a similar accident in the future.
The decision to end the moratorium was at the secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar
during the conference call today.
He said those rules designed to improve safety and protecting environment made it possible
to end the ban.

We are building [the goal] standard for offshore oil and gas regulation.
with the goal of ensuring our nations energy is produced as safely and environmentally responsible as possible.

The new rules were announced last month, one sets new standards for equipment
saying it must be inspected and certified by an independent engineer [that] include standards
for blowout preventors like the one that failed on BP's well.
A second rule requires companies to develop comprehensive workplace safety plans.
The goal is to reduce human errors that were the cause of many accidents and spills.
Salazar says that new requirements also place more resposibility on an oil company's leader. (cont.)

>>275
(continued)
Before the operator can begin the drilling deep water,
its CEO must certify that the rig has complied with all new and existing rules.

The oil industry responded to the news today just as you might expected.
**** Dewer as a senior economic advisor with the American petroleum institute.

[--- do what it takes --- follow papers --- inspections already.]

There are still concerns within the oil industries
that may take months for any new drilling to actually take place.
That's because the bureau of ocean energy management
the agency created in recent months to regulate drillers is still hiring more inspectors.
Oil industry advisor Dewer says it's disappointing to hear that
the government predicts it could take another month or more to issue new drilling permits.

Because the last thing we want is [defact] the moratoria
while you have backlog of proccesing [in] proof or permits.
So we are concerned about that. That [will] be able to move forward as fast as possible.

Environmental groups were quick to critisize the decision to lift the moratorium.
Sara Chases with the natural resources defence counsel says that
the new rules the Obama administration is putting in place are [] improvement
but she says more work needs to be done.

The better course would be to maintain the moratorium
until the coast guard and the interor investgations are complete.
The president and [comissioned] had issued its report
and also the natonal academy of engineering report
which I understand is due by the end of October.

>>276
(continued)

The administration says its overhaul of offshore drilling regulations is not completed.
and that those forthcoming reports could lead to more changes.
but it was clear the white house faced plenty of pressure to lift the ban,
even from within the president's own party.
The Louisianna senator Mary Andrew has placed a hold on president Obama's nomination
of Jack Loo to head the white house budget offce.
Today the senator Andrew says she would not lift that hold until she sees evidence
that the drilling has actually resumed in the Gulf of Mexico.

＞＞275-277
What the heck are you doing here?
Who is responsible for having fed responses to this jerk for several times?

>>275
I'd help you but I am way too tired.

So no more scary stories? I only have like 2 or so, and they're short...

>>278
Nobody is responsible, you dork.

>>279
Your scary story begging is getting annoying.

Ditto.

Clearly you all are unable to meet my demands... how culturally depraved...

Ah well. On another note, how do I view old archived threads on here?

>>284
I'm joking! Don't think I'd be that condescending...
If you give me a scary story and your alias, I'll credit you if
I tell it. How's that?

>>286
Are you not going to use someone here's idea and pretend that it is your own, are you?

>>287
Well this is an anonymous board, so I couldn't credit somebody. But
I will say that "X-san" told me the story when I tell it, where X is
whatever name you give yourself.
Then I can tell everyone here how it went. And if your name is
an innuendo, the Japanese people there will probably get angry at
me and I know you'd all like to hear about that.

>>288
I cannot imagine you could do that.
You would be identified by ２ちゃん.

What a shame!

Or, no shame to it?

Shut your stinkin' mouth and post some scary story, you buttcuddlers.

Are they just condescending or trying to be polite?
I cannot even close to the level they can understand me without any
difficulties. It's their mother tongue, while it's not. I started
learning it way after I passed the critical time. They should know
I gave up lots of time in order to learn the language when they didn't
have to do it at all and enjoy their youth!
I resent it when they don't appreciate their luck that they don't
have to do this trouble and say, 'sorry?' smiling, when they don't
understand what I'm talking about in THEIR language!

i can assure u that everything will turn out fine.

A boy was running in a street. He passed by a crumbling house.
He sensed the smell of a pie. He turned around. The house was covered with vines, was long abandaned.
The boy looked into the house. Suddenly, he remembered hunger, hurried again toward the home.

In the past day, the house was inhabited by a couple.
One stormy night, they met in a street. In the storm, they have lost their houses.
Through the night they kept walking, finally they found a vacant small house.
The house was wild, the roof was leaky, but they smiled each other.
Inside of the house was strangely warm. Soon they started to live in the house.
In the first year, they patched the house every week. They started to bake a pie every sunday.
He keeps commenting on the taste of the pie durind the week, and always smiled in the end.
They didn't know each other a lot, have talked few, but the house was warm. Years went by.

Neighboring their house, there were a large house.
The house was covered with vines. In its yard, there were a tree bearing many pears.
When autumn came, their sunday pie became savory.
The back door of the house was always opened. They never saw lights lit in the next house.
Oddly enough, soon after their small house became shiny.

One another stormy night, the couple was in their house, squated down at the fireplace,
They remembered the day they first met.
Suddenly the door opened. All lights in the room went off.
Lights in the next house illuminated the house.
Robed visitors came into the house.
A visitor stroked a sheet, it read his signiture on it.
He looked back to her, and said. "My dear, if I didn't first, how can I believe you didn't instead? look how we lived so far!"

Sunday came again. In the kitchen, there were lumps of dried meat hanged from the ceiling, removed all blood.
He started to bake a meat pie.

I have tried... What a difficult.
It is something biased too, I wanted to express that life like that likely to ends up like that.
The woman must be morally suspicious too, but I think most people has own code or at least a line. They couldn't share or even understand their line each other.

>>307
I'm sorry,
I wondered if it is she who is going to eat a last pie now, no matter what cause I may insist. Scary story.

　　　Good morning nymphets.

He is a college student, from my shaky memory.

A short time ago, the test of EIKEN of pre1-grade is over.
I hope I will pass it...

>>316 Thank you.
>>318 Yes, you're right. I'm a college student.

I have two questions.
The questions below is something you have to answer when you apply for
funding of venture capital company. (It's not I'm applying for it.)

Regarding the first sentense, what does "it" in the first sentense mean? Does it mean "your business"?
What does the sentense mean? I don't understand what "get" means in this
sentense.

Regarding the second sentense, is it a joke or something?
Would you explain what it mean? I think I know what "hack" means
in computer related term but here, it says "(non-computer)" so
I'm wondering what the sentense means. Thank you.

・What do you understand about your business that other companies in it just don't get?

・Please tell us about the time you most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage.

its like a jungle sometimes it make me wonder how keep from going under

This is not a Q-and-A board.
If you want to, find another appropriate site.

>>322
Q&A is a part of chatting, and I want to ask this question
to native English speakers. There used to be a thread where you can
ask a question to native English speakers but it's gone now. So let me
ask a question to them here.

Thank you.

>>323
How KY are you?
Take the appropriate time to ask for...not now.

KY or not...

>>320
Yes, "it" means your business. To "get" in that sentence means to understand or to know.
The second sentence is vague. It most likely means to tell about
some time when you were able to bend the rules of something or find
a "loophole" in order to do something more easily.
I don't know why they would ask you #2, it's a strange question.

>>312
Thanks! But I had a few questions...
>>Oddly enough, soon after their small house became shiny.
What does "shiny" mean there?
>>A visitor stroked a sheet, it read his signature on it.
>>He looked back to her, and said. "My dear, if I didn't first, how can I believe you didn't instead? look how we lived so far!"
Could you explain these lines to me?

Looks like a great story! Please answer those for me and I'll surely
tell it.

>>323
You can create new thread for that sort of things.
Why don't you do that?
As >>322 said, here is not a place to ask.
This place is full of beggars.

>>325
You are absolutely "kuuki yomenai".

>>319
Is this your first time to take the test?

>>325
Thanks!

The venture capital funds IT related companies. I think sometimes it's good
to be away from computer-reated things to ask.
Maybe they want to fund self starters or go-getters.
I don't know but their point might be, to accomplish your goal sometimes you have to bend rules or something...

Works with any 2ch thread, just need to paste the URL in here...

>>346
>Not really very useful

Thanks for reminding me that "Noriaki" "COOL TAKU" and "Slim Shady" hasn't been mentioned here.
Or maybe they were because words mentioned less than 10 times aren't listed there.
I don't know how much time and efforts it took to make that, but
I'll say Good Job to you.

If everybody used handle name here, the list would be more fun.
Who posts how many times would be interesting to see if everybody used
handle name.

>>349 I wouldn't encourage it. Otherwise
Slim Shady in all of us would make us use others' handles.
This thread would not qualify as a 2ch thread.
We must have some sort of pure anonymity.

>>346
lol i'm 8% of the thread... sad

>>350
>Slim Shady in all of us would make us use others' handles.
haha! Maybe you're right. Slim Shady in all of us never stops us from doing evil things.
That's enevitable part of us human being.

This thread is kind of special and being able to distinguish Japanse English learners
and people from overseas(Native English speakers and very fluent speakers of
English as a second language) benefits us English learners.

Some 2ch threads in other boards require you to use fixed handle name,
so using a handle name doesn't necessarily mean lacks of 2ch flavor.

>>351
Why sad?
Does that because the more you post, more it goes to show that you are wasting time in your life? w

Actually, you eat my pussy

Same thing goes to you and me. But in my case, I want to visit here sometimes
to study English. So each person's motive is different.

NEET can sleep long time, i envy u

>>350
Some Japanese in this thread have good writing skill.
So they can disguise themselves as some of you.
Even if you use trip code, it cannot prevent them from doing that.
Because this server hasn't ID system while other 2ch servers have it.

On the other hand, fortunately, their English writing skill and knowledge are not equivalent to those of native speakers.
In addition to that, you can still reduce possibility of those unpleasant situations by using trip code.

Therefore I strongly recommend you to use trip code if you want to keep your identity.

I have to say that using trip code is quite common to the people who has own handle.
Even if you use trip code with your handle, we cannot know who you are in real world.

Or, do you still want to keep loophole in your making a slip of the tongue, Huh?

