Speaking of VNs, what are good old VNs that would run smoothly on an old computer and that I could still hook using ITHVNR?

Newer VNs tend to make my computer heat up pretty badly, especially with ITHVNR and Firefox open to mine directly off it. はなひらっ as an example straight up heats up my computer to 85°c for some reason. Might be because it'd poorly made though, I don't know.

>>16357377
Not even being able to run Hanahira is way worse than "old computer". Maybe Liarsoft games, they have poverty engines. Forest/Inganock/SonaNyl are good.

>>16357383
I can run it, I even finished it, I'm just saying it heats up my computer badly, which freaks me out a bit.

I'm thinking of getting some kind of e-reader for Japanese practice but I know nothing about them. I was inspired after seeing my friend's kindle which had a great dictionary feature that let you instantly look up the any characters that you don't know but on the other hand, the DRM would be a bit of a bitch.

Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for e-readers?

Is there a reason why you recommend /int/'s 日本語スレッド and not /int/'s DJT?

I disregarded you people being in need of a safe space and creating a second DJT, hell I browse both of them. However after seeing this OP, I see that you really are the autistic hostile cunts everyone made you out to be. Why not recommend the thread that has half of your community from back when this was on /a/ instead of a /int/ native thread?

>>16358048
Those people aren't /a/. No one except crossboarders would post on a bad board like /int/ with flags. And seemingly you belong there too so just leave if you don't like it.

>>16358069
>No true scotsman fallacy

You're pretty stupid aren't you?

>I disregarded you people being in need of a safe space
Sounds really objective! Starting out strong I see? Spoken like a true /int/ poster.
>>16358088
Who are you quoting?
To be fair anon >>16358069 nailed it.

Those people didn't belong on /a/ and even claimed it themselves multiple times. This is the biggest reason why DJT was kicked out. So if you're just here to insult us and bring unneeded drama you're free to go back where you belong, which is /int/.

Why do translators disregard double vowels when romanizing japanese names? I see it everytime if it's an official translation. If not, then they put an "h" after the vowel instead.

>>16358311
Because they're translating for normalfags, not people that know you're not supposed to pronounce "oo" like as in "shoot".

>>16358048
日本語スレッド and /int/'s DJT are going to become one within a few months.

By linking to the 日本語スレッド it avoids having to change the OP later down the track.

What do you all do to remember kanji exactly? I'm just using the core2k deck, but looking at the kanji and its meaning and clicking on to the next flashcard just isn't working. I'm really struggling to retain information, and I feel like I'm ending each day remembering maybe one or two of the 20 kanji I was supposed to remember, and not doing particularly well on the reviews either. Could use some tips.

>>16358311
Because they don't care about anything but themselves. This kind of person is the lowest, they create irregularities to avoid tackling a simple issue and it snowballs into branches and corruptions and overlapping information.

That's why we have so many video and encode types, aspect ratios, even pixel formats. That's why we can't agree on audio formats, colorspaces, character encoding. That's why the US still uses the Imperial System and calendars are gregorian instead of decimal.

It's not like nips themselves are immune to critique, since their writing system is a mess of its own and they do a shit job at katakanaing loanwords.

>>16358346
>Because romanisation isn't standardised?
Not an actual question.

>Tfw I can somehow differentiate between 鞘, 鞭 and 鞍 perfectly every time I see them despite never coming up with mnemonics for them or spending any time on them

Truly an Anki success story

>>16358514
First off, core2k isn't a kanji deck. And secondly, how long have you been doing it? You probably suffer from the "I'm into it less than a month and see no immediate effects so it's impossible" phase. Limit to 20 new cards a day, remove limit from reviews and just keep going. Make mnemonics for the particularly hard cards if you want. If you're above 70% at least you're fine.

>>16358514
If you're having trouble remembering kanji from vocab, consider individual kanji study.

>>16358535
Or no study at all
Currently living the no anki all reading dream

>>16358552
More like currently dying.

WHEN DO WORDS START AND STOP?

HOLY SHIT HOW DO THE JAPANESE DO THIS?

