とする has a lot of uses. If you post the sentence you saw it would be easier to help you.
>>142886082
Well I mostly encounter it as "to decide to do something", it shows that someone has made the decision that they want to do a verb but haven't yet done it, or are just about to do it
Most of the time I see it in the context of "just as he decided to stick his dick in the hole, a knife came out and stabbed in the urethra", that sort of shit
It has other uses though that's just the one I think is most common

volitional+とする means "to try" or "is about to"
What are the differences between により、によって、による? I can't get my head around it
>>142886327
This と is used as a noun phrase maker and modifying した.
した is "did" but used as a noun modifier modifying 動き here.
>>142886446
They're basically the same thing.
>>142886446
What is the actual usage?
Off the top of my head, より and よって mean same but よる is modifying a noun.

He doesn't automatically count all inflections and conjugations, only ones he actually manually memorizes, so it's not as bad as it seems (though it's still bad)
>>142886554
So 10 conjugations of 食べる counts as 10 words?
That means he knows about 2500 words which is the average for polyglot swindlers who can say いい天気だね in 20 languages.

Based on the fact that he used kanji for something that's never written in kanji, he probably did only learn it from anki.

The simplicity of the grammar is what makes reading the language difficult.
Complex grammar is a godsend when you start reading and need to figure out the meaning of the sentence.

>>142891308
Oh you motherfucker. I see this problem transfers to English as well if you don't use enough words to clarify.
Does anyone have an opinion on wanikani.com?
>>142891346
Maybe you are mistaking Hungary for some other country. See the map in link.

>>142891420
Irrelevant.
>>142891517
Hungarians came to Europe from the far east, and the Hungarian language pretty much has zero connection to other European languages.
>>142891512
The consensus here is that it's really bad. Might as well use anki it's better and free
>>142891378
I don't think so, and I'm not fluent.
If I had to say what SEEMS to be the hardest thing about it is that people can't try to think in their language's equivalents, japanese words and particles in general have a very distinct meaning but that's probably unlike anything in YOUR language.
When you start trying not to think what it means in your language, but "thinking" in japanese, everything makes much more sense.

>>142891648
Finno-Ugric connection is a complete lie fabricated to destroy our true ancestry. The origin of Hungarians is much further to the east, as we are descendants of Japanese explorers coming to the Asian mainland. This is also the reason why it's so easy for Hungarians to learn Japanese, as we are simply remembering what we already knew once thousands of years ago.
is the scratching the doorknob meme still alive or dead
>>142891581
Tbh I think wanikani is not actually that awful, but four things hold it back.
1. Too slow. You cannot dictate your own pace.
2. Free resources are better. If you want to do a radical-mnemonic method then koohii is superior due to the community stories for basically every kanji. If you want to learn vocab you are better off mining it. If you want an SRS Anki is better than theirs.
3. Hard to transition. When you finish all wanikani has to offer, you are left without a solid path to go down.
4. Costs money. I suppose this is superfluous since it is worse than free alternatives anyway, but it is not free, unlike anki & friends.
All of this said, while it is an inferior resource in almost every way, you could do a lot worse. It is not comparable to something like Rosetta Stone, for example.

What is it supposed to be? Some steps seem like the shit all agglutinative languagese.g. Japanesedo (like the longest words on the very right), but some transitions like 'to visit' into 'to use' can't possibly be because of some grammar rule. Seems more like maybe they are the etymological roots or something? If that is the case then you can make similar graphs in every agglutinative language.

Yep. Maybe they have a common root, but as far as I know they just sound a bit similar.
When you've got a deck which has two card types but only one note type, is there any way to delete just one of the card types?
When I sort the deck to show only card type A, then select all those cards and delete them, it also deletes all the type B cards for some stupid reason.
>>142892918
It’s cinnibar.
>>142892999
I'm not good at color names, I don't even know what cinnibar is in my native language.

You could try the suspend method then that another anon suggested.
I checked out that reddit "V2K" deck. Seems not too bad, except:
1. No example sentences. One could argue this is not a big deal but I think it is important for newbies to have some context for the words since they likely will not be doing any actual reading yet and will otherwise have nothing to connect the words to actual usage.
2. The card format has furigana on the front which makes it pretty pointless. That can easily be changed though.
I think the ideal newbie deck would just be a proper reordering of Core to not be shit.
>>142893638
>furigana on front

Some of the note must use only this specific note type. I'm not sure how you should go about hunting them down.
Google knows.
>>142893781
I doubt it.
>>142893786
I know which ones they are, but there are something like 600 of them and they're scattered throughout the deck, so manually deleting them all is out of the question.

Leave them and delete one at the time as you encounter them.
If they all have one field empty (shouldn't it be the reason they don't have the other card type?), or one field with the same annotation or something like this (how do you know which ones they are?) you could try filtering only them in browser and deleting.
Move all the cards of the type you don't won't into another deck. This won't delete or move the whole note, and if Kanji Grid can be limited to only one deck then your problem would be solved, but you would be forever left with one additional deck.

It's the opposite, unfortunately. The ones which I need to delete don't have a counterpart of the other card type because the other card type would have an empty field for the front side of the card.

