All day long I dream about sex
And all night long I think about sex
And all the time I think about sex with you, with you
All day long I dream about sex
And all night long I think about sex
And all the time I think about sex with you, with you

when you have sex daily for long enough you realise its just sex

>>45814756
why are you limiting yourself to this site?

Can someone help me with this one?

learning japanese doesnt make you special

>>45812958 #
から is often used for that when the sentence contains indirect objects already marked with に. keeps the syntax cleaner lest you may end up with 2 3 or even 4 に in one sentence. It is not good style and becomes harder to understand

What does it mean when the end of a verb is cut off? As in 流れに and such, I’m not talking about -te firm unless that is the case. Is it like the maus steam and it nominalizes the word?

>>45815918

just another u poster humblebrag attempt

damn got my first anti lets go

japanese doesnt have levels, only native content and non native content (think graded readers and other dekinai fodder)

Tried watching non non biyori and I couldn't understand most of it nor break it apart grammatically...

if you understood at least a decent amount then its fine, rewatch it later after youve kinda understood 10 more anime and youll probably be better

nnb is actually a little harder than the average cgdct imo

qm said he mined a lot of rare kanji from plant names in nnb

ive read about 700 pages of the 'bloom into you' manga which is classed as one of the easiest mangas and im just not improving? i struggle through every page and its not getting easier? im not sure wtf to do, its like the language just isnt clicking, every time i translate something im just left thinking how tf does it mean that??

こんなに天気いいのに今日も学校か
What does the に here mean after saying this nice weather. I think the の is being used to indicate that the nice weather is the topic so it wouldn't make sense to be talking about going towards good weather since the sentence is asking if you still want to go to school in such nice weather. I assume the sentence was cut short and it implied to be 学校行きますか

Japanese stopped learning Japanese language after high school?

>>45817714
Thanks

>>45817790

i fucking hate sentences like this so much, not a single noun, verbs, kanjki, just a string of kanas that you can only get through 10k hours of 'feeling it' just a bunch of fluff 'words '

>>45817882
ない is a verb

>>45817882
if u know どうでもいい which u can acquire without imersion from djt with いつでもいい yoga clip and then なんか is something u shoulda acquired from eng subbed anime

>>45817899
well どうでもいい is like, thats fine, thats enough, no worries etc, its then in yoku form because fuck you, なんか has like 50 meanings, it can be the casual nanika which is something, it can be somehow or some kind of, it can be used to put emphasis on the word before normally in a negative way, it can just mean literally nothing, just a filler word, this time its in negative form, so maybe its the short for nanika nanka? so

'its whatever, its not something'

>>45817957

>>45817971
ahh ok so its,

'no worries, thats not something like'

its all so clear now

What the fuck is the difference between 民 and ⺠?

i literally just ignore nanka, in every sentence, it adds nothing and is just filler

>>45817984
this usage of なんか is ある事物を例示し、それを軽んじていう意を表す。…など。「彼の言うことなんか聞くな」「君になんかわからない」
that sentence its saying something like
you should bloody care about it mate

>>45817993
one has fairy god parents

i wonder can all japanese roll their r's or can only the real tough guys do it

>>45818014
>you should bloody care about it mate
i can assure you thats not what shes saying lol, its a yuri anime where one girl says, do you even care, and she replies with pic related

>>45818060
post the whole page

were reaching levels even pre pre beginner

>>45817984
[[things like [not worth worrying about]] is-not] よ]
>>45818060
it's just an affirmation that the thing is not unimportant, so it can mean both depending on the context

>>45818072

>>45818098
>[[things like [not worth worrying about]] is-not] よ]

yeah fuck this language lol, i gotta solve a riddle just to understand some casual beginner convo, all of the words feel so abstract to me, just talk about a red car nigger why you speaking in abstract ideas and ways

>>45818107
yeah in this context its saying of course i bloody care about it rather than you should bloody care about it since the topic is whatever issue the bitch on the phone has rather than something the one laying down has done

>>45818147
yeah i dunno, guess i need another 1000 pages of immersion to understand how you go to that, i appreciate it though thank you <3

