For a moment there, I thought I had a grasp of when onyomi is used. But then the reading isn't even consistent with two vocab that follow the same pattern. I can't learn Japanese.
>>140781142

you asked for this
>>140781142
I'm 5400 words in and I couldn't tell you a single onyomi with certainty.

Aaaahhh, kanji, my favorite topic. With a language like Chinese, it actually makes sense! Kanji is great as long as you don’t totally f***k them up like the Japanese did.
I think a small number of characters have maybe a max of 2 readings. Even then, it’s because it means something completely different like 觉, which is “jiào” when it means “to sleep” and “jué” when it means “to think”. Let’s compare that to Japanese, which for instance has like a million readings for 「生」. What the hell, 「なま」 doesn’t even originate from Chinese! Why the heck do you write it with a Chinese character?!
Chinese is so much simpler that it wins hands down over Japanese here. It’s not even a contest. The only beef I have with Chinese is simplified, traditional, blah blah, blah… just pick one! Don’t make me have to learn both! The Japanese government can successfully mandate a new set of characters and they don’t even have a real army. Why can’t you?

He's right about
>There are only like a dozen kanji with this many readings. It isn't remotely as big of a deal as you make it out to be.
It's the jump from 1 to 2 readings that makes Japanese significantly harder. Like, the jump from 1 to 2 is as much of a difficulty leap as from 2 to 12
>>140783461
The only point I was trying to make by quoting that blog post was that kanji is a bit of a clusterfuck since it wasn't created for the Japanese language. When you know how kanji (hanzi) works in Chinese, you realise just how fucked up its use in Japanese is in comparison.
Basically, I was trying to dispel that guy's idea that kanji readings weren't making sense to him because of some deficiency on his part.
>>140782761
Why are you quoting Kim as though he is some sort of authority on kanji? He is an amateur who wrote a decent free introductory grammar guide.
Use your own words if you have any.
>>140783806
>kanji is a bit of a clusterfuck since it wasn't created for the Japanese language
And "Chinese" isn't one set of characters, they also have varied influence from different dynasties over time and not only that the readings for hanzi can vary from dialect to dialect, and there are thousands of them in mainland China alone.
>When you know how kanji (hanzi) works in Chinese, you realise just how fucked up its use in Japanese is in comparison.
Yes, and when you know more about how characters are used in China, you'll feel glad that you're learning Japanese and not a Chinese language. At least readings in Japanese are consistent over the nation and don't dynamically change from ward to ward.

sorry if this is a stupid question but anki options confuse the heck out of me, is there a recommended set of options for the core 2k deck? like new cards per day and what not?
>>140789580
5-10 cards
>>140789620
ty anon
>>140789580
Change the "maximum reviews/day" to something large like 500-1000.
Start off with like 20 cards per day, and adjust it depending on how much free time you have - raise it if you have more time, and lower it if anki is taking too long.
Set leeches to mark only instead of automatically suspending them.
Everything else can and should be left default.
>>140789683
thanks, i think i'll do this, got a lot of free time at the moment so 20 cards a day should be fine.
>>140788373
why is this 'ganbaruzoi' rather than 'ganbaruzo'?

