Yeah I have a military base in my house and my mom makes food for us she makes some cool 弁当 when we need to go on a long mission. Uh actually can you mask the parcel so that it's not explicitly showing any anime?

whats the difference between saying 友達にある and 友達である
洗剤を減らし過ぎると洗い上がりが良くなかったり、入れ過ぎると洗剤が残っていたりします
Why is 上がり put infront of 良くなかったり, i see that it can mean "crop yield" but I dont think this is what they are saying?
So with all of the guys in these threads shitting constantly on manga/anime/VN/LN/doujin/etc, are you big literature fans looking to read Japanese classics? What are some of your favorites?
>>141287472
>whats the difference between saying 友達にある and 友達である
I dunno why don't you tell me
>>141287496
Because it is used here as the あがり form of the たり adverbial negative noun suffix.
>>141287545
There's one person doing most of the shitposts about it that just wants to destroy the thread or something and then there's this guy >>141287472 who just shitposts constantly with unclear intentions.
>>141287496
あらいあがり is one word like できあがり but with 洗い
>>141287677
No.
One of the reasons I love Japanese is that it can be written vertically and horizontally. Languages like English are so awkward when they have to be written on the spines of books. The Japanese books on my shelf look so much better than my English ones.
>>141287545
Yes I am indeed a literature fan. My favorite piece of art is オレのラブコメヒロインは、パンツがはけない。It's a true Japanese classic.

>>141288040
It looks bad and is hard to read. Have you ever read manga where the typesetter ran out of room and did that? It hurts the eyes.
>>141287349
That's fine is ease is all you give a shit about. Something being fairly easy to read doesn't mean it's also going to be good enough to make you want to struggle through it.
What we should have is a list of VNs which are not only fairly easy to read, but reasonably good as well.
>>141288271
There's a SEX in it though, and it's also got nameless protagonists so i can self-insert for the kinky stuff.
>>141286591
Monobeno's interesting because most of it is actually really really easy and fine as a beginner moege. But there are some parts with very strong accents and obscure Shinto references which get extremely difficult. So it's actually fine on this list if you just stick to the easy parts.
>>141288377
>That's fine is ease is all you give a shit about. Something being fairly easy to read doesn't mean it's also going to be good enough to make you want to struggle through it.
What the fuck? I'm literally telling you to read things that you find interesting. How the fuck do you think playing Flyable Heart because it's the first in the list is going to be more likely to make you want to struggle through it?
>>141287873
On that topic, why is it that Latin characters are so much harder to read when vertically arranged? It's actually easier to read rotated words than vertically arranged ones.

Not anime = not real literature that's the rule we follow here you can jerk off to your fake books all you want but that won't make them literature just saying mate...
>>141288538
>>141288473
It's because latin characters have a vertical aspect ratio and they're constructed in a way that puts more shape information along the vertical axis than the horizontal one
there are only a few characters that have more horizontal information than vertical, like m and w
Meanwhile CJK characters are squarish and very balanced

Yeah you look at those and you find something that looks interesting. Obviously that advice is just symbolic and there's no need for it to be "April 2016". The point is that pretty much any moege is going to be relatively easy so you can just pick something that looks like you would like it.
Like fine if you want, here's your easy VN list:
https://vndb.org/p2015
https://vndb.org/p98
https://vndb.org/p386
https://vndb.org/p129
https://vndb.org/p371
>>141288473
I found this
>The Chinese, Japanese and Korean scripts can be oriented in either direction, as they consist mainly of disconnected syllabic units and/or ideographic units, each occupying a square block of space, thus allowing for flexibility for which direction texts can be written
Latin characters don't have as much information per unit. Since you need to smoothly read from letter to letter in order to even make a sound it's awkward when it's vertical.
Maybe it's also because we're not used to it. We didn't learn to read vertically in school so it's weird to read it now.
Honestly I'm not positive why.
>>141288713
That's not VN that's a list of companies you fucking retard.

>>141286591
>Why don't we have a proper easy VN list?
Because this is /a/ and not /jp/.
Appropriate board for Appropriate content, anon.
The Reading List exists for personal reviews and potential suggestions which can be used for an individual to fashion a list from. More people who commit to adding to it in earnest, the more useful it becomes for such things. What's more, it isn't technically on /a/ so you can even add reviews/suggestions/recommendations with insightful and useful comments without being remotely off topic, as it is off site in and of itself.
Why not take advantage and continue to build up a resource we already have? Seems easier than trying to reinvent the wheel. That's my opinion on the subject, anyway.

