No.71793
>>71780I agree Kanji is difficult, but I enjoy learning the grammar.
No.71794
>>71793Other way around for me. Kanji are cool and fun to learn whereas grammar is much more messy and frustrating. If I don't know a kanji it is easy enough to look it up and learn it whereas that's much harder to do for points of grammar, and grammar can be used very flexibly whereas kanji is much more rigid so simple rote learning isn't typically good enough for it. Kanji also make it easier to learn new words with them since it helps them stand out from the million other similar sounding words (compare that to the fucking nightmare that onomatopoeic words are to remember and distinguish), and allows you to have a decent guess at the meaning of new words you read without having to look them.
No.71795
>>71794I don't know. The fact that most kanji have different readings/pronunciation based on the word they're in is what I really struggle with. Also some of them are extremely similar and my brain mixes up which one it's supposed to be.

No.71799
>>71795>The fact that most kanji have different readings/pronunciation based on the word they're in Why would that make it any harder to learn new words than if there were no kanji? Just memorize the 1-2 most common on'yomi for the kanji when learning the kanji for the first time, since those are what are going to be used in the vast majority of words using it (kun'yomi typically being distinct to a particular word and anything derived from that), and then when learning new words that use the kanji you just have to remember the particular pronunciation of the word. The only added difficulty compared to learning kana-only words is that you have to tie the right kanji to the pronunciation, but given it has to share either a meaning (most useful for kun'yomi words where the kanji stands by itself and the word means roughly the same as the kanji) or reading (most useful for on'yomi words since you should already have learnt these pronunciations along with the kanji) with the kanji that shouldn't be too hard to get down.
>Also some of them are extremely similar and my brain mixes up which one it's supposed to be.The best way I find to solve that is to take note of which kanji you commonly get confused, study which parts are different between them and then try to look out for those particular features when you come across one of them. Even if you frequently get two kanji confused though, as long as you know both of them then you can often tell them apart by context since most of the time they aren't going to be able to appear in words together with the same other kanji (single kanji words are obviously an exception to that).
No.71800
>>71796No. I study words though Anki. But words like 日、明日、木曜日、毎日 all have different pronunciations of 日. Not that I mess simple words like these up, but that's what I mean.
>>71799When I first come across a new word, my brain associates that pronunciation with the kanji, and then when I learn a new word with the same kanji that has a different pronunciation, I have difficulty linking that new pronunciation with it. It's something that I know I'll eventually just memorize due to repetition, but it feels like it slows down my learning a lot because I default to the wrong thing.

ドラゴンの退治をしたジークフリートや、日本の那須与一などです。
英雄とは、伝説に残り、民衆から畏怖や羨望の目で見られ、崇められる者のことです。
ウェールズを統治したアーサー王や、魔王と恐れられた織田信長がこれにあたります。
大きな違いは、
勇者はほとんどの場合、悪者を退治する、多勢に単騎で挑むこと。
それに反して、英雄は多少悪者であっても英雄と呼ばれることがあること。
又、その人自身は戦わずとも、戦が上手ければ英雄と呼ばれるということです。Rough translation:
A 「勇者」 is one who is courageous (has courage/勇気).
Examples: Siegfried, who slayed dragons, and Nasu no Yoichi from Japan('s history).
An 「英雄」 is one who remains in legend and is looked upon and revered with awe and envy by the people.
Examples: King Arthur, who ruled Wales, and Oda Nobunaga, who was feared as a demon king.
The main difference is,
a 「勇者」 almost always defeats the bad guys, single-handedly taking on the multitudes.
On the other hand, 「英雄」 are sometimes called heroes even if they are somewhat bad guys.
Also, even if the person himself does not fight, he can be called an 「英雄」 if he is good at fighting. No.81105
"勇者" is probably more literally translated as "brave", but that has a lot of native american connotations to it so I think people often use "hero" instead. Still, you sometimes get things like GaoGaiGar勇者の王 which got localized as GaoGaiGar King of the Braves.

Most games can be machine translated, text can be OCR translated, most anime and manga get professionally translated. Unless you're really into a niche of the above or want to/actively speak to Japanese people then there's no reason to go through the effort of learning the language.

They probably do not feel it's a good use of their time to learn the language.
However, if someone says they want to listen to a radioshow then this person has no other option than to learn Japanese.

Most of the culture shown in media is just that, culture shown in media, enough exposure to Japanese media and you'll "get it", that does not require living in Japan. Sure, you might miss some of the references, but your understanding is still closer to the source than someone reading the translation.