>>16358531
I think you';re right, I just need to stick at it longer. It's more frustrating then I expected however, especially considering I often can't think of a mnemonic device for many of the Kanji. When I see the difference between, say, the number 8, and eight days in a month, and then 8 items, there seems to be no real rhyme or reason, no simple structure for converting the number into the number of days in a month, while one number has one suffix added, another number changes entirely. Just have to grind it out, I suppose. If a month passes and I'm still not retaining properly I will switch to individual study.

>>16358599
Numbers and dates don't count. Everyone struggles with those at first. It's more about understanding when each one is used instead guessing the right one in Anki. You just naturally get used to them with exposure.

>Because you're the thread that's rejected by the board users (as in you're the crossboarders)

Too bad that I'm browsing /jp/ for years now and I'm totally fine with DJT on /jp/.
In fact there have been many threads regarding learning Japanese and even about anki in the past.

DJT on /jp/ stays rather isolated and doesn't shit up the board any more than crossboarders did over the last couple of years anyway.

Now the DJT on /int/ on the other hand is the most cancerous general I've seen in a while, people blogpost, use discord, are fucking newfags and one of them seriously posted his nip learning blog in the last thread.

Any Kindle works I think, but maybe not the older ones. For reading German I had to buy a German-English dictionary, but I think there was a free Japanese-English one. The dictionary is not as good as Rikaisama. It is missing words and sometimes it parses things wrong and I actually can't look up the word that I want to. You also have the option to use Bing Translate, which works well for German but is shit for Japanese.

It works really well sometimes, but other times the Kindle feels really slow and takes forever to bring up definitions or change the selected text. Restarting it usually fixes the problem, but I don't think I should have to do that. Overall, it is pretty nice.

>>16359334
>German-English dictionary
Don't do this. Use English-English, which should be no problem for you if you can make posts on and navigate 4chan.

>>16359378
My dad wanted to learn it, so I told him I would learn it with him. I made it further, but we've both basically stalled. Failing to learn 2 languages is hard, so I'm going to go back to just failing at Japanese.

おにいちゃん七草がゆつくってー

おなかすいた

>>16359418
I'm going to project a bit here but I would say learning a language without really having a motive to learn it aside from "I want to learn it" does that.

For Japanese it's easy given you're an otaku, you have unlimited materials to consume, so even if you're slow or don't do much every day, you'll ultimately become fluent to some extent. What is there that's made in Germany that appeals to you and your dad? If there's nothing to consume learning the language only through textbook-like resources will be tough more than anything boring in the long run I assume.

What does your dad think of Japanese?

>>16359418
Also secondly if your dad wishes to continue learning German and improve, how about introducing him to lang8? He could make German internet friends and improve his skills that way. Writing blog posts in German will also help improve.

起きる means Get up
起きる also means Occur

What the fuck, why is this language so shit?

>>16359464
Why are you so shit?

>>16359464
The same way raise can be used for people or inanimate objects such as the sun. In French se lever is also used for different situations like this.

I don't see anything shocking in the way 起きる is used, it's perfectly logical.

>>16359443
He wanted to learn German because our family has German roots, I think. And he likes to listen to a German singer, but I can't remember her name. He would never learn Japanese.

Trying to learn German is shit because they are so anti-piracy. Can't find any German anime torrents. Can't find any German Disney torrents. It is horrible.

But, this is /jp/, so let's stop talking about German. I only mentioned it because Kindle works for learning most languages as long as you can find a dictionary for them.

I need to read more can anyone help to find something suitable?

I started reading with yotsubato and it was very easy if not too easy, after that I read NHK easy news for a while which is rather easy as well now.

Downloaded VNs that I wanted to read but they didn't work with ITHVNR nor Hook Any Text.
Tried Hanahira but feel like that's not the first thing one should read as beginner or does it get better later on?
I mean it seems to have weird grammar or slang not sure what it is, but it's completely different from news articles.


>>16357348
Some of these VNs seem not ideal for a beginner imo, also are all of these compatible with ITHVNR?


I really want to find something to read as it made me improve a lot already (even though I barely read anything)

What did you read DJT?

>>16359519
Nothing better than seeing faggots like yourself fold your argument immediately after getting absolutely ruined.

>>16359518
I do know about that though. There's also 円 and a few other examples that I can't think of off the top of my head now. I brought up 起きる because that's the latest one I've found that pulls this dumb shit.