And this is /a/ not /lang/, yet here this thread is.
>The Reading List
All the VNs on the reading list are rated upper intermediate to expert in difficulty. The only exception is the ones in pic related which seem to have been copy-pasted from someone's post and have a question mark next to the difficulty rating suggesting that the person who added them hasn't read them and doesn't know for sure how hard they are.
I'm really frustrated right now at how much I'm getting wrong in Anki lately. I'm getting over half my cards wrong. How can I get better at Anki when I'm starting to fail really hard at it?
>>141289176
>And this is /a/ not /lang/, yet here this thread is.
Ergo don't fucking push it.
>All the VNs on the reading list are rated upper intermediate to expert in difficulty.
So do something about that, anon. Magnets, how do they work?
>>141289229
If you can't identify/distinguish the kanji, do RTK.
>>141289229
>I'm getting over half my cards wrong.
It's a bad sign if you're forgetting more than what you're remembering.
The first thing that comes to mind whenever someone mentions bad retention in Anki is that they've set the new cards/day number way too high. How many new cards are you doing a day?

I lack the ability to do that. Why do you think I'm interested in a list of easy reading material?
>>141289313
They are not your fucking readings, the kanji were created by Japanese people.
>>141289304
Today it gave me 100 new cards. This is obviously too much for me looking back.
>>141289342
>Why do you think I'm interested in a list of easy reading material?
Rec threads don't belong on /a/, fucktard. Use a search engine.
>>141289313
I use mnemonics for the readings too. Japanese has so few sounds that you can easily build up a set of stock mnemonics for every possible reading, after which imagining a mnemonic image for each word takes like 10 seconds.
>>141289346
Yeah, 100 is way too much. It might be doable if you know all the kanji being used, but otherwise it's not a good idea. Don't do any new cards for a few days until your retention rate improves to at least 75%. After that, start adding new cards again at the default pace of 20 cards a day.

So fucking do it, moron.
Don't expect others to do it for you. We aren't here to spoonfeed retards who can't use their fucking brain. Either add to the compendium of insightful commentary that can be helpful for your desired list from experience, or use a fucking search engine to read from the thousands of user reviews of various "entry level" VNs, read some of them, then write up an entry that you think adds value to the current reading list.
It's not fucking rocket science. If you want something done, do it yourself.

アノンくんは
あの約束、まだ覚えてる？
わたし、いまでもアノンくんが好き
いまでもっていうより
ずーっと好きだった
アノンくんのことを考えなかった日は一つもない
実はさ
とっても恥ずかしいことを考えて
あっ、これ、内緒よ？
アノンくんのことを考えながらここで言えないようなことをする日もあった
内緒だからね！
だからね
いまさら告白しても遅いとわかってるけど
アノンくんが幸せならわたしも幸せ
あの娘、大事にしてね
JCAT result comparison, exactly 6 month interval (just finished the second one).
>>141295162
memorized hiragana after 3 days. damn i suck at self-motivation.
>>141295476
if you give up i'm sure that'll make you special
do you guys actually use an unmodified core 2k/6k deck?
and you straight up learn new vocab by first learning the kanji? even with combo kanji that uses onyomi's?
>>141295849
Learned Japanese in just 2 years by going through 6k twice, first time just remembering the meanings with characters in the front and the second time remembering the pronunciation
take your carbon fiber strong チンコ and ram it
into my 尻 like a vibro hammer!
>>141295881
you memorized six thousand pieces of information without ever knowing how to pronounce any of them?
Please tell me you at least looked at the root meanings of individual kanji to figure out their combo's meanings.
And somehow this let you learn japanese in two years?
(and what does "learning japanese" mean to you? are you fluent?)
>>141296010
Yes, after that I moved to Japan and after a few months I got a job as political commentator on international issues
>>141296045
im going to assume you're not trolling and label you as an inspiration. Wish me luck, senpai.