Many Japanese musicians label their cover/arrangement of it with the mismatched "風の憧憬 / Wind Scene". Even Square Enix did so for this cover album. But I think that's because "Wind Scene" has already become the more common name, not because it's the more accurate translation.

Some time ago I finished my first RAW 'nime, Nazo no Kanojo X. Solid paraphiliac romcom, do recommend. Dialogue was overall pretty simple. HOWEVER, the subs on Kitsunekko had some really weird stuff going on, so here's an edited version in case anyone's interested, including the old subs for comparison:
https://files.catbox.moe/kp0cw6.7zWhat do you guys think? I wrote a changelog detailing all of the changes, though some of them may questionable, so I'd like to hear any opinions on it. If the new ones are alright, should I try to contact the Itazuraneko folks so they can add it to their mega or something?
(Oh, I recommend [RASETSU] since it has two different English subs, you can cross-reference between those and deepl's translations which is incredibly useful. BUT it has the dub baked in so watch out for that.)

>>99278Nice. You may already know about this site, but I find it useful too:
https://www.gavo.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ojad/kouzokugo>>99958I think the weirdness stems from the fact that it's not a rip of professional closed captions made by Japanese people but rather a transcription done by non-native speakers. If I remember correctly, Kamigami is a Chinese sub group.
>Added a space between instances of particle な coming before quotation って, to differentiate from the conjugated verb なって.This strikes me as a bit weird to do. I don't think I normally see this.
And you missed several such instances. You also missed some places where the changes っ→つ and ッ→ツ should have been applied. Also, 手当て→手当 (even though either one seems to be acceptable).
>Changed ヶ into かヶ is also acceptable. It's read as か in ○ヶ月.

Something short and interesting that I'd like to point out, which I don't believe typical textbooks ever cover, is that in Japanese all morae that have an /i/ are palatalized. That is to say, you either articulate the sound at the same spot where you'd pronounce a /y/, or you add one between the consonant and the vowel:
ko so to no ho mo
ku su tsu nu fu mu
kyi ɕi tɕi ɲ̟i çi myi
Meaning that in the same way that the sound /si/ doesn't exist and instead there's only /shi/, the sound /ni/ doesn't exist either, there is only a /nyi/. In fact it's not even a /nyi/, it's /ɲ̟i/, another consonant that alongside /ɕ/ does not exist in English. This is hard to notice because /y/ and /i/ are so close to each other, but that's precisely why this occurs in the first place. They move their tongue towards the place where you'd pronounce a /i/ before it's actually pronounced, which is why the consonant gets moved as well.
I hate it, but that's how it is.
No.100783
Another thing I want to cover is a couple odd things that happen with /z/, for which I'll have to explain some phonetics concepts.
First, let's start with what a consonant is. There's two types of sounds everyone is familiar with, consonants and vowels. The difference between the two is that the latter is a sound you emit by simply letting air pass through your mouth while placing your tongue in different positions, while the former consists of blocking air in some way. A "stop" consonant is one which blocks air entirely, such as /p/, /k/, and /t/. They're also called "plosives", because you generate a sort of explosion when you let go. Another important type is "fricatives", sounds made through friction, by partially blocking air, like in /h/, /s/, or /f/. Airflow is only somewhat blocked, enough for it to make a notable sound.
Then there's affricates, made by combining a stop with a fricative. つ is an example of this, made up of a /t/ bound to a subsequent /s/, /t͡su/. Notice the link above the two. There's a pretty common affricate in English that you already know, /ch/. This one's made up of /t/ and /sh/, you'll notice that if you hold the sound it becomes the lone fricative /sh/. Now, just like the /ta/'s counterpart is /da/ and /su/'s is /zu/, you also have the pair of /tsu/ and /dzu/. What happened in Standard Japanese is that at one point all /z/ morae combined with /dz/, all the ones that you see written with /z/ actually stand for both a fricative and an affricate. The same can be seen with じ as it's also part of the /z/ group, /tshi/ and /dji/ merged as well, so that じ equals ぢ just like ず equals づ. Thus you get ずっと pronounced as /dzutto/, 自分 as /djibun/, and ぼっち・ざ・ろっく as Bocchi DZA rokku.
These morae can techincally be pronounced as affricates in any part of the word, though it's in the middle of one that it's mostly realized as just /z/. Typically, まず will be pronounced as /mazu/ in good part because it's simpler, but you're not gonna get any stares if you say /madzu/, natives themselves do it every so often. Usually, though, affricates are more or less obligatory in two positions: at the start of a word, and after ん. In these cases, ずっと can only ever be pronounced as /dzutto/, never as /zutto/. 感じ must always be /kandji/. Something identical happens in English, where "June" is pronounced not as /juun/ but /djuun/, they're also affricates at the start of a word. However, this alternation isn't something either group of native speakers notice, because even though they're two different sounds, they're grouped into the same phoneme.
However, gairago breaks the rules, like it does all the time. Quoting from Labrune:
>In a number of very recent loans, a realization as [dɯ] distinct from that of [zɯ] is appearing, as illustrated in the already cited example duu itto yuaserufu [dɯ:ittojɯaˡseɾɯϕɯ] {do it yourself}.