>>45818130
just feel it out. it will take 1k hours of anime at most, not 10k

>>45818130
this is a pen
the pen is red

>>45818159
its just keeping in mind what the topic of the conversation is but at least there are pretty pictures to look at even if you dont understand everything 100%

kore wa yaku ni tati dess

>>45818163
yeah im trying man, i just kinda thought id be better at reading a basic manga after 700 pages, the immersion way is always saying 'trust the progress' and 'your mind just deciphers it!' but im literally seeing 0 progress lol, when theres a dedicated verb/noun in the sentence as a topic im ok with it but its these fucking strings of kana

>>45818194
i don't believe you when you say you're seeing 0 progress

yagakimi has an anime adaptation so have you tried perhaps watching the anime with english subs i feel that would complement the manga nicely

if ur expecting to get good after like sub 50 hours of reading (ur not rly reading bc its manga) then theres a lot to come but dw after like 1k hours ull be chilling and after about 10k u can come to the big boy club

>>45818203
maybe im just underestimating how hard these kana sentences are, cause theyre the most casual and common in convos i feel like they should be the easiest but its starting to seem you need a firm understanding of the essence/core/feeling of japanese to really get them, i dont even know where to start translating them cause they feel so abstract lol

>>45818205
im trying to stay away from english as much as ai can (even thought i have the english manga in a tab) i have watched some of the anime though yeah

nice fucking language

sigh i'll never be able to sit at the big boy table with jamal

the colorful table looks fun but he's over there with the rest of the special students reviewing 4+7

>>45818246
yeah so you took "i still can't do something i incorrectly assume i should already be able to do" and turned it into "i'm making 0 progress". dr k would probably say that this is your brain distorting reason&logic in an attempt to trick you into quitting to save energy for other important endeavors like jerking off to english translations

>>45817892
How can the concept of non-existence be a verb

>>45818333
because non-existence is a state we attribute to things and verbs can express states

>>45818333
We don't say "it is exists" in English. Japanese merely has no need to add a verb when using the negative.

jamal is the ilpalazzo of djt

no one misses him

>>45818372
by itself, nai just describes non-existence so it's not a verb. it's saying that something is not there, not "does" not there ifkwim

>>45818383
that's what I was getting at. nai isn't a verb

im like prebatman bruce wayne i willingly throw myself into the djt prison to beat the shit out of low life thugs

>>45818333
>>45818372
>>45818417
without wanting to be too much of a nerd, ない is a 助動詞 and its a 形容詞 by itself (even when u learn about it being the negative of ある)
u can tell when its a 助動詞 and when its a 形容詞 by seeing if u can use ぬ instead like
苦しくない->苦しくぬ × 形容詞
苦しまない->苦しまぬ 〇 助動詞

>>45818417
in human thought non-existence is treated as a state. when you say "unicorns don't exist", you attribute non-existence to unicorns. and since verbs can express states, a language can have verbs for the state of non-existence. if some languages don't, that doesn't mean it's universally forbidden

>>45816761
"can you bare with it?"
"i will learn to do so / i will manage"
よう in できるようになる means a resultative state. i will become this way = able to do

damn djt actually helping ppl 優しい世界

>>45817696
こんな directly refers to a known noun which is being further described, e.g. by an adjective or subsentence - this[=こんな] [description] [noun], one [noun] like this, something like this [noun], one such as this [noun]

こんなに refers to the way something is, it is adverbial. in your sentence it is
こんなに天気（が）いいのに
even though the weather is so nice - こんに refers to いい, "good as this"
the が is omitted here, all these markers man

>>45818333
>>45818522

when i sleep well my lower back feels good. when i feel like i woke up a lot in the middle of the night (like just happened to me) my lower back feels more sore and painful the entire next day. even though other variables like my sleep position is identical.

which way djt?

i unironically think about stuff like this. shorter women are hotter to me but i don't want short kids. i'm only average height but both of my parents are above average in height for their sex so i think my kids will have a pretty good chance of being at least average or taller. but that means not picking a dwarf woman.