I can identify anyone here who isn't a native English speaker if they
say a few sentences.
Most of you speak very well and are understandable but make a lot of
similar errors. That's how I can tell.
But I hope you can all improve! That's what you're here for, and I'm
here for.

ass of a bitch

>>361
You are right.

However some Japanese can't distinguish native English speakers from others.
What is more, it's hard to distinguish when there are only a few sentences without error.

When someone who is disguised as you say something bad with malice in such a situation, what do you do?

lick my anus

>>363
If you don't like that, don't browse 2ch.

>>365
It seems you misunderstood my intention.
Personally, I don't mind at all.
Can you figure out what I want to say?

>>363
I don't care if someone impersonates me, I'm not trying to make a name
for myself (I am nanashi, after all). The only reason I go by a name
is, again, so people know I speak English natively, which is something
people here might want to know.
If a Japanese person impersonates me and says something silly like
>362 then I don't think that would be a problem. If a Japanese person
tries erroneously to correct English grammar under my name, well, I
would find that funny, and then correct them.

go to hell fucking asshole lol

>>367
So you don't mind at all even if I impersonate you, like this
"I have to go, I can't come here any longer."

Of course, this imply that The person who has name "nanashi" is not me (I mean not you) from now on.
Some people will begin to think that someone else impersonated you after I said that.
Needless to say that there are many other possibilities.

However If you don't think those kind of things are problems, it's no problem at all.
Enjoy yourself.

shut fuck up nigga

>>370
I'm Japanese, thus you are completely wrong. lol

suck your poppa's pussy asshole

In case you don't know about trip code, I explain what trip code is and how to use trip code, especially for foreigners.

What is the trip?
　　The trip code system is simplified system to identify your identity.
　　The trip code is encrypted character string that is generated from the password that you input.

How to use the trip?
　　1. You must decide your own password. (e.g. 0123456789AB) *1 *2 *3
　　2. Put your name in name column as usual, then put "#" after your name. (e.g. Jone Doe#) This is crucial. *4
　　3. Put your password after "#". (e.g. Jone Doe#0123456789AB)
　　4. Post your message as usual.

If you did those procedures correctly, your name is displayed with your trip code after posting.
　　(When you used example password, The name is displayed as "Jone Doe◆tqoLqtqG1LLg".)
The "◆" is mark of trip code. We can identify you by looking at your trip.

This explanation is facilitated to understand easily. For further details, please refer to related web site.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
　　*1 To avoid being cracked, I strongly recommend you to use long password that has 12 bytes length at least.
　　*2 The password should be unpredictable. In other cases, the password will be easily cracked.
　　*3 You can use 2 byte characters as well as alphabet and number for your password.
　　*4 If you forget to put "#", you will disclose your password to everyone. It means you can't use the password any longer.

>>372
Wow, that one sparks the imagination.

Hey, anyone know where the phrase 『マイペース』came from? I hear it
a lot in Japanese.

at one's(MY) own PACE, I think.

>>373
like this?

>>375
I know what it means, but where did it come from?

by the way,
this will be my actual tripcode.
there! now no more impersonation troubles.

>>376
>like this?
Yep.
However I can't identify whether >>377 is >>376 or not.
This server has not another ID system as I mentioned before, so it's hard to know you are >>377 or not.
Therefore you should not change your password unless you met the situation that oblige you to do that.


Regarding your question...
Because the Japanese are full of stupidity in using English words, they tend to use word "マイ" to describe their own things.
There are some similar things, like "My car".

>>378
I've heard 『マイペース』to describe people lol. Like, "that person
is very 『マイペース』." How odd.

You want me to prove that I am me? Hm...
Did you know subjunctive exists in English? It's in words like "I wish
I were..." or "If only he were..." instead of "I wish I am..." or "If
only he is..."
It's been almost totally lost though, and many natives now say "I wish
I was..." or "If only he was..." instead, equating the subjunctive
with the past tense. How sad.

>>379
I don't want you to prove that.
It's a mere piece of advice.

I know subjunctive sentence but have difficulty using subjunctive.
Because there are few opportunity to use subjunctive sentence in everyday conversation.

If I were wealthy, I could invite you to Japan.

Ahhhh, I should have said "I don't demand to prove that".

>>381
Nah, "I don't want you to prove that" works better.

Heh, if you win the lottery, send me an e-mail!
Unfortunately because of anonymity, you must address it to "sage".

I might come to Japan this summer. I hope so. I've never been there.

Question for you all before I go to bed:
I have a friend whose surname is German and likes to write it
『暗いの変ぞ』. In katakana it's 『クラインヘンズ』. Does his version
work? Or is there a better way to write his name in kanji?
I know the reading is different but he likes to be liberal.
I am eager to share with him my findings.

>>327
No, I've taken the test twice. In first time, I couldn't
pass it because of my non-enough study English.
But, I do think this test's score of mine can be enough
to pass. Yes, I do...

>>383
Then, when do you receive the result?
I suppose you will pass the test as you do have such confidence.

>>383
Good luck (if you need it, anyway).
What do you hope to do with your qualification once you achieve it?

>>384
According to the official website of EIKEN, it is after about 2weeks.

Next Monday, I'll do a presentation of storytelling to class
in university.
So, here my original story will be shown in the day is.

This is a story about the truth of an insect freak boy, Tsuyoshi's
pet, crickets.
One autumn day, an insect freak boy, Tsuyoshi found two insects.
These were crickets. At sight of him, they were so cute and lovely.
So, he decided to caught and keep them in an insect cage. He gave
some food to them and was pleased with their growing day by day.

However, he realized the terrible truth of them when his friend, Kenji
came to his house. Tsuyoshi told him about his lovely crickets. And
then Kenji asked him a question,"Where did you get the crickets?",
"Ah, I found them at kitchen in my house." he replyed, "Ki-, kitchen?
Well..., I do think they aren't crickets, just cockroaches..." Kenji said,
suddenly his face became so blue and he looked at the insect cage
and screamed. Because there were full of cockroaches, so ugly and
disgusting. In result of that, he died of shock.

The moral of this story is "At first, confirm and notice what it is".

That's all(haha). What do you think about my original(nonsense)story?
Please give me a comment, if you wanna write it.

>>385
I hope to be a translator with it in the future. I have
the dream since I was a junior-high scool student.
Thank you.

arsehole

kiss my dickhead

i am very sleepy

Hmm... guess if I ever use a tripcode, it'd be something like this one.

>>386
I have a relative who has a phobia of cockroaches, so can sort of understand
that story. I've only ever seen one cockroach in real life though, the last
time I visited southern USA. Perhaps the story could also be used as an
analogy for love and relationships. Ones that don't turn out right, anyway...

I have a friend who's a translator and he finds it pretty rewarding and
enjoyable, as he gets to work with all sorts of people. I hope your plans
work out.

>>391
>as he gets to work with all sorts of people.

Is that really the case? In case of freelance, a translator' job is very
loney confined to your own room, tapping keyborad, which some people like
working in such a working condition. All they do is just waiting for email
from translation agency asking them to do a job. If you decided to take the job,
all youd do is just doing what I mentioned above.

Maybe he's a in-house interpreter? If that's the case, though, translator's
job is basically very lonely, tapping keyborad, watching the monitor, doing
researches on their own.

Well, but, say, translation of a video game or something by multiple in-house translaters,
that could be fun, exchanging opinions with other translaters about which
terms or expressions would be appropriate or not in this contexr and what not....

In addition to >>373, I also explain how to change your password without any problem.

Notice : This method is valid only when no one knows your old password.

How to change passwoad?
　　1. Create your new password as you did before.

However, it will take a huge amount of time until you obtain favorite one.



>>391
You have a good trip code. You used some tools to obtain that, didn't you?
I don't think you can get your trip code unless you depend on trip code tools.

>>393

>>394
Pardon?
If you want to say I'm a gaijin groupie, I have to say "No".

I couldn't understand what hacking meant.
My father was looking for general system hacker for a long time.
His hackers always suffer some neurosis and resigns in several years.
Once he found a hacker gifted for mathmatics. They also said he was reliable and nice person.
About 5 years later the hacker converted company's property on illegal gambling and committed suicide.
I imegene it is exhausting work.
Father's company is not big and they use same language, still I never thought I could do hacking.

>>398
Thanks for sharing the story.

>>397
You don't seem like living an aristocratic life, though.

I'm sorry for it is not good story.
To say quite honestly father thought I should be otherwise.
He keeps me live and when he feels tired he comes to his daughter, and feels tired more.
I'm not sure it worked well but I could imagene the way.

shut fuck up fucking dyke

>>325
Thank you for reading. I'm sorry for being late.
It must be shameful story, please don't be bothered to tell.

>>>Oddly enough, soon after their small house became shiny.
>What does "shiny" mean there?

I thought shining house could be both embarrassing or fun to live. I imagened the roguish couple would spend like that.

>>>A visitor stroked a sheet, it read his signature on it.
>>>He looked back to her, and said. "My dear, if I didn't first, how can I believe you didn't instead? look how we lived so far!"
>Could you explain these lines to me?

First someone entered the yard and stole fruits.
Next someone trespassed into the house.
At last someone was cought in the house or just agreed the contract.
They might have done it without ill intentions first and results was not serious.
This time the contract was about their life.
If he didn't agree first, they could go to his lover, then if she agreed it, he loses blood.
There could have been ways to avoid the fatal choice if they have lived trustworthy.
At last he said their life was not trustworthy but they could have cherished it too.
I couldn't discribe it in the story. Also it is biased. It is shameful.

Another hour wasted. More statistics, if anyone's interested. This time
it's thread activity by posts per hour for this thread.

This data is more interesting than the others as for me.

Never imagined 12:00pm is the busiest time of this thread.

OK- this is my final trip key I swear.
Next post...

OK this is my final trip.
I like this one.

I see trip users are always like that...
I didn't use trip at all.

>>410
Why do you put in a name?
You are a nobody.
If you want to be acknowledged so badly, why don't you put in your real name.

