How can you live in an imaginary country?

Fascinating

I've heard people from Japan speaking Japanese trying to buy a game at EB, and I heard some Japanese exchange students saying 'Genki?' and shit on campus. Anyways, Japanese sounds fine to me, but Chinese sounds like gibberish. But that's probably because I'm more familiar with Japanese.

HOW DOES MY PENIS SOUND TO YOU

When I worked in a library, I heard a six year old white boy speaking Japanese with his equally white mom in the check-out line.

inb4 butthurt chinks

>>2455462
Also, this was right when Ichigo Mashimaro was airing, and I wished he was a girl so I could have an IRL Ana Coppola moment ;_;

Japanese being the only language I can understand outside of English sounds awesome as it's still fairly new to me

Chinese just sounds like CHING CHONG NIP NONG

I FUCKING HATE HEARING CHINESE

japanese doesn't bother me

>>2455471
When I hear Chinese people speaking (and I hear it a lot thanks to the infestation rate at my university) it always sounds like nothing more than "SHI SHI SHI HAO" over and over again.

>>2455461
Chinese sounds like someone strangled a cat, and then tried to assign consonant and vowel sounds to the garbled screeching. Judging by how many times they'd have to do this, I must assume Chinese people historically hated cats.

Japanese actually sounds good to the ear. Chinese is urgh.

>>2455468
>with reaction images to hide the truth

japanese doesn't sound great, but chinese sucks.

>>2455484

they eat them bro.

>>2455492
That explains where their sound system came from, then.

Close to 40% of my college campus is Japanese, I hear it all the time.

off-topic but was it koreans or chineses who pretended the most to be japanese when asked where they came from?

another kawaii thread anon-san xD

>>2455509
Are you really that stupid?
It's a lie.
Jesus...

>>2455508
you lucky man

japanese: desu desu naninomarinandani desu
chinese: shiueh shueh chi chang chung chins chang ning ning
korean: puga puga nidanida handobnpuga guregure

>>2455534
I don't think so. They all hang out in their cliques, and laugh at baka gajins like myself.

ITT Weeaboos think that the japanese is better than chinese.
But actually chinese is better than japanese because japanese is good for nothing(unless games).

>>2455612
>hi, i'm chinese

>>2455612
enjoy ur lead paint/tainted milk

>>2455612
Games>Business
therefore
Japanese>Chinese

Asian anon here.

You're a bunch of uneducated idiots.

>>2455631
HAHAHA no.
It's a fact not a opinion.

>>2455644
op is asian too you know, that just nullifies your logic

>>2455644
Oh wow! It's a real ASIAN guys!

>>2455612
>weeboos
>japanese better
>/jp/ - Japan/General

Used to live in Japan so I heard it everyday for like 2 years, and it's like music to my ears. I miss it.

>>2455668
>/jp/ is only for weeaboos, amrite guys?

>>2455690
>alot of people in /jp/ are weeboos. shocker!

>>2455701
All of the weeaboos on /jp/ are from /a/ and /v/.

Much like yourself.

Wakarimasu?

>>2455701
You missed the point.

All languages except English are basically useless.

cantonese is definately a 'rougher'/less-pleasant sounding language

mandarin is much smoother, sentences sound more fluid, softer sounding

japanese i would say is a mix of both, distinct sounding noises and smooth, flowing sentences

korean is just weird, i can't even describe it

/jp/ is the fucking worst board. WORST

When I worked in a store, there were two times that certifiably GLORIOUS NIPPONESE people came through.

One was some middle-aged lady and her daughter. They were using traveler's checks so I turned around and shouted at the shiftleader "HEY HOW DO WE DO TRAVELER'S CHECKS AGAIN?" and they went 『ええええええええ！！』.

Then another time some college students (I guess?) came through my line and were talking, I wasn't sure what language they were speaking until I managed to pick out some clearly Japanese sounds.

While waiting for a table to open up at a restaurant, a young Japanese couple dressed all in denim were also there, with the guy talking incredibly rapidly. I heard a "kedo" at the end of one of his sentences, but fuuuuuuuck how do people understand that shit. I wouldn't be able to comprehend an English-speaker speaking that quickly.

There was also a FUCKING COREAN grad student from the nearby engineering college who bought beer every time I saw her.

>Canada
>really low asian population

I fucking wish

ITT: We think Japanese is a superior language

over 1 billion people speak Chinese

>>2455791
They don't' have any choice, Aniki. Just like the japs.

>>2455445

do you mean mandarin or cantonese

/jp/ agrees it goes like this.

japanese>korean>chinese

>>2455859
it sounds fucking the same

>>2455775
i'm not talking about chinkcouver, but QUEBEC, you know those separatist leeches?

