「難」は難しいね〜

yurusanu

can someone tell me what the triangle means in some shinmeikai definitions? for example

合口 - 話などがよくあう△こと

its a 3 sided 口

( '△' *)

>>20895682
It's what they use between batsu and maru

>>20895703
I'm aware of that but how does it make sense in the middle of a definition?

(* ' 口 ' )

looks like the hardest kanji of them all was the dreaded sankaku lol

>>20895466
you know you love it

>>20895709
合口 = things only said but not written
話などがよくあう= things that only fit spoken language
△こと= not sure, i assume such entries get a △?

my japanese is shit but i assume entries that fit only spoken language and usually not written are marked with a △.

Take my post with a grain of salt.

>>20895758
I'll take the whole salt shaker.

>>20895758
An entire salt mine rather. You shouldn't have bothered, kiddo.

>>20895758
jesus christ this is an awful post

>>20895709
Maybe it's something to do with pitch accent or whatever other ajatt memes there are.

>>20895786
I don't think so because it's only random in some definitions and I can't figure out a pattern because it doesn't come after anything in particular

>>20895758
since uve already been shitted on ill give u some heartfelt advice

if u cant improve the silence dont post

文中の△は、枝分かれの起点を示す。△より前の解説は、△のあとの（ ）内の語ともつながることを示す。
From the dictionary itself.

>>20895811
what does this say i cant read it (only been doing anki for a couple years)

>>20895811
なるなるほど thanks
>>20895814
dunno if this is a meme but it basically says you can replace the part after the triangle with the thing that comes in brackets after (which I didn't include in the original example because I'm dumb but it was (間柄))

I probably should have noticed the pattern in that case, guess my IQ is firmly average

>>20895819
is there anyone not dumb here who can vet this post i wanna beleive them

>>20895822
You should have just read the 使い方 section, rather. Dictionaries are made to explain stuff, not throw puzzles at the reader.

>>20895835
I don't actually own the dictionary tho, and idk how to access that part of an EPWING if it is contained within it

where do i download the anki deck that teaches me how to use a dictionary i just wanna start drillin now so im ready when the time comes

>>20895840
It is, open it on an EPWING viewer like https://github.com/ludios/qolibri

>>20895857
I'm using qolibri but I don't know how to get to that section through the search function? I have all my EPWINGs loaded so it doesn't show that page by itself

ah naruhodo you have to press the search button to switch to 読本 then select the book and click the show menu button. very good.

are eroge literature? when i finally become japanese can i go to a library in japan to rent them out?

>>20895877
You have to right click the dictionary name on the right panel to view the menu.

>>20895889
Yeah.

>>20895892
I must be using an older version cause I don't have that right panel anyway, would have saved me some time if I did cause I would have tried that before asking anything

>>20895889
Fateは名作だの良作だのという枠を飛び越えて、
今やノベルゲームの聖書ですからね。
エロゲーを超越して、芸術の域に達した文学作品。
きのこ先生だからこそ、成せた偉業だと言えるだろう。
実際Fateに影響を受けて人生観すら変わった人間もちらほらいる
空の境界といい、きのこ先生ほど「人間の闇」を描けてる作品は近年にはちょっと無いよ。
よく勘違いされているがな、「ライトノベル」という呼称は相応しくないよ。重厚さが半端じゃない。
更に付け加えるなら
奈須きのこの文学とは単なる伝奇ではない
あえてカテゴライズするならば「新伝奇文学」ってとこかな？

decided to get back into the anki game again. i was starting to be able to understand shit for a second

>>20896124
Imagine doing something for 8 years without any tangible benefit but you just keep doing it anyways.

>>20896138
it has had pretty tangible benefits for me tho, my Japanese passive vocab increased by over 13k!

