can anyone explain the grammar in かく語りき?
it's how they say thus spake like in thus spake zarathustra
>>
>>47854441
The phrase かく語りき (kaku katari-ki) is a classical Japanese expression often used to translate the English phrase "thus spake" or similar expressions found in older or more formal styles of writing. Here's a breakdown of the grammar:

1. **かく (kaku)**: This is an adverb meaning "thus" or "in this way." It sets up the statement to follow, meaning that someone is about to say something in a particular way.

2. **語り (katari)**: This is the *ren'yōkei* (連用形), or conjunctive form, of the verb 語る (kataru), which means "to speak" or "to tell." The *ren'yōkei* form is used to connect to other elements or, in this case, to the auxiliary verb that follows.

3. **き (ki)**: This is an auxiliary verb in classical Japanese, used to indicate something that happened in the past. It's a direct past-tense marker, typically associated with personal experience or something the speaker has direct knowledge of. In modern Japanese, it’s no longer used, but it's commonly found in classical texts and formal, literary works.

### Overall Translation:

かく語りき literally means "thus spoke" or "thus told," capturing the same meaning as the phrase "thus spake" in English. It's a very formal, old-fashioned way of indicating that someone said something in a certain way.

In the context of translating something like "Thus Spake Zarathustra," this phrase mirrors the archaic and formal tone of the original.
>>
>>47854441
You found that book in the neocities library too huh
>>
>>47854441
kaku is just 斯く, archaic way of saying "like this" or "thus"
katari is just the continuative of kataru which I'm sure you know
ki is classical japanese past tense indicator, where the speaker actually experienced what they're talking about in contrast to -keri

>rewatching stuff you already know is boring
I never understood people who are like this. Knowing a show only means you have more context clues which will help you understand more. When i thought about replaying OoT in japanese or rewatching shows in japaneses I was hyped about it because i knew it would help me level up. Putting in several hours into it each day. I was never bored of the idea.
>>
i get it being boring if you watched it already in japanese, but going through in jp for the first time is like watching it for the first time again. especially if its a show you haven't watched in a while. rewatching made in abyss in japanese was amazing actually

where's QM. i have a question i know he can answer. what elements determine whether or not a card you mined is of high quality? i always used the line of thinking that less required context = high quality card, but i've never really thought about it beyond that. i find myself almost always mining from sections in anime that are basically expositions of concepts/ideas, one-off conversations between characters or random things like sections when you hear news reporters talking/broadcast announcements etc.

>What's most tragic about Misae-san's situation isn't even that it was unrequited. It's that he was drafted before they ever got the chance to tell each other. He's still in her heart, even now.
am I a dekinai or does the english and japanese says different things?
>>
>>47855931
I think it depends entirely on context
This one passage says nothing about tragedy but it could easily be implied and need to be made explicit.
>>
>>47855948
i guess you right, i just found it weird that english did not say they both liked each other
>>
>>47855991
It's a bad translation for sure, "wasn't even that it was unrequited" doesn't really imply that it was requited which is explicit in the original.

I was studying properly for most of this year and got a lot out of it, peaking in July when I was reading for hours daily, but once I finished the LN I was reading I kind of lost footing. Now my routine is just anki and half-hearted half an hour of trying to force myself to read some shit i don't care for

Past record suggests that I will randomly fire up again like two years from now, but I'd rather skip the waiting.

You do need to do this though, if you want to learn to use the language instead of only be able to read the language.

it must be the case that listening helps cement stuff that you only kind of know when you read, as in acquisition mostly happens with listening. because for listening you have to actually understand something instantly in real time so it has to be deeply ingrained whereas with reading you can constantly pause to think about stuff.

having to rely on translators to read something is ass and with manga it might take decades until something is fully translated if it even gets there, teenager me always thought "wish I knew the language"

I would emulate popular Japanese video games during my lunch breaks at work and kind of felt like I was wasting my time, so I figured learning the language of the games I played would be marginally more productive. Plus I’d like to collect retro games and US copies are way too expensive but the 日本語 ones are much cheaper.

Also the idea of watching the original anime and playing the original games as they were designed seemed cool. I never really understood the importance of it until I saw some American cartoons and tv shows dubbed in Japanese and felt like they were not only inferior but invalid, so I figured the English dubs of the anime I would watch must be invalid too.

Finally it just seems like a totally cool and extremely rare skill to have. Like the idea of holding a novel written entirely in Japanese and having my brother or someone I know from work see me read it and for me to say “yeah, I actually know how to read this and what all these weird kanji symbols mean” seems really cool.

