>久能は腰に当てた手を姉さんにはたかれても、わるびれずニヤついている
久能 slapped with the hand he had on the 姉さん's 腰 and she let a timid ニヤ.
Did I get it right?
>>140192341
Learn some basic grammar dude.
>>140192341
Yeah almost, watch more grammar to learn some new anime.
>>140192341
No, 姉さんにはたかれても is passive (slapped by 姉さん). 姉さん is slapping 久能's hand, which was on her hip.
>>140192544
Did you learn from cartoons too?
>>140192544
If it's passive it means the subject isn't doing it?
Also what about the second part, わるびれずニヤついている, "she let out a non-shy nya".
>>140192635
That's what it means.
>>140192635
>"she let out a non-shy nya".
>nya
>she
>that feel when you accidentally download a hard-subbed anime episode
>outset
why not just say beginning?
Just started my first LN, what's the easiest way of looking up words I don't know? My current method is drawing the kanji out in google translate with my trackpad, copying the kanji it gives me and looking them up on Jisho or something
>>140192945
Scratch out that last part, I just need an easy way of getting the kanji/word from my book to my computer
>>140192945
There's plenty of LNs in text or aozora bunko format. Download those instead.
>>140192635
Yeah, passive means the action is being done to the subject by another actor. に often marks the person doing the action, like 姉さん here.
The second part you got right. The line overall is basically: "Even though she slapped the hand 久能 placed on her hip, she let out a non-shy grin," or similar.

