retarded?

>>41984416
the bet was that the end value would be 50 - 75% of the start value. in other words result = end/start x 100%
what you are showing is different

how do you do my fellow weebs

shes literally me

>>41984482

I am learning Russian

im a man tho

>>41984456
>result = end/start x 100%
That's one way of calculating it.

Another way is simply 100% - 66.36% = 33.64%, which was that guy's point. The two methods are mathematically equivalent.
He's point out that 33.64% isn't within the range of 50 - 75%, and thus !!wFpRi89zT+S lost the bet.

George Trombley isn't doing so good bros...worst case he gets his leg amputated. Fuck. And his mom died of cancer at 53.

He taught me a lot in the beginning with his excellent video series.

You can find his japanese videos by searching for "japanese from zero"

george trombone is bluepilled. he knows very little japanese. he's not into immersion learning.
>worst case he gets his leg amputated
explain

is there any reason not to follow a particular guide? I'm not necessarily concerned with implementing inefficient language learning practices. I'm sure anyone who's actively trying to improve upon their study method would eventually figure out a more efficient method on their own. I'm more concerned with resources that are outdated. The itazuraneko guide seems like the traditional approach but might be outdated. The tatsumoto guide seems more involved and pretty efficient, but at the same time is a bit too involved and autistic.

i look at the kanji in anki and dont know wtf this word is, then i hear the word audio and know perfectly what it is. good enough or fail?

>if bitcoin is not at 50-75%, i expect YOU to pay out
as you admit, it is not in that range, therefore jamal owes the bitcoin

>>/jp/?task=search&ghost=&search_text=tatsumoto
you can see proof of the above there and even in the ads the retard copy pastes everywhere.
as for the rest all guides come down to "find something you like, find a way to interact with a dictionary you can stomach, repeat"
humans have done that since the beginning of civilization and it doesn't get "outdated"
only "innovations" are anki (many many years ago and really people did flashcards manually before), and hover dictionaries.

>>41984627
dame tatsucuck really isn't well

>>41984639

yeah miniyoga spams but imagine wasting your time making shit to spam back at him
you both are garbage

>>41984627
kys, analcream.

>>41984619
nobody can spoonfeed you the exact details for your specific learning process and the underlying method stays the same anyways. if you understand that you need to immerse yourself in native material as a basis and then do complementary active study via for example anki and grammar explanations, you have all the knowledge you need already. everything else is just escapism and not wanting to actually do it, focusing on minute details of some "perfect method" instead of actually doing what needs to be done no matter what: listening and reading a lot.

>>41984666
thanks, anon. I guess I'm getting too caught up in the details.

why do lyrics always use different words that the ones being sung for the lolz
don't these retarded japs understand the concept of lyrics? I want to know the exact words and sing them at the same time without having to predict any weird readings like im reading fucking chuunige
I you said そら in your song i want it written as 空 in your lyrics not as 宇宙 you dumb fucking bitch

ngmi

>>41984682
there are some tools of course that can be a big help but even they are far from necessary (see >>41984627)

you should focus only on setting things up to a point where you have a working workflow and then ignore everything beyond that as the devil trying to bait you into giving up your precious nihongo time for some garbage that takes way too much effort for only a tiny benefit if even that

>>41984701
this but for manga where they hit you with katakana furigana of a english loan word on top of a perfectly good japanese word. just use one or the other my autism cant deal with this shit

>>41984600
Sorry, you're right. !!wFpRi89zT+S won and jamal lost.

>>41984658
extremely no but im talented

Where does everyone go when the usual sources don't have a tankoubon you're looking for? If someone wants to spoonfeed me, I'm looking for the seventh volume of Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume.

>>41984845
did you try zlibrarys tor? if its not there or on nyaa, you can try looking at dlraw.net
good luck

i like to imagine tatsumoto and anacreon are both yuri tsuderes that secretly love each other.

If I jumped into a fusion reactor do you think everything would be forgiven? Do you think I'd be able to sleep again like I used to?

why does 出来物 mean what it means?

>>41984984
“That which emerges”.

Not too strange when you consider the English word “eruption” can take the same meaning.

>have to fight with my brain for months to read 他人事 as ひとごと until I don't have to think about it anymore
>reading some vinnie today and one of the character pronounced it as たにんごと
yeah japs just do whatever the fuck they want with how they pronounce their shit, i won't bother with it anymore and just read the words the way that is the most convenient for me

>>41985104
That isn’t so much “reading it the way they want” by any kind of conscious choice as it is just making a very common and easy error.

Just keep learning the right ones while being aware of the mistakes even natives tend to make. You’re doing it right already.

>>41984906
Yup, tried those already. Pretty strange, since it should have been out for three years now - did nobody really bother to scan and upload the entire thing? Seems hard to believe.

>>41984558
wait what?

what is the best way to mass dl from dlraw?