I'm probably going to be the most unique answer here so I'll share.

2024 was literally life changing for me. I initiated a divorce and ended up in the hospital for acute liver failure shortly after. Moved back into my mom's house to work on paying off debt, sold everything I own. House, car, truck, just basically hit the entire reset button on my life. I lost 55 pounds in like 2 months after quitting drinking. I used to drink a handle of vodka per day. Did that for around a decade.

Almost dying in the hospital did something to me. Now I'm just doing all the shit I never did but always wanted to do, and I'm doing it no matter what.

I've only been studying JP for 1.5 months and I'm roughly half way through N5. I'm going to do this no matter what. It's therapeutic right now and helping me deal with this rough patch in life while I pay off my debt and get back to baseline. I have no time to dwell on the negative because JP fills those thought-gaps. I'm going to make it and nobody can stop me.

Since last time you were interested in my song translation, here's another one, this time from JP to EN.
Song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19LP_j7JSUA
Translation:

If tomorrow were never to come,
And all were engulfed by eternal darkness just like this,
What words would I dare to spit
At my end in such a world?

Countless pasts come and go
On this starless tainted sky
After all the sacrifice, this rotten earth
Is nothing but a scenario full of scars

There's little, only so little left, for my feeble calls
To vanish with the night wind coursing through my chest
I cannot love anymore, yet for the first time in the end
I feel like I miss you, an irredeemable egoist,
In this saddeningly quiet night

(...)

There's little, only so little left, for my feeble calls
To vanish with the night wind coursing through my chest
I cannot love anymore, yet for the first time in the end
I feel like I miss you, an irredeemable egoist,

Ah I cannot laugh at this, tell me it is a dream,
Then take me back to the old days, to that old city sky
I cannot go back anymore, yet for the first time in the end
I feel like crying and clinging to something, to this fading loneliness
In this saddeningly quiet night

ばせdgpt

>>47863320
なんとかして = "somehow" or "by some means"
伝えないと = "must convey" or "have to tell"
so put together なんとかして伝えないと means something like "i have to find a way to tell/convey (something)" or "i must somehow get (this) across"
it's like when you really need to express something important, but you're not sure how! :3 it shows determination to communicate, even if it's tricky~

would you say japanese feels like a logically constructed and streamlined language? I'm a dekinai, but everything i learn about the language makes me feel as though it should be incredibly simple to acquire. there's barely any nonsensical bullshit, most of it pertains to random って filler and needing to interpret what's being talked about because the topic isn't outright stated after bring introduced.

Hi everyone. I decided that I wanted to learn Japanese and managed to learn hiragana in 3 days using Tofugu and a Kana quiz site. I was also using Ringotan as it helped me remember the stroke order. I had to stop learning because of my exams.

Now that I've finally got some free time, I decided to get back to it but I quickly got overwhelmed. I read guides like the Moe Way, Xelieu, Donkuri, Refold, downloaded the Kaishi 1.5k and Usagi Chan Phonetics deck on Ankidroid, watched YouTubers such as Livakivi, Matt VS Japan, Trenton《トレントン》, bookmarked resources like IMABI, Cure Dolly, Mokuro, Bilingual Manga Reader, Wotaku, Ankiconnect, downloaded Kiwi browser, Yomitan, ASB player, asb autosubs, Akebi, Jsho, Takoboto.

All this information and resources are both good but also really overwhelming. The guides have different approaches to immersion and learning Japanese as a whole. I really don't know where to get started. I also don't have access to my PC for a month so I'll have to do immersion on my Android using Kiwi browser but there's the issue with not being able to pause the video when the subtitles pop up and block the button.

Where do I go after learning Katakana? Do I immediately start watching anime with Japanese subs? Or do I learn Grammar? How much Grammar should I know? How many cure dolly videos? How many pages of IMABI? When do I start doing Anki?. How long will it take until I can actually watch anime without subs and read light novel's and manga?

Sorry for the rant. I'm just really confused and I hope the more experienced learners could guide me.

