DJT is a thread for asking questions about and discussion of the japanese language and how to learn it

Native content and linguistic information can be found on google.com

What are platforming games called in japanese?
>>
>>48760168
横スクロールアクションゲーム for 2d
3dアクション for 3d
>>
koto is one of those words that is so basic and completely easy to understand when reading or listening
But using it yourself seems so unnatural
>>
>>48760227
a surface level understanding of the language is obviously easier to attain than the full understanding and 慣れ needed to naturally output

action games? that's pretty vague. What about stuff like "platforming section" or the act of platforming?

>>48760168
same as english プラットフォーム・ゲーム

not only that it also can help your application get noticed

none of the jobs ive had in japan really knew what it was or cared

do you really think i make my own screenshots

why would you post someone elses english subbed screenshots? lmfao
>>48760359
>So platforming section would be something like プラットフォームセクション right?
i dont see why not though youd probably refer to those parts as a プラットフォーミング要素
>What about doing platforming
ジャンプする would be the preferred term for the act itself but the actual mechanic is called プラットフォーミング

hi nora! ive been a little busy taking care of my wife so i havent had time to watch but really happy that youre making great progress with the game

nora here, another milestone

just finished my last pokemon red card.

here's a side by side comparison of my before/after for anki cards at the time of me finishing pokemon red, to now

look at all this progress!!
>>
>>48760570
then why are you here?
>>
>>48760571
i'm worried, this means metal gear solid is coming soon.... (涙)

why did i mine metal gear solid...why....when will i ever use those words?!
>>
>>48760583
its called the daily japanese thread not the daily learn japanese thread lil loser
>>
>>48760590
what do you mean, didn't you play metal gear solid?
>>
>>48760592
so you are japanese? or have you never learned anything? or is there nothing left for you to learn?
>>
>>48760595
>didn't you play metal gear solid?

i beat mgs1 in japanese.

those words are coming soon...lots of kanji that talks about american politics...stuff i'll never actually need outside of playing the game.
>>
>>48760600
man you write like a freaking esl fakeshit
take some english lessons lmao
>>
>double rice

>>
>>48760603
if you like stuff like metal gear solid you have a use for them. for example, you played metal gear solid
>>
>>48760611
not clicking sorry
>>
>>48760617
it'll help if i play more mgs games sure

for now, the next series of cards coming to my anki are from ocarina of time, that was the game i played after pokemon red.

i don't remember the japanese in ocarina being too challenging, but we'll see
>>
>>48760603
i also recently played mgs in japanese and i would recommend you dont do those cards atm
i saw you hover 限界 on stream and 不足 the other day
you have more important things to learn first
>>
noras learning the language faster than fakeshit lol
>>
>>48760631
my sequence of games, iirc, was..

>pokemon red
>ocarina of time
>ib
>metal gear solid
>sailor moon

spent a few hours yesterday playing league so i think ill double the new words i learn today to make up for my fooling around
was tired at noon and tried to take a nap so i could study more efficiently and its 7pm no its over
>>
>>48761089
do you actually clock how many hours you study? Like do you have a spreadsheet or something for daily hours and cumulative time spent learning? Then what do you consider learning? does reading VN slop count? does untranslated anime count?
>>
>>48761166
sort of. i just have been keep an awareness of the hours in my head but dont keep a record. i just count anything untranslated becuase my reading level is low

I don`t normally like asking questions, but I'm kind of stuck and couldn't find any answers online.
A:激務続きの諸君らには丁度良い骨体めになるだろう。
B:分かりました。せいぜい骨体めをさせて頂きます。
I'm somewhat confused about 骨体め and even more about the め in it. The context is A giving a mission to B, his subordinate, and his team. Both characters respect each other and are friends despite the difference in rank.
If anyone could give any insight, I would greatly appreciate.

Give it a shot and find out.