Having used Anki for a good 2-3 years, I have (about a year ago) come to a realization about the effectiveness of Anki for remembering kanji.
As you go on using Anki, you're quite clearly remembering all the hundreds, if not thousands of kanji vocabulary cards you're going through everyday. However, I personally have found it somewhat difficult to read/write them in my everyday life, for example when playing VNs in Japanese.
I believe this is because all the vocabulary/kanji you learn with Anki are stored in your brain under the context of Anki; tagged as "anki" in the kanjibooru of your brain, if you will. Meaning that, when you see a card, your brain has a precise sub-database of kanji to look through i.e. the set of kanji tagged as "anki". On the other hand, when you encounter a kanji outside the context of Anki, your brain has to look through a much more broader database of kanji, where the entries can range from a random kanji you saw on a billboard in the background of a manga panel to a specific kanji card in an Anki deck. Therefore, increasing the chances of you drawing a blank.
Now, I know Anki is not the end all be all of remembering written Japanese, and that it's my fault for dedicating time to Anki instead of practical Japanese usage, but still an interesting experience.
No.101018
>>101015There does exist some research to back this up, if I remember correctly.
Spaced repetition is based on making strong links between a specific stimulus and the thing you want to recall, you see A, you think of B. Simple as.
But the thing is that all stimuli take place _within a certain environment_, and so one can very easily fall into the trap of the trap of putting absolutely everything into Anki, only to later find out it doesn't work quite as well as expected, because even though months may pass and you'll still be able to recognize _the card_, that won't mean you'll be able to recognize the _word itself_ out in the wild. This is important, because the time spent setting up cards and reviewing them is non-trivial, so you gotta make sure to make good use of it by being in contact with real spoken Japanese as well. (It's also not going to teach you to write, just to recognize.)
Fully agree with the last part. I've used WaniKani to great effect (for which there is RIGHT NOW a big lifetime sub discount (though the platform is borderline unusable without addons and supplements)), but even if it's absolutely amazing at helping you remember stuff, yeah, it still won't make you the end-all be-all kanji master you need to be to achieve truly fluent reading.

In case anyone is in the same situation as >>>/jp/47750 and would like to learn about a convenient little tool for instantaneous rune lookup, allow me to introduce you to Yomichan:
https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan/It works like this: you install the addon, you upload a dictionary through its settings, then just mouse over some scribbles while pressing shift or control and BAM there's your instant dictionary right there. Incredible stuff.
These are the dictionaries I have saved:
https://files.catbox.moe/3379ya.zipIt's a tweaked version of this bigger collection:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TRylrqtoYi2hW9dAjci5cugNzde_WRTMMinus some broken things, the RU/ZH dicts, and the bigger monolingual files so I could make it fit into catbox, while adding a couple like kireicake which is the same as the JMdict but better. Personally, these are the ones I regularly use:
https://files.catbox.moe/jqp9dr.7zSometimes I check the Meikyou and Daijirin as well, but the Oubun and Shinmeikai do a pretty damn job at covering things in general. The former has a short intro at the top of complex entries to give an idea of the word's meaning in general and often features sections where it explains nuanced differences between this and that word/kanji, while the Shinmeikai tends to be quite short with zero examples but very interesting explanations. Don't be afraid to use deepl for MTL, I do it fairly often and it works pretty well, though you do need to double check sometimes.
Something to keep in mind is that Japanese dictionaries give you a list of
definitions, while English ones have a list of
synonyms. A great example is that of 生み出す, for which kireicake says:
>to create, to bring forth, to produce, to invent, to think up and bring into being, to give birth to, to bearWhile the Shinmeikai says:
>(一)生む。>(二)新しく作り出す。First one is as simple as can be. But the second, that one in particular I really like, it's extremely concise. Covers the entirety of kirei's list with just two words.
So yeah, it's an excellent tool and I love it. It's even got Anki integration. Pic unrelated.

