Does anyone have a grammar reference for "~ければ ~だけ", as in "優しければ優しだけ"? What does it mean? Is it just the same as 〜ければ〜ほど" ("to the extent that ~, ~")?
The sentence I originally encountered it in is the following:
>夫人は、相変らず房子に愛想がよかったし、嫉妬らしい素振りは第三者から見ると微塵もなかったのであるが、当人にとっては、夫人の態度がやさしければやさしいだけ、よけいと何かしら強烈な光線で射られているような気がするのである。
But here are some other example sentences I found trawling the net:
>優しければ、優しいだけ利用されるのがこの世の中。
>彼が優しければ優しいだけ、自分を苦しめることになるため、中には後悔に耐えられずカミングアウトしてしまう人もいるほどです。
>優しければ優しいだけ、何か企んでいるような気がしてしまう。
>優しければ優しいだけ気持ちいいです.

See definition 3-ア
>Is it just the same as 〜ければ〜ほど" ("to the extent that ~, ~")?
Definition 1 also says:
>…ほど。…くらい。…かぎり。
So yes.
Thanks bro

oh boy I suuure do love a world without kanji

Daily reminder that poles are subhumans.

why no blue kanji?
ボーナスナス
Not sure why. I set the max interval to 191 days. I did so in the kanji grid addon settings and in anki but it never displays any blue despite the first row being full of kanjis with 191 day intervals.
> 本屋
> 金色
> 今夜
Is there any way to type words like this without selecting each kanji separately?
Are there any good resources for learning Okinawan/沖縄語/ウチナーグチ?
おはよう
That's a lot of love
you need to press n twice
otherwise I don't know what your problem is
What fonts are you guys using for Anki ?
I'm trying to use Noto but using the .otf make anki's card display kinda laggy, takes around 1s to load. Is it because it's an .otf and not .ttf ? I've been trying to find/convert to .ttf with no luck.
Noto sans demi light
Have you managed to make it work without display lag ?
I don't notice any significant delay, do you have an SSD?
Yes, it's not really noticeable while reviewing on desktop but it take around a full second to load on ankidroid. Are you using the original .otf file ?
Yes, and I don't do any reviews on slow mobile devices. Best of luck
At first I thought .otf was not supported but this issue disappeared by itself for no reason
I told you. One month and it's already done, no need for 90+ days.

>less than one year of half-assed study
>can now translate small things for user in certain fandoms and get the gist of raw manga
Fuck yeah, this bullshit "studying" actually works! Raw eromanga here I come.
Once you get grammar down, it's mainly a game of vocabulary.
dekinai
>implying there are no homonyms in your own languages
That comic is surprisingly uplifting. Truly, we are only as dekinai as we believe ourselves to be.
>あたしの婚約指輪と見られるでしょう
WTF is this bitch saying? "[It] can probably be seen as my engagement ring"?
would this thread be interested in making a pseudo fansub group for translation purposes only
we could pick up a 5 minute show or something
Yes. How about some context?
「婚約指輪じゃないの?」と私は言った。
「そうじゃないの。母の形見なの。」
小粒のダイヤをいくつかならべた白金の指輪であった。
「あたしの婚約指輪と見られるでしょうけれど、それでもいいと思って、はめているんです。」と娘は言った。「いったんこうして指につけると、はずすのは、母と離れてしまうようでさびしいんです。」
私は娘の指から指輪を抜き取った。そして私の膝の上にある娘の腕を立てると、紅差し指にその指輪をはめながら、「この指でいいね?」
It might look like a wedding ring, but...
Some may assume it's a wedding ring, but...
Think generically.
>>implying there are no homonyms in your language
They're not homonyms though. Does no one know about the Japanese pitch accent?
No one here even knows about stroke order because of muh passive recognition/anki autism
There's only so many ways to say koukou, Mr. Smarty Pants.
>read entire 30-page-long chapter
>2 unknown words
>read 3-page-long 後書き panels
>15 new words
it’s a reddit meme
why not stay there?
>passive recognition/anki autism
So you don't use anki?
i know stroke order because i took two years of chinese and the rules on it are more or less consistent, does that count
>投函口からはみ出すほどに溜め込まれた捨てチラシの紙束の厚さが彼の目を引いた
what does 捨てチラシ mean here? is it just saying it's junk, trash?
In which case should I use 行う「おこなう」 instead of やる or する?
I knlw stroke order but that's thanks to my japanese classes, anki is no good. I do use an app called "Jsho" from time to time, it's offline and has all the stroke animations for all the kanjis
pretty often it's used for stuff like throwing a party or holding a meeting or giving a presentation, so stuff that follows some kind of procedure or performance (and often involves other people)
I want to learn japanese.
I have Genki books so I assume that would be enough for starters however I want to ask you if you think I should start to use anki from the very start too? Like 10 words in day.
What deck should I download?
I already know katakana and hiragana.
>Genki
Lmao
Get anki
read the guide before asking questions
>Download from the above link. Do not download the poorly formatted Core decks on AnkiWeb.
The link just redirects to guide's main page though?
I would consider it if I could actually speak Japanese
just a little heads up for somebody else who will face the same problem:
In order to download the deck you should click on the mega link that is only appear when you set the look of the Guide's site to original. Newer design doesn't show the proper link for downloading.
It gives you the mega url on the end of the site's homepage url. Just change itazuraneko.neocities to mega.nz.
>チラシ
Flyers, but "捨てチラシ" is a phrase hardly heard.
Maybe coined by the author, which would mean "scattered flyers".
I can't make kanji stick in my mind. I burn out on anki trying to associate symbols with words that don't have any real meaning to me because I can't speak the language. Would it be better to just stick with kana and furigana and just read to build up a vocabulary of known words and a basic understanding of the language?
Weakling
Give up.
We should do a "fansubbing" exchange with the japanese equivelant of DJT for english learners (so DET). That was they can laugh at our hilarous cringy japrish and we can laugh at their way too literal engrish. I'm so up for it, let's do it. Do discords for this sort of thing work?
No
I just want to be able to understand anime.
You can't learn japanese.
it's pretty much impossible to learn japanese without kanji, unless you were living in japan
Work harder.

最近どんなマンガ読んだ?
The usual you know; Yotsuba, Hidamari, Bonnouji, Aho girl, Chio-chan and Kakushigoto. I did want to pick up Asobi as well but the font used therein hurt my eyes.
Don't you sometimes pick ones other than girls doing girly things?
I'm too much of a newbie to start reading the raw /ak/ and seinen works I have my sights set on you see, so that really only leaves CGDCT manga for me to enjoy and practice with right now.
I see. Google only gave me 捨てアド which I suppose is completely unrelated.
Thank you.
What is the practical usage of hiragana? Is it just babyspeak you learn before katakana or is it actually used in Nipland?
What a stupid question. Have you never actually studied Japanese? Like, at all?
>seinen works
yeah in order to impress adult readers, they use so trick phrases and so on, even I myself don't know the meaning of "the raw /ak/" in English..
What a stupid question. Have you never actually studied Japanese? Like, at all?
Is this a new meme?
Oh, are you asking about the meaning of /ak/? If that's the case, then it's a merging of the two board initials /a/ and Jow Forums that's supposed to be an umbrella term for all manga involving cute girls doing cute war/gunnery things, ミリオタ things basically.
Anyone know how to change the Android system font to display the correct Japanese Kanji instead of Simplified Hanzi? I'm running 7.0

I got it thanks
