I'd mean every op is いい instead of this specific one

what does the ではな part of this sentence mean? I've been struggling but I can't find anything concrete.

This is what I have so far:

- usually I'd like to collect my exploded/scattered flesh,

-this body, no, this head ではな。

is it supposed to be short for ではない?
is the で は used to say because of/using (her head) is the topic, with な as an emphasis particle?

>>20111747
>is it supposed to be short for ではない?
is the で は used to say because of/using (her head) is the topic, with な as an emphasis particle?
yes

>>20111747
では、な
this な is a particle.

shes in a state of head

tfw if i didnt give up learning jap in 2003 i could be good by now

>>20111786

>>20111747
>is the で は used to say because of/using (her head) is the topic, with な as an emphasis particle?

yes, it's trailing off and implying この頭ではできない

if i were to spend my precious time localizing it for you i would write something like "but with this body, or rather this head..."

>>20111862
I actually forgot about that but that's another example of advice that he's walked back on after his discord members all tried and utterly failed to consistently do it. In fact he's walked back so many things by now that I'm surprised he hasn't unlisted those videos and made his updated timeline video public.

everybody does it in japan its a whole ritual

What does she mean here by 当ててみてよ? I don't really get what the verb means in this case. I looked up possible meanings but none of them seem to make sense.

since when was there tripfags in djt

the maintainer dude had an autistic meltdown on /int/ cause people werent sucking his dick and now hes going to delete it. that site was a poorly organized mess anyway, about time we ditched it but real talk it should have dropped it from the op after he started shilling it on reddit. trying to make money of shit he did nothing of is imo an uber dick move.

you should just give me the site

私は猫を愛する

>>20111948
what was he doing that let him make money off the site?

>>20111955
i thought you were working on your own site

>>20111960
oh thats right im going to night college to learn web programming

2 words bit lasers

Now the nigger is using a trip. The absolute state of DJT.

you can use it too if you want its open to all

so what you're saying is we need a wiki

a wiki wouldnt be bad but youd have to limit editing to only people with n1 certs and native vetting

also arent there already better wikis out there

>>20112051
No, we should just link to Matt and let him guide us to the promised land

>>20112066
I was unironically going to suggest linking an MIA wiki. Joke about Matt all you want but his friends and followers are more competent than DJT on average. We could all learn something.

>>20112078
Is there an MIA wiki?

>>20112078
your idea is good at the core but mia followers are paranoid about legal action, look at nukemarine

guide me to the promised land matt sensei

Seriously? When did this happen? Are his posts still up?

>>20112089
He's right you know

>>20112118
Nevermind, found them:
>>>/int/96439649
>>>/int/96453730

Doesn't say that he's shutting the site down, just that he's done with DJT.

The enemy of hardcore anime だけ　learners are grammar questions. I looked at this guys senior level homework from a japanese class the other day and I could read all of what was written but could not quite guess what to fill in to the blank. Hearing the guy from matts video today say he failed n1 and matt getting a multi-choice n3 question wrong on a nuke video made me realize the struggle is true.

>>20112181
lol so basically even he agrees that no one learns japanese but instead are inspired to "jump into content" lol

>>20112183
absolutely but you shouldnt be trying to learn japanese with anime

you just need 10000 (maybe a tiny bit less like 9997 or 9998) hours of it to get started its a very important difference

>>20112089
>I'm not the type of person who would waste time on a site like that

What are some good shows to watch that aren't anime or just talk shows?

Shouldn't it be way easier to rhyme in japanese because the verbs come at the end of the sentence and half them are ru or su. It's like a language designed for rhymes.

>>20112523
you can do way more fun things than just simple rhyming at the end of a line

rhyming at the end of lines is not just really easy in japanese, it's not even expected of a songwriter, because it's so easy

look at the lyrics for any random popular touhou arrange and you'll see all kinds of crazy patterns that are unthinkable in english outside of rap, especially internal rhymes that are kept up for a long period of time and grammatical replication and shuffling

That's a shame if he really is leaving DJT for good and I don't really understand the reaction, it looked like a sincere and rational post if anything, not a tantrum. From memory that maintainer also put together that big ass manga collection and made all of the op images with that zero no tsukaima meme text in the background.
I don't post much on /int/ anymore but when I did he didn't come across as arrogant, the opposite really. First the CoR maintainer then djtguide maintainer and now the naughty neko djt maintainer gone are we really that bad to scare away the people who contribute the most, I should shitpost less but probably wont. Will anyone become a new maintainer if he kills that site or do we go back to using the older site? Does anyone have a backup of all that manga?

