/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Is it worth it to learn Japanese because you've fallen in love with an idol-like streamer and want to somehow be with them?

>>41157101
Learning Japanese is like a never ending hell.
Only start if you want to experience abstract forms of pain.

everyone below this post will never know japanese

>>41157101
No....
>Fallen in love with a idol
You have to find a cure for that first.

yes, you must feel the nihongo instead

>>41157254
It's incurable. I can treat the symptoms by marrying her, though.

Japanese has so many fucking resources to learn nowadays that it is stupidly funny to try. I think there are even more than other languages like french, although I think fast french is on par with fast german and they are worst than spoken jp.
After a time, usually when you get into kanji and start reading a lot in furigana, you will have to ask the most important question ever:
why the hell are you learning this language?

Because, oh well, it is a MASSIVE investment of time. And time in your 20's and 30's is absolutely crucial.

Japan is a wide place to live with major societal issues, far beyond any crap you will ever be reading on the internet. Specially in this world, that you need a degree and a career for essentially everything.

japan is a waste of time if youre a 1st worlder because it only wastes time you could spend learning better skills to actually make money
even japanese companies pay less than foreign ones in japan for the same work and as time goes on japanese companies that do hire foreigners dont even want you to bother learning japanese because of how actually unreasonable it is
in short japanese is a waste of your time dont bother

>>41157665
>why the hell are you learning this language?
Imagine thinking anything you do must be for improving your good goy threadmill performance.
How about just doing it as fucking hobby. Like people waste thousands of hours playing vidya gays or watching goy of thrones and chicken wings of power, but that guy learning jap? What a loser weeb!

>>41157665
>>41157695
Why are you people (see: samefag) showing up to bitch about Japanese?

>>41157746
stating facts isnt bitching get over it

>>41157757
Alrighty. Whatever you say. Go ahead and get it out of your system.

>>41157714
>Equals learning JAPANESE to playing video games and watching series.
I don't think you follow this conversation very well. Learning japanese is not on par with watching the new bundle of shitty media on netflix (if you don't even pirate) or playing the new nintendo-PC game.
I never said it was just a weeaboo thing, for example, a lot of people need jp to start gaining immigration points and achieve a good quality of life inside JP.

why are you learning japanese?

>>41157836

>>41159203
It's not just any song. Ringo No Uta is a very influential song in Japanese culture. It came out right after the end of World War 2 and has major ties to it. Given my nationality and the events caused by us at that time, I'm not sure if the Japanese would find it insulting.

I was talking something similar earlier about anime and how there is a lack of real world monarchs portrayed in almost anime? I could be wrong but I think I've only seen Elizabeth once in a random comedy anime. The person I was discussing this with opined that maybe because JP also has a monarch that they try to respect not only their own but others as well. idk, would make sense why there's almost always fictional monarch but actual portrayals of...say...Oda Nobunaga but rarely(?) Tokugawa Ieyasu.

such a banger

I never actually glanced at how much a flight to Japan would cost from the US. I knew it would be expensive, but holy fuck. The only way to make it worth it is to stay there for a hot minute, but then the hotel bills would start piling up. How the fuck do you people afford it?

>>41159870
buy last minute or one year in advance

>>41159876
>buy last minute
Isn't that even more expensive?

I just noticed that both cards I've been having trouble remembering shared the same kanji. 敷く and 敷金. This will make remembering them much easier.

>>41159882
Happens to me a lot. Can't remember a card for the life of me, then I realize it has the same kanji as another card and then it's piss easy.

>>41159882
whenever i had trouble with something i would go on jisho and search with wildcard like this

Oh neat, didn't know you could do wildcards in dictionaries.

>>41159826
fluency isnt an on or off thing and the answer to your question depends on how abundant your curiosity is. curiousness can transfer to huge acquisition gains.

For anyone considering traveling to Japan, be aware that unless you live in a "First World" country, fuck off they're full. But still, even if you do live in a "First World" country, you are gonna have to reserve your trip through a travel agency. No lone traveling permitted ad hoc or off the cuff. Per...the Japanese Authorities. In other words, "Stay home huwaite piggu-tachi!"