>>16359522

>>16359553
Stop being hostile to japanese language related posts in a japanese learning thread. Are you lost or something?

>>16359570
This is pretty solid advice.

>>16359613
Exactly.

>>16359598
When you're posting in English, complaining about "dumb shit" in a language is pretty stupid.

All languages have differences. How is using the same term for "wake up" and "occur" any worse than any of the thousands of English words which have 2 distinct meanings?

>>16359482
>Can't find any German anime torrents.
You should be glad. Our dubs are horrible

>>16359608
Bringing up one example of pure shit in a language is not the same as being negative towards learning. If that were the case, then I wouldn't be learning at all.

>>16359624
The majority of the thread is in English, what does that have to do with anything? It's a Jap learning thread, not a Jap exclusive thread.

>How is using the same term for "wake up" and "occur" any worse than any of the thousands of English words which have 2 distinct meanings?

Factually untrue. English words that have two meanings have two different spellings to differentiate the two.
The Japanese example I gave has no such thing. Its spelled and spoken in the exact same way, while having two completely different meanings.

Here's a few. Nails, pool, draft, squash, racket, and these are all just nouns with multiple meanings.

Language is fucking terrible, if something is ambiguous then the language must be a failure.

>>16359762
Context does not save it from being retarded. Any word ever works with "context".
You can put where, wear and were next to each other an immediately tell what they mean.

If 起きる is next to 起きる, you can't tell if it means occur or wake up without any context. Therefore, it's fucking retarded.

>>16359771
If you said either of those, then your English would be wrong, and I'd correct you on that as I have done for everything else in this thread.
The correct thing to say would be "hand me that bag of finger nails" if the two items existed in the room.

Had you been more grown up and less child-like, you would have accepted that the Jap language is filled with holes and is archiac and flawed as fuck in comparison to English, which is refined and has no such issues. In English, when we want to differentiate words, they'll either be spoken differently or have a different spelling. Jap does not have this, therefore it's flawed as fuck.

Why don't you copy your friend here >>16359859 and be quiet. Clearly you can't argue with me since you're so bias towards Japanese that you can't even see the writing on the wall.

Neither the 日本語スレ or the /int/ DJT look kindly upon demands for translation. In fact, this DJT was the one who claimed they were happy doing translation work for /a/ and cited it as a reason for staying there or for occupying /jp/.

No, that was a hue. I don't see any Brazilian flags here.

>>16359936
Please refrain from flagposting on /jp/.

In any event, the point of my post was to not misrepresent what both japanese threads on /int/ are, as they do not wish to invite translation queries. I ask that you remove or reformulate said statement from the OP in your next thread. Thank you.

>>16359913
People who aren't here to learn japanese only shit up the thread. I've seen it over and over again. Translation requests aren't welcome.

>>16359910
So I say something that is wrong with the intent to deceive on the bed?

>>16359948
Your request has been denied.

>>16359949
My point is that you stop redirecting them where they're also unwanted. Feel free to reject translation requests all you want.

>>16359902
Ah nice

>>16359955
Get me a written statement from the leader of the Japanese thread on /int/ first, I don't believe you. I talked to him earlier and he was cool with it, they're always happy to have new posters.

>>16359954
You can be an autistic hostile fuck and we can take this all the way to /qa/, possibly jeopardizing your stay on /jp/, or you can try being cooperative with the japanese threads on /int/. Your call.

Redirecting unwanted posts to a place where they're also unwanted is counter productive for the whole site.

>>16359986
Actually I was quite courteous in my demand, whereas you've been replying in a childish manner. All you have to do is delete one sentence from the OP in your next thread. Hell you could even simply state that you do not wish to have translation demands.

Instead, you wish to be hostile towards another section of this website and attempt to send them undesirables, which doesn't even differ from the outcome you would get from simply saying that you refuse translation demands. This shows that your wish is to be disruptive, and certainly explains all the people complaining and rejecting DJT as a thread in so many places on this website.

>>16360034
If you believe i'm "assblasted" for nothing, then you'll be happy if the /int/ DJT starts redirecting translation requests to the /jp/ DJT, right?

If it's not removed in your next OP, that is certainly what will happen, and you can have fun with that sort of traffic instead of us.