>>141296045
so you went to japan before getting a job there?
how could you afford living in japan for months without a job? how did you eventually get a job
>>141295890
what's a chinko
>>141296244
rent in japan is actually realy fuckin cheap in alot of places
>>141296267
how is your job?
is having a job in a japanese company as shitty as people say?
>>141296267
yeah i heard that, cheaper than here in aus if you're fine with basic dwelling
>>141296045
Cool could you tell me what you think of my japanese here >>141295041 I spent 50 hours writing that
> learn some kanji and vocab
> trying to detach myself from anki as early as possible
> maybe I'll start reading some stuff
> hey, this yotsuba thing looks simple enough
> can't even read yotsuba, a manga literally aimed at elementary school children
Sometimes I wonder why I haven't necked myself yet. This language will always feel like a foreign puzzly mess for me.

>>141296529
how far into anki are you?
>>141296584
I don't use anki, I don't know how it works and everyone here trolls me, I hate it and Japanese isn't even useful anyway. I give up.
>>141296364
im not the japanese job haver i dont live in that shit hole anymore thank god
>>141296447
unfortunately its really long and boring and i dont give a shit lol could you reformat to the size of a tweet
>>141296529
yotsuba isnt a good babys 1st nihongo book trust me ive seen enough boys lamenting their existence while crying on the pages they cant read to know
try something like the pic here >>141286662
>>141296636
its better to quit if you arent absolutely sure learning japanese is what you want more than anything
>>141296704
>ive seen enough boys lamenting their existence while crying on the pages they cant read to know
im one of those boys, even on the first pages
other things might be easier, but yotsuba is an amusing idiot with ridiculous balance so its more motivating to read
>>141296704
are you chinese? do you know chinese?
>>141296704
I finished all volumes of yotsubato before reaching 1000 words seen in core2k. I am tempted to call those who can't read it after 2k retarded, but perhaps my IQ (over 130) puts me at an advantageous position.

新しい単語教えて
>>141296584
About 400 cards into kanjidamage deck
I can't even do vocab or grammar because I feel like I still don't know enough kanji to be able to learn shit.
>>141297466
its taboo to say here, but I strongly recommend not learning kanji until you've gotten quite a bit of experience under your belt.
You can change your anki deck settings to give you the furigana for your anki words. I think this'll help push you forward a lot faster.
I know at least 2k word's pronunciation, and now that I'm going back to learn kanji - it's a breeze now.
I recommend going through all of tae kim's before trying to tackle manga. And if you have a friend who know's japanese, ask them for help. At first you'll probably need some help to get past slang/other bullshit.
>>141296529
I finally finished Yotsubato just the other day and I was optimistic about moving on to other things, I moved on to Hunter x Hunter thinking I had an okay grasp of the language, but now I just don't know anymore, man.
It's a struggle.

>>141297338
だったらどうする 没有什么区别だろ
>>141297353
its not like the vocab is hard its just when the text book is all you know on how to talk and then you see people talking not like the text book what exactly are you supposed to do? some people find a way to get more information and more exposure and figure it out or whatever and others are just fucked
>>141297452