Hi everyone

>>411
I thought your real name was 名無しさん＠英語勉強中 first.
There were many things I don't know in internet.

If you care names, you should live in real.
I understand people like to forget real in 2ch. I hope it was worth your recreation.

Hello, Japan!
I want to welcome you to a new website called World5Ch.net!
It is just like World2Ch. It is very new, so there is only two boards.
English is encouraged, but Japanese accepted, too.
Thanks and have fun at the site!

Hi, everyone. I'm gonna write a nonsense post again(self-scorn).

I've got an original nonsense gag lately. That is a parody song of
"Ore wa Gyaian-sama da!(in Eng, I am the king of kids,Gyaian!)",
used in Japan's popular and famous animation program, Doraemon
a long time ago(the song isn't used in Doraemon today). And here
the information of the character for foreigners don't know the ani-
mation is. Gyaian is nickname of Takeshi Gouda, the nickname is
derived from his young sister, Gyaiko's brother. Namely, his"Gyai"
is Gyai of her and his"an" is an of ancyan(it means old brother in
Japanse slag), not from the English word"Giant".
Below the movie he sings the song is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2QmauZnHPM
The gag uses the one phrase,"Ore wa Gaian gaki-daisyo〜♪
(in English, I am Gaian, king of kids)".

Now, I'm gonna show you the gag used the song.

"Ore wa Janis Ian Love is blind〜♪"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hc7bJm8wOI

Not so good? if so, I'll be so blue...orz

Oh, one more movie I wanna show you. it's a related movie with
her. Nana Hoshi, Japanese female impressionist, imitating of her
in a TV program. I think her imitation is so good. So, let's watch
and enjoy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeMbKpXHT1U

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lJKy3OGJE8

The first time I saw this I was amazed.

>>423
Huh? Such things often happen in Japan.
What did you expect? Pussy talks?
Then, I would be amazed.

A voice actor is well known occupation in Japan, because of popularity of animation.
There are many geeks in Japan who love voice actor.
We call them "seiyuu otaku". Seiyuu means a voice actor in English, and "Otaku" means, as you know, Geek.
Due to the popularity of voice actor, especially, of voice actress, animation industry of Japan has been idolizing them.
As a result of that, We have several occasions of seeing them in books, TV and so on.

Recently, in addition to the voice, the appearance came to be evaluated too as well as an idol.
So, they sing a song, sell their own music CD, publish photograph collection, etc.
What I really disgust is that they sing a song even though they are not good at singing.
This is what is called shitty commercialism.
However, while most of them don't have capability to sing well, some of them have brilliant skill
as much as professional singer.
If you are interested in those things, you can check it at Youtube.

Although I know a little bit about them, I am still amazed by the gap between their voice and their appearance.

Oops, the part of "as well as" and "as much as" are quite odd.
How awful my writing skill is.... ('A`)

salary of talented people in japan is cheapest in this world.
one of most famous voice actor said that she can't live with present salary.
japanese high tech is same. salary of engeener in japanese company is cheaper
than other job in same company.
there are many boring TV shows. no talent. even they are not japanese.
they would get millions of yen per month? rediculaus.

>>422

I thought basically, as long as they continue such roguish life they had to pay for that shining house ultimately.
Or they were roguish they could have dodged, but they couldn't for their roguish life.
So I understood the end as it is.
But I couldn't understand one thing, too.
It seems she is sipping a tea after that.

>>405
Thanks, but I'd say it's simple rather than pretty. It has to be easy
to read in order to test its functionality. Making it look nicer comes
later in the workflow.

>>423
Argh... Sanma... what amazes me the most are people who can put up with him
for more than a minute.

>>392
He does freelance, but in all sorts of translation jobs. It's true that
most of the time it's a case of translating in court cases, which he
doesn't find that interesting, but sometimes he has to act as an interpreter
if foreigners who aren't comfortable with the language come to visit other
companies. Sometimes it's a case of actually translating speech on the go,
sometimes he just has to translate notes and paperwork. I suppose if you
enjoy the challenge of languages, it's a good calling.

Aaand... finally added some more functionality to the thread activity charts.
Now it lists all threads on this board and displays very basic stats for any
which are clicked. It takes a couple seconds for the data to connect, so please
be patient. I'll add some more functions to it tomorrow, such as average posts
per day, as that gives better context to the speed at which a thread moves.

Hi guys! testing my english and japanese knowledge at the same time...
Im from Chile by the way... yeah, the country of the 33 miners www

>>441
You must be fluent in Japanese, because you used www.

>>442

Im studying Japanese in my country, im at third grade right now... but im still need a lot of practice.

I can read hiragana and katakana perfectly, but Kanji is another thing... i guess im know like, 60?

www is like "LOL" and is pretty popular in Nico Douga who i watch some videos, but oh well, i guess im your average gaijin who wants to know more.

I have a question. What does "pay-for-print" mean? The context is below.
Thank you.

”What's the journal's acceptance rate?:
Can you afford rejection?
Are pay-for-print journals an options?”

world wide web

>>441
The miners must have smelled badly when they came back to the ground
after spending two months withiut taking a bath.
Any news reports about their smell?

I heard after they came back, they were all hospitalized and got medical check.
Until they get out of hospital, they don't take a bath, do they?
Nurses and doctors must be really annoyed by their smell.

>>446

As far as i know, everyone take a bath and they even get some showers inside the mine.

When they were contacted they got water from a new external tube.

So, i never head of bad smells... even when they were rescued.

Ah, never heard about "pay-for-print" by the way, sounds like a library service.

maybe. pay for print means "costs for paper"
we often talk about money of printing when we may choose printer for PC.

>>447
Oh, really? I didn't know that they could take a shower 700m under the ground.
I thought they can't take a bath until they get medical check so
at least they can't take a bath a few days after they were hospitalized.

Some wives and kids asked President to send back their husband/father
to deep underground because they hate him? Any news report about that?

>>450

The miners always have water in the emergency bunker of the mine
it was the real reason why they survived.

About your second question, funny enough there is one of the miners who got 3 lovers
one of them is even pregnant... and its now the most talked thing on TV gossip shows.

hi nice to meet you

im mika.
i want to talk with many people who are able to be speak english by chat.
and im usually go to this chat room.
i want to make friend and learn english while enjoying.

Pregnant?
The 25-year-old one?

I wonder why that guy is that popular.

>>451
>The miners always have water in the emergency bunker of the mine

Oh, is that right? I didn't know that.

Oh, yeah, I think I've heard of the guy. His lovers and wife are quarreling
on the gorund or something. The number of miners were more than 30 so
one or a few of them must have an intersting story/background...

>>453
>>454

The name of that guy is Yonni Barrios, who is a veeeery strange name here.

And yeah... some one them are making noise from really stupid things
like Mario (the first miner who was rescued) who swimming naked in a beach
when he was interviewed by ABC News.

His nickname is "Super Mario", like the Nintendo character.

>>455
You must be super elite in Chile, being able to speak English.

Not so many househoulds have internet connection in your country, right?
Like people in Andes mountains. Living with Alpaka.

>>456
thats stereotype

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edqajmvuPW0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGpfDjRZdgU&feature=related

Thanks to these CM, Alpaka got very popular in Japan.

>>456

Honestly here in Santiago (our capital) 80% of the population got broadband internet
The problem is outside this region... Chile is a very "central" country, sadly
at least we are an stable and prosperous nation, like Argentina and Brazil.

Alpakas are found more easily in Argentina, i guess... very funny CM by the way!

I live just a few kilometers of the Andes mountains by the way, is very beautiful here!

>>459
Thanks for sharing the information.
Your capital's broadband rate is a lot higher than I imagined.

You live in good environment.

>>459

"You live in good environment."

Well, thats depends of the side you can view that, a lot of poor people got things
like broadband internet, HDTV, good PCs , and things like that because there is a
lot of black marketfor those things... but still.

>>461
At least you live in a place rich in nature.
Do indigenous people live in your neighborhood?

>>462

No, is very hard to find indigenous people here, you can find Mapuche people
in the south of the country, but in Santiago is hard.

Does Japan have mountains? sorry for my stupid question but i always heard about
mount Fuji and thats it, nothing more, and to my eyes mount Fuji is very small (but pretty).

>>463
You said you live only a few kilometers away from Andes, so I thought
indigenous people live in your neighborhood.

If I remember correctly, 70% of total Japanese land is mountains.
Mt. Fuji stands alone so that's why it look small to your eyes, maybe.

There're high mountain rainges, series of mountain in Japan, too.
http://tomodent.blog.bbiq.jp/photos/uncategorized/2009/05/13/photo_2.jpg

Probably they are much smaller scale compare to Andes, though.

http://www.alpen-route.com/image/movie/index.html

If you click the images you can watch movies.
If you're interested, check them out.

I said 70% of Japanese land is mountain but not so high mountains as
shown in >>464 and in the the movies. >>464 and these movies are the
very high mountain ranges in Japan. They are kind of exceptions.

Gotta go now. See you later, adios amigo.

Thanks a lot for your information!! maybe i make my question bad, i already know
that Japan is mostly "mountains" but i count those mountains as "hills" because of
his size, i guess living in the Andes has affected me www

And no, Andes doesnt always means that there is indigenous people, there is a large
space who is just mountains... and not more than that.

Muchas gracias!

>>467
Ah ¡bienvenidos Sr. Chileno! Me pregunto si hay mucha gente en Japón
que quiere hablar en español. Sé que es bastante fácil aprender
español en los EEUU gracias a los numerosos inmigrantes (y es por
eso que hablo español ahora) pero en Japón es casi totalmente Japoneses.
Los inmigrantes son solamente coreanos, o americanos o algo así.
Es verdad que japonés es muchííííísimo más difícil que inglés. Pero,
sospecho que esto es obvio, ¿no?

I watched the miners as they were pulled out. I was happy for them.

Hello nanashi (nanashi is "no name" right?)

Yes, Japanese is pretty much hard than English, but also i find Spanish a very
hard language... dont you think?