>>41985221
depends what you consider 'best' and if paying a bit of money is off the table

>>41985249
well most convenient and least time consuming
how much is a bit of money?

>>41985272
if you want to go free, but slow, go for a download manager like jdownloader 2
otherwise you'll need to pay for premium file host access, never pay the file hosters directly, note which file hosters you need and look into multi services like real debrid

>>41986075

It's just Anki, and it's no particular deck, it's just the basic mining setup.
It has an "example" sentence because that's the sentence I mined it from in the wild.

>>41985977

you should be using targeted sentence cards for such words.

>>41986094
How did you populate the fields? That deck/content/set-up looks absolutely perfect for me.

Did you fill it in field by field?

>>41986126
What do you mean?
It's literally in that screenshot. That's my yomichan settings. It's all automatic.
At most I manually add a screenshot if I have a relevant screenshot to add (like on something I mined from manga, picrel).
If you don't know how to use yomichan you should read the animecards site in OP, it'll get you up to speed.

>>41985925
any way to stop akebi putting the reading on the front?
i tried it the other day but couldn't figure out how

>>41985817
The first sentence is a simple statement of fact, while the second sentence adds a feeling of regret or apology for forgetting the wallet.

>>41986148
No idea how to use yomichan, but I’ll certainly check it out. Thanks.

>>41986159
That one annoyed me as well.
Instead of using the default, you have to make a custom export profile. Pic rel is mine, basically you just need to put "kanji" on the front field instead of "kanji with furigana" which is otherwise the default.

>>41986182
ahh i see, fantastic. thanks anon

>>41986180
read https://tatsumoto.neocities.org/blog/setting-up-yomichan.html

Meanwhile I am braking down compounds to have easier time learning them, adding audio, translating the mined sentence as well, because i don¨t know what it means, turn kanji into kana so i can read the sentence and add grammar when mined word is in non-standard form and accompanied by auxiliary verbs and similar.

>>41986243
>translating the mined sentence as well, because i don¨t know what it means
on flash cards? ngmi

>>41986250
When I don't need it, I will stop it. Reading haven't clicked for me yet and I translate it so that I can see why it means, what it means.

Why aren't you using gpt-chat instead of this thread full of retards?

Question 1

What is meant by

手術をするロボットなくさんあって

I don't get the なくさん part, Jisho doesn't come up with anything. This is from a Tobira text.

In this sentence, なくさん is a combination of the negative form of the verb ある (to exist) and the suffix さん (a colloquial and familiar form of the suffix 〜たち, which indicates a group of people or things). So, the full phrase なくさんあって means "there are not many [of something]."

In the context of the sentence you provided, 手術をするロボットなくさんあって means "there are not many surgical robots."
Question 2

What's the difference between:

経る (へる)

経つ (たつ)

they both seem to mean when time passes and both are intransitive as well so I don't know the difference.

Yes, both 経る (へる) and 経つ (たつ) can be translated as "to pass (time)," and they are both intransitive verbs. However, there is a subtle difference in usage between the two.

経る (へる) is used to describe the passage of time in a more general or abstract sense, or to describe how time passes in relation to a particular event or situation. For example, you might use 経る to describe the passage of time in a person's life, or the passage of time from one season to the next.

経つ (たつ), on the other hand, is used to describe the passage of time in a more specific or measurable way. For example, you might use 経つ to talk about how long it takes for something to happen, or how much time has passed since a specific event.

So, while the two verbs can be used to describe similar concepts, 経る is more abstract and 経つ is more specific.
Question 3

私キチンと水族館を楽しめる計画立ててきてるの。。。 What does adding きてる to the sentence do at the end?

In this sentence, きてる is the continuative form of the verb きる, which is the auxiliary verb used to indicate that an action or event is in progress or has been completed. When added to the end of a sentence, きてる indicates that the action or event described by the main verb is in progress.

In the sentence you provided, 私キチンと水族館を楽しめる計画立ててきてるの。。。, the main verb is 計画立てる (to plan), and the きてる at the end indicates that the speaker is in the process of planning something. The overall meaning of the sentence is "I'm in the process of making a plan to enjoy the aquarium properly."
Question 4

How can I say “he comforted her” in Japanese? As in, perhaps she is crying and he’s trying to make her feel better with either words or a hug Also, is there a distinction between comforting (as in an upset adult) and soothing (as in a crying baby)? Thank you

To say "he comforted her" in Japanese, you can use the following phrases:

彼は彼女を慰めた。 かれはかのじょをなぐさめた。

These sentences use the verbs 慰める (to comfort) and なぐさめる (to comfort, to console), which are both commonly used to describe the act of providing emotional support to someone who is upset or in distress.