“just read more”anons are completely stupid and have no idea how the brain works for acquisition lol the only thing that matters after your first few hundred hours reading is how much you reread and read aloud per day

one shot reading is worth only 5% the gains of rereading aloud. 30 minutes re-reading and 30 minutes reading aloud gives more gains than 6 hours just reading something in your head straight through. everything takes way longer to take root if you only read it once and only in your head. gains come much faster when you reread things and read them aloud.

>>45818760
completely natural no need for irony at all everyone should want the best genes for their kids
my parents are both 175cm and im 190 so i guess i got the tall genes from my mums side and maybe even with a shortarse my kids would be tall but not worth the risk

>>45818790
vocaroo.com can use >>45818751 if u want to show off ur immense reading aloud gains

tall people live shorter lives

>>45818194
you have to 1. reread 2. read aloud

thanks to embryo selection you'll soon be able to harvest eggs from your woman (i've heard it's a painful process oof), genetically screen batches of 10 of them, and choose to have the one that has the most genes for IQ and height. the future is amazing.

>>45818799
not him but you could start by showing off your read more gains first. the floor is yours

starting to think people are right that reading the easy stuff extensively is important so that i can start remembering phrases and stuff easier which should help my listening because my listening is so bad and i'm forced to white noise everything

Whenever people on this sub ask "why are you learning Japanese" I can never answer properly. The real reason is, it is a fairly embarrassing story but maybe it belongs here.

I actually confess, I don't know much about languages. I heard learning French was a good way impress girls so I went to the language section in my local bookstore and picked out what I THOUGHT was an intro French book.

The book was called, "Genki". In my defense, if you say "Genki" with the right accent, it sort of sounds like a French word.

I read the book for a while and I figured I was doing a pretty good job of learning the language! It had a different writing system, but I mean I heard other countries were different so it seemed fair to me. Like you know, in Britain the mailboxes are red, so maybe in France they use hiragana.

dunno how retarded ud have to be to believe that kinda story

i'm a lot smarter than that redditor but he's probably happier than me so whatever

no it reduces the g loading of vocabulary subtests

>why are you learning japanese
https://elyase-anime.com/

When I was a little kid I was into anime, and from middle school took a broader interest in other countries and cultures.

After studying Spanish in high school I decided that I liked learning languages and since I was still interested in Japan, chose to major in it when I went to college. After studying abroad I knew Japan was where I wanted to be; I moved back right after college graduation and haven’t looked back since

10 years later I’d consider myself pretty fluent yet still have a ways to go before I can be considered near-native (maybe in another 10 years haha)

Hey, guys, I just wanted you to know how much you've changed my life.

When I started learning Japanese, I was struggling with simple things, like how particles works and memorizing both kanas. It was incredibly rough, and I always felt that there was something wrong with me. I almost gave up multiple times. But now that I've spent some time getting to see your struggles as well, I finally understand:

All of you are complete trash, and I'm so much better than any of you.

Now I can study as much as I want, because I know that, no matter how badly I fuck up, it'll never be as bad as some of the absolute garbage you post. Like, Jesus Christ.

With love, Anon

wtf bros i was told japanese women love being housewives

humans are lazy and dont wanna work

dude actually thought normal people like wasting away their lives doing menial tasks at home
rofl

>>45819597
>pushing a wheelbarrow
>getting gas for the car
>doing laundry

wtf kinda house wife is she

most humans are lazy and don't wanna work. they are being genetically selected for because women who don't go to college or work have more children.

lots of white and asian people enjoy work.

no the issue is people want rewarding work
doing the same thing day in and day out like most modern jobs isnt rewarding

meaningless distinction because most work isn't and won't be "rewarding". so people don't wanna work. even your communist utopia would require trash collectors you stupid faggot.

heres some rewarding work for you *unzips*

people just don't want to work any more, not like the good old days

the word for "work" in many european languages is derived from a roman torture instrument but (((they))) want us to believe theres such a thing as enjoyable work

gonna need ciarans opinion on this

i meant ((((labour))))!!

