Previous thread: >>16277099

This thread is for the discussion and learning of Japanese with raw otaku media.
If you have no interest in otaku media we recommend heading over to /int/'s 日本語スレッド.
Please use sage. This isn't /a/ or /int/, you don't have to keep bumping the thread all the time for no reason.

Let's have a nice thread by reporting and ignoring off-topic posts.

Why are you getting so upset over something you don't even know the circumstances to? We were forced off by the mods, and doing that has caused much more trouble than whatever problem they were trying to solve. Every thread we have people complaining and saying the same things. All these posts are making the threads shitty, if we would just discuss the actual thread topic and stop meta posting about things we can't change it wouldn't be that bad. I don't want to go to /int/ where there are flags to identify people for no reason and the thread doesn't even resemble djt anymore. This board is a general graveyard anyway, stop acting like we're desecrating something holy.

The threads on /jp/ have so many posts because of all the meta-shitposts and /jp/ is so slow with this thread surviving being on autosage for almost a whole week. On /a/ or /int/, this thread would have been purged so many times due to the normal speed of those boards. This thread is only a safe-space on life support for a bunch of Davido-kuns.

While this is true, there's really no reason to, it's not like 苺ましまろ is that much more amazing than other cute SoL manga which does have furigana. You're better off just reading them and getting good enough to not rely on it so much.

I just started learning Japanese, and I was told I'll need to know 2,000-3,000 Kanji. Now is this just base Kanji like tree and sun, or is it including the ones that are a combination of two like Japan and Queen

[Anonymous No.]

>>16301054
麗議機職曜騰 <- those are some of the "basic" ones you should know from the 2000-3000 pool.

And there are a lot of simple but unnecessary or rarely used kanji, like 狸.

Focus on learning the 2200 joyo kanji for now, by the time you finish that you will know which additional ones you might need to learn. Bear in mind you will keep learning new kanji every now and then, as there are dozens of thousands and fancy writers like using obscure ones.

Anki is not needed but can be a very important supplement to your studies.
Especially mining and learning words you read and still know in what context you learned them helps a lot.

Come on, is that all? If you see an unfamiliar kanji all you have to do is plug it into anki and learn it, that's your easiest task. The hard part is learning grammar, casual abbreviations and contextual disambiguations which won't appear in a dictionary and can't be put on a flashcard.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm with anon here. >>16301251 I hate anki but being able to build my own base of vocabulary is too useful to drop it.

It's especially useful for words that are not necessarily repeated many times in whatever stuff you're reading. Reading it once or twice might not be enough to remember it and this is where anki can help.

With that said these days I'm wondering about the day I'll become too fed up with the English translations of words I mined, and what I'll decide to do then. Perhaps I'll restart a new mining deck but this time with Japanese definitions, eh.

Speaking of amazon, used manga and such are sometimes at extremely low prices, sadly they don't ship internationally.

I suppose buying those through a proxy would be a very good deal? I assume Japanese people take care of their stuff so even if it's not new it'll be as if it were.

But if you go to your own amazon, you should have Japanese shipping companies shipping stuff to you at low price. Amazon France has those at least. Problem is often the cost of the item is way too high so it balances out and ends up not being worth it, but sometimes you have good deals.

Yeah the shipping is cheap but the price itself is three times the original. Buying from Japanese amazon with SAL would be cheaper

It depends on the item, at least with Amazon US. Some items are only offered as priority whereas others can be selected with the slow cheap shipping.

Having said that, every single item I've tried from Amazon jp only offers priority shipping. Like another anon said, check out other sellers / different amazons. Sometimes they have places that ship directly from Japan and offer free shipping.

ATEJI: is there a fixed table of ateji for each sound, or did these crazy chinks select any kanji they felt like that suited the sound?

Here's hoping there's a clear-cut table of them so I can study it.

Are there any other good sites for books? I actually prefer cdjapan to amazon since it offers SAL for everything, allows payment with Paypal and most of the stuff there is cheaper.