>>16360025
You sometimes lie down on your bed with your eyes closed for long periods of time? Woah, what a unique trait.
Some may even call that sleeping.

>>16360054

>>16360054
Genius, that way we'll trap them in an endless loop of looking for the right thread until they starve

>>16360054
But then you'll just be indirectly directing all your translations to the Japanese thread on /int/.

Something tells me you haven't really thought out this fantastic plan of yours.

>>16360052

>>16360072

You're welcome, in return heed my own demand and stop linking to /jp/ in your OP.

How about you just stop making threads on /jp/ entirely, could you faggots do that?

>>16360054
>the /int/ DJT
The /int/'s DJT isn't mention in the OP, so I'm not sure why you're bringing them up.

/int/'s 日本語スレッド was recommended for translation requests and they promptly gave a translation when Re;Zero guy posted over there.

So all seems well?

>>16360108
No

>>16360108
And that would solve the problem of....what exactly?

>>16360113
Well he's the same autist that wants to force us to include the /int/ shitpost thread in our OP. Of course we won't because sending anyone there would be an act of the devil.

>>16360967
Well obviously you should be reading if you want to learn Japanese, that goes without saying.
As for why VNs are best, they're clearly the superior medium. They have text like manga and novels, but they also have voice acting, superior art and music. Compared to anime, they have readable text rather than pure listening and controllable pacing. Plus, you have the convenience of texthooking and the general superior quality of VN writing. They're basically strictly better than other mediums.

Hanahira is the easiest VN there is. Slang is just something you have to get used to and it is a lot easier to figure out when every line is voiced.

I don't understand this chart.

As a beginner (know ~400 kanji, finished beginning-level textbook, n4-ish), I'm about to start reading a VN as anons suggested. From reading the guide, it seems like the recommended way is to use a text hooker with VN, or reading a LN (html) with rikai. Alternatively, I am thinking of reading a raw LN side by side with english-translated LN. Does anon think this would work, or should I stick with VN + rikai/ITHVNR/text-hooker?

>>16361530
The full bar is the total time to read it and the labels mark where the choice are. So the first choice is about 10% in.

>>16361552
[edit]
the reason I'm suggesting the alternative (LN), although it looks harder to read, I can at least compare it with pro-translated VN, like monogatari series, SAO, yahari, no game no life, re:zero, etc that are published as paper copies (is the translation also that bad? I heard a lot of bad stuff about fans translated ones, not sure about this one)

Be honest with me, Flyable Heart and Hanahira are actually meme recommendations am I right?

I'm going to try both and report back.

I read both, Flyable Heart is actually really good. Hanahira, well, it's short and fun if you like cute girls doing cute things, obviously a lot of people won't enjoy it much but its main advantage is using such easy language and being short.

So, where are /a/ denizens posting in the DJT now? I just came from /int/, where I assumed DJT had moved to because someone on /a/ mentioned it, but the /int/ DJT seems kinda dead. I was invited over to the /int/ JT thread, which seems busier it is more concerned with Japan in general than the Japanese language itself. Then some other anon mentioned the /jp/ DJT thread splitting the community apart...

What is going on? Where are we supposed to be, those that used to post on /a/?

>>16362075
/jp/ if you're a good poster and /int/ if you're a retard

spoilers: most of the people here belong in /int/

>>16362063
Doesn't sound bad.

I'm thinking of taking a Japanese course that starts soon, does anyone here have general study advice? I never studied in high school and I graduated high school 4 years ago. I want to do this, however I honestly feel like I'll be in trouble because I haven't really studied before.

>>16362075
Assuming this is a genuine question and not metapost bait (it has been over a month, after all): lurk both threads for a couple of days and decide for yourself.

>>16362089
My general study advice is read the fucking guide before asking dumb questions faggot.

>>16362022
Are you sure? The further optimized pack is double the size of the optimized one,

>>16362102

>Translator

Depends. Working as a translator for someone, hardly anything. Starting your own company, maybe something.

>Scanlator

30k a month on patreon. That was a joke. Nothing.

>Interpreter

Depends. Are you working for the UN or in an Embassy? Then maybe a decent wage.

>Japanese teacher to English speakers

This can be profitable in the US, AU or UK.

>English teacher to Japanese speakers

Less than 20k USD a year. It's not a lot to live on, but that is the price of living the dream.

