/jp/ - Otaku Culture

You know how to recognize that your Japanese is really good?
People won't say that line.

Did someone else actually get it?

>>549380
In fact, I have never seen yet person who can speak Japanese fluently like native Japanese. Of course, the people who were born in Japan are exception.
Do you want Japanese to say that your Japanese is not fluent enough?

>>549444
Exactly. It is the same line, always, word by word.
It's annoying. I don't even have a JLPT 3, how could my Japanese be "very good"?
You learn to simply ignore that setence fast, though.

I met this asian guy once who's lived in Japan since he was 19. People think he is Japanese.

>>549468
They should stop mentioning it.

Although once someone mentioned my Japanese was free of accent (not in the sense of stress), I don't know how to value that.

Only Korean have the talent can speak Japanese almost equal to Japanese. But if he/she says some words, he/she is found that he/she is Korean. For example, Korean can not pronounce Z, they pronounce like J. And there are many words like Z.

>They should stop mentioning it.
It is impossible for ordinary Japanese. For normal Japanese, it is rare to meet non-Japanese who can speak Japanese. So it is natural to say that your Japanese is nice. Japan is not country that is made from immigrants.

>>549488
and only japs can fail at english so hard.

>>549536
You are so stupid and your post means nothing. Some Japanese pro football player play in some European countries. and if native people say your language is nice, Japanese never go mad.

TRANSLATION: YOU'RE NOT VERY GOOD AT JAPANESE

>>549551
To praise non-Japanese peoples' Japanese is propriety for Japanese people. You stupid non-Japanese should study Japanese culture.

>>549561
My detailed study of Japanese culture reveals that kind lies and insincere flattery are the grease of polite conversation.

>>549570
I DO NOT understand what you want to say. If you want to say Japanese is impolite? It is polite to say some lies, for world peace. Do you want some insult everyday from Japanese or other foreign people? Japanese DO NOT think so.

>>549380
Needs more bloom

>>549583

Well it's one thing to lie if someone asks you directly, but it could be taken the other way if you say something like that without being asked about whether their Japanese is good or not.

>>549583

Your english is very good, BTW. (That was sarcasm)

>>549595
well, read >>549514 one million times, at least.

>>549583
The question is this: why given an insincere compliment if it wasn't asked for? Unless the person asked "how's my Japanese?" there's no reason to compliment his speaking, and even if he asks, it's a disservice to lie and deny him the chance to improve.

Here we have a rule of politeness that states: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

>>549599
You are just meanie. your post is not sarcasm at all. Why every single non-Japanese is stupid like you.

>>549608
well, read >>549514 one million times, at least.

>>549611

No it was sarcasm because I didn't mean what I was said. I'm just trying to help you understand.

>>549619
Yes. I knew you are crazy like Korean.

>>549608
Hypothetical: You have a girlfriend and you're going out on a date. She is dressed pretty plainly, nothing bad but nothing amazing, would you still tell her she looked nice?

>>549627

No. I also tell her she's fat every time she asks, whether she is or not. One of many reasons I am alone.

>>549634

This is not specific for Japanese.

Native English speakers tend to compliment on your English as well, if they find you are a second-language speaker. Mostly when they ask where you are from.

>>549627

Okay okay, point taken. It's still a bit different though to compliment someone on a language they've had to put a lot of effort into to learn compared to a date, though. Even if they make you wait a half hour to get ready.

Native English speakers tend to compliment on your English as well, when they find out you are a second-language speaker.

wow, what a bunch of ungrateful brats.

if someone tells you your japanese is nice, TAKE TE COMPLIMENT, THEYRE TRYING TO BE NICE.

sitting around and wondering why they told you that because you never asked for input? seriously, didnt momma teach you manners?

>>549627
anon does not know how to have a girlfriend, you always tell her she looks nice.

>>549444

BS. It was said to Maria because she appears foreign and is obviously not a native to Japan. Even if you did grow up in Japan and can speak the language fluently, as long as you appear foreign, it's expected to get a compliment like this if they're impressed with your ability to carry on a natural conversation.

>>549488

Also BS. My family is from Taiwan and can fluently speak Japanese, along with many other Taiwanese people I've met. Koreans are able to learn Japanese easily because of similar pronunciation, but still have difficulties breaking bad habits from their native language.

Actually what you're supposed to do is vehemently deny in fluent Japanese that you're good at Japanese,

When they say they like your Japanese, it really means they like your dick. Hope you know the closest love hotel.