I would recommend just using the handful of most common kanji for a given reading. If someone asked you what kanji first springs to mind when you hear "め", your answer would most likely be 目. And indeed, the め in おめでとう is written as 目 in ateji: お目出度う.
There are also kanji which are often used for their phonetic value, like 伊 for い and 亜 for あ, and they're commonly employed in ateji; and if you take a look at, say, a chart of country ateji, you'll begin to notice some common trends, like 利, 太 and 加 being used for り, た and か respectively.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16303017
>目
Sadly, the rule is short-lived, since we have a米rika. And 太 is used instead of 田, for instance.

I was thinking about making a table myself going the country name route, yes. It probably won't cover for ALL sounds, but that might giving a starting palette that is consistent enough.

Or maybe I should get a list of ateji words and make a pool for every sound, sorting by frequency. That would require programming though, and I have no knowledge on that.

Is there an anki deck that has at least one word for every jouyou kanji in it? how about core 10k?

Alternatively is there a deck that has all jouyou kanji + example words?

Let me explain m yset up. I have 1 desktop space that is full screen manga. The next desktop space is a browser taking up half the screen, and anki taking up the other. It has the card making window open. The browser is navigated to jisho.org. If I see a word I don't know, I switch over to jisho, look it up and then type it into anki.

Core 30k is PRETTY complete, not sure if it has a 100% coverage though.

Core 10k has almost every joyo kanji, only about 100 lacking, so you might consider doing that.

Whenever I finish the Core10k, my intention is getting Core30k for mining the remaining joyo I can find there. Then, if there are still joyo kanji left, I will manually pick them from dictionaries and learn a single word containing them which I consider the most useful-looking. (If there is a verb form with just that kanji, I'll also learn it).

This is going to be a dumb question but what's the way to express that something is a mistake in the sense that it is the way it is but was never supposed to be that way.

Like "Having this child was a mistake" in the sense that there was never an intent to have a child. Is it still chigau? Because that doesn't feel right I guess and seems like the sort of thing when you want to express that thing is X when the reality is Y, or something to that degree, I don't know.

And while I'm asking, what's the difference between chigau and machigau?

Is this the right place to be asking? It was the first place that came to mind.

Yeah if you have 6 hours a day and you're honestly going to spend that time studying, you can just read.

Anki is just for people that spend far less time than that. Even an average person can handle 50-100 new words a day with 2 hours of anki time. You'd be spending 10-15 mins at a time waiting for a new word within 2-3 months at that rate.

He's probably been doing it for a short period, not enough to be an Anki drone. And probably bruteforcing his way through Anki to be able to read and not become one.

I am a true, state-certified 12-month old Anki drone and until last month I had never read anything. Now I can read simple books looking at a dictionary only once or twice per page (I skip some words that don't look important).

So no, it's not the same level as I was before, since I had no vocabulary nor kanji knowledge. Looking stuff up is what hindered me back and now it's reduced enough that I don't feel unmotivated.

But I still only read occasionally, Anki is the only study I do on a daily basis.

A traditional VN is told from the first-person perspective, with the intent of the player "self-inserting", or taking on the feeling of becoming the main protagonist. This is reinforced with the choices by the MC reflected in the events of the game, and the artistic style of having the other character's sprites facing the screen, as if look out your monitor at you as they talk to you. It creates a level of immersion and emotional commitment not seen in any other medium when you're not just watching events happen to other people, they're happening directly to you.

Route structures vary, but typically a VN will open with a common route and then split into a series of routes dedicated to specific primary characters. These can be time-synchronous and follow on from on another, but more often occur simultaneously, following the standard multi-universe theory of decision splitting, where you can see the "what if" of your choices. The idea of focusing on characters allows for emotional investment in a specific person's backstory, personality, likes and dislikes, lifestyle, and most importantly, relationship with the MC. This will usually lead to a sexual romance and a level of personal connection built between you and the character featured.

Now Hanahira is reminiscent of a laid-back SoL anime, a series of events in the everyday life of some cute girls. There is no overarching plot, no on-going development of events and building up of ideas. In contrast, a standard VN will introduce the characters and the setting, have you meet them for the first time, build up interpersonal connections, and develop a overarching plot. This plot might be a serious threat to the future of the planet and the human race, or it might be the blossoming romance between two high schoolers, but in either case there is a clear series of ordered events here.