>Writer

Varies wildly.

>Academic in Japanese studies

Probably the most profitable of any of these positions listed. It will take a little bit of luck and perseverance however.

>>16362117
So 2k/6k are 6000 words and 10k are 10.000 words? I see, there is a sub deck in the deck included which is 6k-10k which means if I have further interest after the basic deck I can do this additional one for another 4k words.

>>16362131
Yeah there's a way to do that, but you're much better off just mining.

>>16362100
No, I meant in general. Not to do with the guide.

ホビードローンとは一線を画す不気味な飛行に、一同うっとり。

I checked google and 一線を画す means to clearly divide or to set a boundary, 不気味な飛行 means a "unnatural airplane"

一同うっとり I can only guess means to "put in a same category" or something.

Is it saying its making drones into boundary defining strange airplanes?

>>16362131
As >>16362136 said, you are better off mining. I stopped Core once I hit 2k and went straight to mining. Mining decks are far more fun than Core.

痘痕も靨

>>16362138
There are two basic ways to learn the language.

The boring, fastest and most effecient way.
Learning Kana > learning writing of kanji > learning vocabulary(anki) and grammar > reading and mining

Or you do it the more fun way and learn only the absolute basics you need for starting to read beginner stuff and slowly build up from there. It takes longer that way but like I said it's more fun.

In any case learn some mnemonic techniques to make grinding quicker and more enjoyable.

>>16362139
Any particular reason you choose to read boring news articles instead of VNs?
Anyway your interpretation is completely wrong and makes absolutely no sense anyway. Read easier stuff and work your way up.

General study advice:
>I want to do this, however I honestly feel like I'll be in trouble because
Don't make excuses. If you want to learn Japanese, you can and will do it. Besides the resources listed in the guide, all you need is patience and discipline.

How do I go into learning to come up with sentences on my own? How do I learn to write?
I've been studying for more than a year now, I can read VNs and manga good enough, but when I try to think in japanese or write it I come up empty.

Do the nips really read on the same font size as we do with our letters? Shit is so fucking small, I always need to zoom in to distinguish the characters.

>>16362202
If you can read, you should be able to write to a basic degree. Just reproduce things you read.
Like for instance, can you hold a basic こんにちは、元気ですか？ conversation? Can you think phrases you often read like まぁ、仕方ない? Producing is just an advanced form of this.

>>16362215
Remember when you were a little kid and you read picture books with giant English font? You are that kid again with Japanese.

Does anyone else sometimes mine words from songs? I understand that they can have weird grammar and archaic language, but the way they stick in your head makes for a powerful mnemonic technique.

I do, 1 song a day at best, although I often forget to do it. I basically pick a song I like or have been listening to recently and listen as I read the lyrics, and mine anything I need from it. Usually doesn't take more than 10min to do so and it's pretty fun, especially since music was originally was one of my main motivations in learning the language, and as it often makes you see songs from a slightly different perspectives in case you didn't fully get all the words too.

Adjectival Nouns #4

Previous lesson review:

綺麗な庭　きれいなにわ　a beautiful garden
健康な子ども　けんこうなこども a healthy child
無茶な話し　むちゃなはなし an unreasonable story
本当の話し　ほんとうのはなし a true story
公の事実　おおやけのじじつ a public fact
ピカピカの靴　ピカピカのくつ shiny shoes
平等な立場　びょうどうなたちば equal footing
平等の権利　びょうどうのけんり equal rights

Today's lesson

Adjectival nouns used as noun modifiers

無駄な出費　むだなしゅっぴ　wasteful expenses
デリケートな肌　デリケートなはだ　delicate skin
パサパサの髪　パサパサのかみ dry hair

無駄・ムダ means useless, pointless, futile. We covered 無・ム in the last lesson. 駄・だ pack horse is comprised of 馬・バ horse and 太・タイ fat, plump, thick. 馬 うま is a pictograph of a horse. You got the little legs at the bottom and the lines across the top represent ribs (which you often see on horses). 太・タイ uses the phonetic of 大・ダイ with the ヽ suggesting thickness. We learned last lesson that 無 means nothing, this kanji 無駄 shows that the 駄 pack horses are laden with 無 nothing, which is 無駄 pointless.

