Japanese
 

I was just wondering how many people here take Japanese at their school. How come its not in Graal? There's freaking every other language. Some languages I haven't even heard of (there, it's graal related :P ). I'm currently in Japanese2 and right now I'm studying like crazy (all the stuff I learned last year) cause there's a review test tomorrow. Well, if anyone takes it reply. Maybe we can help each other with hw and stuff. :)

japanese year two, here.

baca-yado

I don't know if it works online but...

Spelled baka wrong, I can tell you know nothing about japanese. :o

haha, he did.

yobo somo yabab babbaliki

lol, that was stupid.. :p

Nastazio: ya i spelt it wrong.. it means son of a ***** correct?

nope, why the hell would such a small word like baka mean son of a *****. baka is a shortened version of the real word, which I forgot. It means like stupid, or fool.

Shnobo mobo jobobo.

japanese is cool i wish i could take it, i gotta take stupid ass french. but i always wanted to learn japanese

French owns you.

Swedish does, too, heck, even Dutch owns you.

Learn a little bit japanese here

grr
 

hahaha... oh wait, that was stupid. get a life :mad:

Once I get a new comp I'll be writing some tuturials.

My school doesn't offer Japanese, or else, I would be taking it. I only know a little japanese, myself. Though Alkaren's sword's name is japanese: The Kamiken. :)

There's so much to learn. The hard part about Japanese is only the Kanji. I can memorize like 50 words solidly or so in about an hour. It's the Kanji that are harder to memorize. I have a test today. I know I'll get a C.

Re: grr
 

Vice versa to you too, pal.

YOU TALKING TO ME?!??!?!?:megaeek:

i wish my school sapported it but due to a low budget i have to take spanish...AHHH THE BANE OF MY LIFE

The people that annoy me are the ones that try to learn japanese just so they can impress you by saying japenese phrases. It happens a lot too.. I remember this one guy in high school I used to hang out with in the morning.. he would always come in there telling me about j-pop and acting like he was SO into japenese culture.. He is one of those "I'm moving to japan" people that will never move to japan, because they just lie to pretend like they are special or something. :rolleyes:

whats the point... :confused:

If you speak english, use english, its a global language and using japanese would just cause problems.

:p

Japanese owns too :P (:Þ)

I'm a lot like that... well, maybe not. But I never use Japanese phrases to impress people. I like to use Japanese words for stuff like the Samurai kingdom because they sound cool to me, but I find it silly how people will throw Japanese phrases into a conversation just to sound cool.

i took japanese in 5th, 6th, 7th, skipped 8th because of the teacher, now in 9th im taking japanese2 again because i missed 8th. and how would you know how to spell japanese phrases in english correctly? itchie nee san yon go roku nana hatchi cue ju... i know none of thats right. if i lived in the school system i attend now before 5th grade i would have taken it since kindergarten, almost would be able to speak it fluently by now..

Haha

¡aye! ¡me duele mi pene!

your sig looks like the grinch dressed for a KKK cross burning...

I think instead of nana, it's shishi. Or at least thats what I was taught, heh.

Earlier it did have something related to KKK in it sadly :(

i think its either one, i dont know the circumstances you use the different one or other though

heh!
When I read the nana thing, I thought my martial arts teacher had told me wrong all those years ^_^

There is no wholly correct way to write things in english from Japanese, so it's juvenile to nitpick.
For example, sometimes disregarding spelling convention makes for more compelling proper nouns.
Nonetheless, convention makes it easier to convert tham back to Japanese. So using "baka" would be preferable to "baca" because we learn to write "ka" syllables in Japanese. In english "c" is sometimes soft and that can cause confusion.

actually its,

ichi, ni, san, yon/shi, go, roku, nana/shichi, hachi, kyuu, jyuu

He spelled it that way on purpose to illustrate that you cannot wholly correctly translate Japanese. All it is is a phonetic translation, you know?

Ohayoo gozaimasu minasan

Where do you live, Australia?

Who are you asking this?