There is a slight difference in meaning between the two verbs. 慰める suggests providing comfort or support through words or actions, while なぐさめる suggests providing physical comfort, such as through a hug or touch. So, if the person was providing emotional support through words or actions, you would use 慰める, and if they were providing physical comfort, you would use なぐさめる.

As for a distinction between comforting an upset adult and soothing a crying baby, there is no specific vocabulary for this in Japanese. In general, you would use the same verbs (慰める or なぐさめる) to describe comforting or soothing someone, regardless of their age. However, you could add additional details to the sentence to specify the age or situation of the person being comforted, such as 彼女は泣いている赤ちゃんをなぐさめた (she comforted the crying baby) or 彼女は落ち込んでいる彼女を慰めた (she comforted her girlfriend who was feeling down).
Question 5

> ずっとゲームをしないでたまには勉強もする。

> Instead of continuously gaming, I occasionally also study.

I don't understand the で here. It can't be the te-form of だ because -ない is an i-adjective. It can't be the instrumental/locative case particle either because -ない is an adjective and not a noun. So what is it then?

In this sentence, で is not the te-form of the copula だ or the instrumental/locative case particle. Instead, it is being used as a conjunction, similar to the English word "while."

In Japanese, the particle で can be used to indicate the means or method by which an action is performed, as in 電車で行く (to go by train) or ペンで書く (to write with a pen). However, it can also be used in a more general way to indicate a simultaneous or parallel action, similar to the English word "while."

In the sentence you provided, ずっとゲームをしないでたまには勉強もする。, the で is being used in this second way to indicate that the speaker is not continuously gaming, but instead is occasionally also studying. So, the overall meaning of the sentence is "While not continuously gaming, I occasionally also study."

>In this sentence, なくさん is a combination of the negative form of the verb ある (to exist) and the suffix さん (a colloquial and familiar form of the suffix 〜たち, which indicates a group of people or things). So, the full phrase なくさんあって means "there are not many [of something]."

holy shit even reditors have trouble packing this much retardation in a single sentence. I never thought even trolling would get taken over by ai...

Am I the only one so retarded that I keep getting these 3 readings mixed up?
しょく

Idk if it's because they sound too similar, but I basically always get wrong the words with these readigns because I pick the wrong one... what do.

>>41986297
> In this sentence, なくさん is a combination of the negative form of the verb ある (to exist) and the suffix さん (a colloquial and familiar form of the suffix 〜たち, which indicates a group of people or things). So, the full phrase なくさんあって means "there are not many [of something]."

Where is the fuck are you getting that insanity? なく isn’t a verb, it’s an adjective. さん derives from さま(様) and has nothing to do with たち. There is no way to apply that absurdly-forced grammatical interpretation.

You know what makes more sense? That someone mistyped たくさん as なくさん.

Retards, indeed...

example:
>いつか終わる儚い生命(ゆめ)に
>ただ こみあげる気持ち抱いた
>忘れないから...消えゆく命(まぼろし)に
>君と並んでいたね

someone post the fate scene where shirou is trying to rationalize how even though he says "trace on" everytime it has different kanji and is different for different spells

Why 役割語 is never translated into the corresponding English outdated lingo or jargon actually.

>>41987324
It is sometimes.
And let me tell you it's a huge pain in the ass, I doubt many people like it.

>>41986560
The word 「おる」 does not exist in Japanese. The correct word to use in this phrase is 「いる」, which is the Japanese word for "to be" or "to exist." It is used to indicate the presence of something or someone. The word 「ある」 is also a word for "to be" or "to exist," but it is used for inanimate objects or abstract concepts.

What are some DJT approved android apps?
I've been using kanji tree for kanji, but not sure what to download for vocabulary and grammar.

>>41987988
As for learning Japanese, there are many excellent android apps available that can help with kanji, vocabulary, and grammar. Some popular options include Duolingo, Memrise, and JapanesePod101. These apps offer a variety of lessons and exercises to help users improve their Japanese language skills. I recommend trying out a few different apps to see which one works best for you.

>>41988056
Any options that can be used offline?

>>41988076
Yes, there are many android apps that can be used offline for learning Japanese. Some popular options include Japanese Grammar Dictionary, Japanese Kanji Study, and Anki. These apps can be downloaded and used without an internet connection, allowing you to study and practice your Japanese language skills even when you're not connected to the internet.

Additionally, many apps that require an internet connection also have options for downloading lessons and exercises for offline use. For example, Duolingo allows users to download lessons and exercises to their device so they can study even when they don't have an internet connection. I recommend checking the settings or options in the app you are using to see if there are any options for offline use.

>mixing japanese and english
Literally harder than pure japanese

All of the guides are 95% the same.

1. Learn kana
2. Read a basic grammar guide
3. Do a core deck
4. Read and mine until fluent

Everything else boils down to a bunch of retards arguing over which starter anki deck is 5% more efficient than the other even though it doesn't really matter in the long run. In fact, there's very little worth discussing at all when it comes to learning Japanese because the process is so simple and straightforward. Every minute you spend in this thread would be better spent immersing. Unless you're more devoted to the war between tatsucuckold and analcream than you are to learning japanese, you should leave this place.