(Sorry if i didnt respond in Spanish, but this is the "english chat" 2ch room...
gracias por tu bienvenida!)

I need to sleep by the way, thanks a lot for the good time guys! (*≧▽≦)オハツでっす

>>469-470
Yes, nanashi is the romanisation of 名無し.

Spanish is pretty easy to me, being a native English speaker. The only
difficult parts were the genders (sometimes) and the huge number of
verb conjugations.
If you want a hard language to master- English. It's not -that- bad
learning to speak it, but being as fluent as a native is extremely
difficult, because the language is constantly changing. Also the
vocabulary of English is (I believe) bigger than that of any other
language.

Why don't you join us at here if you want to have a chat in English, Huh?
Or if you want to have a real time chat, you should join in some IRC channels.

Speaking of IRC, There are some 2ch IRC servers, if my memory is correct.
Does anyone know if there is the channel that is like this thread in those 2ch servers?
Well, I'm not eligible to join in IRC because it takes a lot of time for me to write English sentence
but I know this is the one of ways to improve writing skill.
When we have a conversation in some games or chat, we are called for quick response.

Then that bring up a question to me.
Which is the better way to improve writing skill? - to write quickly even though some collocation errors
exist or to write carefully to reduce those errors.
What do you think?

Don't think. Feel!

>>474
No, no, no I recommended 塵 because it sounds like Chile in Japanese. ^^

As you know, we usually use "塵" for describing dust.

considering that 塵 can be read as ちり i guess he is not lying ww

>>482
What a active person you are!
Thank you for checking that.

I suppose you have good English skill, so I wonder why you are interested in learning Japanese.
In view of international communication, English is a must, but Japanese is less important.
Is there any reason or purpose to learn Japanese?

>>483

Because Japanese culture is part of my life since i was born.

Culturally speaking, Japanese is a must now: I love arts in all his forms, i
like movies, music, painting, books, etc and Japan is one of the most
interesting cultures in the arts, at least for me, when i was young i watched
a lot of Japanese animation and playing Japanese video games, then i watch a lot
of Asian movies, from Hong Kong and Japan, and i was instantly in love with the culture.

Im at third grade in my Japanese institute, but there is a long way to go...

>>484
Thank you for your reply.

Every time I hear that you guys watch Japanese animation or play Japanese game,
it makes me wondering.
How popular is that in the world.

nanashi san also said that he was watching Japanese animation and
that fact made him somewhat girlish in writing Japanese. lol
I wonder what animation he is watching.

>>481
I am the one who mentioned 塵 but I am relieved that you understood my stupid joke. ^^;
The right kanji for Chile is 智利 although it is 当て字(phonetic equivalent). you already know it?

>>485
>nanashi san also said that he was watching Japanese animation and
>that fact made him somewhat girlish in writing Japanese. lol

Yea that's a problem...

>Every time I hear that you guys watch Japanese animation or play Japanese game,
>it makes me wondering.
>How popular is that in the world.

It's very popular in certain countries, but only in niche markets.
I know in Spain and Brazil for some reason anime is very popular.
The UK and other European countries are similar.
In the US, anime is very popular among people who, for one, are antisocial,
because it is a way of escapism (as was mentioned before), but it is
popular with some regular people too (such as myself). If I had to
generalise, I'd say anime is usually more popular with intelligent
people, but that would be hard to confirm.
A lot of Americans do not know what anime is. American cartoons are
almost always only for children, and if not then they are sitcoms
(such as Family Guy or The Simpsons etc.), so many people do not
take anything animated seriously. That has been a major reason why
anime is not more popular here.
We have many anime/manga conventions throughout the year as well, but they
rarely go above 30,000 attendees each, as opposed to Comiket, which
was 560,000 last year.

>>484
That sounds like me. Start with the anime and then over time grow to
become fascinated with the rest of the culture. I wouldn't be here
if I only had interest in the anime.

>>487
I see. But I feel you seldom talk about anime so I only know you really like Pokemon.
Anything else you like? I know Naruto was extremely popular among American for some time.

>>487
At first I thought United States also have Comiket then I realized you mean
"Comic market" of Japan.
I'm not enthusiastic about animation, so I've never been to Comiket.
However I often heard horrible stories about Comiket.
For example, someone couldn't hold out against their desire to evacuate....

By the way, does the Japanese animation you are watching have a subtitle or a English voice?

>>488
I've never watched those animation even though I'm living in Japan.
Why is Pokemon popular even among adult?

>>485
>Every time I hear that you guys watch Japanese animation or play Japanese game,
>it makes me wondering.
>How popular is that in the world.

It is indeed very popular here! i watched a lot of classic when i was young (im 26 years now)
like Gatchaman, Candy Candy, Versailles no Bara, Captain Future, Time Boukan, Mazinger Z and
other good old Anime, its pretty incredible!! now Anime is not the same as before, but there is
still some things that i like.

>>486
>I am the one who mentioned 塵 but I am relieved that you understood my stupid joke. ^^;

Yeah! 大丈夫 ww

>The right kanji for Chile is 智利 although it is 当て字(phonetic equivalent). you already know it?

No! i always read Chile as チリ in Katakana, i never heard about that, thanks a lot!

>>487
Here in my country is exactly the same, animation is watched always as "kid stuff", but there are
still some people who watch Japanese animation and things like The Simpsons, who is popular in Chile anyway.

>>489
>By the way, does the Japanese animation you are watching have a subtitle or a English voice?

I watched Japanese anime and movies with English subtitles, but im now understanding more Japanese so im happy with that!

>>489
>Why is Pokemon popular even among adult?

I think that is because the video game was a cult hit for a whole generation, so they grown up and still loves Pokemon.
I never played Pokemon seriously, but even to this day sounds a fun game, i haven't saw the Anime in years.

The last Anime that was showed in Chilean TV is Inazuma Eleven (who is called "Los Super 11" here), is for kids, but seems pretty
intense! like Captain Tsubasa... but even more www

>>491
>animation is watched always as "kid stuff"
That is true of Japanese.
As a matter of fact, some animations contain an idea or a lesson that is hard to understand to kids
although appearance of the animation is childish.

>but im now understanding more Japanese so im happy with that!
Be careful not to become girlish. lol

>I think that is because the video game was a cult hit for a whole generation,
> so they grown up and still loves Pokemon.
I think your speculation is to the point.

>>489
Like Chirijin-san, I prefer subtitles, because I have the belief that
shows should be voiced based on where they take place.
For example, since most anime take place in Japan, I expect them to be
in Japanese. But if one takes place in England, I prefer to watch it
in English. I'm weird that way though, most anime fans prefer to
watch it in Japanese with subtitles either to learn more Japanese,
because they prefer the better voice acting, or because it's more
"authentic".
And again I agree with Chirijin-san that I like Pokemon because it was
an integral part of my youth. And it's fun seeing all the new
Pokemon, even though at this point they're getting very strange.

>>493
>most anime fans prefer to watch it in Japanese with subtitles either to learn more Japanese,
>because they prefer the better voice acting, or because it's more "authentic".

I have to say that I'm one of them.
I prefer US or UK version game to localized one when I play the game produced by other countries.
More authentic is important to me.
Some games are translated into Japanese badly and losing it's nuance of atmosphere
and nuance of the lines.

>>494
It makes sense, yea? The games/shows/films are made from the perspective
of the culture that made them. Also, there is usually a smaller
budget for translations so they can have lower quality.
And aside from that, a lot can be lost in translation when translated
by companies; fansubs (subtitles written by a fan group) will give
more accurate translations and explain cultural differences.

>>495
Yea, I really think so.

I have watched the animation with fansubs several times and
I felt their translation was trying to retain original taste.
As you said, there were some annotations to explain cultural difference.
I was impressed by their enthusiasm and knowledge of second language.

>I have watched the animation with fansubs several times and

>As you said, there were some annotations to explain cultural difference.

Here in Latin America if you want to saw Anime outside from local TV you must need to saw fansubs.
There are no Anime business here, so you must pirate... its sad but there is no choice from us, the
only real option is to import, but it's not a easy option.

There are many translators in Japan. I know a lot of English-Japanese translators..
I wonder if they can be paid enough for their bread. Some even support a family.
I wonder if their wage is more than 300,000Yen.

I'm Jack the Ripper coming from the hell!!!!!!

Me, too.

hello stupid pokemons

hello smart pokemons

Most of Japanese quit playing Pokemon games by the time they leave elementary school.
So I'm little dubious about the existence of the foreign adult fans.

ach so

>>510
Why could you say "most"?

you mean how could you say or why were you able to?

>>510
I don't know why, but Japanese junior high school students tend to begin to feel ashamed to play
such Pokemon game or something like that, don't they?

Why'd the students feel so?
Plz tell me why :)

>>510
The last time I visited my nephews, they made me play this Pokemon card
game. At the time, they were aged 7 and 12, and it was like living a
nightmare. Since I see them so rarely, it felt like I couldn't just
say "no", so it was four hours later that my brother-in-law saved me.

After some research, I've come to the conclusion that Pokemon is partially
based on the 19th century French book, the 'Dictionnaire Infernal'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionnaire_Infernal
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/地獄の辞典

Hello everyone. Based on an article I've read in the New York Times about the current situation in Japan, I wanted to ask a couple of questions:
1. Is it true that the unemployment rate is still going up, and there's too much competition?
2. Do the College graduates go back to their parents until they find a job( it's the same situation in America right now, I'm a graduate without a job too) or do they move in those tiny apartments?
3. Are the Japanese not spending money and not going overseas by saving money?

Thanks.

>>517
hi stranger. id like to tell u what i know.
hope this could help.

1. yes. according to the Sankei News (an online news web site)
the unemployment rate is still going up and there's always competition.
but it doesnt mean you cant get a job at all.if u stop being crazy about
"i only wanna do what i want" u could get paid.
and during the "not so willing job but still a job" time,
some ppl start to study something that could be usefull for the near future.