>>20112728
dude was sperging out projecting his ideas of what the "community" in a long running shit show thread series on a anonymous besides me and that 1 other dude image board should be

fuck em

>>20112728
He didn't say anything about getting rid of the site.

>>20112744

>>20112728
I have no idea how anyone sticks around djt long enough to become a thread personality. I drop by every few months when I'm stumped on something (and nobody here actually know either) or I get bored. But in about 6 hours i see enough autism and literal retardation i leave immediately.
It's not even a 4chan autism. It's just purely actual retarded people acting retarded.

I love the Japanese language, but God damn it's so hard to find a community that isnt complete shit.

Are there any cyberpunk LNs?

>>20112767
why do you need a community?

>>20112781
stop reading genre fiction

>>20112767
I do the same except I stick around for a few days (usually the weekend) and catch up on the scene. It inspires me somehow. When I study later I subconciously want to beat the rest of you despite wanting you to get better too. I pop in here between videoes and reps and time box to relaxmy focus a little. As usual there are pro's and con's to anonymity based boards. I wouldn't waste too much time here but it's definetly not all bad. Nothing you say really matters and there's a wide spread of philosophy you might find something you didn't realize on your own.

>>20112786
Reliable responses and ability to communicate with people in the language in a learning environment.

Why do you feel the need to make a name for yourself on an anonymous image board so that everyone hates you?

>>20112809
you haven't filtered him out already?

>>20112805
I can safely say I've gained absolutely nothing from djt.

I learned far more from my high school courses and picking up books off the shelf in my bookstore.
I did learn from kims thing, but I was reading that before djt.

>tfw reading both Genki 1, Tae Kim and RTK
this is a really bad idea btw

>>20112818
He wasnt around last time I came here. It's been a few months.
Maybe he was but it wasnt on my radar and I was getting annoyed with people for not understanding a specific use of the の particle.
I'm probably going to read something by tomorrow that's so stupid I'll leave for a few months again though so I dont bother filtering

>>20112809
but you dont want to communicate with other learners you want to get good enough to communicate with natives and only do that either way you should already know the rules for this current era of everyone needs communities bullshit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPYdQGkgrN4#t=64

>>20112819
Man I got tons of books from here, a bunch of audiobooks linked on here, advice for differnt anime and jdramas, countless questions answered, output practice, study conpanionship, the list goes on. What more could you want? Why are you even here? I mean are you hanging on every retarded thing said here or something??

I only come here for the memes but what other reasons for coming here are there? To talk about what we're immersing with? Why? Who cares? Why not talk about that with people who communicate in English? If you need help with a translation you can ask that here or find an answer to your question elsewhere online. You can say DJT is shit, and it is, but your idea of what would make this place good seems stupid and pointless too. Kinda like how the butthurt creator of that new site posted a prompt in the /int/ thread asking people what they've been reading. Who the fuck cares what a bunch of learners are reading? What do you want them to say? Give a shitty interpretation of content they barely understand? Wow, how fun. What an amazing standard for quality you must have.

You may spend 10000 hours watching anime, you may study every single kanji, but can you truly say that you understand 日本語 if you don't recognize atleast 80% of the things referenced in this video

>>20112838
I got drunk and wanted show recommendations. That's about it really.

Then I felt like calling someone a retard so I did.

How do you translate into japanese: "the difference between the closeness of japanese vs westerners". My prof marked it as an incomprehensible sentence.