>>48761397
It's easy by novel standards but it will still be hard if it's your first novel. . Not the yuzuge I would recommend personally either but a lot of people adore it so you should try it.
>>
>七光り
>おばあちゃんの七光りで どこ行っても特別扱いなのも嫌だし
>benefiting from the influence of a master or parent
does this mean benefitting from the influence they have on you directly or benefitting from the influence they wield in the world (i.e. providing connections and opportunities)?
>>
>>48761450
The latter, but not because of them pulling the strings for you, but because strangers from their own end give you special treatment because of who your family is. The sort of thing that made the creator of Beastars hide the fact that she was Baki man's daughter

if you don't have someone tutoring you the best way to get a good accent is in addition to listening for thousands of hours to study phonology of the language and drill the difficult parts until the conscious knowledge becomes subconsciously used in speech
it's not really a fun or intuitive process because it requires you to actively work against what your brain and mouth have optimized for and unless you really need a good accent probably not worth it
>>
>>48761397
compelling content that you have an active interest in is always easier than easy boring content

the stream proved all you did was get good at some n1 kanji reading quiz LOL
>>
>>48762681
if anything it proves that your way of rating someone (single clips where someone got stuck or misread something from a multi hour reading stream) isn't a very accurate way of judging someones japanese knowledge
most of this thread couldn't read two lines fluently, the most valiant attempt was by jamal with the auto furigana who reads 私の方 as わたしのかた and just keeps going like nothing happened
>>
>>48762731
nta but true i think the average djter would do similar or worse including you rn
doesnt make it better
>>
>>48762731
it proves you know jack shit
>>
>>48762756
if i streamed rn i would read more fluently in general but i imagine i would be worse at difficult kanji because i haven't done anki in a few years and that's the stuff you forget first
the real question is why it matters at all how i would do when my general level is that i can pick up any japanese otaku content im interested in and enjoy it on the same or almost the same level as a native without any lookups, some of you guys are just weird in the head regarding your expectations of how good someone should be or will realistically become, especially someone like me who has never even been to japan
>>
>>48762783
do you feel like your studying was worth the time investment?
>>
>>48762798
oh definitely, being able to just watch any anime and actually getting what they say without trannylations twisting everything around is a great experience, and the same applies to video games, manga, LNs, you just know you are getting the authentic experience
i've had less time recently to dedicate to enjoyment of such content but i do something every day like watch an episode of anime or read a bit of light novel/manga on my phone and when a new game comes out i'm interested from japan it's the full experience so yeah it was definitely worth it for me
also just consider that i didn't study that much, most of my studying was enjoying content and just making cards while enjoying that content
>>
you would think he studied how to be a dekinai

he is asking a question. it's about the koto. i have my own definition for what koto means that i'm following and it makes everything make sense about it to me...

he wants to know if the koto being questioned is correct. you can derive "is it the case that X" for X koto here.

what is the koto in question?

'did you unreasonably buy those items' is marked by koto, and that koto is marked by nanka

boop..incorrect. koto marks an experience. When people say -koto to mean they did something at one time... 'sono koto ga aru nda' -i did that before.

>BUT THATS A DIFFERENT GRAMMAR PATTERN
it's Japanese. koto means the same thing in every utterance it's possibly said in. Cure dolly would argue that.

So how do we stretch -sono koto ga aru nda' to mean 'muri shite kau koto nanka'. Again, koto means the same exact thing in every utterance it's possibly said in...it's the same koto. he's asking if the koto was correct.

ok so basically “koto” is this weird black hole in grammar that sucks up your verb and spits it out as some vaguely abstract concept, and “nanka” is like a passive-aggressive scoff that makes you sound annoyed without even trying. if you think you've got them figured out, sorry—you still don't know japanese. no one does.

our relationship deviates at this point...

i'll just tell you i was like this at the beginning. I wanted to be accepted by Japan, and do everything in accordinance with Japan. Religion, Society, Language, everything Japanese.

This stems back to when i first started learning japanese years ago...not this current attempt. I would argue 'the japanese sounds have meaning, and mean the same thing in every situation'. I could feel it, but I couldn't prove it.

well, years passed and i dropped out of university which marks my re-entry to /djt/ a year ago, and i started with Genki. I was hoping I could learn the language in English then get rid of the English later and make it Japanese.