KEK. I think you got scammed.
Avoid Kaishi like a plague. It's trash. It's a soul-sucking, time-wasting, productivity-killing nightmare. But you know what's even worse? The authors and the community. The deck was created by a bunch of N6 shitters on Pisscord who don't know Japanese and have no idea how to learn Japanese properly. Self-proclaimed "experts" who will crucify you for not using their precious "optimized" decks.
Meanwhile, Ankidrone Foundation is over here, quietly being the best thing since sliced bread. Ankidrone Foundation is made by experts at AJATT. The authors actually care about Japanese learners, not just their own circlejerk.
Don't waste your time with Kaishi deck, anons. Make the get Ankidrone Foundation and thank me later.

why can a japanese child be fluent at age 5 with a vocab of 2000 while i can't be fluent with a vocab of 8000

That's expressive vocabulary they have closer to 10k-15k receptive. Your expressive vocab is way lower than theirs

they're fully receptive at that age

desu being an american must be horrible when learning this language. a native english speaker I mean. you grew up with a language that makes zero sense phonetically, no baseline for what any letter sounds like (see the poem "the chaos") and now you have to learn this language that actually requires consistent pronunciation. we've all heard english speakers pronounce Ryu as Raayou

You know I kind of like how expressive some Japanese words are

is tap water in japan not of drinkable quality?
im watching sangatsu no lion (also i just realized this episode that sangatsu refers to the neighborhood his 3 gfs live in) and he ran out of mizu so he decides he has to go to the supermarket to buy new omizu
>>
>>47869851
or do japanese people tend to refer to everything drinkable as mizu instead of nomimono?

actually there are huge empty jugs of water on the floor so it really is just plain mizu

not like anyone here would know that
>>
>>47870304
Yeah except you don't need to be fluent in the language to pass the N1, since you don't need to produce any Japanese at all and even the reading is shallow and artificial so that there's one, incontrovertible right answer. It's a standardized test, after all, or do you think the chinks in American universities (they all passed the TOEFL or IELTS at a high score) can speak English worth shit?

Do you HAVE to learn the individual readings of Kanji or can I just learn the kanji as I see them in my Anki deck? Learning the readings seem helpful, but is it totally necessary?

personally i don't care that much about privacy, but i care about talking to japanese people, so i use matrix and mastodon.
>>
>>47870506
Many of those are actually just metastasized stative verbs, unlike the Chinese (kanji) equivalent, which are, in fact, just adjectives. That's how you get verbs like 匂う and why a shitton of verbs like 酔っ払う are used mostly as way to describe how or what something is rather than what it is doing. Half of the others are just nouns chained together with にある or とある aka な・なる and たる. I actually am struggling to think of any pure adjectives.

timestamp the part where he said in the video that speaking is an optimal way to learn the language in a non expat environment negro. he stressed listening and vocab in isolation. why are people so comfortable with lying for the sake making themselves look good?

I also a video from this ankidrone autist:
https://youtu.be/oaoQtldLjx8
he didn't speak a lick of Japanese in the video, flopped around between scenes, and ultimately gave the same trash advice parroted in mainstream Japanese learning communities. That's going to be your average "learn Japanese" video on YouTube. Also, Matt became fluent in 2+ years, while the nig did it in 6 months.

Those aren't grammatical tenses, retard, you may as well make the claim that Chinese has tenses if all you want is "expressing meanings". The perfective form is not the past tense.

>>47870902
It's not a tense because the perfective and the past are two completely different things as evidenced by constructions like the future perfect (he will have done) and past continuous (he was doing). Which form of する translates to "he will have done" or "he had done"?
>>
>>47870951
hm makes sense
>>
you literally just watched a woman mogging at japanese lol?
and you have also heard other fluent non-native women you're just pretending you haven't

No modern mainstream grammarian says Japanese has a past tense. They at best claim it has a perfective aspect which can be used to describe things as having happened at some point in the past. There are 已然形・完了相・完結相, but there is no 過去形 in Japanese.
I have no fucking idea why I'm arguing with a namefag.

>>
women have beeeen mogging these male ecelebs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAzToceQHbI

women mog men on a metaphysical level

when women are better than males at anything the males just try to erase them and pretend they don't exist
recognized this pattern in male behavior
>>
>>47871019
you're not wrong
>>
>>47871022
true
becoming a woman like we did is the best idea

male variability hypothesis says that women mog men on average but extreme men mog extreme women
>>
>>47871016
i did and it says you can conjugate for tense sorry
>>
>>47871030
males can't become women unfortunately for them
>>
>>47871031
maybe but i don't even think matt is better than natchan or samantha at speaking on the fly and even dedicated turbo autists like qm don't sound anywhere as good as these women

those clearly are the extreme men then you retard

even someone like quiz who hedges a lot of his ego on his japanese ability just did maybe 10 hours of output total just so he could cope by saying natives understand him and he could quickly get better if he actually cared

they say that to cope