>>20112841
on the real its very hard to find bilinguals who are actually able to explain things both ways and ive only seen it from mostly scholarly people in academia

your average casual bilingual who cant write or think for shit or is otherwise not really interested in really getting shit right is what youre going to find the most

english speaking communities for japanese language are just shit but also like ones for anime and hentai games etc are just complete aids because they dont understand them at all and on the flip side the majority of japanese consumers are actual retards too (shocking i know even japanese people can be retarded just like the westerners) so its very hard to strike up good conversation about the finer points of things because the mega otakus like you are way more introverted than you ever thought you were and thus you have no access to them

that said ive still found some pretty cool homeboys and homegirls out there and you will too someday

>>20112842
can you post the 4chan equiv of this so everyone understands the aids level

What's the point of な as an adjective marker when everyone just uses の anyway and they seem completely interchangeable as an adjective marker.

Update that nobody asked for or cares about:
Turns out the problem wasn't Wine or ITHVNR after all but rather the visual novel I was trying to hook. I just tried hooking a different VN and everything works perfectly.

I'm going to have to test it some more since this could just be a fluke where it only works with this one specific VN and no others, but I'm really hoping that's not the case. There are a bunch of newer VNs which I've been wanting to play which just won't run on my VM, so I might at long last be able to play them now. Finally, over a year after I started learning Japanese I can read something which isn't in an 800x600 window!

It's basically "so that".

>>20113136
And the 気 thing is an idiom. There are a bunch of these 気 idioms, e.g. 気を遣う, 気に入る, etcetera.

Speaking of 気に入る... If you check 入る in a dictionary, you'll see it can be read as both はいる and いる, but いる is kind of archaic and in practice pretty much the only time you'll ever see this reading used is in idioms like this, and also compound verbs like 立ち入る.

I'm almost done with core10k and I want to start yotsuba immediately after finishing, but I'm worried I won't be able to understand the homophobic slang that the guide warns me about. Should I search for a porn anki deck first?

2 years into reading and I've feel like I've learned less then last year but I'm still kicking, even though grammar is still a bitch for me
How are you all doing this evening?

>>20113473
Are you doing 20+ new words per day in anki and listeing/immersing mostly? I think that's more effective but I"m only 6 months in so idk. I just heard real reading is pretty hard.

Yeah, I know how. Goodnight everyone, see you tomorrow.

>>20112767
>I have no idea how anyone sticks around djt long enough to become a thread personality.
I was a DJT regular back in 2013/2014 but left after realizing I was good enough to no longer need the support of the thread. I only come back when a friend links me to a specific post. The thing is that once you get sufficiently good at Japanese you realize that hanging around Japanese learning communities is just wasting time you could use to engage with the media you learned Japanese to consume in the first place. This means communities end up comprised of beginners and dekinais that lost their way. People like Nukemarine spend decades failing to learn Japanese for a reason: They get so into the language learning community that they never immerse themselves in Japanese content and really let their language skills blossom. The result of this is a shit community of beginners needing help with everything and autistic dekinais stomping around way past their welcome. The community you're looking for - a community of people competent in Japanese free from retarded people acting retarded - is in hobbyist message boards of people who already know Japanese talking about what they like. It's in Japanese message boards, it's in all the places that need Japanese but aren't about learning it. DJT is a nest and you must learn to fly away. The chick that never breaks its shell will never be born.

Though it's not so easy to leave a community you're used to, it's a necessary step for learning Japanese. In my case it helped that Jamal had just blighted our thread with his disgusting presence for the first time, which made the call to leave easier (and seeing him still shitting things up literally years later is comforting confirmation that I made the right call).

Is there a ranking for emphasis conveyed by ending particles? zo, ze, ya, nee, yo etc
I keep seeing these but I'm never sure what makes people choose one over another, are some of them more assertive?

>>20113541
Just pick it up naturally by context you dork. It's not like Zo has assertion level 50 and Ze has assertion level 40. They have a feel for them that you just have to pick up naturally.

>>20113473
nukoooo

>>20113530
This guy gets it. The only reason to ever come to these threads is when you're done reading for the day and you just want to shitpost.

Read a whole volume of 古見さん today, I feel accomplished

>>20113472
You've almost finished Core10K and still haven't started reading? What the fuck are you doing?