Now we divulge into genres. VNs are commonly divided into "moege", "nukige", "nakige" and "plotge", and while there is a strong level of overlap between them in many cases, let's discard that for now. Moege are a romance, a chance to fulfil the idyllic high school dream of meeting a cute girl, getting to know her, building a friendship, asking her out on a first date, seeing her smile and her frilly clothes, and then having sex and living happily ever after. Nukige are intended to be, for lack of a better word, fapbait, and focus primarily on serving as masturbation fuel for the reader. Nakige inspire the feeling of sadness, shock or depression in the reader, by growing attached to a loving character and then having her torn away from you. And plotge are more reminiscent of typical novels, a series of events and an overarching problem to be resolved, maybe a mystery, a war, an adventure, or a mission to save the world. Of course, each of these will often draw elements from the other formats, but the distinction is still helpful.

Hanahira does not come under any of these categories. Thus, despite using the medium and being told through a computer program with girls on the screen and text on the bottom, it is not what we would typically consider a normal VN.

The more modern a console uses, the more likely it is to supply games with a firmware function they otherwise would have implemented independently. For example, the PSP probably has text rendering functions in the BIOS, which could be hooked into to get texthooking.

I haven't read his other stuff so I dunno. A friend is reading his on-going series but he said it doesn't look like Akiyama is very motivated to actually continue writing it so yeah...
If you want LNs, my other big favorite series besides Iriya is 人類は衰退しました. By the same author you could try AURA first which is only a single volume and gives you a decent taste of him. Then there's 紫色のクオリア which is probably the best single volume LN out there, really tight story. For Non-LN books pretty much everything by 森見登美彦. 戯言シリーズ is incredibly fun and reads very, very fast. And then there's a whole bunch of VNs too... I could go on and on. Whatever you pick I look forward to your reactions, it's nice to see someone else actually read outside of the usual boring beginner recs.

Well, they're words, and they're used commonly. If you think you never need to see ライト again, feel free to delete it, it's one button press.

What you're asking for is braindead retarded.　皆 doesn't mean everyone, see 皆勤, it's closer in meaning to all. 殺 doesn't mean murder, or even kill, 殺ぐ is just a reduction. Kanji don't fit into nice single word definitions like you think, and if you broaden them out enough to do so, you'll find there are dozens of kanji with the same broad meaning.

I press good on new cards I don't know. That only applies to cards that are marked in the far left column. This is how anki is designed. If you were supposed to press "again" on new cards you don't know, it would not send them to 1 minute.

The "again" is only available on new cards because you can make deck formats where it makes sense. With recognition and recall cards, it definitely does not make sense.

When you answer a new card for the first time, it ceases being a new card and starts being a learning card.

Anki is designed to test retention. If you can retain a card for N minutes, then passing the N minute step means that you passed the N minute step. It doesn't care about anything else. If you can press good on new cards and then remember them 10 minutes later, then you are using anki correctly.

I know you're mad right now so reason might not work but 90% of my learning consists of consuming """"""otaku media"""""" and the other 10% is anki. Though I can somewhat understand, I'd be mad too if I was born too stupid to learn the language necessary to consume my favorite hobbies.

The /int/ thread is an unmoderated safespace for east asian nationalists. If I have an option, I'm not going to post there.
>no discussion like that going on
Did you miss the discussion that's going on?
/jp/ is not a fast board. If you start an argument in a thread that has already hit the bump limit, that argument is going to subsume the entire thread.
Yes, there is discussion about otaku media being used to learn japanese. Right here. In this very thread.
>it's just about anki cards
Anki is inescapable for self-learners in the early stages.
>asking about doubts on the language
Literally any language learning discussion will have questions about doubts without context.

Believe it or not, most people's Anki decks consist of words they came across while consuming otaku media. That aside, this thread has plenty of otaku media discussion, you're just ignoring it for the sake of your petty "argument". The /int/ thread has an entirely different purpose and mindset, they don't want us there and we don't want to associate with them either.