if you love half of your work you are doing good, in any kind of profession. Anything worth doing will be at least half struggle

>>45819679
事務所
刑務所

it just means work in latin thoughever

if you think work is something to be enjoyed rather than something to get over with as quick and with as little effort as possible so you can get on with your actual life, you're brainwashed and domesticated. simple as.

no bro i don't even work but you're overblowing its meaning there

>>45819700
>get it over with as quick as possible
lol? that doesn’t make sense as most jobs require certain dedicated hours from you, even salary positions expect you to be available for emails or slack messages etc

besides that, you’re acting like working for a company is the only path in life. but you can be your own boss and make your own money as an entrepreneur, in which case trying to be lazy is a terrible idea

Hedonism is a system of values. Value pleasure.

The basis of communism is the labor value equivalency, that more labor makes something more valuable. So yes the two systems are at odds

never worked a day in my life never will its literally that simple

>>45819761

>>45819764
>The basis of communism is the labor value equivalency, that more labor makes something more valuable.
that's just a marxist theory of what gives commodities exchange value in capitalism. it has nothing to do with "value" as in "system of values"

for me it's 20% enjoyment, 80% suffering, as a neet

go back to work wagie, leave the neeting for the pros

is it possible to completely avoid söy based products in japan? i might travel there next year but i don't want to eat any söyslop, so i'm worried because i heard they use it a lot including in condiments and such.

>>45819790
not him but communism: collective optimization via deferred gratification; hedonism: individual maximization via immediate thrills. incompatible. resource allocation? zero-sum struggle between societal needs and personal desires. value definition? clash of altruism and egoism. temporal focus? building versus burning the candle at both ends. one sows, the other consumes

>>45819861
i've only worked for 2 weeks on my entire life

Never play CDDA in Japanese.
Worst mistake of my life.

how do you work on your life?

2 weeks is enough to be poisoned by wageoid mentality

to be fair i'm not saying neeting is unejoyable, if i had money and the will to live i think it'd be alright, not something working would fix for what's worth either

Ideally, you drink raw animal blood and eat raw animal organs.
You choose a wife who isn't brainwashed by society.
You have 10+ children with her, because children gurantee happiness.
The best way to do that right now is to collect as much government money as possible.

If you mean, "how do I work on my life in a man-made system that is trying to enslave me", you have to find a trade to become self-employed from.
Wagies are absolute slaves. So you want to be self-employed.
Of course, in nature you wouldn't have self-employment, either. Money is fake, anyway.
Additionally, never stress your body out lifting man-made metals or running in circles like a hamster. No animal exercises in nature.

this misses the point. we're not talking about the compatibility of living as a hedonist and living in a communist society, but about the compatibility of living as a hedonist in a capitalist society and communism. obviously in a communist society individual hedonism is incoherent. but we're talking about someone living in a capitalist society, and communism is simply not about pretending you live in a communist society while living in capitalist society. it's not a personal life philosophy.
now it's true that you can't actually be a good communist if you're consumed by hedonism because it prevents you from accomplishing communist (political) tasks. but that's not what liberals actually mean when they say things like this >>45819675. instead, they conceive communism not as political activity but as life philosophy (as evidenced here >>45819764), which is incorrect.

side point: communism doesn't counterpose altruism to egoism. it's simply that in such society individual egoism aligns with species egoism, which is the same as altruism

evolution selects for individual success not abstract "species good" powerful elites in communist systems can hijack collective interest for their own gain and resource scarcity inevitably pits individuals against each other exposing the fallacy of perfect alignment

the historical failures of various communist regimes to achieve true "species egoism" in practice along with the existence of alternative socioeconomic models that attempt to balance individual liberties with collective well-being and the potential role technology and automation are playing in mitigating resource scarcity and individual competition shows how reductive and retarded your argument is

i get it that there was an attempt to talk about that, but my point is that there are no communist ideals and no communist philosophy.
"They have no ideals to realize, but to set free the elements of the new society with which old collapsing bourgeois society itself is pregnant."
"If we deduce world schematism not from our minds, but only through our minds from the real world, if we deduce principles of being from what is, we need no philosophy for this purpose, but positive knowledge of the world and of what happens in it; and what this yields is also not philosophy, but positive science."
and so on.
so the only thing that can be compared for someone living under capitalism is their declared communism vs their practical activity. and here you could even have an extreme hedonist whose greatest pleasure is the thrill of taking part in revolutionary activity, which drives him contribute greatly to communism. so there's no a priori incompatibility with hedonism.