>>20113503
put in your credit card number and click confirm order

>>20113530
Yeah, pretty much this. Among the worst things you can do for yourself as a learner are to hang out in learner communities and follow gaijin e-celebs who make content aimed at learners. Both are just total wastes of time. Any time spent talking about learning or listening to somebody else talking about learning is time not spent doing the actually important thing for your Japanese - learning itself.

I keep drifting in and out of DJT. I check in out of curiosity and end up getting sucked back into the threads for a few days before realising how much time I'm wasting and leaving again. I really wish I could stop coming back for good but every now and then my curiosity just gets the best of me and I want to see what people are talking about here since I last checked in.

>>20113589
>I really wish I could stop coming back for good but every now and then my curiosity just gets the best of me and I want to see what people are talking about here since I last checked in.
It will pass. I had the same problem way back when but eventually you just stop caring. It's kind of like an addiction that fades over time, but resets the second you visit the thread again. If you can resist the urge long enough it will go away for good. I can promise you that if you leave DJT for good, a month or two from now you won't be idly wondering what's going on in DJT, you'll have almost completely forgotten it even exists.

I've been reading 乳房 as にゅうぼうon the countless times I come across it in written works, but then a fantasy steampunk VN voiced it as the latter. ...was it ever にゅうぼう? I realized I got that reading from all the 爆乳 and 暖房, which is part of Core2k.

This is like realizing hyperbole doesn't rhyme with super bowl

A lot.

>>20113719
depends on the manga, but reading manga isn't necessarily easier than reading actual novels (even though it's not really reading)

>>20113841
Actually, reading novels would be easier, assuming you have them in a text format and not in picture format. looking up words is a lot faster and pleasant like this.

>>20112937

>>20113825
Manga isnt reading in the first place. You should be able to right now.

Also has 3 movies you can watch when you're finished reading.

>>20114149
>Taking place in a futuristic city called Mardock City, Rune Balot is a prostitute who was taken in by the notorious gambler Shell Septinous. One night, Shell abandons Rune and attempts to murder her in an explosion. However, she is rescued and transformed into a cyborg by Dr. Easter under regulation Mardock Scramble 09, an emergency ordinance where experimental technologies can be used to preserve life. An Artificial intelligence who takes the form of a Mouse accompanies her to adapt to her new life. Rune is trained to use the advanced technology fitted on her to defend herself against Shell's attempts to have her killed to stop her from testifying against him.

>>20111578
I can't even tell what she's saying.

>>20113825
You seem to be confused. Manga isn't reading.

まるで迷路だな。糸巻きでも持参すれば良かったよ.
スモークも必要だったかな？

Don't understand the second sentence, context from the first sentence: MC enters a room with a confusing layout, says a spool of thread would be useful (to track where he already went).
He then finds the correct path, and wonders if smoke would have been necessary too (in a jesting tone). Don't get it, is it a reference to something?

なんって？　漫画はいわゆる「「「「読み」」」」物でござるが漫画を読むことは読みでございません。

I might speak English natively but I still fucked up my native accent by reading too much as a kid and creating an incorrect model of how certain words sounds. I was corrected on my pronunciation but I could just never get the sound right. Don't do the same in Japanese.

i still have no idea where the 'you will never learn japanese' girl comes from

>>20114244
>漫画を読むことは読みでございません
じゃなんだよ

>>20114255
Too late

>>20113473
What kind of stuff do you read?

>>20113825
Depends on what manga. Something like Yotsuba is super easy even if you're the worst kind of shitter but for example seinen manga often doesn't use furigana, meaning you need to have a decent grasp of the kanji used.

But manga isn't reading.

>>20114255
You can't have that problem with Japanese because the pronunciation is not ambiguous.

In English a c can be the s sound or k sound, etc.
In Japanese a か is always the ka sound.

If you see an unknown word in English you can never be 100% sure how to pronounce it, but in Japanese you can be.

>>20114285
One time I thought a し had the typical "shi" pronunciation but it was actually shortened to "sh" as it branched into the next character. My model prevented me from changing from shi to sh though.