While eating an apple the other day, I broke off a chunk of plaque on the back side of my front teeth where my tongue usually rests and now my tongue is super raw because it keeps rubbing against the small opening between the two teeth.

>>41159870

I get this work for most cases with air travel, but going to Japan I think would extremely risky this way, since they're very picky with vista and I think even require you to have the togo/back passes bought already.

>>41160663
revolutionary
>>41160656
you are thinking backwards, you don't fill the hole in the plaque dumbass youll get an infection/cavity/rot
remove the plaque as best you can, its just hard quite shit stuck to your tooth and all you have to do is scrape it with something hard (which is what dentists do)
that said you probably should pony up for a dentist if its really bad, you can break your tooth, loosen it, make a hole on it, and all sorts of other annoying things if you are stupid, and then youll have to pay the dentist even more, if whatever you do can even be fixed

>>41160202

couch surfing may be a niche thing but possible in nipland even with the coof scare still rampant there. otherwise hostels are definitely gonna be your best bet for daily travel. Although depending what month(s) you go, I would recommend finding and befriending some homeless people and see how they move daily. backpacking? car rental? how many hours can you go without sleep? would you have a normal daylight-sunset schedule? you could sleep whenever in a capsule or love hotel?

Seriously go see a dentist.

There are currently ZERO women in Japan who can even come close to being as sweet, demure humble and feminine as the average North Korean female.

This is what asian girls were like before the internet destroyed their minds.

>>41161103
Air Force, not much chance of dying in IT Field. They pay for my college and housing stuff too. Also, maybe just MAYBE, ill get to go to one of these - Misawa Air Base, Yokota Air Base, Kadena Air Base.

BROS IF U DOWNLOAD THE APP """""HELLOTALK""""" U HAVE TO SWITCH IT TO 中国語 AND NOT 日本語

ASIAN BITCHES LOOK THE SAME BUT THERES 10X AS MUCH CHINKS ARE THERE ARE JAPS!!

BROTIP!!! ALSO IF U GET BANNED / SILENCED JUST RESET UR PHONE AND MAKE A NEW ACC

>tfw my deck now has over 100 cards each review
Fuck, not going to hold long with this. I'll delete it soon

there are a lot of chink avs in the jav sites ive used for decades
is this a new trend or something
shits decent tho

>>41161300
4k what?

>Used to use +18 asmr to sleep since it was just white noise

god dammit

nta, but unironically you should join the matrix chat. links in previous thread

>>41161249
Very cute indeed, though the fact she is speaking nip fluently and being in japan herself makes me wonder if she is actually north korean. Whats the context behind that?
And btw, its true, I was in Japan and by far the most attractive girls were koreans, tho I doubt south korean living abroad would be anywhere close to sweet and humble.

>>41161250
as the other anons said, there legit is a reason why the incentives to join are abundant and eye catching. there have been a plethora of articles talking about the armed forces not meeting their recruitment goals. assuming you are in the USA, be very careful. and you have to suck a penis, make sure you discern between Steve penis and Stephanie penis, if you get my drift.
>t. my dad wanted me to join the air force pre-obama
also, for the love of otaku gyarus, if you DO go to a base in Japan, PLEASE DON'T FUCK IT UP!!! The rep for US bases in foreign countries, especially in JP is fucking atrocious

i can't tell the difference between japanese girls and korean girls before they start talking
there i said it

>>41161562
korean girls look like they have Instagram filters on even irl and have pointy chins as if they were sanded down/look like anime girls/dolls/aliens
nip girls are blockier and have bad teeth

oh no no no no

>Crisis
Had no idea but hopefully the Air Force doesn't send me to die for Ukraine. I've heard good things about the airforce from every veteran I've met including them saying they should've joined it. One retired at 40 becuase of it. I just want comfort of mind though

>>41161475
>So much stuff
Yeah it seems good but it's also because I don't want to just go into the workforce and then pay for college. I could sign up for as many scholarships as I can though. 2.7GPA so a little above average. I want to be a Network Engineer which has good pay and networking is cool.

>>41161544

Tho I would be afraid of the pending world war.

>>41161973
Getting stationed in Japan sounds like a dream come true though, maybe you can increase your chances by understanding nip well enough.