Before I move on, I should mention the different types of kanji. This is important for understanding kanji etymology.

Shoukei characters are pictographic images of an object they represent, for example 木 キ looks like a tree.
Shiji characters are ideographic images, they graphically represent an abstract concept, for example 上 ショウ is up.
Kaii characters are compound ideographic images, they are a combination of pictographs that combine to create meaning, for example 休 キョウ is a person resting underneath a tree and means rest or respite.
Keisei characters are radical-phonetic compounds and are the largest category. You know how we were talking about figuring out pronunciation from the radicals, these kanji will use a radical at the top or left of the kanji to describe the general category of its meaning the other radical at the right or bottom approximates the pronunciation. The issue with these is that the pronunciation is vaguely similar to Chinese and the kun'yomi is often completely unrelated. This is why I advocate learning on'yomi, or Chinese readings first, because the majority of kanji you will encounter will be compounds. Kun'yomi or Japanese words need to be learned by rote, one way or another, but can be picked up as you learn.

There are two other types of Kanji, Tenchuu and Kasha characters, but they are more complex and outside the scope of the current lessons. Needless to say, the majority of kanji will fall under one of the four groups previously listed. The reason this is important is because when you are trying to figure out new kanji you need to place them in one of the groups. In general you won't be able to figure out readings of Shoukei and Shiji characters, but having a core foundation of kanji on'yomi readings will allow you to read almost 90% of Kaii and Keisei characters (or approximate the sounds).

Cont'd.

>>16362164
Some people want to read about things that happen in the real world every once in a while

おしゃべりしようよ

にほんごで

出費 シュッピ expenses is comprised of 出 シュツ exit and 費 ヒ expense. 出 シュツ is a pictogram of a 艸 plant sprouting out of the 土 earth, and is used to describe something coming out or leaving. Can also refer to protruding or putting out. 費 ヒ is comprised of 弗 フシ dollar/flourine and 貝 バイ shell. The etymology of 弗 is obscure, it is made up of 弓 キュウ and two lines to depict stringing a bow, as opposed to 引 ヒク which is pulling a bow. The dollar connotation is archaic, but useful in this sense. As explained before 貝 refers to shells, which were once used as currency. For this kanji you can thick of 弗 dollars and 貝 shells (as opposed to cents) can be 費 spent or expended. A good way to think of 出費 is outgoing expenses.

無駄な出費 wasteful/pointless (outgoing) expenses

デリケート is from the English, delicate and is used in the same sense. You will often hear デリケートな子ども, referring to a fragile child. 肌 ハダ is an interesting one. Although 月・ツキ refers to the moon and is used as such as a radical, the kanji for 肉・ニク is has the identical radical. This 几・キ radical means table, but can also mean enclosure or surrounding. From these radicals we get the 肉 flesh that 几 surrounds, or in other words the 肌 skin.

デリケートな肌 delicate skin

パサパサ is an onomatopoeia. I like to think of patting down my hair with a towel and hearing the gentle patt patt sound, which in Japanese sounds more like pasa pasa. 髪・カミ means hair and is made up of 髟・ヒュウ mane, long hair and 夂・チ winter radical, separated by 一. In the 夂 winter, some animals grow 長 long 彡fur, which looks like 髪 hair.

パサパサの髪 dry hair

有る or 在る with the まい auxiliary verb at the end. The まい can be used to make a negated guess. It adds something like a "guess not" or "expect not" meaning to the verb. If you're familiar with ないだろう or なかろう then that's the same. However, note that the text you quoted only tells one of the meanings. It's also used for conjugating verbs into the negative volitional form. Tae Kim covers that, so you can read up on that there.

ESL here. How do I improve my English? I want to be good enough to write a book. I'm currently planning in reviewing all the grammar rules and stuff and then I don't know what to do next. Is there a community somewhere for improving English like DJT?

>>16363146
no fuck off

>>16363146
Read good and bad english writing. (Unless you read the bad stuff, you will never notice rules or words that you acquired incorrectly, so you will be bad at editing your own writing)

Are J-Dramas otaku media?

>>16363185
Of course. We had jdorama threads in the past.

I've been neglecting Anki for years and now I want to fix that.
What type of cards should I make? Production (cloze deletion)? Recognition? Both?
Should I use the original sentence in which I found the word or a dictionary sentence?
I'm really lost here.