2. diffenrence between JP and the US.
here in japan living by yourself right after graduate school
is not something everyone does or should. some does and some dosnt.
theres no "youre such a looser living with your mo" public criticism.
(but if u keep living with your parents till 30 just bcz ur lazy, there is)
it depends on them or their family rules. some companies requires
at least a year to live at your parent's. generally they leave home
after they earn enough to live. If you r from the country
and got a job in the city then you might get somewhere to live by yourself.
most rent a studio, or something similar they can efford.
so, what i mean is even if u got a job or not, u can stay or leave by choice.

3. this could be yes and no.
80 yen per a dollar is a great rate than ever if u just want to travel.
most japanese really like traveling. even the present economic situation
is not just fine in japan, they still r enough welthy when they go abroad.
let me say they spend and save money at the same time.

let me know if u dont understand my english.

　　　Good night entourages.

We understand your English. Thanks for explaining the situation in Japan.

>>518
I understand perfectly. Thank you very much for your response.

>>517
You forgot another interesting issue: The rapid aging of Japanese and why young couples do not want to have kids.

As to the issue, there are many problem such as how much money the parents have to pay to
grow up their children. The gap between older generation and younger one concerning a pension is another problem.

>>522
I do not want to have kids while I'm young.
It's best to wait until you are mature and make enough money, and are
in a stable relationship. A lot of Americans have kids too young...

I love my wife. But we have no kids at all.

>>527
I knew you had done.

The fact. Kame-girl has got pregnant with Kamenashi's baby.

I'm so interested in making my penis more big.
Anyone who know the method, please tell me how it is.

>>517 >>518
The Q&A reminds me of the writing section of EIKEN pre1 grade.

>>530
What do you do if your partner feel a pain caused by yours?
I don't think that's a good idea unless yours is far small than the average one.

Mine is 6 cm at a maximum.
But, it is said that the Japanese average size is 12-13 cm.

>>532 if it is painful, she might have internal
problems that needs to be seen by a doctor.
It can be psychological too.
Both can be resolved.

>>530 Don't worry about it. Concentrate on the love and affection
you can give. That is much more important.

>>529 KyonKyon has a better chance.

Don't mind even if your size is so small, as if you scrabbled it, it will become bigger than usual.

She is amazing

http://journal.mycom.co.jp/photo/news/2010/10/22/020/images/007l.jpg

>>534
Ahh..., What should I say...,
I apologize to you for my question in advance.

You mean a woman usually don't feel a pain at all even though he has the incredibly big one?
Of course, I don't think there is a man who has big thing exceeding the size of baby...

I heard that the size of the vagina would be flexible in response to the size of the partner's one.

>>537 No problem. Every man and woman have different builds, have
different mechanics, so a specialist in the field should be better
qualified to answer that question. My answer is, I don't know.
You are talking about muscles and nerves that expand and
contract with hormones. You have to treat human beings as a whole entity,
because psychology is involved in it too.
It is far too complicated to pinpoint things because of that.
If there are problems, then don't be afraid or shy to see
a doctor to alleviate the pain.
Because pain is usually an indication of a mechanical problem,
the woman must definitely see a doctor, it can be more serious
if not examined. For her own health's sake.

It is sure that the afection is more important than the size.
But, this is also fact that if the size isn't big enough, it couldn't reach down into the mouth of the uterus.

You shouldnt be worried because it is not a Frormula 1 race.
It is something between you and your partner, how you communicate
and interact. If it is fertility you are worried about, then you
would benefit from specialist advice. But anxiety is the biggest problem.
Because when anxious, problems look more serious than they really are.
If you relax and communicate, you will overcome hurdles eventually.
Just do not worry so much.

>>541 I have a question. Are you a Native English speaker?

>>540
I suppose many men can't get to such a point and there is no problem with that as to pregnancy.
Therefore I don't think that's a important thing.

shut fuck up and go away you fucking fat ass drama shit ass fucking bitch demn ass niggas.
fuck your mom's dick and poppa's pussy asshole.

pikachu pika pee!

Um, Judging from the taste, You have diabetes.
I recommend you to be seen by a specialist in the field.
Take care. lol

The only person who used to be here and whom I remember is Yukorin guy.

What do you think of moe-buta, people like pigs who are fond of only moe anime?

After a while winter will come and oden will appear in the convenience stores.

Excuse me, I'm looking for the other lively English chat site like this thread.
Could you please tell me if you know?

>>542 I am not. You can tell from my mistakes, and from the way I use English.
I try to correct them but sometimes I forget.

im a japanese married woman myself in my late 20s.
generally i dont talk much about this
because it could be offensive to some ppl.
but to tell the the truth "i hate kids". thats it.
well,im not evil. i do like cute and plump babies.
but being a mother, another story.

>>553
Don't worry, I'm sure many people share your feelings but just
keep it to themselves. I don't like children much either, especially
babies.

The problem in this part of the UK is that too many teenagers are becoming
pregnant at too early an age, at around 14 or 15 years old. They drop out of
education, leech benefits from the state, and then their children grow
into obnoxious teenagers themselves and the cycle starts all over again.

>>552
I didn't realize such things.
So I thought you are a native English speaker.
In addition to that, the reason why I thought that is I always felt you said
what you want to say clearly and concisely.
What is more, you know a lot of words that I don't know.
I cannot help feeling the huge gap between you and me in writing English.

>>554
Concerning second paragraph, Yea, I see what you want to say.
I also think that they are liable to become such person, but not always.
The reason why I did say "not always" is I felt you are obsessed with
some stereotypes about that sort of thing.

Don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to hurt you and I don't dislike you.
I just hate and despise those stereotypes.

>>555
Sorry, I should have said a little more on the subject, because you are
correct. In many cases, I suppose it's because of the environment in
which these children grow up that they emulate their parents and grow
into what society sees as a burden or a liability. It doesn't help when
such children live on council estates, where what they see in everyday
life is taken to be the normal way to behave and to do things.

It's always possible to go against the grain and to realise that there's
a wider world with many possibilities and that living the same daily routine
with the eventual goal of having children at an early age isn't the only
option society has to offer. I'm not trying to directly compare them, but
the same applies to convicts who may come from such a background. Just a couple
weeks ago, a man came to the door with a rucksack full of household products.
He introduced himself as "a criminal", and explained he understood if the door
was shut on him, but then went on to explain that while serving his sentence in
prison, he was able to associate with many other people of different backgrounds
and had a better view of the world after his release. He began purchasing household
goods from a wholesale magazine and was going from door to door seeing if people
wished to buy such products, though they were clearly at a higher than usual markup
price. Similarly, you do do see teenagers from council estates trying to make more
of their life, and such people are admirable. I suppose that the negative generalisation
exists because, unfortunately, there are more people willing to leech off the state
than those who attempt to form or reform their lives into helpful members of society.

"We support more than 90,000 brands and agencies across a wide range of verticals and sizes."

I understand "size" but what does verticals here mean.
Size can be measured by a number of employees or revenues but all I know
about vertical is something that's at 90 degrees angle at something.

Looking up the word in a few dictionaries didn't help.

I hate long sentences

I hate to slice onion

>>557
A 'vertical' is short for a 'vertical market', which is a group of
businesses and clients who share a specific type of trade - kind of
a niche market, and are generally quite competitive. I suppose businesses
groups such as banks, energy suppliers, insurance and real estate count as
verticals.

>>559
Woodworking goggles are good protection when cutting onions.

>>560
are you really british?

>>560
Oh, that was a short from of a vertical market, which I think I've heard
of somewhere. Maybe I'm wrong but it can be replacfed by "industries" or
something in the sentense above.

>>561
He is.

>>562
That's very close, but I think my definition was a bit too general, sorry.
A vertical is usually a subsection of an industry that supplies its goods
to other companies rather than the general public - such as although a
company which manufactures televisions is part of the consumer industry,
it would be the companies that manufacture the semiconductors or
transistors - and supply them to the TV manufacturer - which belong to a
vertical.

>>561
I hold dual nationality, and British is the one I identify with the most.

>>556
I was reassured that you didn't have blindness.

Unfortunately, what you said holds true for our society.
Some people try to get some pensions or welfare benefit to make their everyday lives
easy even though they are not eligible for that. Our society is full of corruption.
As you said, those vile people give rise to such a negative generalization.

I suppose this kind of thing exists all over the world.

>>563
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
I think I understand it better now.

>>560
Even I didn't know what a "vertical" was. That better not be on the EIKEN...

>>552
If you make any mistakes, I don't notice them. To me you look like a native speaker.
Are you Japanese?

From what I gather, she's Portugese working in UK.
She never said she's from Portugal but from what she said before,
one time I thought she is from there. I forgot what the evidence was.
Maybe when she mentioned time difference between UK and her country and
I thought she's from Portugal. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe not...
I'm under the impression that she doesn't want to say where she's from,

The only certain thing is that she is not a virgin girl.
You don't know whether I am a virgin or not.

I bet the KAME GIRL will be a great mother.
She is mature enough to be one.

>>575
I think I know you're virgin.
Do you know why? Because it's just a virgin person who cares about who
is virgin or not.

Along the same line, it's only a vergin boy who cares too much about the size of
his penis. I used to care about my little penis but now I don't.
Because I know even my little dick is good enough to make a woman cum.
Size might be matter for some woman but quite a lot of woman don't care penis size.

My penis size? Just 11cm or so (4.5 inches) when erected.
I wish I had a bigger one enough for it to be called "Asian canon" but
I care less about it now compared to when I was virgin.

>>577
Your cock is much smaller than mine(I'm Japanese).
But...don't worry about it.
How hard and how long staying power it is more important.

I have to admit a little bit having exaggerated but to be honest, I don't have
unreasonable feeling about that expression.
Yea, Yea, I can understand what your feeling is.
I suppose many people are the same as you.

Sometimes staying ignorance is better than knowing.

If you want to keep being what you are now and are content with current
everyday life, don't think of this kind of things profoundly.

Huh? The reason why?
Because I'm a freak.

shut up and go hang yourself then

Many Japanese people wanted to change their everyday lives and left their future to the politicians(DPJ).