If you meant オクトリング then: suckers on inside or outside of tentacles, total of 8 or 10 limbs, different teeth, eyes connected or not, very slightly different body shape.

オクタリアン is the literal tentacle enemy dudes in the single player.

Both Cambridge and dictionary.com (Collins?) give /ˈnaɪt.taɪm/, and I feel my own typical American accent realizes the first /t/ as a [ʔ]

I was listening to character responses in a game and i came to conclusion that i will never be able to learn japanese the same way i learned to understood english. The language is just way too difficult and way too fast, with way too many unknows, I have no vocab, their grammar is completely alien, the only way i can understand japanese sentence is when i read it backwards (which means i can't understand spoken japanese ever), i can't read kanji and compounds and characters can be pretty expressive and eloquent in Japanese which is something i will never be able to understand.

I just do it for the process. But I will eventually forget I was learning the language because it's not something I know i can actually achieve. Englsh is more natural language to learn, barely needs any studying and it's syntax is natural, nothing like As for me, the book is read-able bullshit. Humans don't talk like that.

okay

>another n6 gives up before they even begin

>>41992580
this is what happens when the only Japanese you've consumed is the sentences you've tried to analyze
unironically uou need to white noise for a little bit at the beginning and just notice little vocab bits
doesn't matter how many words you've memorized out of context

Lmao this is amazing. I just responded to a Japanese poster yesterday elsewhere on 4chan that made this exact post but in Japanese talking about English. The spelling and grammar make no sense, no particles so you're dependent on strict word order but suddenly words mean entirely different things in different orders, no wonder English speakers are so stupid.
>Humans don't talk like that
Even said this exact phrase. "It's more suited to programming than anything a human would ever say."

>>41992780
tldr but what is amazing

>It's more suited to programming
the japanese poster is objectively the stupider one

>>41992811
>>>/int/174699420

>>41992820
Several other Japanese posters also poked fun at him. But the reality is English and Japanese are just so widely divorced from one another that it just takes lots of time. I see this post in both languages by beginners all the time. Just kinda funny.

Really the dumbest post in that thread is the long English post with a random suicide declaration he's complaining about though.

>>41992839
not as divorced as your mama

>>41992839
yeah japanese and english are pretty opposite in many ways and its not surprising that people feel the same on both sides

one language you need to learn 26 characters to read everything you want, one you need to learn 4000+ characters or learn how to read every words in the language, and still need to learn the alphabet because they use it too
I wonder what's the most stupid take

>>41992780
My issue is that you can't read japanese from left to right, you need to start for right to left, because they don't use prepositions like normal people. This make normal immersion impossible since you are waiting for the sentence to end so you can start parsing it to make sense of what was said, but of course you have to pause, better write the sentence down and there will be hundreds of those auxiliary verbs, sentence long noun-phrases modifying one single adjectival-noun, sentence ending particles that can be interpreted in seven different ways depending on context. And in japanese inanimate objects are actually animate objects so good luck finding out what is going on when it's the stupid water is doing the action of drinking.

>>41992158
yeah never heard of him *snorts*

>>41992909
if you think japanese is bad take a look at chinese where before the 1900s dictionaries only communicated pronunciation and tone by comparing to other characters so every region in china had pronunciation diverge much more quickly than anywhere in the west and thats why all of the chinese languages are mutually unintelligible

let's be real
at the end of the day
you want to learn a language because you want to fornicate with the women who speak it

>>41992938
this is the kind of thing someone who doesnt know japanese would say lmfao

>>41992909
Imagine thinking learning 26 characters makes you able to read English. Imagine saying something so obviously wrong hoping to hoping someone might actually believe you were serious.

>>41992938
Sounds like the problem is with you, senpai. I don't read Japanese from right to left. I read it from top to bottom.

>>41992938
Your issue is that you are thinking about Japanese through an English or western lens.
Stop thinking so much about grammar rules and just become Japanese

>>41992969

>>41992973
I can't read japanese as easily as you do. I need to translate every single word and slowly painstakingly move to see what is modifying what and only after that i can assume what the sentence means because in japanese it just sounds so unnatural. If I could read, I would.

what are the best manga subscriptions?

>>41992909
this is wrong, in english every word uses a different combination of those 24 characters, with no real logic or consistency between how a word is written, and how its pronounced.
English has some 40k different glyph combinations one needs to know to be fluent
Japanese only has some 4k, and the glyphs themselves impart meaning even if one doesn't know the word
teh srcamling tinhg porevs each word is stored as a unit and not a series of characters, which really is the same as the way kanji work.

>>41993014
no you don't need to do that, you just think you do
