can somebody hook me up with some non-romaji grammar worksheets? tae kim has no exercises and i would honestly feel more confident if i could practise my grammar a little bit.

Ever since the update to Firefox 43 my Google IME seems to be semi-incompatible with it, as in, it still converts the characters as it should, but the list of different conversions that is supposed to be displayed that you scroll through freezes in place or doesn't display at all. It still works fine anywhere else though. I tried reinstalling and resetting both FF and the IME but neither did anything.
Anyone else experiencing this? I really don't know what else I could try.

How do I delete the cloze cards in the DOJG deck?
Tried "card: cloze" in the browser, but that just deleted the whole deck even though it was only showing cloze
>>134920817
Probably because what it actually shows you are the notes which may just have multiple card types. If so, just delete the card template using cloze. I don't have that deck though so I might be completely off.
I feel bad crawling here for help but can any of you help me with this sentence?
>どれからやるか悩んじゃうね、佳織ちゃん
It seems so easy and it's from hanahira, but i can't figure out what the やるか is about. I figure it means "from which are you worried about", but that's ignoring the やるか.
>もう初心者ではない感じ
>>134920927
やるか is やる plus the question marker か. So it means something like "You're worried about which one to start from, right, Kaori."I think.
>>134921120
おめでとう
>>134921161
ooh I think you're right, I didn't know か could be used in the middle of a sentence in that way. Thanks man
>>134920599
Oh yeah I didn't double check that link
>>134921120
>出きないいな感じ
>>134917170
>I don't see what purpose masu stem + し serves
It puts verbs in a "pre-nominal" (don't know the technical name) form, i.e. if you do masu-stem+し+noun phrase then the verb qualifies the noun.
It also makes it sound like ancient legends, magical chants and shit like that so that's where you'll see it 99% of the time. Also, it seems to have a tendency to appear along with the passive form, like in your example.
So: 呪われし宝石 = The cursed jewel. A staple is 選ばれし者, the chosen one(s).

The latter.

You don't really need to know any in this day and age, to be honest.

Anyone of you can think of a Japanese word starting with p that is not gairaigo or onomatopoeic?
>>134923702
Why not?
>>134923548
No idea, never used that one. But just from the features listed on the play store, I'd say yes.
One thing that might matter though is that aedict just uses the EDICT dictionaries, while Kodansha probably has their own data.
Interface-wise aedict still seems like the winner.

>>134924107
yes, aedict can directly create new ankidroid cards
>>134924138
Is the feature integrated into the application? This is incredible! I'm definitely not refunding it.

If you can remember the kanji you can look them up by drawing or radicals on jisho
>>134917170
It's the adnominal form of き, which was a past tense conjugation in classic Japanese. As you say, it's basically 呪われた.

Is it correct?
I cant find 行き on jisho with いき pronunciation and aren't sure what it's supposed to mean on this card.
By the way I find the lack of translation on the cards rather annoying especially since the sentences are translated in liberal way.

Look again.
>Other forms
>行き 【いき
>>134931664
Ooh, somehow I didn't notice this section. In that case why is this form used and not ゆき? Is jisho outdated regarding which form is more common?
That's merely 428th card.
I guess I'm suppose to learn that 行き means (state of) going to (some place)?

いき is the reading in that core example sentence. Think of 行き in that sentence as "on the way over". The opposite of 帰り "on the way back".
行きは新幹線で行ったのですが、今回は泊まらず日帰り、
帰りは新幹線の最終に間に合わないので深夜バスを予約しておきました
I went there by the Shinkansen but this time I didn't stay the night. I wouldn't have made the last train so I booked a bus for the way back.
But when 行き is used as a noun-suffix, it indicates the location a bus/train eg. 東京行き = bound for Tokyo. In this case, いき and ゆき can be interchangeable though I'm guessing you'll need to hear it a lot like a native to get a feel for which one sounds more natural with what destination.
>>134920817
How many cards are in the deck, total?
>>134932513
If you're halfway through special expression, you should already know what 行き is.
Is there any way to have a dark anki theme for the program itself, not just the deck?
I found an add-on through google but it didn't work
>>134934175
Thank you so much for the thorough explanation!
>finally download Core2k/6k
>cards have word, sentence, sentence translation
>no word translation
This seems backwards.
>>134934397
Best to ask in the google groups page for anki or look through the source to see how the GUI is handled. Altering the interface is a lot different to using the tools provided in the interface to alter user generated content.
>>134934564
Either youre retarded or you have a fucked up deck
>>134934564
They should. Look for the Core2k/6k/10k deck in the core. Mine has been tweaked but it contains the information you are after.
>>134934379
Amazing, it's a masu stem. Too bad it doesn't tell me anything because the stems are used in various ways and no part of Tae Kim covers what they mean on their own.