>>583
it's none of your business. lol

All your deductions are wrong, wrong wrong.
You don't know a thing about me.
That sort of info is written on any women's health's forums.
If you look on the net, you will find it.

>>553 In that case you need to leave the decision to your later
years. Unfortunately if you leave it too late it gets compliated or impossible.
It is great to hear from a woman who speaks her mind, despite the
social pressure.

Raising a child is detrimental to career development of women.
The economy is built for men by men. That is why we are forced
to make really tough choices.
Men only have that problem if they are committed and suddenly their
partner gets pregnant.
Whereas women have to worry about it for half of their lives.

Conclusion: This is not a women friendly life at all.

Conclusion: Go fuck yourself since noone would fuck you.

You have fear of castration.

>>586
it seems somewhat you are a sexist

What makes you think that way? Explain please.

it seems you wanna say man is to blame for whatever you dont like

You are exaggerating. The economy is built that way.
If things don't work out for women, they should do their
part and change it so that it works for everyone.

their part? why? you think woman cant do and change?

lets talk about pokemon or germany's future

thats the rigorous ritual those alpha males of master race must go through.
but ok, lets talk about pokemon.

my favourite pokemon is the cicada ninja one. forgot his name
but ninjas are always cool, and cicadas are very japanese so its very fitting.
whats your favourite pokkemon?

I am lesbian, and I love big dildo.

I know only 151 pokemon.
my favorite is Starmie of those.

>>604
Excuse me, I thought lesbian loves beloved partner but not dildo itself.

>>605
How old are you?

>>605
you dumbass please explain why you like Starmie.
this is what irritates me when reading one of those "whats your favourite _______?" threads.
dumbasses just list up their favourite things without stating why they like them.
they just leave the list there and disappear. fucking dumbasses.

>>607
the same is true of >>604, isn't it"

I loved Pokemon so much when I was a child.
btw, サイコキネシス and ねんりき are just the same meaning.
Anyone know what they are put into English? though it's nearly meaningless to know that...

>>606

in that case, she still have options.
adoption could be one of those.
im not a great fan of the idea of surrogacy,
but this could be another.
not everyone must have kids from their bellies.
anyway, i dont think she doesnt have and she might doesnt
without thinking about the consequences.

Why do you ask me such a question?
Are you looking for some foreigners to have a chat?
or is my English quite odd?

>>618
Sorry,but have you learned to use English only by studying in Japan?
It's great.

I should have written "my writing in English"...

>>619
No problem.
Yea, Actually, I have learned English in that way.
Thanks to Internet, these days we can choose a lot of ways to learn English,
even if we don't go out of our own house.

merkel of germany says multiculturalism (i.e. the concept of living happily with immigrants side by side) has utterly failed and
thats what i was going to talk about initially.
so what do you think?

>>621
Even though I don't know well such political or racial things, I can easily imagine
it's hard to adopt those policies in simple way.
Even America has struggled with those issues for a long time.
In addition to that, generally the people are worried about losing
the characteristics of their nation.
So I think it doesn't work out well.

Sorry, I should have said "So I don't think it works out well"...

Come to think of it,why can only America get on well with such various races?

America doesn't.

>>621
Culture is still a large barrier for many people. Though the UK has many
immigrants, most of whom actually try to integrate with society, there
are still many who keep to their own communities and refuse to integrate.
Many of these people expect the country's laws to adapt to their own
culture, and that is where most of the tension begins.

Well,why has the UK accepted so many immigrants?
Lack of labour?

We have to ask the following question: Can Europeans easily assimilate into the culture they
migrate to? If they cannot, and they adhere to the European way of life wherever they go,
then they should not be expecting the same from other cultures.
However for harmony. "When in Rome..." should be the motto of every person considering
living in another country.

you should write those things in some bulletin boards in korea or china.

It is Sunday today....but I have nothing to do,
and I don't have much money because I have no job...
I feel very painful...

Then, you can have a chat with us.

>>628
Agree completely. But it doesn't just apply to Europeans.

>>627
I'll have to read more about this topic, because I honestly
don't really know. Perhaps it's just a remnant of the days when
there was much more freedom in the ability to travel.

Why have Jews been hated in Europe?

I heard this song somewhere in internet a few months ago.
This song was made especially for a Japanese woman.
Somehow I'm being obsessed with this song.
Once I sing this song in my head, it is difficult to stop it.
So over and over again...

I have completely forgotten today is the day of BlizzCon 2010.
I have just read the article in Japanese gaming news site.
Needless to say, The most notable thing is Diablo 3.
As we expected, The last character was revealed. That is DemonHunter.
I'm not sure, but I suppose this character is consist of amazon's traits and
assassin's traits.

Unfortunately, the release date is still veiled for now.
They say Bllizard plan to release Star Craft 2 expansion package in late 2011.
So it seems The release date of Diablo 3 is after that, in other words,
we can't play D3 at least until 2012.
It's a bummer.

I am going to sing that addictive song as a requiem so that my disappointment can rest in peace.

I love this tin po..... (Ghaa!!)

>>628
The fact that you aren't from Europe is deducted from your post?
You happened to be from South East Asia, or Russia even South America?

I guess you are not from Africa.

>>637 I told you I am from Venus.

there aren't any earthlings on Venus. Just Venusians.

>>638
Some questions to ask.

How fast is Venus's internet connection?

How do you cope with acid rain? How is you skin different from ours?

We live underground. It is cooler.

>>640
I would beg to differ. It is only 460 C on the surface, you should try
it out. But be careful with the volcanoes.

Does Venus have anything like 2ch?

>>638
Venus? Hah, such well known planet is not a big deal.
You know, Yukorin came from the Korin planet.
No one knows where The Korin planet is.
and what is more, You are inferior to even Sailor Venus.

In this thread there become more peole from various countries ?

no, verious planets.

Venusians do not bother with the internet. They are too busy living.

Me, I am now watching a dorama, so I am kind of not motivated

If you want to know what a character in the drama are saying in a particular part of

Well, it is not whether it works or it doesn't. It has already failed, utterly. (according to the chancellor)
And further, she said that the Christian concept of mankind is what defines Germans, and that anyone
who doesn't accept that is "in the wrong place." So I think she basically said that the Muslim immigrants
who don't accept and adopt Christian values are not welcome in Germany.

this thread is becoming more confusing. i think i will eat now.
oh: to japanese people, for kanji with little marks on the top like
鳥 and 文 and 自 how do you know which direction to make the mark?
It appears to usually be ? but sometimes it's ´.

>>655
The ? is a ` mark.

I don't really undertand your question, but the mark on 文 and the one on 自 are two different things,
so I think you have to just memorise each kanji.

>>655
Interesting question. Never thought about it.
I think it's easy to explain except that I have to explain in English.

This confusion of you comes from typed kanji. If they are typed, both ´and `
look as if they were almost in the middle of the horizontal line it is
on. But Actually, in case of ´, it isn't in the middle of the horizontal line when
kanji is hand written.

When you see handwritten 鳥 and 自, ´is on top of│.
If ´were ` in 鳥 and 自, it couldn't be contacted with the top of │.

In case of ` plus horizontal line, ` is always (almost) in the middle of the horizontal line
in handwritten version. But in case of typed 文, ` and the horizontal line
looks like contacted at 90 degrees angle but actually it has to be `
This is another odd thing about typed kanji.

>>655
And if typed, ´and ` look like the same length, but actually when handwritten,
´is a lot longer than `.

Plus, when hand written, you follow through ´stroke, while you stop
` stroke at the end, if you know what I mean.

Maybe when you remeber kanji, it's better to remember them based on
hand-written ones.

I've never written 令 心 etc

Do "To my knowledge" and "To my information" at the top of a sentense
mean the same thing?

Any differences?

>>661
"To my information" is used less and they mean a very similar thing.
I would generally use "To my knowledge".

>>662
All right. Thank you.
Somehow To my information isn't listed in online dinctionries I tried looking the
expression up in.
That's because it's used less.

I think some Europeans are very flexible and creative when it comes to adopting foreign cultures to their own style.
Though, sometimes they go a bit too far on the queer side, well, at least by Japanese standards...

Actually, D3 is being developed in Blizzard Korea office.
Its graphical flavor is quite Asian taste compared with D2 and D1.
I really hate those facts. Quite disgusting.
On the other hand, I have also expectations, because I used to play D1 and D2.
In addition to that, it seems that a good multi-player RPG (not MMO) is not put on
the market for a while.
Now, I only hope that D3 isn't similar to shitty Korean MMO.

why is God Save the Queen britian's anthem? we never hear that song around here.
we haer france anthem, russian anthem, and of course america anthem all the time,
but I never heard God Save the Queen. it is unknown.
why is Rule! Britannia not their anthem? its a much better song for Great Britain. and it is very well known.

>>697
Perhaps we're just not as patriotic as those other countries. Many people
here don't feel any allegiance to the royal family, as the Queen may be
the official head of state, but she holds very little power, making many
lines of the anthem obsolete.

Государственный гимн Российской Федерации, La Marseillaise, and The Star
Spangled Banner are all about the country and the identity of the people,
which God Save the Queen/King is kind of lacking. Rule! Britannia would be
a better choice of anthem, though gone are the days when the British fleet
was the greatest in the world. Many people believe that we should adopt
'I Vow to Thee, My Country' by Holst and Spring-Rice as our anthem; originally
it was a Christian hymn, but there are members of the Church of England who
want to ban it from religious services as it places national loyalty above religion.
I'm sure you might recognise that music too.

“If I were a bird, I could fly to you.”
This is an example sentence written in some English textbooks of Japanese high school.
Do you foreigners always say such a genteel thing?

>>699
It's not something we would say regularly, and it depends on the speaker.
Most people here would say "If I was a bird...", which does carry the same
meaning, but using "were" sort of alters the mood of the sentence, making
it more rhetorical or even wistful, depending on the context.

If you're asking if we use such phrases, well, it all depends on who we
are talking to...