>>20114255
no this is not a real problem, you're either exaggerating or just dumb

don't fall for Matt's "reading is dangerous" meme

he's trying to keep his cult members from getting good to maximize neetbux

>>20114295
It doesn't work like that on a word by word basis in Japanese though.
If you say shi instead of sh it's not less correct. It's just that people often slur things together.

But if you say kesar instead of sesar for cesar then you fucked up big time.

>>20114335
It's only reading if it leads you to read other things that are better for you.

If you're just using it to sound out Kanji and Kana but not considering the words or the meaning, that's not reading no matter what the source is.

>>20115344
I don't necessarily agree with the meme but there is a little bit of merit to it.

It's a great way to encounter new words and grammer structures but it doesn't help with more substantial understanding, and you're less likely to encounter certain writing styles and tones. I do manga and kanzen master reading to get a good mix.

>>20115344
I think the main idea behind it is to troll beginners (and also annoy non-beginners). There have been some of them who have actually fallen for it and tried arguing the case here that manga really isn't reading.

should just tell them to get on the 一切合切 tip instead of bullshit them imo

say it with me
Ironic Shitposting Is Just Shitposting

i aint gonna say that cuz 1 mans shit is another mans treasure

i have two decks
one custom made with kanji and their general meanings (kanji, meaning, stroke order)
and the other - standard core 6k
the thing i noticed is when i got ~95% correct answers on mature in core6k, my retention in kanji deck is below shit, somewhere around 64%
but when i struggle with core6k, the number of correct answers in kanji goes up significantly
this kanji deck is almost 2 years old, yet it stopped maturing, and there is 225 cards i always screw or will screw up in the future
i started core6k in january, and i'm doing 2 decks simultaneously since then, and core is much easier to work with imo

so my question is: do i have to screw up words to be good at recognizing meaning of kanji, or i'm just dumb?

i also have this addon called "true retention" but it always shows numbers around 80-90%

>>20115498
Delete both of them and start mining.

and then delete your mining deck and just read

>be heisig
>make a big kanji book with stories and sell it for big bucks
>but don't actually write any stories for more than a half the kanji
What is with this man?

It's been about 2 years since I last opened my Anki, I've completed my core6k deck (91% cards on mature category). I've never started a mining deck, what do you guys think, do I just start my mining deck or relearn the core deck?

>>20115535

>>20116636
It's the only way. You will have to comeback to grammar book and see the meaning of it when you encounter it in your reading though.
Essential grammar of tae kim is pretty essential but besides that it's fine to go into the wild.

>>20116636
Yea? That's the best way to learn it. You become familiar with structures and points by reading a lot and seeing them a bunch, and then when you read about it in a guide or in anki you're much more likely to remember what it's doing.

keep your aids ridden gf to yourself jamal.

>For me the biggest problem with this add-on so far is definitely the pop-up disappearing off the bottom of the window.
Looks like Nazeka got an update today which has semi-fixed this. The pop-up no longer disappears off the screen, which is a definite improvement, but instead of going above the cursor when there's not enough downward screen space, the popup goes to the side of it which blocks your view of the line of text that you're reading.

This can be somewhat alleviated by changing the "popup positioning corner" setting from "top left" to "bottom left" or "bottom right"... however, then you get the opposite problem where this popup positioning issue occurs with text that's too near to the top of the screen instead of the bottom. Speaking of these "top left", etc. settings, their names all seem to indicate the exact opposite of what they actually do ("top left", for instance, has the popup appear to the bottom right of your cursor). See pic. Not sure if there's some sort of logic to this, but if there is then I'm not following it.

Anyhow, the best setting for now seems to be "bottom right" or "top right", depending on whether you see reading lines at the bottom or the top of the screen respectively as being the most important. Provided there's enough horizontal space, with the "* right" settings the popup will block the text behind (to the left of) your cursor, which seems preferable to it blocking what's in front (to the right) of your cursor. If you use either of the "bottom" settings though, you will probably need to check the "Reader insert at the bottom" box if you want to use Nazeka's built-in clipboard grabber ("Reader") window (though there's a note on the setting saying that this is "not recommended" for some reason; it might be due to the now-fixed disappearing popup issue, but it could also be for some other reason).