prove it

Hello everyone. I'm Will. i'm 33, i live in NYC. i have studied Japanese on and off since 2013 or so? i've been inexplicably captivated by it, even after having learned that Japan is actually trash and everyone there is insane and the culture is totally dysfunctional, everyone is an alcoholic, nobody ever fucks, and everyone forces you print out MS Excel documents and fax them, most of the music is terrible, etc. i had a dream in 2013 that i was in Japanese class. so when i woke up, i told my now exgf who happened to work at a language school about it. she got me signed up for discounted classes. i learned a little, but as you all know it didn't really do shit. i found wanikani, i started blowing past everyone in my classes, shocking my teacher with vocab i wasn't supposed to know. but i sucked at speaking and listening still, super slow. i'd come across AJATT but was like fuck that that's too hard. anyway sometime in 2014 i decided Japanese is useless and i should spend my time developing other more practical skills.
in early 2017 i made a resolution to get back at it, started up a new WK account, got to level 7 and then got really sick over the summer and it kinda knocked my habits out. i had other stuff to worry about for a bit. so didn't pick up again until Dec '18. since Dec 7th i went from level 7 to level 18, following a guide for doing a WK level every 7-8 days. was feeling pretty good about myself. i know some vocab, i remember some grammar rules from my classes, i can chain sentences together albeit in pathetic fashion. i got this book, Japanese Sentence Patterns for Effective Communication. it made lots of sense to me, i was going to try to build a custom SRS webapp for generating and drilling sentences using the patterns, something where you type whole sentences. i thought i had it all figured out
somehow i came across people on youtube talking about sentence mining, and eventually i found Matt's videos, realized i was bullshitting myself if i thought i was going to get to where i want to be. it was kind of a shitty realization because i had a plan and i was ready to just do my plan but Matt seems to say nothing but things that resonate with me, so i've chosen to admit that i don't know what i'm doing, but Matt does, so i'm gonna do what Matt says

post the screenshot i dont believe som1 would write that

if so nice cult lmao also obligatory thats it im starting a patreon

can someone point me in the right direction?

I want to read some light novels I bought from amazonJP but if possible I would like to change the format to HTML and read with yomi-chan for easy mining.etc

I realize you can convert with calibre (which i own) but amazon books and DRMed and I think you need a specific addons.

Anyone got a guide or something?

>>20896166
dont think it's something I can prove very easily, but I do have n1 and got around 90 on the vocab section of jcat

>>20896179
no ones gonna help u with that if u dont also post ur rips u know how this works

>>20896179

Guys I've been wondering - how do I know which is the best definition to learn from all my J-J dictionaries?

I'm trying to smoothly transition in functioning monolingually as efficiently as possible, but there's just so many dictionary definitions to chose from.

literally lolling at the idea someone could think a series about a girl who spends 80% of the time laying around eating ice cream and the other 20% doin the stabby stab on ninjas is high lit

>>20896240
the only thing ur gonna transition smoothly into is failure

>>20896240
i glance over them and pick the one that jumps out to me as easier to understand
i really don't think there's much point in going into the nitty gritty of comparing dictionary definitions

>>20896179
What format are the ebooks in? Do you have an eink reader or plan on using an ebook reader on your computer/phone?

>>20896240
Learn the definition that made you look up the word in the dictionary.

>>20895917
>空の境界といい

How many cards do you guys have in your monolingual transition decks?

>>20896240
If they feel different enough to you that you feel the need to ask this, there's probably something wrong with you. Apart from some dictionaries lacking definitions that other dictionaries have and stuff like 広辞苑 listing its definitions by etymological order of origin, they're pretty much the same stuff worded differently. Also, >>20896265

>>20896343
you would need something like the 古語林 for that

So this is the power of having a degree in Japanese...

>when I was actively droning, I couldn't force myself actually consume any input

I keep seeing kanji that I know I've learned but can't recall.

going to my classical japanese class so i can argue with the professor over some grammar rule no one cares about then yell "じゃあ俺は勝ったってことっすね！！！” before sprinting to the bathroom to eat my 弁当

>>20896364
and they said you couldn't learn japanese from anime!

nice!

sad thing is that he says he did that frequently and that was the best video he could make

who or what are we talkin about here

Should I learn an early-human African language and then transition to North Africa and learn ancient Egyptian at the start of my language journey? I feel like being exposed to hieroglyphics will allow for a greater appreciation for the formation of meaning within characters. Obviously after that I'll learn Chinese, to understand the culture of kanji, and then start RTK.

after 9 months i found out im still fucking trash at japanese.

>>20896482
at least you arent a decade in like the anki turboautist

>>20896482
should have started your monolingual transition sooner

my anki won't let me study new cards after I installed morphman. it just says "no reviews due" even tho I have new cards I just added reee

>>20896551
did you reach the daily new card limit

>>20896551
yea fuck that.. thanks for being the canary in the coal mine, rip

congratulations you don't have to do anki anymore

that's what you get falling for the morphmeme

>>20896559
no, I just disabled morphman and it lets me do new cards again. epic.

btw the deck in question I didn't even have in my preferences for morphman so it shouldn't even have been affecting it. nice add-on

ive been trying to do rtk but its order is dumb
why would i want to know the kanji of gall bladder heh

>>20896608
so you can learn the word 大胆 easily.

that's a big gallbladder

>>20896608
bc you're learning them through radical families instead of frequency, it's assuming you are trying to get good

If you do rtk you are a literal retard

>>20896708
you don't know japanese and can't read it either don't make posts like this