>>16363185
No.

>>16363187
otaku =/= weeaboo
j-dramas are a weeaboo thing but not an otaku thing

>>16363185
No. Even though they gave us Horikita Maki, doramas should stay in Korea where they belong.

>>16363193
You're retarded.

>>16363197
no, anon, you're the one that's retarded

>>16363193
>>16363198
Otaku just means someone engrossed in something actually, it's just the West who's misused it to target people who like anime, etc. There are all sorts of otaku out there.

Google is one click away.

>>16363193
Now this is probably the dumbest post in the thread.

>>16363204
Why are you responding to the same post twice?

>>16363202
>it's just the West who's misused it to target people who like anime, etc
The word for that is "weeaboo", which supplanted "japanophile". "Otaku" has never had that definition. Otaku is a niche thing.

>>16363205

lol what a retard

>>16363185
I recommend Legal High. It's fun

>>16363207
>"Otaku" has never had that definition.
According to a lot of people out there it does.

>>16363217
No, the fact that you can write something like "all sorts of otaku" shows that you don't know how the word works at all.

>>16363187
Anon, you realize that dramas are literally mainstream entertainment, right?

>>16363219
>No
I'm telling you normalshits out there use otaku in that sense, this is a fact, I don't give a shit if you haven't gotten out of your room and 4chan in a decade, that's how it is.

And are you fucking retarded, or that mentally ill? Fuck work on your reading comprehension.

>Otaku just means someone engrossed in something actually
Go on and explain to everyone how otaku has a different meaning than this.

>>16363224
Isn't anime also mainstream?

>>16363226
>I'm telling you normalshits out there use otaku in that sense, this is a fact
Normalshits also think "repulsive" means "revulsive".

>I don't give a shit if you haven't gotten out of your room and 4chan in a decade, that's how it is.
>And are you fucking retarded, or that mentally ill? Fuck work on your reading comprehension.
>>>/int/
Get out of /jp/.

>>Otaku just means someone engrossed in something actually
>Go on and explain to everyone how otaku has a different meaning than this.
Because it doesn't "just" mean that. It doesn't "just" mean engrossed. There is no way you can construe the way it's used to mean that.

>>16363227
Note that anime isn't generally speaking allowed on /jp/.

>>16363224
Do you realize you are using words you have no idea of what they mean? You can be an otaku of movies, games and even fucking trains.

オタク（おたく）とは、自分の好きな事柄や興味のある分野に、極端に傾倒する人を指す呼称。 アニメ、漫画、玩具、映画、コスプレ、ゲーム、アイドル……。 さまざまな大衆文化があるが、そのような特定の趣味の対象および分野の愛好者、ファンを指す語として使われる。

>>16363219
>No, the fact that you can write something like "all sorts of otaku" shows that you don't know how the word works at all.

Otaku is someone who is overly knowledgeable/addicted on a certain thing. It is not something that is exclusive to anime.

You can be:
Manga otaku
Anime otaku
VN otaku
Jdrama otaku
History otaku
Suiri otaku

etc.

>>16363230
Yes, you can. Now compare otakus to their "otaku media".

It's very obvious that when speaking about otakus as a generalized group you trim the fat so that you don't catch literally everyone that can be considered geeky in some way (i.e. almost everyone, including most normalfags).

>>16363228
>Normalshits also think "repulsive" means "revulsive".
And? All I was saying is that they do in fact misuse the word "otaku" and you went on telling me they don't to now indirectly admitting it? I'll repeat myself, you are dangerously ill.

>"just"
Holy fuck, so because I didn't write a 3 lines paragraph on explaining what otaku means and dared putting a "just" there (especially after telling anon to go and make his own researches) you went all triggered on me? I consider myself to be quite the recluse but you take the cake for the worst autist in this thread.

Don't forget to reply to me get the last word by the way! Who knows, you might not end up sleeping tonight because of too high anxiety level!

>>16363234
What is your obsession with anime? Did you fall out of /a/?

This is /jp/, not /a/. Anime is not qualified as otaku media here.

>>16363238
>All I was saying is that they do in fact misuse the word "otaku"
No, you were saying it means something it doesn't.