Now and even back then, people who have tatooed aren't allowed to
use publick bath, sauna and swimming pool etc. because tatoo resembles yakuza and so
intimidating.

It sounds romantic to me...
I prefer the "were" because that's correct usage of the subjunctive.
"Was" also works though. They don't sound any different to me but
I don't know how it might sound in England.

I Vow to Thee, My Country
Checked it on youtube, and yes it was more than just recognizable.
This song feels like I'm watching the finale of some war movie or something. A great patriotic song nonetheless.
And while reading the comments on youtube, I found another great song, Land of Hope and Glory.
Your country has many incredible awe-inspiring patriotic anthems (all of which are better than most other
countries anthems), yet becoming unpatriotic? It is sad.

feel like I'm watching is correct ?

don't know. ask igirisu-jin or nanashi

>>609

Psychic and Confusion respectively.

>>722-723
Ah, yes, there's Elgar's 'Land of Hope and Glory' too, more about the
country than the apparent sovereign, so another good contender. But yes,
I think that many countries - not just Britain - are losing their national
identities through attempting to cater for the cultures of ethnic
minorities, and through fear of causing offence.

How do the Japanese people feel about 君が代? To us, it's very laid-back for
a national anthem, without much of the pomp and arrogance that we're used to.

Many native speakers would use "feels like", but "makes me feel like" is
more correct, structurally, I'd say.

Quick feedback. Don't take it seriously.

IE8 ---> The letters are garbled. I changed "Encode" and set it "automatic
setting" but still they are shown garbled.

FF--->Garbled, too. Didn'T change letters setting because don't know
where to tweak on the browser.

Chrome---->Finally, for some reason it works!
Interesting to see every thread's busy time of a day.

Don't take this post a complain. Just a feedback as I said earlier.
I could see the link only with Chrome.

>>721
I said they are garbled but the left side column showing the names of
boards are shown properly. Only the thread names of English board are garbled.

>>729
What's he doing?
He wrote script or program to take statistics of thread activities?

>>728
You must be a NEET to be waking up at 午前１時４５分。
>>723
I agree with Igirisujin.

What's funny about the American national anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner)
is that almost nobody knows the full lyrics (many people know the first verse but not a lot). In fact a lot of people don't even know
that it's our anthem... I had to look it up to make sure lol

>>729
to change the encoding in Firefox go to View -> Character Encoding
(or the Japanese equivalent).
However, while I can get the leftmost list to work, the Javascript
part is encoded improperly (it should be Shift_JIS, but
it appears to be displaying in ISO-2022-JP instead.)

>>729,733
Thanks for the feedback! Was thinking the FF problem was due to caching,
but since it's not just me, guess it's not... seems to work fine in both
Chrome and Safari. Opera works when the page is custom-set to Shift_JIS.
Using encoding with Javascript is always a pain... it's set to receive the
page data in Shift_JIS, but is using, as nanashi said, ISO-2022 for the
calls.

And as for our national anthem, I'll admit I can only pick out random words
now and again and, of course, the "God save the Queen" line, but don't really
know the rest.

I prefer this one

>>735

I wasn't alive at that time, but I'm sure my dad told me that version was banned here in England.

Can somebody confirm?

I do not know.

But you don't need to be born in the year a song is made to
listen to it really.

This is such a great thread! I learned so many interesting things. And laughed a lot! 4chan doesn't give me the same satisfaction.

>>736
It was banned by the BBC and Independent Broadcasting Authority, which
regulates radio stations. Some shops also banned sales, but despite this,
it still reached number 2 on the charts - though many people believe this
was fixed. Rod Stewart was at number one instead.

Encoding problem is now fixed, so threads display properly in the
remaining browsers. Had to force Shift_JIS into the headers of the pages
called.

I went to England just this summer. London's a great place. But the weather. It's kind of depressing.

>>741
I guess you caught most of the rain when it was around - a shame, really,
though most people expect that of England. Once the rain had cleared, we
had a pretty good late summer which extended further into the year than usual.
Did you travel outside of London, or stick to the city? There's way too much
to see and do for just one trip.

kiss my ass, niggaz

>>731
Yeah, he said he made it for the fun of it.

>>733
Thanks for the input.

>>734
No problem. Garbled letters are fixed. GJ. The way the stat of threads
is desplayed defferently between IE8 and FF. In case of the former,
it's shown at the bottom of the page while in case of the latter and Chrome it's shown
on the top left.

In case of IE when you want to see the stats of threads listed higher, you have to
scrool down all the way to the bottom, while in case of FF and chrome, when you
want to see the stats of threads listed lower, you have to scroll all the
way up to the top of the page. It would be more user friendly if the stats of
each thread is right next to each thread. For the sake of feedback...

As a Japanese, I'm curius to know what post is funny/interesting form your/overseas people's

I totally understand how funny it is to read posts of foreign language
learners with lots of mistakes. I for one never mind making mistakes when
I post in English. Actually, if you are afraid of making mistakes, you can't write
even one sentense.

>>747
The majority of the posts here that are supposed to be offensive are
either spelled wrong, incorrectly formed, or make no sense in the

Because of this, they sound like the rantings of a child who just

No no i am not laughing at your english at all. If anything, i praise you for writing so well. It's posts like >>745 that are funny when he uses wromg english. You guys have good english in my opinion. Keep up the good work!

Hi, are you still there?
Ive been in the us for years now, but ilove uk more than anywhere. ive been to london long
time ago, and im thinking about going there again right after my tasks start settling down.
london had actually been on the top of my wanna-live-in list before i finally dropped anchor in the us.
so im thrilled to visit there again, but there is one little thing that casts a shadow over my exciting plan.
the thing is that i have such a hard time understanding british accent. i have
a traumatic experience of conversing with brit people.
when i was working at a small firm, i picked up one of the clients' call,
the lady started talking. what a nightmare that was, i didnt understand any single word
she uttered. now that i know she must have been a scottish whose sound was totally unfamiliar
for me, but how was i supposed to know how they speak english back then? she blamed on me not
understood her at all, and i had to put her through to my scary boss.
she got upset with me, because it turned out that the lady was one of the most important ones,
so she took me off the project i was working on that time.
well, that couldve happened to anyone, so im not being pathetic.
rather, ive just started to wonder if the opposit thing could happen
to brit people. you guys have your own accent, so i guess american
english sounds unnatural for you, doesnt it? id like to know
how hard for you guys to understand american accent completely.
please tell me if youre still on.

>>752
Just about to leave and see a client, but will answer some, for now.
It's true that the UK has such a wide variety of accents - there are even
some regions I've been where I've thought, "are they actually speaking
English?" and then, five minutes later, realising they were. So it does
happen to us all, even British people in Britain. However, generally, American
accents are pretty effortless to understand.

>>752-753
Accents! I love them. American (usually) tends to be enunciated pretty
clearly, and RP is generally easy to understand too. But I agree with
Igirisujin-san, some UK accents are crazy! But that's what makes me
love them more.
In America, if someone's speaking so weirdly that you can't understand
them, it may be better to avoid them...

OMG! My favorite Mitsushima Hikari got married to a film director Ishii Yuya! All the beatuful
actresses are taken by Japanese strange guys><

>>755
Oh no, it's such a catastrophe!

>>753,754
its 752.
well, i love british people and the culture, but i just cant understand
british(i mean, all of uk people's) accents.
honestly, ive always started not being able to speak whenever i faced them.
the most recent thing that i can tell you is my failure in a movie theater.
i usually avoid watching british-spoken movies without subtitles, but i just
happened to watch sharlock holms with my boyfriend. i actually didnt even think
the whole story would be spoken in british english. that was foolish of me.
you know, it was "sharlock holms," who'd expect american accent other than me?
guess what, i didnt understand more than half of the lines.
maybe my listening skill is kinda poor, so i cant pick up the accents easily...
although id love to be able to understand them.
im going back to london with my mom and little sister this time, so
im a bit nervous.

>>757
Sherlock Holmes, with the protagonist played by an American? You do
need to work on your British.
Learn the phonological rules for words in British and soon you'll be
able to figure out what they mean. For example, of you hear "caa",
you know that the British accent drops r's at the end of words,
so you can determine that it means "car".
I never thought there were Americans that actually couldn't understand
British... no offence.
Listen to British radio and watch the BBC. Then try speaking with
the accent. You'll get it in no time.

>>755
Never heard of her and don't know how popular she is.
The news means nothing to me.

The fact that Haruna Hana turned to AV actress was more shocking to me,
although even when she was a bikini model, she had an ambiance of AV actress.

I think it's her agancy's strategy. They had planned to make her debut as a
AV idol but to add premium to her, they first made her debut as a bikini model.
This is a new strategy to sell an idol. Debuting as a AV actress from the beginning
doesn't add values to her.

It's October but Haruna Hana turned AV actress in June or July.
Didn't know that. When I had seen her as a bikini idol before, I
deginately wanted to see her naked so this is my dream come true.
Her body is far away from that of average Japanese women.
Her face? Not so good but her body is exceptional.

Her Acting as an AV actoress is horrible, but still it was good to see
her naked. So gorgeous body she has.

g2 hell fucking faggot!!

Which of the three versions, A, B and C is the best, second best and the thrid best(or worst)?
It may be hard to decide but I'd like you to choose best, second best and
the third best. Also, anyfeedback for them is appreciated. Thank you.

A) Thank you for replying to me till late at night all the time.
I am trying to use one card to evaluate usability by activating right
now. I am willing to do business to sell cards to Japanese who desires
to have one, but it won't last for a long time as a business because
I will not be able to make enough profit only from cards sales.
Is there any way for me to have continuous income such as monthly fee?
Also, would it be possible for you to send all cards to me instead of sending
them directly to customers? I would like to enclose direction written in Japanese
before you send cards to customers.