Anyone know of any good "cheat sheet" to help me remember the particles or other really basic grammar shit so I don't have to constantly go back to Tae Kim or whatever when I forge early on?
I found https://files.tofugu.com/articles/japanese/2009-03-25-japanese-particles-cheatsheet/japanese-particles-cheatsheet1.pdf but not sure if it's the best one out there.
Is 電子レンジ exclusively used to refer to a microwave, or can it also be like a toaster oven or electric stove or something?
Reading something where a character is talking about making toast in the 電子レンジ and it's confusing me.
>>140197249
You might find this useful if you want "cheat sheets" / quick references
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dckt6ix32l93f35/fora.pdf
But for the most part you solidify stuff through reading. If you mean forgetting stuff while you're still going through Tae Kim for the first time then I guess the Tae Kim sentence deck in the CoR and deleting all of the sentences you feel you don't need (since it honestly has way too many cards) would be fine. You could also try the DoJG deck, but if you're not done with Tae Kim I'd probably wait until you're done with Tae Kim since the example sentences will probably take way too long to read that early on.
>>140197461
>But for the most part you solidify stuff through reading.
Well that's kind of why I wanted a cheat sheet in the first place. So I can just read, and keep glancing at my cheat sheet to help me reinforce what shit actually means, rather than playing the "try to guess what the sentence means by context and vocabulary" game and likely not learn near as much.
>ついていない日曜日だ
Does this mean "it was an unusual Sunday"?
From imabi:
明日に控えた最後の集会
Last assembly postponed to tomorrow
Can 控える mean "to postpone" like that?
>>140197657
Cool animation site bro! Thanks!
俺の勝ちだ
I learned this language... By watching emne a lot
>>140197249
Yeah the cheat sheet is called Japanese Animations
ill still be chillin 安心しろ
>>140197657
Are you questioning Imabi's godlike Japanese ability?
>>140198614
If it keeps up too much longer they might decide to just purge the threads altogether. I mean Japanese learning has never been strictly on-topic here. It was always just kind of tolerated based on the fact that a lot of the population was interested.
If mods start to see the threads devolving into dens of shitposting then I can easily see them saying enough is enough and stop turning a blind eye to them. Easier for them than to sift through and remove the shitposts.
>>140198812
So you're saying I should make that raw manga thread OP for a backup thread?
>>140198617
I think I'm questioning his English ability.
>>140198812
i would think about it like this: why sift through shit to decide which shit is the bad shit when its all shit
>>140198848
I don't think submitting to the shitposter is a good idea and >>140198812 probably is the shitposter trying to get rid of the thread by shitposting.
But I don't actually think a raw manga thread replacing this would be a bad idea, as long as it has a "How do I learn Japanese?" with a link to the guide. Basically just make the thread slightly more on topic in name, and still allow Japanese questions.
i'm going to___hug___risa from japanesepod
>>140198812
If you believe this it's no wonder you spend your whole day trying to make the thread shitty. Anyone with a brain can see it's all one guy.
>>140198963
I think he's just a retarded fuck doing whatever, if the mods take these threads down, he'll just take his shits on /a/.
>>140199013
Well, just look at what happened to the Homestuck threads on /co/. They were a lot more on-topic for that board than these threads are for this one.
As a black guy in Japan will I get harassed by the cops?
>>140198963
Everyone is is a bad guy trying to kill this thread. Thanks for the info, 亜荷芽棒や
So from watching about 10 animes I've gathered
>nani = what
>demo = but
>baka = stupid
>bakemono (?) = monster
>hoi = yes
>so da na = ok
>so ka = I see
>arigatou = thanks
>gomen, gomensai = sorry
>aniki = brother
>onni-chan = brother?
>kun = diminutive for male
>san = respectful for female
>senpai = boss?
>damare = shut up
>dare = who?
>ohai = good morning
>moshi moshi = hello (on a telephone)
>shine = death
>kami = god
>kawaii = cute
>moe = cute attractiveness
>korosu = kill
>masaka = expression of disbelief
>ikso = damn
>shikso = shit?
>urusai = shut up
>yoshi = I'm ready
>desu = ending a sentence to mean "that's true"
Is this a decent amount of word knowledge? Which ones am I wrong on?
Feel free to stomp me into the ground with elitism
>>140199408
Yes, I believe サブ人間 are harassed by cops in Nippon.
>>140199465
That's a pretty good result actually, I believe this is about 50% of all Japanese daily life vocabulary, especially shikso, ohai and senpai.
>>140198984
>>140199465
>senpai = boss
Just what the fuck where you watching.
>>140199465
"ikso" is actually "kuso", which literally means "shit".
>>140199782
ikso is a very slang and male way of saying kuso, but I guess how would you know anything about maleness, right?
>>140199557
Kek
I forgot a few
>ja-nah = see ya
>oi = hey
>hanase, ikase = let's go
>nase = why?
>dakara = because
>ike = go
>ending saying name with "des" = that's me
>>140199670
I don't want to say because I haven't finished watching it. It's from the 90s.
>>140199782
Thanks, good to know
>>140199924
I'll give you a few more common ones, I don't even know how you missed them:
>meido = cute girl
>onna no ko = slang for sister
>daze = male way of saying "that's true"
>yareyare = expression of agreement and disbelief
>neko = cat
>fzakerna = something like "I will korosu you if you come near me" very male and agressive
>hora = female way of saying "that's true"
>aho = stupid animal
>pantsu = panties
>jiksho = you say it when you want to insult your enemy
>>140199465
sugoi onni-chan
demo baka desu
ike shine
>>140200098
Could you explain how jiksho and shikso are different?
>>140200165
shiksho is slang for shit, jiksho is an insult to a person you have a grudge against. They sound pretty similar, but you'll learn to differentiate them by context pretty soon if you keep watching more stuff.
>>140193009
Use the google translate app on a smartphone/tablet, it has OCR.
>>140200098
Thanks anon.
Also forgot two more that are common
>otosa = father
>okasa = mother
>>140200221
and what about jukujo
Here are some set expressions that you hear often and just some words:
>hito wa korosarereba shinu sore ga atarimae nando = something is bound to happen and is very obvious
>choto matte kudasai = please wait I want to follow you
>choto! = female/cute way of saying choto matte kudasai
>damare zo! = shut up! (very male)
>ara = female way of saying "that's true"
>>140200304
I'm not sure I've heard of it actually.
140200289
Yeah, those are very useful too.

Is there some sort of guide to mimetic expressions and onomatopoeia? The one in the CoR is ass.
>>140201500
Yes, this guide is called watching a lot, and I mean a lot of anime.
how difficult was it to learn japanese 15-20 years ago without all of these handy dandy online resources

But it is still hard for me.

Yes they are the same, just used in different periods or Japanese history, one was used mostly in Edo, the others in Showa and Heisei. Basically same stuff, you can use them interchangeably.
>>140203765
Later he says the 1000 actually aren't all kanji but are 179 radicals, 235 kanji, and 586 vocab. Probably just a troll.
>>140204462