>and you went on telling me they don't to now indirectly admitting it?
I never said they don't, anon.

>Holy fuck
Yes, anon. When you add those funny "flavor" words, it actually dramatically changes the meaning of what you write. Not just in terms of tone, but also where you're coming from and what the text literally means. When something "just" means something, that's that. But you can't say something "just" means something that it doesn't actually mean.

>you went all triggered on me?
Get out of /jp/.

>Who knows, you might not end up sleeping tonight because of too high anxiety level!
I smell projection.

>>16363239
We are talking about the definition of otaku, anon. Nice try deflecting how retarded you are.

>>16363234
>Jdrama otaku
Did you mean: "drama geek".

There's nothing special or japanese about what you just wrote.

>>16363243
I'm sorry, did someone offend you? All I did was respond to your post.

>>16363242
Nothing to project, your typing style shows all of your colors already. Inferiority complex coupled with damaged ego and severe case of autism. Carry on.

>>16363239
Your stupidity is clouding your reading comprehension skill.

What this anon said.
>>16363243

>>16363236
Yeah, you trim it to Japanese pop media. This includes j-drama as much as it includes idols and doujin threads.

>>16363251
When anon literally gives up because he can't elaborate on any of his statements when they're directly called into question.

Get out of /jp/. You clearly came here with some kind of general's migration, because you don't know what the words you're using mean.

>new /int/ general up

>>>/int/69479392

time to go home

>>16363262
I was making a contrast between something extremely popular and extremely niche, both being equally on topic. Good job making yourself look retarded though.

>>16363256
I already explained myself, there's nothing more to add, I made my point and stand on it, but you can persuade yourself I am "literally destroyed and thus giving up" if it eases the acute pain in your stomach.

>>16363270
That's not what you said. You said that doujin threads were included in "Japanese pop media".

>>16363272
I didn't say you were destroyed, I said you couldn't elaborate. There's a huge difference. This isn't some kind of formal debate where you have something to prove. Why are you so defensive?

>>16363207
>Otaku is a niche thing.

False.

>>16363280
Now here we have someone with a lot of guts.

Why do you guys come to the DJT on /int/ which is full of this kind of elitism, bitching, and overall toxic environment?

the thread on /int/ is more relaxed and chill and doesn't have this kind of bitching.

>>16363276
>>16363283
You have been hedging all this time in order to get fulfill your wish of dominating an invisible argument. Now that you've been proven wrong you are smirking playing the dumb card, once again, in order to prove yourself you still possess and control the situation in your hands.

>>16363291
I hope you're using a plural "you" there.

>>16363288
/v/ community, Brazilians and people thinking posting 3DPD reaction images is okay.

>>16363283

Nope, you're hopeless if you believe otherwise. Literally just google.

>>16363307
The word of contention in my implying that
>Otaku is a niche thing.
is not false, is "niche", not "otaku".

I didn't know /djt/ was a single person replying to himself for an entire thread.

Otaku media is not even a real fucking term. You have all been wasting your time chasing nothing.

>>16363239
Anime is a medium strongly associated with otaku, it's just not part of /jp/ because it turns out that the name of /jp/ has basically nothing to do with what you can discuss in it.

>>16363404
>Otaku media is not even a real fucking term.
Shh, don't tell them, I like it when they respond!

>>16363407
I'm sorry, watching all those words being pointlessly massacred just got to me. Next time I will try and withstand it a little longer.

Girl and guy have quarrel about something. Guy goes outside.
Girl says
>「めでたく、私がもう一人誕生か」
What mean?

>>16363454
誕生 means birthday. She is being sarcastic. You can figure out the rest yourself.

>>16363407
Desperate damage control.

>>16363484
Wow, not only does he not know English, he doesn't know Japanese either. Huh.

>>16363498
The best part is no matter how transparent it gets he'll probably keep responding.

>>16363530
I've been reading the guide for hours, sorry if I missed it, but I didn't find anything about how cards should be structured, the closest was the Anki Startup Guide and that still doesn't tell me that.

>>16363288
Because this thread is usually either slow or "toxic" enough that I can actually walk away and get shit done now and then. If I want to relax I can just turn the computer off and go to bed.

>>16363567
Probably means you use the default of the fucking deck the guide tells you to pick then.
