Man, the downside of learning just the kanas is that none of what you read besides onomatopoeia makes any goddamn sense.

That's not true. You can also read katakana engrish words. And that is very useful.

>> No.267281

>>267274
Except that most of the time said engrish is abbreviated. Or from french or german in the first place.

Are you completely retarded or did you seriously not realize that only learning the kana will do nothing to help you understand the language?

Duh, kana is really just a fancy way of writing English. If you translate them to Roman characters, they're just the same words and the same syntax!

>> No.267417

>>267282
I am in fact completely retarded, thanks for asking. I studied enough of the kanas to read slowly because I figured I had to start somewhere, but then ran out of patience going through guidetojapanese.org when I realized the actual grammar is zomg hueg.

So my knowledge of the language is kind of like... kara is a from-suffix, mono is the "-able" suffix (like as in 食べ物, 飲み物, お召し物) and so on. Absolute novice level.

>> No.267434

>>267417
Ach, disregard that, "-mono" is more like a "-stuff" suffix. Eatstuff, drinkstuff, wearstuff. Except when it's not due to homonyms. Exotic shit, this.

>> No.267459

>>267417
japanese grammar isn't as hard as it's made out to be. It's actually much simpler than grammar for other languages. Probably the hardest part is that it is just completely different.

I know. It's also not my first foreign language (that was english), but as I said, I ran out of patience. (I also realized that pretty girlan gaems aren't worth the effort to me.)

There are languages with 15 cases just for nouns, you know.

>> No.267517

>>267505
Someone else is taking German?

>> No.267523

>>267505
15 is not a whole lot. Nom, gen, dat, acc, x2 for plurals, x3 for masc, fem, neuter, and that's 24 for a base romance language. Add ablative case and you get 30.

I took two years of German in High School.

Die Klasse war schwer.

Did I eve get it right? Or did I just sound like a massive retard?

>> No.267528

>>267523
That's 15 before plurals and so forth.

Well, I'm halfway through my first year (underage lol), and it sounds right. I haven't really learned tenses yet.

>>267479
The only thing that makes Japanese grammar more difficult than any european language is the fact that it is structured completely differently. The grammar rules themselves are almost always simple and without exceptions.

>> No.267539

It's not the cases, it's what you do with them. Ablative of mood, anyone?

That's Hellenistic Greek for you. Here's your rules, they will be worthless so you might as well just use your lexicon all the goddamn time.

Fixed to exclude gerund. None of that in ancient Greek!
