Japanese Learning Thoughts Anonymous 02/28/21 (Sun) 18:48:41 No.67883[Reply][Last50 Posts]

I want to nakadashi *girl* has become a popular phrase on imageboards (mostly 4chan). But it's a mix of Japanese and English. If I was going to say "I want to cum inside Holo" fully in Japanese, how would I go about doing that? In the English sentence, nakadashi is a loan word and it is the action being done, but in Japanese I don't think 中出し is a verb. Can it be verbified by adding する to it? And then you conjugate it to say you "want" to do it. So the end result would be 私はホロで中出ししたい which would translate to I want to cum inside Holo. Am I correct?

Japanese is fun to learn.

At the last section of Essential Grammar in Tae Kim. This theory stuff is really starting to get impractical.
Core 2000 part 2 should be done today as well.

Meaning time to create a new plan that can get me to a JLPT4 standard. One with like no theoretical learning.
Core 2000 part 3 is supposed to be the most complicated words in the set. I remember getting stumped on some of them in the past. But overall, just switch to reading and pulling out important words from literature and media. Then doing vocabulary memorization of those

Here are some other kanji that might also confuse you due to font differences.
For these kanji in particular, I found these pages helpful for better understanding what these differences are and why they exist:

I keep getting filtered by kanji. I had learned katakana in 2023 using Duolingo and now I learned it again but I don't know what to do next because kanji is too much for my retard brain.

Delete Duol*ngo from your internet history, for your own good. It does not teach grammar, it teaches you how to reorder words how they want you to and it is not good. It is not good for learning kanji or words either.
Learn some basic grammar, learn to recognize a few hundred kanji and some thousand or two thousand words, and start reading erotic novels about little girls going to the park and eating ice cream. You might wanna start with a manga though, pictures can help with context in the beginning until you get used to things. Mokuro (ocr manga) is great in combination with Yomitan (web browser hover over any word for dictionary lookup).

For grammar, maybe read through tae kim.
You can also try DOJG and DOJG deck
https://core6000.neocities.org/dojg/
https://dojgdeck.neocities.org/
It will streamline your learning a bit if you need a kick in the back to know where to walk in the beginning.

If you really REALLY struggle to tell kanji apart you can try something like https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1722008986 this "radical" deck to learn some basic components. The names are not official and they are not actually radicals.
After that I think kaishi 1.5k is maybe better than core 2k or core6k https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1196762551 but I honestly didn't use either of them so I can't say for sure. I just know kaishi is suposed to be hyper specific for people who want to start immersing immediately which everyone should want to.
You'll want to mine your own words anyways, it's easier when your reviews and new words are all words you've recently tried reading. Misunderstandings can be cleared up over time when a sentence doesn't make sense with context, then you look into the word causing issues due to multiple meanings or a vaguely different meaning than you thought.

snacks thread Anonymous 04/26/25 (Sat) 15:45:22 No.151989 [Reply]

I don't know if this really can develop into a full thread, but I wanted to share the secret to great stream popcorn that I found recently and didn't really think it fit any thread. I got pure coconut oil with beta carotine and some flavacol melted and mixed into a kettle/pan and I add some popcorn kernels then heat it up. Produces a shitload of movie theater quality or better popcorn for less than it'd cost you to get a microwave pack. Absolutely love it and recommend anyone who likes popcorn try it out too.

I don't eat snacks, but my Father came down with a type of kidney disease that caused him to have to cut salt down to below recommended daily values which basically changed his eating habits. Something my mother got for him were these dried corn stuff.

They're not very exciting but the texture is nice and has good crunchyness.

I make these really yummy 'poor man's pizzas'. Get some english muffins, pizza sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you desire. Cut muffins in half. Add sauce and cheese+toppings. Bake at 375F for 10-15 minutes.

It's cheap and tastes really good. It's how I broke my habit of buying those over prices frozen french bread pizzas. In fact, making pizza at home in general is very cheap and easy. I can't believe people pay $20+ for large pizzas when they're so easy to make at home.

Kissu Shops & Thrifts Anonymous 04/17/25 (Thu) 05:27:17 No.144746 [Reply]

Has Kissu found any interesting stores or picked anything up recently?

If not, I highly recommend you explore your local area! I especially recommend checking out non-chain thrift stores; they often have things you won't find elsewhere because they're not as picked over. If you need to get out of the house, it can also be fun to hit up chain thrift stores -- if you go regularly, you'll eventually come across something unique or rare that catches your interest.