Maybe you keep getting shit on because you can't put two words together and have them make any sense. You're only proving my point. This place is all about backpats and actively works against betterment. You can't cry about safespaces when that's the definition of one. You CAN'T talk about improvement because that would expose the fact that some people learn faster than others, and that upsets the slow ones. (The ones who need the improvement talk the most!) The people matter more than the topic, so you HAVE to blog and post playlists and do everything else except talk about the topic. AKA a general.

You don't need a "buying things general" when there are plenty of specific threads or preexisting generals for you to ask about purchasing goods. All that does is bring in floods of mouthbreathers. There's nothing a "buying things general" can offer that can't be solved with a sticky of online shops, which no otaku would have any use for since they're into specific things from specific shops, makers, and other independents.

Should I keep just mining or should I get a jlpt 5 deck for refreshing? Or maybe skimming a list owuld be enough...

I'm just not sure how to go about making a mining deck. Right now I've just been reading manga with a very faint idea of how to actually create a mining deck. I have the Rikisama real-time import feature set up, but I'm not sure how to utilize it with manga. If anyone could point me to any guides detailing how to mine words in different types of Japanese media, that would be amazing.

Read manga, have jisho.org in a browser. See word you don't know, look it up in jisho.org and then add it to your deck. It's easy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16308270
Well manga is the sole exception because it has no text. You can just use the usual html firefox rikai set up. You see a word you don't know -> type it somewhere -> hover over it -> R -> done. Type the whole sentence and it gets imported as well. With novels or random stuff you see on the internet you don't need to type it yourself since it's already laid out.

You won't get pronounciation of the sentence, but you can add sound for the word, spoken by a native jap voice. I would definitely recommend adding sound, sometimes the pronounciation you imagine in your head doesn't quite match what people actually say in the real world.
Sound can also act as a last resort "hint"- if you are really struggling to recall a card you can close your eyes, press space and listen to the audio, and if you still can't remember what it means then you absolutely definitely need to relearn it. If hearing the word made everything come flooding back, then you might be able to get away with a cheeky "hard", so long as the interval is not too long.

If it's going to be that way at least make sure you have a sentence for each word. Even if it's from a manga and you have to type the whole bloody thing out, it's worth it. Remembering the situation where you read the word and the context that led to it will help comprehension and retention both at once.

Doesn't matter, they all support japanese, just install the free jaanese dictionary from your account after you've set up the device.
You should get one with a light though (Paperwhite, Voyage, Oasis) because it's really nice. Screen resolution is the same for all 3.

Just bought the first Neptunia game on steam. Not only can you set the text language to japanese, but ITHVNR just hooks the text without having to screw around with /h codes or anything.

Reposted from another thread

Thought this would be the most appropriate thread to ask

Why did nips from futaba move to this "librechan" and then later "endchan" (librejp is the board 's name). What are these librechan and endchan anyway, from its design it seems endchan is some kind of 8ch copy? Did some shitstorm happen over at cripplefuckchan?

Thinking about reading it in japanese, so how is it in terms of difficulty? I guess all these scientific terms going to be in katakana anyway, but what about grammar? Should I start as long as I finish Tae Kim, or it's not good enough?

Especially if your native language is english, because they use the original latin/greek (or german for some reason...WW2?) pronounciation a lot when katakana-izing science words

Hey guys. I have a christmas question.

Someone Japanese reviewed a bunch of headphones in one post and used "これはちょっと" for the cheap ones and "何となく良いのは" for the expensive ones and "残念" for the crap ones.

So I can tell that 何となく良いのは are good ones

But これはちょっと suggests they are not as good as the rest (like "these are just okay"), or that they are the cheap ones (as in "these aren't worth much"?

[Anonymous No.]

>これはちょっと
Literally means "This is a little..." it's supposed to be vague, which is a polite way of saying that you don't like it or it doesn't work for you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16312924
That's right.
kore ha chotto is literally "this is a little..." with the rest of the sentence implied -- and it's implying they're shit, too expensive, or something along those lines; you need to figure that out by context but it sounds like you got it.

Read whatever sounds interesting but just understand that you will miss things. Read something you will enjoy but don't value so much as to want to understand every single line perfectly. Don't read something that's "easy" that you aren't interested in.
