Japanese Discussion 日本語の討論会

[Tamago86]

would anybody like to practice their japanese by translating this for me?

my japanese friend didn't have enough confidence in his english when he was writing in my yearbook. haha.

少しの間でしたがとても楽しかったデス！良い夏休みをおすごし下さい

It was only for a little while but it was really fun. Have a good summer(says it both in Japanese & English)

Can someone translate "worth fighting for" & "Just believe" & "Stronger" to Japanese for me? Thank you. I want to get a tattoo on one of those phrases/words.

worth fighting for = 戦う価値がある (tatakau kachi ga aru)

just believe = 信じて (shinjite)

i don't think either would make good tattoos..people usually just get single or compound kanji tattoos not phrases, like 忠 (loyalty) or 愛 (love - slightly cliche) the more kanji you have the more chance you have of chinese people laughing at you because some have a different meaning, haha. Saw someone with the tattoo for 少女 (little girl) the other day..but also means virgin

Totally agree with the tatoo's, was going to say so earlier but forgot

For the first trans, 間 is あいだ, (and after reading the message, that's how I read it), but the kanji is different. Is that like...super short form of the kanji (like slang, not real) or something? or what? If you know, that is

Hello!

I was wondering if anybody could help me translate these:

For the most part I can read a little bit of it, since I'm JUST learning hiragana, but umm, I don't know what it means ^^;;;

My brother suddenly brought this home b/c his co-worker needs help translating it.

Hope someone can help. THANK VERY MUCH in advance ^_____________^

Ahh..it kind of looks like the simplified chinese way of writing it, 间 jian1 (時間ー＞ 时间) So maybe the person is Chinese or learned chinese first..or just has a peculiar way of writing it haha most likely..don't think I've seen it written that way before

[Guest orangecake]

そうだね。

写真で使われている「間」は、略字です。

門の上半分、２つの日を省略して、ヽで書いてある。

あまり使わない気もするけど・・・。

しっかし。

Tamagoってば、いったいいくつの言語を知ってるの？

すごいなあ・・・。

わたしは結局、ぼんじゅ～とめるしぼくぅ～を連発しただけで終わっちゃたよ。

でもって、いきなり昨日からだんけしぇ～んの練習を始めたんだ。

あと１ヶ月しかないのに、たいへ～～～～ん。

略字って、オリジナルと比べて、随分違うんだな。。。

ハハハ俺も同感。Tamagoの知識は何かスッゲーな!

それは、それは大変だね　－。－！

when saying hello to people

would u say konniciwa minna san ! or konnichiwa minna

sans just proper yes

[Guest jaeka]

love.life - depends on how well you know 'everybody'

if you know them all well i guess you could just say 'konnichiwa minna'

but if you don't i think

'konnichiwa minna san' would be more appropiate.

I say read about the Japanese Particles from useful websites.

I would've searched for you but the speed is so low in my laptop

thank you i thought so

My Japanese isn't that good and I'm still studying by myself.

If you want, I can help you with what I can

[Guest jaeka]

HERE has a lot of particles listed!

if you wish to find more about the particles "wa" and "ga", it's best to just type it in google. (:

i'll have to wait until i'm on my computer and am able to write in japanese, i could give a quick run through of japanese's major particles.

I see. thanks for the suggestion! I probably won't get it then....

[Guest heartkiller]

angel ill take all the help i can

[Guest nuwera]

love.life: Do you need help with something specific?

Particles Websites:

http://www.timwerx.net/language/particles.htm

http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesArt...se.id-1428.html

The more your read about the particles and the more you practice, the better you'll understand them

It may be confusing at the beginning but if you grasped the meaning it will be easy.

[Guest heartkiller]

no not really i need to work on everything to be honest with you