which in social species is often largely dependent on social success. and especially when the species is socially organized in a communist way.
>powerful elites in communist systems
no such thing. if there are "powerful elites", then it's not a communist society
>for their own gain
what own gain? in communism society there's no property and no division of labor.
>and resource scarcity inevitably pits individuals against each other
you can equally say that it brings them together, because combined labor has greater productive power than individual labor
>the historical failures of various communist regimes to achieve true "species egoism" in practice
you're describing capitalist regimes that were aiming to develop capitalist production on the back of the workers and using communism as an ideological cover for political expediency
>along with the existence of alternative socioeconomic models that attempt to balance individual liberties with collective well-being
lol you can attempt whatever you want but you won't overcome the laws of capital
>and the potential role technology and automation are playing in mitigating resource scarcity
it doesn't matter because capital will take as much as it can. there will never be enough. humans can thrive on a fixed amount of resources but capital has no limits

>which in social species is often largely dependent on social success. and especially when the species is socially organized in a communist way.
communist systems haven't always incentivized such harmony when you look at history what you have is forced compliance and stifled innovation which is hardly a testament to individual flourishing
>if there are "powerful elites", then it's not a communist society
accumulation of power and influence is an inherent human tendency and elites inevitably emerge whether through bureaucratic channels or charismatic leadership going on to shape "species egoism" to their own ends

obviously ignoring individual needs within the collective fosters resentment and stagnation but true progress requires both collective efficiency and individual motivation and that's a balance communism has often struggled to achieve moreover capital's role isn't simply resource acquisition it's constant expansion and that's a dynamic that clashes with any fixed system communist or otherwise

communism hasn't lead to that. capitalism and lack of communism have lead to that. and the reason capitalist classes aim to develop capitalism rather than communism is not because communism is impossible. it's rather because developing capitalism is in the interests of those classes.

no, i took a college lecture on translation studies once (not japanese though).
she says she wants to capture the spirit of the original lyrics, and then proceeds to spout her interpretation of what the lyrics mean. but that's just it, it's only her interpretation.
song lyrics are notoriously hard to translate (much harder than technical documents or even normal dialogue) and they're best untranslated. why did she want to make the song into english in the first place lol? nobody made an english version of despacito

How do I get into outputting? At what point in my immersion journey should I even consider beginning to output? What's the general consensus on this here?

>immersion journey

>>45820436
>communist systems haven't always incentivized such harmony when you look at history what you have is forced compliance and stifled innovation
you're not describing communist societies, you're describing state-directed capitalist accumulation. which, i agree, has those features, but they're not necessarily bad at that stage. the states using this kind of policy, such ussr and china, already had developed western technology ready to "adopt" in the early phases of industrialization, so it's not like innovation was a priority. it's different later, which is what explains deng's reforms in china
>accumulation of power and influence is an inherent human tendency
but it is only actualized if there are means of doing it readily available and if there are no better options. you can say shitting in the woods is an inherent human tendency, but people in the cities don't do that because they have conveniently placed toilets.
>whether through bureaucratic channels or charismatic leadership
as i've said, in communist society there's no social division of labor, so there's no career bureaucracy or leadership in the first place.
>obviously ignoring individual needs within the collective fosters resentment and stagnation
yeah that's why the proletariat will be driven to abolish capitalism
>true progress requires both collective efficiency and individual motivation
which is easy to come by when you live in communism as a direct member of a society whose collective efficiency greatly determines your individual quality of life, where your only wealth is in what your society as a whole is capable of providing here and now because you have no means of accumulating private property or securing a privileged bureaucratic job for life
>capital's role isn't simply resource acquisition it's constant expansion
yeah, expansion for the sake of expansion. which has some useful side effects, but ultimately drives capitalism to collapse.
>that clashes with any fixed system communist or otherwise
communist society is not fixed, it can use the technical and scientific basis to expand if that's in its interest, just only for the sake of improving people's quality of life, not for the sake of expansion of monetary value