>>134934652
>>134934601
I went with the media-less one, because I don't need audio and fancy pictures, so that might have something to do with it.
I've also not messed with the coloring on this deck.
>>134934707
The DoJG deck covers diferent uses of the ます stem. Give me a sec and I'll find one of the cards.
>>134934748
Well atleast you went with the medialess
My deck is stupidly old so I dont know what they have done to the current version of it.
Either way it should have the definitions, is it the same with other cards too?
>>134934825
>>134934707
Have a look at page 556 of the Intermediate volume, Vmasu, or find the card for Vmasu in DoJG deck. That might help. The same volume also has Vmasu as a Noun, but it is slightly different.
>>134934932

>>134935310
Would it be possible to switch to your deck while maintaining the scheduling data? I didn't mind lack of word translations at first because I knew most of the stuff from anime and checked jisho whenever I wasn't sure but now I fear it might get tougher the further I get and I don't want to trouble the thread every time something isn't clear.

He's obviously from the most useless kind that is unable to empathize with anyone in different situation from his own and thinks that if he gets something everyone else should as well even if that person knows far less. However I wanted to avoid needless shitflinging because from what I saw things can escalate quickly, so I tried to respond calmly despite staggering stupidity of his replies and was prepared to drop the subject.
That's why - thanks again for answering as otherwise I would just delete the card to move on with the deck.

Basically japanese is a "synthetic" language. This means that it's all about combining small parts into big parts.
Japanese only has six verb conjugations, and they're not even always used anymore.

There are a ridiculous amount of localised LNs too. I went to this manga shop in HK recently and they had a whole floor full of chinese-translated LNs.

At about (new cards daily / old cards daily) times your old review count. A little more if you made your retention worse by adding new cards.
The function for the minimum number of reviews you can have on day X after starting your deck is newcardsdaily * (log(X)/log(ease)). Ease is 2.5 by default and lower values result in more reviews, so unless you press "easy" way too often this will be an accurate minimum number of reviews.

They will stop climbing somewhere around 600-700

If the card type matches up you should be able to import the data and update when fields first match. You'll have to alter your deck to match the fields. I'm on mobile at the moment and can't do much to help.

Yeah, I figure it'll stop somewhere around 500-600 based on where it stopped with 30-ish cards a day. If I get through those reviews fast enough by the time it levels out, I might start doing more, but we'll see.
Doubling new cards seems to have slowed my reviews time a little bit, but I assume when reviews get up to around 500 and most of the cards aren't newer cards it'll speed back up. If my pace picks back up and I can do those reviews in under an hour, I'll probably bump it up to 80-100 new cards depending how I'm feeling.

Anyone know where I can play Japanese podcasts/hours upon hours of Japanese on my phone? I have this theory that listening to moon speak while I sleep will submerge it into my subconscious mind and help my listening skills.i can't navigate the CoR on my phone I hope it's not in there

Set your phone's default language to Japanese. It'll force you to learn some new words, and sometimes pull up the Japanese version of webpages/apps.
It's a form of mini immersion that has limited, but very helpful use.

I find it painfully sad that there are actual people here who use their fucking phones for internet browsing.
If I ran this site, I'd literally make it impossible to use on mobile, 12 year olds are the absolute worst userbase you could ask for.

Why?
>>134940488
It isn't so bad on a tablet. Browsing while lying on a bed is nice. Also best fapping position.

There is a lot of audio content in the L-R link on the CoR page with all the textbooks. Page 3, from memory.

Of course the initial switch from manga to vns will be tough, but assuming you're able to understand what's going on with some effort and occasional texthooker use, it'll get a lot easier if you stick with it.
Also note Fureraba has some really pretty world-building in the prologue that might be a little tough, but after that it gets slightly easier, although it maintains its fun and excitement throughout.

Sitting in a chair is bad for your spin.
>>134940659
Don't get a spinning chair then.
>>134940687
It is bad for your spine due to your lower back not being properly supported. Spinning or not, standing or lying is better for your spine.
Only just noticed that typographical error.
>>134940687
yeah okay thanks
>>134940772
It's bad if you get a dogshit chair. I'll never understand people who spend stupid money on their computers and then sit in dumb garbage like a fucking bucket seat or a deck chair.

>>134940828
Sitting is bad for your spine, period. What are you struggling to understand here? It is due to how your spine compresses. Only standing provides correct lower back support.
It does not matter if you spend ten grand on a chair, it is the fundamental nature of seated posture.

>It is due to how your spine compresses
Your spine compresses when you stand as well, unless you're referring to some phenomenon that only occurs when sitting with specific kinds of back support.
Squatting is one of the natural postures of the human body, there's a reason slavs and africans do it all the time. Whatever fundamental fuckup to the back you're talking about, it should apply equally to squatting, which curves the lower back forwards just like sitting.

>It does not matter if you spend ten grand on a chair
Expensive chairs are usually worse for your back actually
The very worst thing you can do for your back is provide support to the upper parts of it, which is something that expensive chairs are obsessed with. It's probably for fat people. But it's excruciatingly painful for me.

I don't know why people would even bother, it'll just wind up being ESL drivel again. Use Tae Kim? I'd rather kill myself.
Japanese The Manga Way is objectively the best beginner's resource for grammar, unless you're a dirty ESL who only thinks in terms of predicate particles for a clause injunction, and other nonsense words that have no meaning.
