DJT is a Japanese language 勉強スレ for 人々 interested in the language, anime, manga, visual novels, light novels and Japanese video games. Japanese speakers learning English are welcome, too.
I'm going to write my studying English note in yesterday. I watched a cartoon called Katie and Orbie witch made in Canada. A Canadian user recommended it for my learning English, thank you Canadian user. Witch mainly consist of narrate, man's voice speaks Katie's circumstances, and the animation is like slowly. Katie is a small girl, she is the eldest daughter in her family, probably. And Orbie is a strange creature that face seems to dick with testicle, it uncomfortable me when I saw his body. But I don't interest in this creature. Honestly, I'm bored it (sorry Canadian user), because this cartoon made for children, I could watch it as watching as Pornhub, Orbie imagined the dick for me, how this cartoon made for children? I didn't think so. By the way, I had a question when saw this cartoon. Katie is still small child, but she got sleep alone in a her bed. In Japan, small children are together their parents when they get sleep, that is in my knowledge of Japan. Is that common lifestyle or japan's one uncommon?, I feel Katie was lonely in her bed. I watched this cartoon thus, I just knew exist strange creature in the Canadian cartoon.
Are there any rules to it not mattering? Afaik the closer to the front of a sentence something is, the more emphasis is placed on it. Does this mean it would be grammatical to have an adverb at the end of the sentence / after the verb?

>the closer to the front of a sentence something is, the more emphasis is placed on it.
It tends to be the opposite. The closer to the beginning the more it feels like an extra comment. The closer to the verb it is placed the more emphasis it has.
Yes you can put an adverb after a complete sentence in speech. It sounds like a comment on the previous sentence that you forgot to add.
It's the same kind of thing as saying in English "She ran to school. Quickly. With toast in her mouth."

Bullshit, it takes years to learn only hiragana.

Does anyone know why some entries in yomichan have black and others white dots? Hover over these words to see what I mean. 察する 散髪
Noah Phillips
What's your point?
Kevin White
Screenshot it because I don't have anything wrong Don't use words that are 20 times less common
Tyler Hall
To indicate which kana hides behind the kanji
Caleb Cox
I wanted to use more or less the same vocabulary as him. And 散髪屋 is not wrong. Do a google search and you'll see lots of results.
If you want to point out a mistake I should of used たくさんの instead たくさん

Ok if that makes you feel good about yourself, go for it
I see thanks! >It tends to be the opposite. Whelps now I am thoroughly confused, imabi said the opposite. Guess I'll just learn eventually by reading. >reddit spacing ???

Jävla helvete du är så jävla retard HTML is black dot first, is white dot second to indicate subsections, it doesn't mean anything and you're also not using all the dictionaries you should be using jävla retard
I think I originally learned it from the book "Using Japanese: A Guide to Contemporary Usage." I don't know who imabi is but maybe he meant something different.
彼が彼女にプレセントをあげた Most unmarked.
彼がプレセントを彼女にあげた It was her that he gave it to
彼女にプレセントを彼があげた プレセントは彼があげた The first one sentence sounds unnatural, but the meaning is "he was the one who gave the present"

Turn on fucking everything you have in there

As long as I keep coming here I will be fine. It probably matters a bit more if the kind of speech its trying to emulate isnt supposed to be spoken dialogue. But just listen to the bullshit sentences people string together when actually talking.
I think tomorrow I'll read the japanese wikipedia article about the EU
that is all

>Orbie is a strange creature that face seems to dick with testicle, it uncomfortable me when I saw his body.
pfffhahhahaa. Actually when I would see the show on television as a kid I would also feel uneasy by Orbie. Maybe that was the reason why.
>Katie is still small child, but she got sleep alone in a her bed. In Japan, small children are together their parents when they get sleep, that is in my knowledge of Japan. Is that common lifestyle or japan's one uncommon?
It's definitely more common for western children to be sleeping on their own in their own beds from a relatively early age. Some kids DO sleep in their parents bed most nights but that is much more uncommon.
Earlier on when the kids are still young but sleeping on their own they will occasionally become scared or lonely and crawl into their parents bed in the middle of the night.
Props to him, but it sounds like he could've saved some time if he incorporated something like spaced repetition and mnemonics rather than just dumb writing the same thing over and over again. But what do I know
Daniel Ward
Hi anons! I'm new to learning japanese, so I've got a few questions: I already memorized hiragana/katakana, so they are off the chart, but what should I study next? Should I focus on grammar or should I start doing core 2k and focus on that? Also, are vocaloid/utaloid songs good to listen and learn pronunciation or should I listen only to human voice? If not, any recs?
One expression that gets (mis)used a fuckton in eroge/LNs.

>white text on black background
why do people put their eyes through this?
Mason Anderson
not all of us use TN panels with brightness and gamma on 100
Robert Sullivan
What else should I use, white with black text so I can have a spotlight in my room? Or just that I'm not using flux