>>45820584
>At what point in my immersion journey should I even consider beginning to output?
day 1. get a textbook. don't be like these guys

>>45820584
why are you learning japanese?
knowing the answer to this you should be able to answer your own question.
no you won’t get crippled if you output early on, that’s literally what all native speakers do

just do what you'd want to do if you were already fluent.
this is what everyone itt does (read erotic visual novels)
if your goal is talking to native speakers, then do that. get a native japanese tutor if necessary

>muh capitalist class boogeyman
typical paranoid populist with delusions of persecution looking everywhere but within to find scapegoats he can pin the blame for his loser life's pratfalls on

>>45820584
more or less when you feel able or need to, given enough input you'll begin to hear voices and autistically says things in the wrong language sometimes, that's how you know that it's working
babies begin to output because they have needs and have reached a point where they can begin to communicate, you should do the same

no, the interest of the bourgeoisie and the peasantry wasn't to develop communism, so idk why you'd expect them to do that
>>45820524
and i'm telling you that it's not the idea of communism that has led to that. it was the interests of the bourgeoisie and the peasantry. those classes didn't have the intention to develop communism at all
>>45820556
>don't implement it at a state level
sure, the state will be destroyed so it will be implemented on the level of society as a whole
>but me leave out of this
you could be dead by that point and in that case sure, you'll be left in peace. otherwise i'm afraid not

>>45820675
it's not a run-on sentence. it has multiple clauses but it is 100% grammatically correct and i dare you to prove me wrong

>>45820759
oh ok if it just did then i concede

>>45820748
that's a preference *not* a grammatical correction. the original is 100% correct and natural

i saved 80k teaching in japan for 5 years now i think i’m just going to put all the money in a high yield savings account earning 2k a year doing nothing and live in my parents mansion as long as i can

>>45820749
i just read the paper. seems anecdotal to me

>>45820773
were you working minimum wage

“your loser life” definitely isn’t grammatically correct

nope

Got a job opportunity to go to Japan, and I'd want to, but I really don't want to learn the language (it's a requirement). It'd be easier if I was still a weeb

>>45820787
natives frequently use some nouns as adjectives nowadays. it's common for esls to not pick up on this

>>45820824
it’s not as stable as a savings account but according to google, vtsax is up 18.73% over the last year

>>45820752
fuck you don't know how much I want to do that bro....

hidden shit

>>45820838
do you put your money in there?

>>45820111

>>45820873
thats not how that works

>>45819091

>>45820877
it is, google it

>>45820853
you learn it through grammar lessons and excercises

>>45820848
concession for what? it's a conscious choice and a matter of convention. also the original implication was that it's a run-on sentence but you've been unable to prove it

googling it would lower my iq

>>45820866
you might lose in the short term but in the long term it will grow. it’s an index over the entire us economy so the only way to lose it all would probably be some sort of apocalypse scenario in which case ur probably dead anyway

>>45820877
>Furthermore, it assumes that the author... is sufficiently fluent in English as to not be restricted in his choice of words
i feel very restricted. my highest level of output practice is 4chan. +35 it is

>>45820866
growth index funds are almost always slightly above the inflation marker
its relatively safe

When explaining someone is a 歴女 (Reki-jo), is the term "history girl" enough? Would "history nerdette" also work or is that too casual? I know the overall idea is a girl obsessed with japanese history

>>45820917
personally i would put femcel here, translation is more about feeling it out than accuracy

any esl who grew up with the internet has been bombarded with high amounts of input for over a decade so yeah you're not allowed to cope

as for me? vtuber stonks

you need output to activate the vocabulary though. i don't deny that my passive vocabulary is sufficient, but i can't use half of it freely