But now i'm at the old (mistake) of assuming I know the japanese meaning of koto. This brings us to our situation here.

I do not think a native japanese person would say -koto turns a thing into a noun. That 'noun' thing is an english construction after all.

Unko, i hate to say it, but you're religiously bound to the english language, maybe it's something you aren't allowed to understand. That there's other systems in foreign language than the english one.

>language and concepts have objective meaning

lmao. are you literally arguing this?

We can't even PROVE why Japanese words mean X, becuase 'X' literally exists outside of japanese written language, and is exclusive to 'Old Japanese'.

Objectivity requires proof. Since Japanese was originally a spoken language only, the 'origins' of the japanese kotoba remain a mystery today. It's the matter of opinion.

Did you read the Kojiki?

>>48768362

>>
>>48768276
well こと is semantically complex like 授業中は静かにすること signalizes an order or strong suggestion and there's many more things it can mean it's one of those things you can look in the dictionary for and see 20 different things but yeah at least one of those meanings is doesn't mean shit and it's just grammar

>>48768318
well we should still be aware that all that grammar stuff is essentially just models someone made up and they apply some more some less to different languages and yeah we can definitely observe things in japanese which describing them as nouns and verbs makes sense but anything more complex and it's essentially all interpretability and arbitrary for example depending on your school of grammar you could say that 食べられる is one verb with some conjugation which would be a very western way of looking at it, another thing you could say is it's tabe and rareru is actually it's own verb that attaches to the base form of other verbs and what about pronouns? we see pronouns exist in English sure but in Japanese it's just nouns and we could break these categories even more, going back to the base verb of verbs if we look at something like 読む what is it, is it yomi or is it actually yom because that's the common connection (but you can't even express it in hiragana so japs are lost on this one) and i is actually an independent grammar structure
ultimately we should remember that linguists are basically full of shit and not really worth paying attention to

you could imagine someone making a big deal out of him going to japan and the speaker being dismissive about it

perhaps a different way to interpret my message is that we should be more lenient with beginners, ultimately it will take hundreds of hours to understand the deep nuances of complex structures like こと and なんか so even though this sentence is obvious to us, to someone with a thousand hours less input it will be puzzling
>>
>>48768459
ah okay i figured as much
just wanted to make sure you knew i wasnt arguing for some kind of regressive or overly simplistic understanding of koto

>>
>>48768470
thanks, ultimately this thread is far better off and more productive if we all treat each other as beginners who are simply prone to mistakes by the nature of being jsls, i might be an advanced beginner while the person having trouble with koto might be an intermediate beginner
>>
yep lol
>>
>>48768466
im normally pretty patient with beginners but the know-it-all attitude is what sets me off
when the meaning of whole sentences is getting changed because "duurrr thats just the way japanese people think about it" then i get a lil indignant
>>
>>48768418
>oh boy lil nora you missed the GA ARU part of it you fucking retard

no i didn't. they're asking if the koto is there...

is the 'experience' of unreasonably buying the items there, or is it something else (the domain of なにか)

you can translate なにか as 'or something' here..there's multiple koto's it could be. i still won't budge on my translation.

koto ga aru nda doesn't mean "is the thing there?" which your logic suggests.
>>
>>48768482
there is no "experience" being referred to in the .hack sentence hes just talking about the act of purchasing something
the "experience" part of the koto ga aru expression is coming from that specific construction
koto ga aru literally suggests "thing A has happened" or "there has been a time when thing A occurred"
god youre so frustrating

>>
>>48768549
i literally just said that
>>
>>48768553
this is the first time i'm reading cure dolly's explanation of koto. i'm going to defer to cure dolly.

she says it means it refers to an act. for example, the act of going to japan, rather than an experience. So, i'm wrong. If we consider it to mean an act, then yes it should be illogical and ungramattical for nanika to mean 'Is this your act or is there some other act here'? In other words, they're not questioning the unko, and nanka is kind of like a sentence enhancer here.

sorry to make you mad unko, i trust cure dolly so i'll not question it.