>>41161950

>>41160209
Works for me. I don’t have to put up with diseased casuals coming around and shitting up the place.

>>41162092
Same kinda of interesting to see, its like two small town girls struggling it up in the big city.
These girl's bar are weird tho, This one is particularly tight, but I don't understand what it expected of them.

>>41156495
has anyone tried writing Kanji in order to memorize it more effectively? I don't mean filling a page, just writing a little bit each day. I'm considering doing that, not sure if it's a waste of time

What’s that word that means sneak into a girls room to sex her

>>41160436
The idiom is Chinese, from 韓詩外伝, early Han period. Ancient shit. This would always be read as トウロウのおの. You have to consider context when choosing a reading.

>>41162186
didn you read the post cause that's what he's saying

>>41162181
忍び込む
its the ancient 忍法 of 中だし and vanishing before her body even hits the bed

>>41162149
Thanks. I’m fucking terrified, but it’s either get it done now, or probably have a stroke within a few years.

>>41162166
I passed kanken 1 a while ago.

Yes, it helps, immensely. Muscular memory is absolutely real; exploit it.

>>41162186
based 蟷螂の斧 connoiseur
>>41162166
i write each like 5 times or so, i like doing it, no idea if it helps anything, i just like their aesthetics, but i like to think that it does

>>41162211
it helps if you can already read kanji and japanese or it won't do jack

>>41162166
I do. it helps me get really acquainted with the details

>>41162211
what was your score?

>>41162190
He said 蟷螂 should be read as kamakiri. It should be read as トウロウ, rather, due to the context.

To be honest, I’ve only ever seen the word as 鎌切 or カマキリ. There’s little point to using 熟字訓読み spellings when less-confusing alternatives are available.

>>41162232
i think he was saying 蟷螂 should be read as かまきり alone and as とうろう in 蟷螂の斧

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkSDni8rm3o

>>41162228
The lowest possible passing score: 80%.

I was so stupidly nervous that I made some (for me) *dumb* fucking mistakes in shit I absolutely knew. I should have scored in the low nineties, it when I get nervous, that happens.

I’ll take it again later, but I have more immediate shit to deal with right now, unfortunately.

>>41162242
Ah. If that was what he was saying, then yes, of course.

>>41162254
its the only thing that makes sense here
>>41160331
>>41160368
>>41160389

>>41162266
Reading the entire exchange, that seems reasonable.

There’s no point to using stuff like 蟷螂 instead of 鎌切 except to show off or be needlessly abstruse.

>>41157836
So one day i can get the only thing a man wants

theres no way a kanken 1 passer posts in this shithole

>>41162302

>>41162320
well i'll be damned. nice. have any advice for us that's not in the guides?

>>41162408
you know you're not going to take kanken 1 so why do you ask him

>>41162320
but can you complete the ds game

>>41162421
lol

>>41162320
how much and how fast does your ability decay, youd say? do you still study a lot, do you find yourself forgetting a lot, do you find things sorta stable, and do you use anki still?

>>41159328
Sauce? And I mean the video

So its been a day now and im still trying to figure this statement out, why is it using the noun version of the word if there is a を in the clause

>>41162408
Well, my experience obviously leans overwhelmingly in one direction, but on that topic:

1. Write. As I posted above, muscular memory is very real.
2. If a kanji compound doesn’t seem to make sense, look up the problem characters individually in a good reference like 漢字源. Understanding the nuances helps immensely. Sometimes, you might encounter obnoxious and misleading substitutions like 障礙->障害.
3. Get at least the basics of literary Jap down. It helps a great deal in understanding expressions and idioms, like why it’s すべき and not するべき. Check out Japanese: A Grammar by Haruo Shirane; great place to start.
4. Invest in an electronic dictionary. The amount of time they’ll save you in the long run in immense. I recommend the Sharp Brain series: far less expensive than Casio stuff, better contents and performance. Just be sure to get the 教養 model.
5. Pic related was invaluable for getting accustomed to early-modern-style writing. Very good for forewarning of the pitfalls.
6. At least a high school-level of understanding of 漢文訓読 is very useful. The knowledge will tie together Jap and the Chinese language substrate which permeates it.