I find it much easier to remember a word's kanji form if I already knew it from seeing it somewhere else in hiragana or hearing it in anime.

myfavoritemanga also let's me learn everyday words in a funny way

>>20896720
why do ppl think that anyone who likes rtk doesn't know japanese? Matt and khatz both recommend RTK

>>20896708
I don't fucking get RTK, i tried downloading it but then it gives you unrelated radicals and tell they represent something else. How the FUCK does that help in remembering the kanji?

u know you're supposed to make a story in your head using those elements to help you remember it lol

there is pitch accent but it's not mission critical like in chinknese

how do i rip the code for their player from the website in event the worst happens lads

>>20897310
just learn japanese quickly

Good morning DJT

>>20897310
just get video files of the anime and then find the japanese sub file courtesy of our boy yoga

oha fgt

>>20897366
the transcript part of the animelon player lets you lookup words with yomichan. looking up words when watching using a normal player is torture in comparison

>>20897377
just use zkanji. it has a popup dictionary that overlays onto your player even in full screen. also stop watching shit with subs

i'd use that fluentvideo thingy someone posted where the subtitles are shown in a column on the right side, but it pretty much never works with any video i have so FUCK.

>>20897389
until it gets taken down, animelon shits on that no question in terms of convenience
>>20897392

this?

>>20897403
nah it's this:
https://video.fluentcards.com/

not sure if you can use yomichan to hover over the subs. i imagine you could but i can't test it.

>>20897403
it takes like half a second to type in whatever you want to look up lol, how is that more convenient than escaping out of w/e you're watching and searching for it in the subs and hovering over it? definitely takes way more time

>>20897420
>it takes like half a second to type in whatever you want to look up lol
you realize beginners can mishear stuff and not know readings right

>>20897414
Woah that's neat
>>20897420
I don't watch it in fullscreen so i dont have to escape. Also can add it into anki easily that way which is another plus

>>20897377
seems like a crutch

>>20897442
What is? looking up words in a dictionary or the process of doing that not being a pain in the ass?

>>20897449
let the japanese wash over you my dude

>>20897449
looking up everything is pointless and you're never gonna get a feel for the language that way. what's the point of watching if you're just staring at subs and yomichan with your hand on shift all the time. you're not even enjoying it. just relax, turn off subs, and listen to some fucken nihonged go!

>陰陽道をとらなかった

>>20897439
you shouldn't be doing anything like this if you haven't put in your 10k hours of eng subbed anime. you're not gonna mishear anything after that

>>20897469
idk i think a few 10k hour dudes couldn't hear the ng sound in 全員.

i suspect it's an IQ thing. 10k hours of eng subs + 115 minimum.

>>20897461
I am enjoying it though. I'm watching the anime normally and when I don't understand something the transcript is there and I can conveniently lookup words right away. Why you gotta impose your shit on people my man

>>20897474
strawman, most of those people were not 10k hours

>>20897461
Have you ever considered the possibility that some people actually know enough Japanese to be able to tell when a word they don't know yet pops up? I know you are just a shiterposter that knows practically zero Japanese, so the notion of understanding things and not having to hold shift throughout the entire time seems alien to you but I hope you don't think of people knowing as little Japanese as you as being the norm here. In fact, beginners like you that would rather than pursue the stupid advice they give (because it won't get them anywhere) shit up this thread poisoning the minds of any person visiting here are the biggest problem this thread has. Honestly people like you fucking disgust me.

>>20897474
theres no way anyone involved in that discussion had even reached 1000 including you
some were prob under 100

>>20897513
i know. i was jking about the 10k hours thing. i have like 1 hour and i still heard the ng. probably my 120 IQ.

is it zengning time again

ur not helpin ur case

>>20897530
Joke's on you I configure it so that it pops up without any hotkey.

>>20897568
who the fuck are you quoting?

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but when watching untranslated media, do I just keep watching until my comprehension gradually increases?
I'm trying to compare listening to reading, but with reading its easier to comprehend material as you can look up the words. Do you guys have any suggestions or your own experiences?

>>20897585
Just keep watching and don't think about it until you've watched at least 1000 hours without subs

>>20897575
thats a lotta flashcards im not sure i believe it

say something only some1 who did 600k flashcards would say

>>20897585
>do I just keep watching until my comprehension gradually increases?
No, thats an old troll meme created by ajatt, you need to pause it and think about every sentence a while really and look stuff up about 15 times per episode. If you're lazy and you already know a bit you can let it roll but in the noob stage you're doing next to nothing watching raws.

>>20897585
use japanese subs, once you arent shit you can incorporate raw watching as pure listening practice. but its hard to link the japanese you've acquired through reading with pure raw audio. using subs at the start makes it a lot easier.