You know all those weird characters that are the same as a completely different one, except they have an extra stroke? That stroke surprisingly does have a meaning, and it's basically to say that it's more than the base, there's an increment somehow. For example:
大 - a front-facing BIG stickman
太 - a dude that's more than big, a FATTIE
皿 - a VASE/PLATE
血 - a vase now full of BLOOD, 'cause sacrificial stuff
水 - a river and its WATER
永 - more than a river, an unending, ETERNAL stream
The common counter-examples to this are 氷 (which is 冰 compressed), 犬 (a picture of a dog that got simplified into oblivion), and the unholy trinity of 王/玉/主. What happened to those three was this:
- 王's bottom was originally curved, possibly related to an axehead, but ultimately got flattened
- 玉 is actually the original 王, maybe a string of jadestones (for both form and meaning see 玨), that later got extra strokes added to differentiate it from 王
- 主 used to be just a torch, became more elaborate but was later flattened as well, top stroke is what remains of its fire
See pic for a simplified progression of their looks, top being the oldest.

Help me! I used to study Japanese a few years ago (I didn't get very far) but now I got the idea of studying either Mandarin Chinese or Korean instead. Does anybody know either of these languages? I want to learn some Asian language but I was wondering if Mandarin Chinese or Korean would be easier (I'm lazy). Does Korean have pitch accent or tone differences that actually matters when you are pronouncing words? I mean, does the meaning get changed if you can't pronounce it correctly (like it does in Chinese)?
>>71550Directly translating from English to any other language doesn't make sense because your goal is to learn how to think in your target language, I think.
>>112467Yeah, the language used in anime is not the same as your regular everyday Japanese. If I recall correctly, even using "desuyo" carelessly can make you sound a bit rude (but note that I haven't studied Japanese in years). I think desuyo can make it sound like you are forcing your opinion on others (the opposite of how "desune" is often used) desuyo can often also mean "... , you know?", while in anime it's often used to signify the character's enthusiasm or excitement. Another example: personal pronouns (like "omae" or "anata") are used more frequently in anime than in real Japanese. You are supposed to avoid using them when talking to people who you don't know well, and you must be careful when choosing the pronoun you use (to not sound rude).
No.113660
>>113659In general, I keep hearing Mandarin is syntactically the easier of the three to learn for an English speaker while Korean is seemingly more inflected than Jap, all of them have mostly decent consonants, some ehhh vowels, and solid syllable structure, KR has pitch accent just like Jap (though the latter has a low "cognitive load," don't know how important it is in the former), KR has a very simple and easy writing system while Mandarin's is notoriously complicated and the Japanese script is by far one of the worst to ever exist, and finally Korean has a level of grammatical politeness that makes Japanese look like child's play, it seems Mandarin has eased up on that stuff because of gommunism :---DDD.

>>113659You should pick the language of the culture you're interested in. I don't think there's any point to learning Korean if you hate k-pop and k-dramas, for example. Learning any language takes effort, especially an East Asian language.
Anyway, I considered learning korean once since go is much larger there than in Japan. My impression was that the phonology was quite complex compared to Japanese. If you're a native English speaker you can already make most basic sounds in Japanese. Korean has aspirated/unaspirated consonants, consonant tensing, and some unusual vowels, so learning to make correct sounds at all is harder. It's easier than Chinese, though, since you don't have to learn tones on top of that. Korean only has pitch accent, like Japanese.
I also found hangul difficult and unintuitive, but obviously still better than learning thousands of kanji.
No.113664
>>113661Japanese is actually rather complex if you're interested in pronouncing it correctly. All the -i/ゃ/ょ/ゅ consonants aren't actually a cluster with /y/ but are described as having secondary articulation, it's got six vowels not five, /N/ wavers between five different nasal stops which includes the jank-ass uvular, a nasalized velar approximant (like Korean's but worse), or any nasalized vowel with seemingly no fixed place of articulation, and devoicing has far more to it than just deleting the vowel, or else kiku [kʲi̥kɯ̟ᵝ] would be unpronounceable. It's nowhere near as simple as kana or romaji would have you believe. Apiration is fairly easy compared to all of this.

No.113670
>>113664Yeah, after rereading my post, I realise that I didn't express myself very well. What I was trying to say is that basic, beginner pronunciation is easier in Japanese compared to Korean for an English speaker because Korean has more unfamiliar sounds, not that Korean phonology overall is more complicated than Japanese. Most of the things you mentioned won't show up in a beginner book, but tensing/aspiration are unavoidable in even basic material. Of course, native pronunciation in any language is complex and requires training/technical knowledge to emulate well.