>>41162462
it's て form

>>41162421
>>41162427
Lol, indeed.

Those games (I have a few) are actually pretty good and fun for the lower levels, though.

>>41162464
Awesome post. Not the anon that asked but thanks.

>>41161369
You can always use SFW ASMR, there're many performers on YT

>>41162466
So can the other forms be implied or just て form?

>>41162486
Cheers.

I’ve actually been thinking about putting together a proper guide with my hundreds of pages of notes I took, but I’m also the scared-shitless-of-needed-heart-surgery poster, so I got some more pressing stuff going on just now.

>>41162499
Best of lucks with that.

>>41162471
its an inside joke. a tripfag here claimed he is kanken 2 because he passed the level in the 3ds game and everyone laughed

>>41162499
judging from your previous posts it’s something preventative like stents you’ll be fine

>>41162520
Ah...

Wait, oh, god, he was serious? The contents for levels 2 and below are reasonably good on those games, so if he could regularly get perfect marks on 2, he *might* have been able to pass the real thing.

Levels pre-1 and 1 are best defined as “samplers”, with maybe a few dozen questions in each category, so you’re looking at less than 0.1% of the actual scope.

Still, those games were fun and probably did help get me into serious study.

>>41162539
Thanks, anon.

It’s actually probably simpler even than that: it’s regular atrial fibrillation which — with my medical history — will almost certainly cause a heart attack or stroke within a few years — to say nothing of how it just makes my life miserable.

The treatment involves running a catheter into my heart, zapping it to determine which bits of it are playing off-key from the rest of the band, then killing those parts via cauterisation.

It’s pretty safe, but shit happens. At least they’ll probably be extra-careful, since having some white guy die on the table would be super-shitty publicity.

>>41162545
the game is not good it auto recognizes kanji which would definitely get marked wrong on the real exam because you wrote them with the wrong stroke endings

i thought i knew the te form but i dont know the te form

These Maid cafes/Girl's Bar are a very funny concept, kinda sad, but also worth it, if you think about its all you can drink.
But at the same time I can only imagine shady things from them. And at the same time, I can't imagine its hard to just go out, meet people and start talking to some girls.

>>41162585
its not as shady as youd think, not all of them, anyway, a friend of mine worked in one for a while and nothing untoward happened (that i know off), it was just a job. shes hot too

>>41162568
Absolutely, but if he’s regularly passing 2, his writing probably isn’t quite that bad.

He might actually have the opportunity to try to prove it. My understanding is that levels 2 and below can be taken via some kind of electronic test. I don’t know if that involves special software, or mailing out a custom-configured tablet, or what, but he may be able to try taking it even if he isn’t here in Moonland.

>>41162585
the blue one turns me on

>>41162603
you still have to go to a test center. the only difference is they let you take the exam on a drawing tablet

>>41162565
the japanese are on point with their cardiology, your nodes are fine and you haven’t had a cardiovascular event to fuck the co balance, you’ll be fine don’t worry man

>>41162462
重ね? It is the noun form, but strictly speaking, it’s just the connective, the 連用形. It’s also used just as a simple connective, but comes off as as kind of formal, so doesn’t get used in speech much.

Just mentally stick a て on the end if it still looks weird.

>>41162612
Really? I never bothered looking into it since it never applied to my level, but I had been wondering about how they’d stop cheating.

Okay, that raises another question: what’s the point of using a tablet at all, then? What advantage could there be over good ol’ paper and pencil? It seems like overengineering to me: just more stuff to go wrong.

>>41162621
You sound like you know what you’re talking about, so thanks, I do feel a bit better. I just wish I could get it over with now, but it’s still a month and a half out.

>>41162632
you can hit a button and it'll instantly erase everything you drew. tablets also give better contrast than pencil on paper letting you spot mistakes faster

Thanks i was starting to worry if i was not making good progress.

