Either ignore him, as /lang/ is where it is related.
Or get it off 4chan all together as /jp/ isn't about Japan, not about Japanese, and since this is unrelated to this board.

No offence, but we don't want your thread here. If threads like this were to be accepted here, the board would eventually consist of almost nothing but them, considering the somewhat slow speed of the board.
I bet /lang/ doesn't want the threads there for the same reason.

But the difference here is how it is related on /lang/, wether or not they want it, wheras it doesn't belong here.
So either scram, or hang out at lang, despite the haters.

You seem frustrated.
However, what he said is true.
You'll be surprised at how much English is used in Otaku Culture. Because, that's what this board is about: Otaku, not Japanese culture. Learn the difference, it could prevent a nasty surprise.

Ugh, in English now. Anyway, you said not all Otaku are pedophiles, even in Japan. But you yourself have an Imouto moe. So you can't talk.

And I said pedophilia and imouto moe are not the same thing. a little sister is not necessarily underage.

Oh, before we get the wrong Idea: "Moe" means sexy with a sexual undertone, none of the bastardized American definitions.

Which is why I pointed out earlier that:
American Otaku =/= Japanese Otaku.

Houston, we have a logical inconsistency.

Also, check definition 2 on your urbandictionary link. "Attraction" and "sexual attraction" are not the same thing.

Do not think that since moe and sex appeal have become somewhat intertwined and blurred in modern "moe" shows does not mean that moe = sex appeal.

The difference being I welcome corrections.
That is no trivial mistake. That's a complete grrammar failure on top of a typo.

1. You seem to be under the impression that I am the one you corrected. That is not the case.
2. You say the difference is you welcome corrections, but you didn't correct that sentence in the first place. You just quoted it.
3. Its a trivial enough mistake that it simply represents a lack of proofreading rather than a lack of grammatical understanding.

Pointing out an error gives one the chance to spot the flaw for themselves without a correction. If they can't, a correction is in order. I prefer to have my errors pointed out in the same way. if I can't spot it, I'll usually ask.
My statement about welcoming corrections is actually in response to the fact you don't think I'm good enough to call someone on an error. I don't think things should work this way. Call it if you can spot it.

COLLOQUIALISMS, do you know them?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6640324
this I'll ask about, since, even though I'm pretty good at japanese, i pretty much have to use ha and ga by feel since there seem to be too many details.
So, first I will ask: Are you actually japanese, or have you lived in japan for long enough that you are VERY sure that only the second is correct?
If so, since　は is usually used for comparisons, and saying which one is right is kind of a comparison, why would it have to be が?

[「ロリあき」 No.]

Oh shit, I fail at reading. Missed the　が

No. You're just flat out wrong.

Colloquialisms? Yes, I know them very well. I'm a native speaker of Japanese.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6640325
Ok
Well I will just say that it seems like you overuse 終助詞 or use them slightly awkwardly. Also, you reverse the order of the sentence as in
>なんだよ、お前
too often as well.

Being a NEET means I never get to practice properly. I either have to hash it out with fellow /jp/sies or deal direct with Japanese folk who aren't so good at telling me WHY I'm wrong.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6640335
Yes, I'm a native speaker.

It's が and not は because が indicates that it is THE correct answer. はjust means that it is correct, but it does not properly suggest that the other is wrong.

No native would ever use は in this situation, it just sounds very awkward.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6640335
Here's an excerpt on ga from Tae Kim:

>This is where the 「が」 particle comes into play. It is also referred to as the subject particle but I hate that name since "subject" means something completely different in English grammar. Instead, I move to call it the identifier particle because the particle indicates that the speaker wants to identify something unspecified.

>>6640352
hmm maybe its not exactly reversing, but i just mean that sentence pattern

I take my input as I can get it. I also have noticed drama and movie characters speaking in this way, so I've never really considered it an "anime" thing so much as general TV talk.