I like American's“Saturday”especially.
it sounds like サラディ

B) Thank you for the contacts until midnight everytime. Now, I have tried to check
the convenience of one of the cards which has been activated. I have
a plan of the business which I sell the card to prospective Japanese
customers. However, it would not work as the business that makes
profits solely from selling of the cards in short-period. Is there
any way to earn profits consistently such as monthly fee? Also, is it
possible that all the cards once can be sent to me not to the customers?
I would prefer to enclose the manual in Japanese before sending the card
to the customers.

C)Thank you for writing back to me even when it's late at night in your country.
I've just activated one card and am currently trying using it to see how it works.
I'm thinking about starting a business by selling the cards to Japanese customers,
but the business won't last long just by selling them. Is there any ways such as
receiving monthly fees I can try to earn a steady revenue? Also, is it possible for
you to send each cards to me first instead of sending them out to Japanese customers directly?
I'd like to add an instruction to a card for Japanese customers before sending it to them.

>>758
oh, thats just because im japanese, i guess. though my roomy (she's texan) told me
her mom doesnt really understand british accent,either. my boyfriend whos from LA says
he understands every words of british english.
i'll try to get the sense of british accent by next summer at which im planning to
go visit london. maybe will start with bbc.
thanks for the advice!

So, I must go to eye doctor to check my eyesight for buying new contact

The Music of Romeo and Juliet 1968　Lyrics　"What is a Youth" 　by Nino Rota, words by Eugene Walter

What is a youth? Impetuous fire.
What is a maid? Ice and desire
[ The world wags on ]
A rose will bloom....
It then will fade:
so does a youth,
so does the fairest maid.

Comes a time [ when one sweet smile
has a season for a while....]
Then love's in love with me.
Some they think only [ to marry ],
others will tease and tarry.
Mine is the very best parry.
Cupid he rules us all.
Caper the cape, but sing me the song,
Death will come soon [ to hush us along ].
Sweeter than honey... and bitter as gall,
Love is a task and it never will pall.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall.
Cupid rules us all."

Mine is the very best parry.
Cupid he rules us all.
Caper the cape, but sing me the song,
Death will come soon [ to hush us along ].
Sweeter than honey... and bitter as gall,
Love is a task and it never will pall.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall.
Cupid rules us all."

happy birthday ossan.

shut up, motherfucking fag

>>800 I love you.

It's so cold today. I went to police
to get my 1 man Yen note back. Actually a month ago, a couple of note of 1万円were stolen while
I was working out at the gym, putting my bag in the rocker. Well, but the gym manager called a police and
they started to investigate inside the place. They have gone thru the practice exactly as the detective dramas
we usually watch on TV; checking the fingerprints on the surface of the rocker by some cottony things. Overall it took quite a long time
and then my remained 1manen note was hold at the police in case there were some fingerprints of a robbery
other than mine. In the result, there were one but that was not related to any one with the
criminal records. So I was informed to get that note back. Case closed. It's all my fault...because at the first place,
I didn't really shut the lock ....so stupid of me.
some cottony things.

Oh no....terrible sorry
rocker = rock'n roll or just a stone
Locker= the place where we usually put the things in

On another note, I usually keep a few note of 1000Yen only but at that time
I had to go to +buy something after that and that time was a holiday...so I
brought about 30,000 Yen in my wallet....

I learned something on that day;

It is too late to lock the stable when the horse has been stolen

I don't know.
What are you doing here ?

>>806 Are u talking to me?

g2 hell, asshole

>>802
Is that what happened in Japan?

Yep. Well...you said a good point. Actually this kind of robbery won't happen in Japan.
Later I found out that my little bro...(13 yo) picked up 2 man Yen from my wallet on the
day before the day.

Later, I found out that my little bro had taken 2 pieces of note from my wallet on
that day before.

I felt so guilty but haven't informed police until today and today I went to
the police. The police guy said oh sorry that I couldn't find the culprit.

shut the fuck up, fucking bitch

>>812
Why did you apologize to the police for that?

You forgot to put quotation marks or used a wrong pronoun, didn't you?

humm....yes. well, I had believed that the money was stolen when police was
investigated, but later it was found that my bro was the culprit. So you know,
I should have apologized to the police, shouldn't I?

>>815
You must be confusing.
Why was the police investigated?
Calm down.

No not that a big deal. well prob my passage was not well written. My money was
stolen first and the police came. But later my little bro was the culprit that was what I
found out later. In that case I should have apologize or informed to the police if I were a
honest person. That was what I wanted to say.

>>817
Well, I suppose you should learn English grammar before using such abbreviations.

>>818
well, for example tell me which part were wrong and also please rewrite them in a right way
grammatically.

That's not my business.

That's not my business or It's none of my business
Probably none of my business is more often said?

You can google it.

I think 820 is not good at English that's why he said he cannot do it. Also that's not my business
is less natural than none of my business. It also shows his incapability.

So what if?

Well, always...if you denigrate someone, you should always be someone better than that person.
In your case, it seems that you are not better than me. So you don't have a right to say anything negative
to me.

I don't care at all whatever you say.

puwahahaha...I guess you are a loser, a complete loser. Anyway, hopefully
you'll find something fun in your life. ^^

His English was enough for me to understand despite the grammatical errors. Just keep working on the grammar and you'll be fine.

>802, your grammar looks pretty good to me!
Too many people troll these boards and try to scare away the people
who are actually trying to practice English, huh?
しょうがない。
Oh and, today I saw a cat who was named after me. "Nanashi"... but
apparently that just meant he hadn't been named yet...

>>829
I don't know if this anology is right, but English to Japanese people is like French to American people.
Japanese people who speak English well is considered kind of snobby and
envied.
A kind of jeolous makes people become harsh on Japanese people who speak English well.
It's not let's-become-fluent-together attitude. Instead of praising
someone's English, we tend to look for mistakes (Even if it's just a
small mistake) in someone's English and are desperate to feel better.

>>830
Maybe people have an inferiority complex when they see that someone
can speak English well? They feel like they are not as good as the
person who is fluent so they try to make that person feel bad in order
to make themselves feel better.
People do not generally make fun of people who speak French unless
the person brags about it. I've been made fun of for speaking
French before (the person shouted "Baguette baguette baguette! over everything
I said), but I don't care.
I think you just need to ignore those people. Not to sound
narcissistic, but English is an extremely useful international
language and is very good to know. And if you don't know it and go
to an English-speaking country, you won't be treated as well.
(Unfortunately, in America especially, people are very prejudiced
towards foreigners that don't speak English. It is completely
hypocritical but it's true.)
I'm trying to learn Japanese so that when I go to Japan I can say
"Hey, I'm an American that actually speaks Japanese!"
Either way maybe my response taught someone some new vocabulary.

Anyway who wants to play a game?
Whoever can give me the longest Japanese word (written in hiragana)
wins. No foreign words, and no phrases.
Bonus points if it does not have particles (like ＸのＹ).

i dont give a fuck, fucking fag

I think almost of Japanese men aren't manly. In restroom of university
or station, I often see the man who push a button on a toilet for pissing
before pissing.
Everytime I see such people, I can't stop thinking them as an unmanly man...
All I wanna say to such people loudly is "Other don't (rather, never) pay
attention to your sound of excretion!".

By the way, in 31 October, it's Heroin! Will almost of you hold a Heroin party
in your or your friend's house? If so, don't forget to say your neighbors"Trick
or trade!" when you visit their house to get some snack. Of course, don't for-
get to make a Junk o' luncheon, a symbol of Heroin party!

fuck you asshole

A heroin party doesn't even exist.
It only exists in fictions, I believe.

I think Kimigayo repersents Japan's spirit well, and most people probably feel that way.
Little kids may think it's boring or dark, but I think mosst people would agee that upbeat
or pomp stuff don't suit us.
Thanks to the short lyrics, 99% of people know the full lyrics.

Thanks a lot. hehe but it proves that I was not an honest person at the end of the day ^^;;

I agree with you. Kimigayo and Japanese flag both have a perfect sense of simplicity
and sophistication. Very solemnly and short. We should learn more about lyric in
primary school, just to learn and love our country more, not on the purpose of
increasing the nationalism in a bad way. Also the design of the Hinomaru, the Japanese
flag looks beautiful. The circle inside is red and rest are all white. It represents the sun.
From a perspective of design, it is a perfect flag, I think.

Gotta remind you once in every thread that...

......I've forgot that part. I mean that had been long staying in my mind but
recently I've been trying hard to get off from that thoughts. He is still little and
did not ware enough about value of the money, of course together with the
prohibit acts such as theft...our family members are all educating him nowadays..My mom
took his Nintendo and other soft away from him and no longer gets any pocket money.
He's been spending most of the time playing piano these days. I think he is now much more
healthier than before.

Well I forgot 877 was me. And needless to say I am 870.

Ill health reminds me of my childhood.
There was a tutor.
He taught me for entrance examination of a select school.
I didn't like studying but to see him is another.
We studied every day, sometimes until midnight, for years.
They said he was intelligent though I'm not sure if a child could understand it.
He was gentle. I imagened it was because his view for the world was most pessimistic and cruel, so he had pity on a most pathetic child. The child became unhealthy.
One day he silently held my hands. I was frozen for a moment.
He asked me if I wanted to meet him after the examination. I was completely upset and said something rude by habit.
He sighed as always and never mentioned it again.
It went tragic. Eventually I went the school where gifted children gathers. Still I was always looking for something I had lost instead, at last in stones.
He was originally studying for something important examination and a part-time teacher.
After that they said he was an earnest and excellent teacher and I doubt his sanity he became a teacher.
Last year I heard that teaching was not his calling.
And now how I am.

I thought we did our best, and life should be so.
Or we could do our best because of each other. Without realizing it, our life became such futile.

↑oh wow...but I don't really get the point of this passage...you mean you and he
were homosexually attached?

I was twelve. I think there must have been more actual problems even if I was not attached homosexually.

>>881
Your comment makes me wonder even more...the facts are; 1) you were not attached,
2) there had been more problems if you were close to him?
then what the point?

I ‘ve been listening to the News and transcribing them. But in some part, I hardly can hear some words.
Please help with it somebody! Thanks in advance!