>>140789857
It's a question that has plagued Japanese scholars for millennia. This image was originally found on a solid sheet of titanium 50 feet tall, written in a language that hadn't even been invented yet.
Unfortunately, it seems we will never understand what the ancient civilization that created such an object meant by "zoi". Today, the image has been faithfully recreated online from highly detailed scans of the tablet's surface, and is usually posted simply to illicit confusion.
Truly, Japanese is the most complex of languages.
>>140789964
slow day huh
so how does everyone grind out words with core2k? do they take notes of the words and examples given or do they just repeatedly view the cards until it sinks in?
>>140790134
Yeah sure I write it down like 10 times my review sessions only take about 3-4 hours to complete
>>140790192
i mean for the learning part not the review part
>>140790134
Independent of the core2k deck you should be learning Kanji. It gets much easier to learn and recognize vocab when you understand the Kanji that comprise it independently.
>>140790334
That's not true you don't even need kanjis and hiragana just learn the vocabs
>>140790422
You don't need them but knowing the kana and kanji make recollection much quicker and easier.
>>140790438
That's just not true I know all the vocab and don't know a single kanji. Go jerk off to your RTK...
>>140790334
so do you think i should just be attempting to absorb both the information in core2k while independently learning kanji until it gets easier?
>>140790474
No, kanji is literally useless just like the kana make sure to learn vocab and mimic the sounds and you will just guess the kanjis by their shape.
>>140790470
You would have memorized your vocab more quickly and be able to more quickly assimilate new vocab if you understood Kanji.
>>140790474
The initial cards in core2k are pretty easy. Just work on both at your own pace and they'll reinforce each other.

What settings for new interval do you use? 0%? I got new interval 40% but I'm not sure if changing it would be good since the reviews would increase a lot. That being said with an interval mod. of 100% this should be ok right?
Any thoughts?

Man I'm so sick of anki, it has its benefits because you get to see words way more often and I appreciate that it exists, but I feel like it could be done so much better somehow
Seeing vocab out of context just seems so pointless, context is such a huge component of any language, especially Japanese, and just going through hundreds of cards with one word on the front just doesn't seem like the best way to go about doing things
It just seems like an unrealistic approach to learning vocab, it's hardly relevant to being exposed to the actual language and just ends up making me feel like I know less than I actually do
>>140791695
What does it change?
>>140791772
Read the anki guide
>>140791788
Can't be bothered to do that lol
>>140791755
The core2k deck includes examples of the word being used in context with every card. Ideally you'd be learning by reading books (or games or whatever) that's proven to have the best retention. But anki works nicely as a supplement I think.
>>140791856
Those examples are on the back though, the front is still just the word
The problem I find is there are just so many times where I'll see a word on the front of an anki card and struggle really hard with it, often getting it wrong, but if I were to see that same word in context it would pop into my head without batting an eye
>>140791893
I guess, being able to recall a word without being prompted by context is a good skill to have though. Even if you're iffy about picking the word 100% of the time from the front of a card you should be able to recognise it when you're reading something.
>>140791893
Sounds like you really need to start assosciating kanji with the readings that go with them. I guess you're also using someone else's deck instead of mining your own. You'll have a much better time with anki if you use it to retain knowledge, not to introduce new knowledge
>>140792051
No, Kanji are not connected to vocab in any way they are separate things and you don't need Kanji.
>>140791893
This is how my anki looks.
Maybe choose a different deck or change yours?
>>140792077
Yes all you need is Romanjis
>>140791920
I do have a really hard time with understanding shit outside of context in general, like if I start reading something in the middle of a conversation I'll have no idea what's going on, I guess it's more of a me problem
>>140792051
I have spent a couple of months doing a jouyou kanji deck to completion before but I'm still pretty bad at remembering onyomi, and nah I've been mining all my vocab for years
>>140792090
If you do that you start associating the sentence with the answer though instead of just the word
my akebi app just stopped working for no reason
is there a better option out there?
>>140792196
>I have spent a couple of months doing a jouyou kanji deck to completion before but I'm still pretty bad at remembering onyomi
I didn't mean that you should do a seperate deck for readings, I meant that when you learn a word like 禁忌 you need to realize that you just learned 2 onyomi aswell and you need to capitalize on that.
You will also notice connections between certain radicals and readings which will make vocabulary even easier to remember.
For example 忌 キ 記 キ 起 キ
>>140792196
>>140792196
I only read the sentence when I'm not sure about the context.
Reading it always would take too much time.
>>140792382
禁忌
近畿
キンキ（魚：煮付けにする。スシにはつかわない）
So I have to learn the onyomi and kunyomi?
>>140792527
You don't have to learn anything. But knowing all the readings of a Kanji is helpful.
For some reason my mining deck got 0 reviews today, only new cards. Anyone know why?