>>48769506
When I think about it I probably didn't understand it in English when I was a kid. Really I have no idea what I did and didn't understand. I think I just played it and didn't even care what I understood and didn't if that makes any sense.

Also why does Zelda always use words like 悪しき. What even is that? They use these weird speech patterns. Why not use the normal words?

>>48769952
can you not see how asking a woman to record something for an online troll is not worth it
>>
>>48769977
yeah i can imagine how awkard that would be considering she doesnt exist
>>
>>48769982
so how do you explain my zairyuu card saying im married to a japanese citizen
>>
how easy would japanese be if kanji were not a problem?
>>
>>48770039
how do you explain why you blurred out details like the name?
>>
>>48770062
a hell of a lot easier than it is now
>>
>>48770071

>just doxx your wife online bro
are you retarded perhaps?
its a wonder he even posted something
>>
>>48770063
i didnt blur my whole name and its pretty unique especially considering the timestamp, newspaper and djt written
>>
>>48770074
early malicious
>>
>>48770079
he already did lil bro
>>48770084
why blur it at all if youre just gonna post your jlpt test results with it unblurred?
>>
>>48770123
i dont see how that invalidates anything
>>
>>48770176
it shows that youre hiding details on some of the documents due to them being fake

nooo, you are supposed to autisticly do AJATT 8 hours everyday, like our messiah katsumoto or it's not worth it.
>>
>>48774922
tbf the khatz output video still btfos anything matt ever made
>>
is it possible to learn 日本語 without ever touching anki?
>>
>>48775358
yes but you need to ask djt first
>>
should I just brute force my way through games and books even though I barely know like, 80 words, kanji included?
>>
>>48775442
idk do you want to?
>>
>>48775451
yeah, just not sure if it would be worth it. for games, it would probably be something simple like pokémon, maybe legends arceus with furigana
>>
>>48775461
try it
>>
>>48775442
so long as you look up and understand everything i dont see why not
but if youre planning whitenoise everything and expect the language to learn itself then no
>>
>>48775726
understanding everything from the start is impossible
>>
>>48775730
it is not actually
literally every word and piece of grammar is available online
>>
>>48775781
you still wont be able to truly understand nuances at all though
>>
>>48775806
what actual nuances would be lost? i doubt it would be any more than reading a translation would
>>
>>48775826
i remember tons of sentences where i just didnt quite understand the meaning because my understanding of a word or a particle was limited
sure i could have looked at a translation and i did sometimes but that doesnt make you understand it it only tells you how you should have understood it at best
going back to those things now i do understand them so i think the idea you should understand everything from the start is dumb and actually hurts learning
>>
>>48775844
thats because you didnt bother to actually read and learn what the dictionaries and grammar explanations were trying to say
you probably roughly skimmed everything acted like you understood
>>
>>48775889
well yeah reading grammar is less fun than partly understanding media so i rushed tae kim and started immersing
>>
>>48775905
yup and thats why youre wrong in thinking a beginner couldnt understand anything
the truth was YOU didnt understand anything because YOU didnt study
>>
>>48775936
i said everything not anything at least follow the conversation
and my point still stands thats its not necessary like you said it is
id also like to take this opportunity to yet again point out the lack of vocaroos from you
>>
>>48775945
you said "truly understand nuances at all" which would imply most if not all nuance would be lost on the learner
also wheres that wife vocaroo if youre so desperate to hear my voice again?
>>
>>48775968
i think its much more understable that i dont want to get my wife on vocaroo than it is than you cant make one
>>
>>48775981
shes your wife my dude not the president
is your wife a famous youtuber or something? lol
>>
>>48775990
its not about her being doxxed its about not wanting to tell her about this thread it would honestly be embarrassing
>>
>>48775997
just tell her its a discord server for you and your buddies
>>
>>48776038
just lie to your wife bro
>>
>>48776062
sure i mean you lie about everything else
>>
>>48776077
like what
>>
>>48776094
coming here for one
