This. Also I'm pretty sure ~てなんだ is basically a weaker, more indirect version of てだめだ/てはだめだ. So, translating a bit liberally, it means "We shouldn't do (whatever) unrestrained", or something to that effect.

Well if it helps that bubble is in response to "結婚式はいつがいい?" asked by the girl after they had 1x paizuri and sex for the first time. Which is why I was thinking the verb + だけ "as much as I can/etc" meaning didn't exactly fit.

You really should be learning them in the context of words (the compounds on that wallpaper you post), preferably with the word being used in a sentence.

Site, area, place, location all have very similar meanings for example, but aren't always interchangeable, and might sound weird in certain situations.

I don't know of a specific wallpaper pack to download, but I have a few kanji list dumps if you want to make your own.

No, it implies the action is already done. It's more like やるだけやっといてから悪いが

Motivation is a crutch and a temporary high. If you depend on motivation in order to do something then you will never accomplish any significant long-term goal. Willpower, a good work ethic, and developing a routine of studying/working towards your goal is what yields results. Needing to feel constantly motivated will work in the beginning, but that's about it.

Put this on the poster instead:
Listen here punk, you have a choice. Do the work, or don't. Laziness and procrastination are completely irrelevant. You CHOOSE. You choose to do the work, or you choose not to. If you choose not to, you're done, get out of here.

If you choose to do the work, then a schedule will keep you in the flow. Get a website / app that tracks completed tasks as a chain and then DON'T BREAK THE CHAIN!

It helps some and it doesn't help others, you gotta figure out what works the best for you.

>>139382294
It does help, simply for the fact that writing it forces you to focus a little bit more.

Just learn the stroke order and write it a couple times if you're lazy, do it a bunch if it helps you focus.

>>139382327
That works too, but anki can derp it's stats sometimes due to date rollovers.

>>139382610
maybe you confuse motivation with inspiration
>>
>>139382682
It's true though, it's very difficult to keep up long term motivation.

ESPECIALLY for beginners, it's a really common thing to be super motivated to learn the kana and then slowly fizzle out when the actual hard stuff is encountered. There's a reason why people look down on new years resolutioners etc.

"Motivation" has sort of morphed into this ephemeral inspiration / excitement that doesn't last for long.

It's so fucking frustrating.

>>139388162
I keep all the mined vocab in one deck, I just have tags for the cards with Rikai's import settings. For example, "MinedVocab" and "VN_キミのとなりで恋してる!" (changing the 2nd tag to whatever I'm reading of course, just pulled the tag from the card I happened to be on).

It's not relevant at all to reviewing and it doesn't show anywhere on the card, but it's neat to be able to tell what I got the word from if the sentence isn't enough context to tell.

I also tag lewd words so I can move them into a different deck if I want to if I'm going to be studying in public where other people can see.

there are some cards which just get me every time. they just don't stick at all. it's so frustrating to recognize a card every day, but not recognize it as a japanese word, but instead as "this shit i see every day and never get right"
..until it becomes a leech.

>>139389503
yeah same. yesterday i found myself clicking through the last 5, forgetting them every time, until i remembered not the actual words, but just the pattern of sounds which occurred as a result of cycling through the cards and hearing the pronunciation

I started when I was in my first year (of 3) in college, did a few months, got 2k into core deck, then stopped because I was a weak fool who thought I could jump back on after a 2 week holiday. If I had not given up I'd atleast be able to read moege comfortably. I think about how much time I wasted on a daily basis. It hurts.

Anyway just do what you can I guess, but do it everyday. I'd recommend keeping up with your reps and doing at the very least an hour of reading/listening a day. If you can do more than that then do it, don't waste time like I did.

Quoting is a verb. Whom can not be the subject of a verb. who can be the subject of a verb.
Did you actually think who is short for whom and that they are not different words?

It's the other way around, actually. "whom" goes with him/her.
>Who are you quoting?
>I am quoting he.

>Whom are you quoting?
>I am quoting him.

The only way that makes any sense is if you mean you would use でしょう in some sentence instead of something else

maybe its because you cant handle the wealth of options before you so you just hold on to whole sentences for some semblance of structure

shit's pretty obvious from context especially if you watch anime and hear how people say it

It's not like the meaning has changed from the obvious meaning, it's just that it's used in a sort of sarcastic way

it's easy to get shit wrong the first time but it's pretty hard not to figure it out by the 50th time

My tomodachis can you tell me if I understood this correctly

In the third sentence "oishii no ga suki desu ka" there isn't a noun/word after the "no" particle because it is implied to be "food" right?
>>
>>139397400
it doesnt have to be food she could be thinking a dick would be tasty

so "whatevers good"
>>
>>139397400
の is a generic noun-creating word, like "the one" or "the thing". Here it's more accurate to think of her as saying "I like the tasty one."
>>
>>139397400
>>139397788
Er, and from the context, you can see she means "out of food, I like the one(s) that are tasty," for example.
>>
Is 'shits-ree' and acceptable pronunciation for 失礼?