Comic book stores, used bookstores, and foreign retailers are also great places to visit!

If you found something you want to share that you found or purchased online, go ahead!

To add onto that, check Facebook Marketplace. Your area might have peopel selling things there, it's normie filled but that's good because they usually don't know what they have. Unfortunately it is Facebook.

Estate sales let you take out the middleman. It's how my sister furnished her apartment with real furniture instead of cheap plastic crap. The main issue is that you need to be ready to hit them at any moment, including at 6AM or the very second you hear of it so it's a very hectic way of doing things.
I should have paid more attention during covid since I think quite a few small nerd shops must have had clearance sales before closing for good.

It’s pretty much furniture stores when I look those up. I know stores that sell anime figures in my area, but I tend to find them overpriced. The only thing I would consider buying from those are anime keychains and acrylic stands since it’s not worth the price to import those. But then again, I did spend like 60 to import a coaster and 80 for a Dark Magician Girl card. The only thrift stores I shop at are book stores.

First time eating beef stew after it was frozen for a bit. It's, uh.. huh. It's not as flavorful, but the texture isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The main issue is the the water seemed to separate from the other ingredients in the broth so it's like stew chunks in water. Edible.
I'd do it again.

I tried making some steak.............

And upon reflection I think I really should have seasoned it before putting it on the grill, actually let it defrost instead of getting impatient and trying to defrost 3 fused together steaks over an open fire, and then I probably should've realized I didn't need it to look charry on the outside before it was done. Taking it our when it was brown probably would've been sufficient. At least the egg yolk made it somewhat edible.

Mostly flavorless I think, maybe a bit earthy? People add them to smoothies and other things as a nutrition boost that doesn't really impact anything else. After looking at the bag I got the hemp seeds are "hulled" so I'm not sure if that impacts anything.

OP, i think you got this entirely backwards.

You're looking at 04:00 UTC, but in china, indonesia, and india, this would be around 09:30 - 12:00 local time, a time when most of these would be at work or on other day activities.
A more correct time to look at would be when these groups are actually free and at home, I.E. in the afternoon/evening in their own timezone. And 13:00 UTC would be around 18:30 - 21:00 in their local time, a time when most of these groups have probably gotten home and able to play games.
13:00 UTC is also about 08:00 in CST, a time when most americans have just woken up for work, and 14:00 in CET, and time when europeans are still at work. Few of which that are probably playing games on steam.
Yet, guess when peak steam player count happens (in UTC)?

Sometimes it’s beneficial to be able to come out and communicate a bit. For example, just today I held back vomiting when approaching a neighbor about picking up some brush on her curb. And she said it was fine to take! So I got myself a shitload of good firewood for no cost at all.

Now you may be thinking to yourself, “That’s impossible! I can’t do that!”, but trust me, you can. It’s pretty easy too, only took me a bit over a month to work up the resolve to ask!

Set up the crappy shed for wood I bought and then transferred all my logs into it, also noticed that my fireplace is completely dead so guess I'll try and use some stone to make a new and improved stone fireplace that I've been wanting to make for a while now. Also got to chopping some of the more aged pieces and non-aged pieces and realized that I should really let wet ones age because it's FUCKING impossible to chop them, at least easily.

Doing lots to help reduce my Vitamin D deficiency lately.

Some tips for newfriends Anonymous 05/03/25 (Sat) 17:03:53 No.153350 [Reply]

There's a lot of people here from 4chan, so I figured it would be good to have a thread to inform them about aspects of the site, both as a format and as a culture, that they might not be aware of. Some of these are going to be useful tips, others are just fun bits of trivia. If you have any of these of your own, please feel free to contribute.

>i don't know (...) what [sage] is supposed to mean
sage comes from 2channel; here's the explanation: https://pmakino.jp/channel5/misc/2chbible.html#sage
On 2ch, it's like this:
- 上げ (age) means bumping
- 下げ (sage) means not bumping

上 (ue) means up and 上げる (ageru) means to raise.
下 (shita) means down and 下げる (sageru) means to lower.
(下げ (sage) can be confusing to some people because they might think that to sage a thread means to lower it, but in the context of image boards, it really just means that a thread is not bumped by a post/posts.)

Japanese language is so good with the context around the language that it's obvious it's the passage of time bringing a thread down, it's not from someone not dragging it up... I'm mostly serious right now.

Where does noko come from? Is it related to ここ?