>The important thing to remember is the order of conjugation. The verb is first conjugated to the causative and then passive, never the other way around.
How much vocabulary should I know before I start reading? Or should I literally just pick up a book and define word by word?
My family just found out I'm learning Japanese.
>>140795300
I would go through core2k at least, or maybe an elementary course like Genki.
The most common 1000 or 2000 words would probably make up half of all the words in a text.
>>140795300
About 8-10k words, don't start before that.

This is honestly what I'm most afraid of, cliques and shit. Not because I'm afraid of muh cyberbully muh harrassment, but that my releases would go unnoticed, or if a bigger team picks it up, it was all pointless.
Also, I don't know shit about photoshop, but I guess that's the least of my concerns
>>140799165
I've never done it, but I imagine scanlating is about 10% translating and 90% Photoshop.
>>140799165
Typesetting is easy
Make a second layer, draw white over the original text
Adult the white level of the original image so that it's seamless with the white you drew on the second layer
Use a recent version of photoshop and add text with the text tool, you can use an arbitrary shape like a circle or ellipse
But no I wasn't joking or describing a fear when I said "step on as many peoples' toes as possible". It's actually something you have to go out and intentionally do. Otherwise nobody will notice your releases.
>>140799165
>my releases would go unnoticed, or if a bigger team picks it up, it was all pointless.
This happens all the time. And if you stop, no one will care and another group will pick it up like you never existed. Do it if you enjoy it but don't expect to get anything out of it, not even thanks, or you'll just hate it.

What if I told you that kanji is just random Chinese shit with no meaning?
Yo guys, so I have around a year of experience on and off learning japanese, and I decided to scanlate a doujin. For the most part I can understand what's going on, but there are times when I come across a page and have no idea what they're saying. I know the words, but I can't connect the words to a coherent meaning. Anyways, here's a page where I was utterly confused. Can I get some help on the errors I know I for sure made?

Why is Buddhist Temple one of the 2000 most common words?
>>140801382
Your ノリ is pretty shitty
>>140801412
Because it's a single kanji that pops up in other stuff
>>140801445
That's true, that kanji is used a lot.
But I thought core2k was based on word frequency, not kanji?

Why translate when you don't know Japanese? The top left for example is not a complicated sentence
>>140801412
This isn't a hard question anon.
Do you think Japan is full of mosques or something?
>>140801412
Why is church one of the X most common english words?
>>140801423
I can't understand this bastardization of Japanese, could you perhaps translate it into Japanese that's not straight from a VN page?
>>140801570

Oh. Comic books.
>>140801532
Funny, it's in the top 1000.

Because America is one of the most religious developed countries on Earth, unlike Japan?
>>140801639
Japan is secular, but that doesn't mean it doesn't care about religion, anon. It just so happens that shinto and buddhism are very easy to contort around a secular lifestyle, unlike the delusion-enforcing monotheisms common in the western world.
What does this mean 「なんだったんだ 」?
I think my brain has been damaged because of this sentence.

And Buddhism isn't delusion-enforcing? Wanna have a debate with me bro? I'll let you know I've won over 95% of them, just saying.

The fact that shinto-buddhism exists is self-explanatory.

And that just made everything even worse.

>>140801824
America is also secular if you didn't know. What about shinto-buddhism isn't delusion-enforcing? It's like that by definition. Wanna have a debate?
>>140801870
+1 win, arigatou gozaimasu.