>>20897593
I don't know Japanese?

>>20897585
and yea dude wtf use japanese subs

Any recommendations on what to read after yotsubato ?

>>20897608
それくらいわかってたわよ

>>20897585
as a complete beginner you should be looking stuff up. as a somewhat beginner who reads a lot you can merely listen and you'll constantly improve.

>>20897414
this is fantastic, thank you

Remember, you're improving and learning the most when you're making mistakes and taking note of it.
Also Animelon and Daiweeb are great for streaming online sub'd content. If it's not comprehensible you're not swimming.

If something is a waste of time it is you writing your post and me writing mine. Don't talk about shit you have no clue about, retard.

umm excuse me we use arimas around these parts

>>20897761
doesn't make any sense. surely he means a picture of a thing you're trying to remember? like having a pic of a snake. help you remember 蛇 how does having a pic of an anime characters face help you remember what 文言 means? (although only a flashtard would need some 工夫 for that anyway)

>>20897763
imagine how many times i and many others did not click ur link in the time it took u to make that post lmao

>>20897763
it takes at least 5 seconds to press your day hotkey, select the region you want to capture and then alt+tab and paste it into anki. not to mention you obviously spend time trying to find a frame that suits you. all for absolutely no reason. it could take you 1 second and you'd still be wasting your time

>>20897771
It's context but even besides that the brain likes stories, like if I said the name of my friend and slapped you in the face you'll remember the name forever.

>>20897780
uh yeah because that's actually a big deal for an individual. a pic of a generic anime girl isn't going to generate any memories for you when you're trying to remember what 信憑 means

>>20897783
He's watching the anime these are on dude. It's not that helpful to us (even though it is helpful just not a significant) but for the person that knows the story the face means a lot and the specific scene ofc too.

>>20897791
my guess is he realises that his shitty method isn't working but he's in denial so he has to make these posts to lie to himself that it's actually a good idea to do all this stupid bullshit

i mean, i still remember specific scenes where i learned certain words so i could imagine it helps to put pictures in
the question is, is the benefit actually large enough to be worth it and i'm inclined to say no since i feel the sentence is already sufficient

>>20897791
Seemingly helpful behavior but contradictory edgy manic responses. Probably a little off in the head.

>>20897823
I've added images to about half of my mined words and you're right sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn't. You should be taking it into your mentalese and attaching it to already understood concepts/experiences, so it really depends.

Hello friends, maybe you can help me with this?

I’m making some “bladerunner” inspired handgun grips and I want to engrave my company name into the grip in Japanese (the name is Replicant Special)

I plugged it into google translate and I got
>レプリカントスペシャル
Which is basically just transliterated

Is there a better way to translate this into Japanese? Maybe using synonyms or something

>>20897833
lol turn the gun around and shoot yourself in the fucking head moron

I chose the name “Replicant Special” as a nod to the Colt “Detective Special” snubnose revolver

>>20897833
i think ur product would really benefit if u just engraved わたしはゲイ into them instead

well i aint thinkin about it just if someone brings it up thatd be my answer cuz overconfidence is a sin

there's no such thing as the n6 or n7 you fucking morning lol. stop exposing your stupidity. why would you even try to brag about passing the n5 after four years of studying? go back to fkin Reddit you retard

Average AJATTr that crashes and burns spectacularly. Guys like Matt and Khatz are just examples of survivor bias disguising how bad AJATT is for learning japanese for people that don't eat lunch while hiding in the school bathroom.

tfw not even learning japanese, but in the MIA discord just to post messages for /djt/

When I read texts, often I see a vocab, reads it correctly and gets the meaning right, but because I am full of self-doubts I have to type it into a dictionary program anyway just to re-confirm.

I figure this will disappear if I just read more?

>>20898934
youll probably just do it for slightly rarer words instead

>>20896853
I watched variety shows lately and any jokes I get just increase my will to study Japanese.

I'm bursting.

is not "concentration by the tendai sect" or w/e that other guy said

its samata-vipassana meditation aka MINDFULNESS MEDITATION and its really great, involves more than just trying to concentrate

mindfulness meditation as it's packaged by most western mediums is a little watered down though, if you want the real shit check out Culadasa's The Mind Illuminated

https://youtu.be/TK-GlY7RDik

did calvin ever finish rtk and actually started learning japanese?
or did he quit before he even reached the main dish

>>20899256
he dropped rtk a while ago so i was hopeful but he quit today >>20898130
video deleted before i could check it out real shame

>>20898672
I can't help but feel the N5 is just a way of screwing baka gaijin out of their money. You can pass it with minimal effort, it doesn't require any actual competence and no one takes it seriously as a certification
I guess to a certain extent that's also true for N4 and N3 but at least they require *some* actual Japanese knowledge

>>20899256
>>20899275
I only ever see mentions posted but never any actual things by this guy. How long did he do this for? Why does he seem to delete his content an hour after its up?