>>141297567
i pretty much agree you dont need kanji to have functioning japanese at first youre actually much stronger if you learn how to communicate basic needs concepts and questions and then learn kanji as it they come later as you build on your baby shit
>>141297590
I gave up on hunter x hunter. Too many proper nouns make it really difficult to handle.
>>141297353
>I finished all volumes of yotsubato before reaching 1000 words seen in core2k
you have to read the words anon not just look at the pictures
DJT alignment chart, v1. I was considering giving Chaotic Neutral to radical freedom guy because it certainly fits the ideology and I have a soft spot for him, but ended up deciding on Namasensei thanks to legacy and it fitting a little better.
>>141297619
You couldn't just say at the start that you already know chinese?
I'm sick of hearing all these "learning japanese is /so/ easy" stories only to find out the fucker already learned the hardest part of the language.
>>141297716
>no FREEDOM
>>141297716
Move nama to chaotic good, imouto to neutral good, finny to lawful neutral, and drop whoever the faggot under lawful neutral is
>>141297716
i inspired you with the chaotic good thing huh
well thats cool i love more meta shit it helps distract everyone from the true goal
>>141297730
i never said learning japanese is so easy dude if it was id be able to tell people who just read tae kim and did a couple flashcards how to understand yotsubato or how to deal with made up fantasy words
>>141297716
>imouto
>chaotic good
if that means hiragana and stuffing your face then its on the money
Wow, these threads have really evolved since the last time I checked them ~3 years ago. I actually, finally, feel like I could learn Japanese using the resources in the OP in conjunction with my Japanese book.I kept starting and stopping, having nobody to practice with and then forgetting all the basics over and over
Thanks to all the anons who've contributed to these resources.
>>141297815
trying to use idioms isn't going to dissuade him from comprehending your post anon
>>141297815
to be fair i already called chaotic good originally so im pretty upset he couldnt even do me a solid on that after i gave him the idea
>>141297812
>>141297905
Wow, I didn't even see that post (consciously). I probably skimmed over it and it subconsciously got the idea to throw this together from it.
>>141297786
Lawful neutral is Tae Kim. Who would fill the chaotic neutral void?
>>141297959
>Lawful neutral is Tae Kim
He's not very "lawful" though. He shitposts on his blog all the time. He would go under "neutral good" or something.
>who would fill the void
Use your imagination.
>>141295162
Thats sick dude
I had similar progress ill post when i get home
>>141298014
Not bad suggestions, I think this is better. Sorry to Jamal for cucking you out of chaotic good.
>>141298192
im just completely throwing a fit over here with 湯気 shooting out of my 耳s
beecock
>>141298192
jamal's in neutral evil tho
>>141298276
Here are some possible adjectives describing neutral evil characters: unfeeling, uncaring, insensitive, unkind, uncooperative (unless it suits them), self-reliant, wicked, cruel, depraved, corrupt, immoral, hateful, vicious, and destructive.
this is just freaking wrong and not true about me
>>141298316
do you wanna swap places with radical freedom guy
>>141298329
Here are some possible adjectives describing chaotic neutral characters: unreliable, independent, greedy, inconsistent, unpredictable, selfish, disorderly, anarchic, self-centered, confusing, unfettered, free, and individualistic.
i mean everything i do i do for my djt boys so i dont even care but some of that makes sense for my 設定 i guess
So why is it 原因のX and not Xの原因?
>>141298316
"Evil" is a bit of a stretch for anyone here but sakura; you have to make allowances for these sort of charts because there are only so many slots. Like >>141298329 said you probably would fit better in chaotic neutral but I think radical freedom guy deserves it more.
>>141298426
post examples
>>141298426
There are nearly 20x as many hits for Xの原因 on Google, man.
>>141298426
原因のX
cause's X
the X of cause
Xの原因
X's cause
the cause of X

>保健所はこのおにぎりが原因の集団食中毒と断定しました
>>141298549
probably being used as a の-adjective there, like "original poisoning" or "initial poisoning"
real context would help
>>141298426
ill answer if you can answer >>141287472 for me
>>141298442
but i gave you the idea there would be no chart without me this is 完全 bullshit!!!!!

日本人なの？
So there's a guy saying
>母さんからよくメールきてて
Context is that his mother is already dead. So would that imply that, ignoring the literal meaning, it means 'I looked at an [old] e-mail from Mother.'?

where do you see "looked"
>>141298885
i think youd have to work "looking" somewhere in there as opposed to "looked" right
>>141299838
look as in thumbing through or just generally looking at thats what it is dude きてて
>>141299875
I think you need to learn japanese
>>141300126
theres nothing wrong here though thats why youre flaming
>>141298885
>>141299875
Tbh I'm new here but I'd go with something like "so I'm getting emails from mother often". The literal meaning is probably different but yeah. The kitete part is kite(come) plus some extra shit don't know what to call it but point is that it makes it a sentence fragment I guess.
>>141300247
Looking at it again I guess could be past tense not sure now...

you're right, awful translations are the norm

I'm guessing this かん kanji means stove or some shit but I can't find it anywhere, the closest I can see is 燗
>>141300409
I'm glad you acknowledge it
>>141300507
http://jisho.org/search/燗 says its warm sake senpai
>>141300507
It wouldn't have to mean stove, would it?
It could just mean the gas used for 燗
>>141300507
燗酒 or whatever
>>141300571
rolling eyes i was using your words not my own opinion
stay in your lane dude
>>141284018
Learning Japanese is fucking depressing.
>>141300659
Yeah I guess that would make sense, doesn't seem to be anything else it could be
