Thanks for the hard work of the NEWS concert tour. "お疲れさまでした" is what the Japanese say after/end of the work it's like "good job, good work, it was tiring, thanks for the hard work" along those kinda meanings? please correct me if im wrong >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamago86 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 The hanjas for the three characters are 金敏顁 Ahaha well..if you really wanted to do it that way in Japanese, then your name would be kin bin ? 金(kin) and 敏(bin) are fairly common characters, I've never seen 顁 before though, I doubt it exists in Japanese..but 定 is read ding4 in chinese and tei in japanese so maybe kin bin tei? More likely though, they would just call you キム・ミン・チョン Kimu Min Chon If you really want to find out though, you need to find a well known Korean that also uses 顁 as his family name, because I think most use 鄭, and then you need to look him up on Japanese wikipedia or something and they should have it listed. By the way 金 in mandarin is jin1, so 金敏顁 in chinese would be jin1 min3 ding4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meezu Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I am trying to learn Japanese. I have some questions: Is "ae" pronounced as "eye" ? Are the e's pronounced as "ee" or "aye" Are the j's pronounced as "jay" or "hey" How do you pronounce the r's? Is "ui" pronounced as "we" or "oo-ee"? Is "ai" pronounced as "eye" or "aye" or "a-ee"? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. well just keep in mind that Japanese vowels in particular don't sound exactly like English or have 100% direct equivalents even if you use English words that resemble it, so everything is just an approximation, but.. ae is kind of like eye (unless you are pronouncing it slowly) but it has more of a eh at the end (not the canadian eh)..for example mai and mae are pronounced differently, and words like shiharai and shiharae have hugely different meanings just on that one vowel e's are pronounced like the e in outlet..like eh j's are pronounced like juh, neither jay nor hey is close, those are diphthongs (most english vowels are actually diphthongs too or a combination of multiple sounds, whereas vowels in european languages like german are usually pure) j is a consonant..so it'd be kind of like the j in jump the r's are kind of inbetween an L and a D sound, they're basically a tap/flap of the tongue on the roof of your mouth, somewhat like spanish ui can honestly be pronounced either depending how fast you are speaking, if you are speaking slower you sound out each vowel, if not it sounds more like we same with ai, but more commonly like eye.. try to find a website with some sound files to help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meezu Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 After the Hiragana characters are mastered written, spoken, and reading wise, would I then move onto Katakana, and then Kanji? Or is there more I have to learn from Hiragana before I proceed? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaeka Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'd learn katakana to the same standard as hiragana, "mastered written, spoken and reading wise.." then move onto kanji. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1TYMRMYVZT Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I already asked in the Korean thread, but I'd like to know in Japanese too. How would I say "I wish I was as invisible as you make me feel"? In Japanese characters and romaji too, please. Also, can anyone tell me a good site to learn kanji? (Sorry if it's been asked before or something.) Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