>>20899277
if n5 didnt exist the same people who pay for it would complain there isnt a test tailored for their level

>>20899282
he started like a year ago i think
>Why does he seem to delete his content an hour after its up?
extremely insecure

>>20899295
>>20899282
actually it was probably longer since he had already failed to make it through rtk multiple times at that point

>>20899295
Was he one of nuke's disciples or matt's?

>>20899282
someones got a picture of him holding the mind illuminated
also if you see any pink text blogposts
his deletion only started to ramp up as time went on but he showed some warning signs early on like resetting his count for how many days hed been learning nihongo cause nothins as important as becomin a true prodigal success story for matt

>>20899303
a true ajatt cultist

deep down calvin never wanted to learn japanese, he just wanted to be part of the mia community

Not sure why people think it's reasonable to adapt the lifestyle of some weird mixture of a NEET and a buddhist monk for the sole purpose of learning Japanese.

And then young guys attempt this, find out its a horrible lifestyle and draw the conclusion that it's impossible to learn Japanese.

>>20899312
true he had a list of other languages he tried out and prob only picked nihongo cause its the way to truly follow in matts footsteps
>>20899313
they do say nihongese is the hardest language on the planet so if the monk style doesnt work out for you then you just gotta quit u kno

you gotta be kidding me

I'm in grad school. Claiming you have no time for Japanese while doing that is just exposing your laziness. In fact if you won't have time for this during grad school chances are you'll never have enough time later as well.

lets take a moment to remember and celebrate the life and times of carbin aka sentenceminer

they always go too young first 2pac then biggie its just not fair

Offer still stands:
I'll pay anyone who makes a script that would automatically add an example sentence to each of my ~2000 mined vocabulary words in Anki.

you shouldn't offer money for something that won't help you.

karubin is going to learn about himself first kids got some soul searchin to do

and its all because i didnt reach out to him

think like luffy from one piece when he gives some1 a chance to just be a man in the face of danger and it backfires cuz they just fuckin die

there's something poetic about calvin's journey. i figured ever since i first knew of him he'd fail because his social media was plastered with stuff like "i hate this process so fucking much but then i trick myself into thinking i like it every few days/weeks by writing posts like this".

btw mizu poster guy wow his entire wall is like the antithesis to matts its complete actual normie aids where matts is just shonen aids

took me 40 minutes of procrastination but i got through anki today. now i'll read for 2 hours but it'll actually be 30 minutes of reading because i'll alt-tab constantly because what i'm reading is so boring.

this is why you read manga cause it's easy as fuck to follow without looking anything up. you can just get all of your understanding from the imgs and only look up words you see a lot, allowing you to maintain a reasonable pace

漫画キャラの真似はやめろ

In a lot of fighting game, i hear some characters say あまい, I thought it means "sweet". Is that what it actually means or is there another meaning?
also I hear ぬるい a lot, what does that mean?

another one eng subbed anime could solve

>>20899883
甘い also means naive. Like, you didn't seriously think I would fall for that trap, right?
温い means lukewarm, like something barely warmer than cold water. In other words, a weak opponent that's far away from being a hotshot.

>>20899916
oh that make sense for 甘い, since they say it while blocking. But I dont know about 温い, in the video, around 0:47 mark, he does say ぬるい doesn't he? or is it the same word?

anyone knows how many questions you need to get right to pass the JLPT?
I got 29/34 on vocab
and 28/35 on grammar

seems like a good score but i remember reading how the grades are scaled or something. is this an OK score or? n4 btw

>>20900066
ぬくい is some really uncommon reading, I've never met it once over several years of reading. I found it in Jisho, but I can guarantee you that it's virtually always read as ぬるい.

>>20900067
Try listening.

why did you take the n4

I knew what なきゃ meant when reading today ("must do" in that context) because rarepotato posted about it recently. It's not in the dictionary and I'd have been too lazy to google it so he saved me.

>>20900078
I will, don't have time today though.

it's a mock test and a good way to measure my progress, i'm wrapping up genki 2 with my teacher (chp 23 now) and starting tobira the next week. I want to make sure I'm ready.

a really good way to measure your progress is if you can understand more and more of the stuff you read. in fact it's a much better way than n4 or n1. cheers.

man i don't wanna read i just wanna play sevtech