>>2455863

koreans say that korean sounds like japanese because both languages have the word "terebi" for tv

i overheard a korean guy telling a japanese guy this on campus

>>2455880
i want to beat the shit of that guy as a fellow korean

>>2455740
It's weird because it sounds like a very bad mix of Japanese and Chinese.

>>2455863
Actually is:
chinese>korean/japanese

I think Japanese sounds better because it's more of a choppy, enunciated accent, whereas Chinese sounds like a drunk person speaking. The worst, though, is a Chinese speaking Japanese.

I hear tons of Cantonese on campus and it is the roughest language I have ever heard.

I hear Japanese now and then on campus as well from both Japanese students and Japanese-American students.

I haven't heard Japanese from the black weeaboos, bleaboos(?), on campus yet but I suspect I will one day.

Those are everyday experiences with Japanese not including visits to Japanese stores.

>>2455899
And Japanese students does not refer to students learning Japanese

Chinese and Japanese both don't bother me but Korean sounds like shit.

When I spent the summer with my cousin in New Jersey I heard a shit ton of Korean. Hell, I think 3 of the local channels on TV were straight Korean. As for Japanese, I heard quite a bit here and there (bookstores, supermarket, etc).

>>2455922
Too obvious.
Try harder.
You just don't like koreans.

>>2455897
It really depends on the type of Chinese. I find standard mandarin (as in TV news reporters, subway announcements, the stuff they teach the kids at school) very nice on the ears. The local mandarin dialects however, are atrocious. Cantonese is bad all over.

Korean sounds incredibly blocky to me, as in there's a period at the end of every word. Also, it's like they're always a bit angry.

Japanese flows well, but the tone they have always reminds of infomercials, like they're trying to sell me something.

>>2455922
Chinese fag detected

But seriously, runes just don't work in this day and age. The Koreans were on the right track I think.

I live in Hawaii and there are tons of Japanese tourist and this place is pretty heavily influenced by the Japanese as well so I hear people talking Japanese all the time.

>>2455936
interesting.

which language sounds a more angry to you?

chinese or korean?

your answer will reveal your identity.

>>2455939
The runes seem to work fine for the 1 billion chinks, and 130 million Japanese.

>>2455949
Those "chinks" live in shithole farming valleys. I hope they enjoy memorizing thousands of symbols while picking rice for a living.

>>2455897

there is a difference between regional dialects

poor example, but it would be like going to japan, hearing kansai-ben, then thinking the language sounds unrefined

the "drunken" version of mandarin (a very canto style) is not the only way to speak it

there is a standardized mandarin that a lot of second generation mandarin speakers prefer, because it sounds more stoic

another example would be going to england and hearing cockney-british rather than BBC british, and thinking the language sounds coarse

it's just bad luck that a lot of people choose an accent that doesn't cross cultures well

I like old people's Japanese, but I don't much like the way a lot of younger people speak; it sounds like they're talking with their mouth full.

Cantonese depends on the situation; sometimes I rather like it, but sometimes it can be really fucking annoying (someone yapping full-volume on their phone next to me on the bus).

I like the sound of some Mandarin, it depends on the speaker. I don't really know enough about it to be able to name the accents I like.

Korean is just confusing.

>>2455936
>Korean sounds incredibly blocky to me, as in there's a period at the end of every word. Also, it's like they're always a bit angry.
Korean is very weird but I like it.

Exemple:
This is a opening of anime but in korean version:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5179860
And this is a korean version too, but sounds diferent:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5566404

why so much hate /jp/?

they all sound nice... <3

>>2455951
Honestly the Chinese dialects. It feels like there's always a argument, even when people are being cordial. Korean has an underlying anger, as in they're mad at you, but they're trying to hide it. I'm not even going to try to distinguish between Korean dialects and accents, that's just too hard.

And I'm as pasty white as the next weeaboo, man, I simply have shit tons of Asians (Especially Koreans) at my school.

>>2455791
using your logic, virus and bug are superior than human right?

>>2455939

the korean writing system was inspired by window designs

>>2455997
>This is a opening
Fuck, I mean an opening.

korean here, i just wish i were chinese or japanese. so fucking tired of explaining people where korea is located on the map and if i'm a commie etc etc.

tl;dr: no one cares about korea

You guys do realise that chinese has a fuckton of dialects right?
I get the feeling you're all talking about cantonese because it sounds like a strangled cat.
However with all languages it depends on the accent and voice of the person speaking it, for example if everyone spoke like Norio Wakamoto no one would hate any language.

I like Chinese and Japanese, but am undecided on Korean since I havent heard enough of it to really decide, it seems abit staccato which i don't really like.

>>2456084
I realise that. However Chinese all sounds the same to me.