I'm also a bit interested in the game of go but I honestly have no idea where to start.
The only reason for starting to learn Korean instead, would be that Korean might be easier in certain ways but I don't think that I would have many things that would keep me motivated me, since I'm not into K-pop or K-dramas. Mandarin Chinese does have a lot of classical literature, too. But I don't know if there would be enough other things that would keep me motivated (so I wouldn't stop studying, again). Maybe I will just visit my local library and borrow introductory textbooks on Mandarin Chinese and Korean? I don't know if I will be ever able to become good enough to understand classical literature in any of these languages but I think I will try it again, anyway.
No.113798
>>113687>>113664>beginner pronunciation is easier>easy to hearYeah, I can agree with that, I'm not trying to be a contrarian here. It's that I can speak English with half or even a third of its vowels and still be easily understood, so ease as a metric is debatable.
>Care to elaborate?I don't mean phonemes, the logical units (of which there are five, six, or ten depending on who you ask) but
phones, the sounds in and of themselves, written inside brackets.
If you look at pic, a chart of the "goodness rating" of how well a vowel is pronounced, you'll see that while most of them are fairly localized, /u/ has a much bigger range than the others and manages to reach the middle of the mouth. That's because it has two allophones: the "standard" [ɯ̟] that is a fair bit more forwards than the cardinal [u], and central [ɨ]. The latter appears after some sounds articulated in the front of your mouth, like /t/, /s/ and /z/, so す is [sɨ], つ [t͡sɨ], and ず is [d͡zɨ]. But that's not all, it also appears after any 拗音: きゅ = [kʲɨ], しゅ = [ɕɨ], びゅ = [bʲɨ], and so on and so forth with じゅ, ちゅ, ぎゅ, etc. I understand it's even debated whether that's the case in ぬ as well. This makes it a really common sound, all in all.
I believe its proximity to /i/, especially when relaxed, and the fact that it and /u/ are devoiced in the same environments are major contributing factors to 直音化.
(You can also see how /e/ is right in the middle of /a, i/, which is why it's such a common way to slur it.)
>>113789That's a time-tested recipe for burnout. I remember when I did WaniKani because it was simpler than Anki from scratch, and boy after a year it made me want to die. Anki lets you build an exponentially bigger backlog than WK, so really watch out for that, and writing everything down is a major time consumer.

Oh, and the centralized [ɨ] (here written as [ï]) is also the one of the main culprits behind yotsugana, the merging between /u/ and /i/ in these contexts:
>It is assumed that historically /di/ vs. /zi/ were pronounced respectively as [di] vs. [ʒi], and /du/ vs. /zu/ were as [du] vs. [zu]. Such a distinction is still kept in only some areas in Kochi, well known as “yotsugana dialects” [dialects with four different ways of pronounciation for four kana letters]>In contrast, the North of Tohoku areas neutralize such four forms into [dzï] ([ï] = centralized [i]), which is characterized as “hitotsugana dialects” [dialects with only one way of pronunciation for four kana letters] or “dzii dzii dialects”. This dialect also neutralizes /ti/ and /tu/ into [tsï], which turns up as [dzï] intervocalically.>Thus, /tizi/ 知事 ‘governor’ and /tizu/ 地図 ‘map’ are both realized as [tʃiⁿdzï], and /titi/ 乳 ‘milk’ and /tuti/ 土 ‘soil’ are both [tsïdzï]From a little note in this book:

>>113872Oh, yeah, that.
Everyone agrees that つ and 個 (个 in Chinese) serve as generic counters, that the first one only goes up to 9, and that after 10 you only use the latter or nothing at all. But I don't know
why exactly the generic classifier becomes optional, I don't think that happens in Chinese. My intuition tells me it's just a quirk of people favoring the kun'yomi and being unable to match it with on'yomi. Even the flippin' Handbook of Quantifiers in Natural Language seems to gloss over it.
As for what's happening here, 二十 is still acting as a noun, "question(s) of twenty," which is different from English numbers, where they act as determiners and can directly modify other words: "twenty questions." (I got the adjective part wrong, it's a different class.) Then again, basically everything you could call a determiner behaves like a noun. It's just a Jap thing.
No clue why it's read as じゅう, though.

how are you supposed to differentiate 触れる, 触る, and 感触
No.114156
>>114153It's different kinds of feelings. At their basic levels 触れる I believe is the most general one, for experiencing things in general, while 触る is defined as more narrowly あるものに手などを触れる, or あるものが体に触れる. It's more commonly used for touching stuff, like when Ui-mama sings 「触ったら逮捕！」. And then 感触 is defined as 手触り/肌触り, but also 雰囲気として感じとれること.