Buddhism:
>be chill
>believe it or don't, don't blindly accept Dogma
>respect other living things and shit
>in return you get reincarnated as some cool shit
Abrahamic religions:
>convert everyone, pray every day, never accept questioning of the holy doctrine
>otherwise you'll suffer for all eternity
Hmm
>>140801904
>America is also secular if you didn't know.
I didn't say anything to the contrary, anon. Try reading what I actually write, and not what you think I'm trying to imply.
>>140801964
No man knows what god knows. Our priests, messiahs, and institutions are false prophets. If god had a message for me, he wouldn't test me with the words and thoughts of fellow men. He shall speak to me directly, through no angel, through no priest, and through no words; In fact, I do so believe that he has done so already, and that I, myself, am done.
>>140801964
Reincarnations are a delusion. Debate over.
It's better than abrahamic religions, but saying that it doesn't enforce delusions is delusional.
>>140801970
Okay, but you still wanna have a debate right? I've won two already so I think another win would be great.
>tfw Japanese is not mother tongue
wouldn't it'd be much easier you already knew Japanese then learn English?
>>140802102
>Okay, but you still wanna have a debate right? I've won two already so I think another win would be great.
Nah I just wanted to bring another possible perspective to something another anon said
Carry on my good fellow

Okay, if you wanna have a debate in the future on atheism of anything of that nature just write some stupid shit here and I will contact you shortly.

I'll just say 4 English letters - l m a o
>>140802102
I'll debate you in japanese, otherwise it's just shitposting.
>>140802104
Have you ever heard a Japanese person speaking English? They have one of the worst accents. It is way down there with Indian and British.
>>140802203
No that's just thinking the grass is greener on the other side. English is a much more desirable language than Japanese.
>>140802339
In the same vein english speakers sound pretty retarded speaking in japanese.
>>140802102
>Reincarnations are a delusion. Debate over.
Yeah, that is true, however...
>It's better than abrahamic religions, but saying that it doesn't enforce delusions is delusional.
It does NOT enforce delusions. Key word: enforce.

That's probably the stupidest shit I've heard today you get a ゴールドメダル.

Buddhism (and Shinto) are actually pretty chill religions.
>>140802495
Pretty chill and killing babies for the possibility of a better reincarnation isn't the same in my book lmao
Daily religion thread come get your weekly worshiping in
>>140802339
I meant from learning and memorizing 2000+ kanji from the day you were first taught then transitioning in learning the english language, from complex to simple(-er?) in a way.
Anyways, I wouldn't even bother learning english if I already knew japanese.
>>140801412
to give you a serious anwser instead of shiposting about religion: Monks.
Just like in the west, nip monks were scholars, healers, etc. aswell. They bread animals, translated, copied texts, they teached, so obviously this left it's mark in the language itself. Sometimes in funny ways, for example, the kanji for Hemmoroids, is 痔. It has two radicals, sickness, and buddhist temple. Get it?Monks sat a lot. Their ass got hurt.
>>140802668
English is probably harder for Japanese, than Japanese is for English. Only 26 letters, but every word is an exception and pronunciation is basically lawless.

What's the Buddhist equivalent of allahu ackbar/ deus vult?

>>140802679

Originally used to praise the emperor, both in china and japan. Emperors are the descendants of the gods, heavenly mandate, etc. It's the closest I can think desu

Another is かつ, which is shouted by monks when they are reaching some form of enlgithment . If you're really intrested, look up fighthing sects, like the Ikko.
>>140803086
Not here. Go to >>140794381 if you want a thread for your shit-tier waifu.
>>140801412
Yeah, really surprising the main place of worship for one of the two major religions the Japanese have would pop up often in their language.

How about no? I don't want to contract autism.
>>140803387
You're both on /a/ and DJT right now. It is far too late to avoid contracting autism. Especially with how massively autistic the Sakura autist is.
>>140803318
>>140803179
>>140803104
>>140803451
I'm not on /a/, this is DJT, not /a/. DJT is a haven created to halt the spread of autism to Japanese language learners.
I don't show any symptoms yet so I'm sure I haven't contracted the disease yet.
>>140803546
Judging by your posts it's pretty clear you've already contracted it, sorry. Also if you look at the URL and the top of the page you will indeed find that you ARE on /a/ right now.