Reasons I am pro-life

I used to work at an abortion clinic and I saw some extremely fucked up shit there which is why I'm so anti-abortion now. This is just SOME of the horrible stuff I personally witnessed:

A 23 year old woman came in 11 months into her pregnancy and said "I don't want this stupid baby anymore, kill it" and the doctor said "okay" and he put jumper cables up her baby hole and connected them to a car battery and let it run for six days straight

A little 8-year old girl wandered in and said "I want an abortion but I am not pregnant" and the doctor said "we'll fix that" and he stole a baby and cut the girl open and put the baby inside her and sewed her shut and then woke the girl up and said "congratulations it's a healthy six year old boy" and the girl said "can I keep him" and the doctor said no and then backed over her in the parking lot with his brand new Ford Raptor

They made me sign an agreement promising to stop drinking from the medical waster container (I signed somebody else's name)

One of the doctors there developed a futuristic ray gun that could make anything he shot have an abortion, even trees, cars or barns

The receptionist threw nail polish at an elderly man

The doctor's assistant invented this thing she called "the silly slide" and it was a really fun little water slide that connected a woman's vagina to a paper shredder so a newborn baby could briefly "enjoy the high life"

The oldest child we aborted was in his late 70s, we didn't even know he was a baby until his wife brought in photos

The doctors put all sorts of crap up a woman's uterus including a clown nose, bicycle handlebars, a calendar, and an entire Sears retail outlet (before bankruptcy)

During every succesful abortion, the doctor would shout "take that, baby" and he'd push a red button that made sirens go off and confetti fell from the ceiling and we'd all get Del Taco for free

>>41162650
I guess that might be a bit more convenient, but still seems like a bad trade-off.

Funnily enough, it might have helped me once. The first time I took the test, I was so nervous that I stupidly filled in the wrong section of the answer sheet. A quick-erase function would have been nice there.

lmfao

>>41162665
Yeah, don’t sweat it.

The connective て comes from the perfective auxiliary つ, so while for most intents and purposes, whether there is a て or not makes no semantic difference, but if you really want to be autistic about it, a て suggests a stronger causal link, a more “...and then...” feel to it.

what character is being used here? all I could find are 阿 and 婀 but i don't think either of those is it. the artist is chinese so maybe there's not a kanji for it? (sorry, I don't know exactly how this stuff works)

>>41162743
啊. Think of it as a pure phonetic character. Dialectical Chinese has created a shitload of 口+音符-type characters for local words, that don’t really mean much more than their sounds. She’s just screaming “AAAAAAAAAA!”

do you do still/ did you do anki? how fast are you forgetting things?

>>41162936
I do anki yeah but I feel like some words just aren't sticking enough like 辛抱、通報 I forget them about 2 days later if not the next day. Pic attached if helps anything. I do about 100+ reviews a day with 20 new cards per day

>>41162936
I only ever used Anki for 四字熟語 and certain 当字/熟字訓読み that gave me extra trouble. I ended up creating several custom decks with a lot of related information, but I haven’t used them in a while, especially a lot of it is pretty esoteric.

I don’t really “forget” very much, but it definitely takes me a few moments sometimes to conjure up the right reading or writing for the more obscure stuff. My brain sometimes feels like a well-used library I haven’t been to in a while, so everything is still there, but sometimes buried under a bit of dust. I’ve been meaning to do a full review soon, since I haven’t done any hard-core study since February.

>>41163026
The first time I reviewed, that was pretty much the case, but I’ve been over this material many, many times. It’s like tying your shoes for the first time after wearing sandals all summer: it feels weird at first, but it all comes back quickly. I always do worry that it’s all going to slip away, but when I do finally review, I’m always pleased (and relieved) at how much I’ve retained. It’s also kinda fun.

Most of my material in the form of physical notes, anyway, like in pic.

>>41163055
Strangely, it isn’t so bad. I’ll probably go from about ~99% correct to ~90% on the first go-round, but next time, it’ll be just like when I was in my weeb-prime state. I just need to knock the dust from the shelf *once* and then it’s smooth sailing again.

It’s just that a full review takes literally a few weeks at this point. My 四字熟語 decks alone have a total of maybe 8000 unique entries, not even including the extra info I’ve added. Then there are several hundred dense pages of notes like what I posted.

It’s a significant undertaking, and I want to try to enjoy the rest of the summer and autumn with my wife first.