I've been doing the KanjiDamage anki deck for a few months and I'm 1500 cards in but I'm starting to feel like I'm getting a lot more benefit from vocab decks instead recently. Do you guys think it would be a waste to drop the KD deck at this point or should I just push through?
>>142894690
Don't you only have like 200 cards left?
>>142894635
Irrelevant to both anime and Japanese learning. Reported.
>>142894690
I'm pretty sure KanjiDamage only teaches 1700 kanji so it would be pretty dumb to drop it at 1500. Assuming you're doing 20 cards a day, you have less than 3 weeks left until you finish it.

You're either so advanced that you don't remember how much of a pain it was to get to your level or you're a beginner.
>>142895026
Since 3500 / 2 = 1750, I'm going to go ahead and guess this means the deck has both recognition and production cards and that you've been doing both types when you should've actually suspended/deleted one or the other.
Is Japan behind the rest of the world in torrents? Newly released books over here pretty much instantly have epubs up everywhere, yet I can't find things that are already a year or older on nyaa, or if I find them they're only there as screenshots of the pages (lol).
Is nyaa the largest tracker they use, or something else sekrit?

>>142895225
This may be dumb to ask but what do you mean by recognition and production cards?
>>142895246
They have a big P2P network called Share. Nyaa is only for anime-related stuff, and most of those things come first in Share anyway.
What does this say?
>>142895347
Recognition = see a kanji and recognise what it is (kanji -> meaning)
Production = see the meaning of a kanji and produce said kanji from memory (meaning -> kanji)
I'm pretty sure when you're doing KD or RTK, you're supposed to only do one method or the other. Heisig tells people in RTK to go the production route for reviewing kanji.
>>142895321
Yes, individual grammar points are simple to read about and understand. Now try actually reading native material.
>>142895343
Then what was difficult? You can look up any word or kanji by yourself. If you're having difficulty understanding the meaning of a sentence you have no choice but to find a Japanese person or someone who's at a higher level than you.
>>142895301
>>142895361

What's the difference between Share and Perfect Dark?

And you're trying to tell me you don't constantly encounter ambiguity? Hard to believe your story. I've been studying for years and still encounter ambiguity that needs clarification from Japanese friends.

>learn two-kanji word word XY
>half a year later learn XZ
>continue to mix up XY and XZ for weeks
>half a year later learn VY and ZY
>now mix up all four words for while
If you learn kanji as part of vocab, you will always associate the kanji with the words where you first saw them.

Combination of harsh anti-piracy laws and Japs being technological illiterates who still use shitty Limewire-tier software.

Too cute.

Yes I do find them, sometimes I don't know if the head noun of a relative is the result, the agent, the subject, object etc...
Sometimes the grammar is weird and with slang it gets messy.
Generally the end of a clause is a verb which modifies a noun.
Also は fucks me up
Could you give me an example anyway?
Okay, I found a working download for my VN. Here's hoping that it works and isn't full of malware.
>>142895656
You should also hope that it's in Japanese, and not a pre-applied chinese fan translation.

>Then what was difficult?
Listening, reading handwriting, speaking
Reading isn't really "difficult" per say it just takes tons of time and effort and practice.
>If you're having difficulty understanding the meaning of a sentence you have no choice but to find a Japanese person or someone who's at a higher level than you.
Or just skip it or whatever. After a year or so of reading you can usually figure out pretty much everything but you still have a while to go with vocab.
What is ていう doing here? something to do with という？
>>142895764
Pretty much the same, it means quotation.
>>142895575
I wouldn't call ambiguity the result of the grammar being difficult. "It went there and did that thing" is a very ambiguous sentence with simple grammar.
>>142895764
>What's the king's game?
>It's: The one who can do the most King-like behaviour wins"
>>142895811
That's not ambiguous at all, it just lacks details.
For example in Japanese the sentence would lack the ' I ' part, so you would have to tell from context who actually did that. That's ambiguous.
>>142895764
Forgot to add this:
っていう=ということ in some instances
>>142895764
って is slang for と
>when your mature cards surpass your young
>>142895654
>Could you give me an example anyway?
Of an ambiguous sentence? I don't save them or anything. I get clarification and move on.
This is really the only example I remember.
>僕にとってのイコールなのだ
>most of the downloads failed
>pop-up with woman's voice says my computer has been infected with viruses (probably bullshit but I got out of there anyway and am cleaning my computer)
>no VN for you
Fine I'll buy it like god damn. Fuck me for getting into a series late and having all the legit links be dead.
>>142895443
Thanks. Ya that's basically what I've been doing. I feel pretty bad now considering that means I've wasted a ton of time and effort.
Should I just delete the other half of the cards from what's left and go from there?
>>142895656
Run it in a VM
If that fails, run it in Sandboxie
If that fails, make a snap decision as to whether or not your PC is worth the risk
My goal is to get to a level where I can read Fate CCC before the anime comes out next year
Can I do it boys. 2 months in already
>>142895874
>For example in Japanese the sentence would lack the ' I ' part, so you would have to tell from context who actually did that. That's ambiguous.
No that's just lacking details.

The thing that to me is equal
Because to me it is equal
?
>>142896070
I am sorry to tell you this, but no.
It takes a lot more time.
Don't give up anyway, the anime is not Extra CCC, it's a different universe
>>142896103
To me
Senjougahara's voice = faint "wakarimasen" when called on by teacher
>>142896103
No shit, but how do you translate the entire sentence?
>>142896031
>Should I just delete the other half of the cards from what's left and go from there?
Don't delete them in case you change your mind about which type you want to use, but suspending them seems like a good idea.
>>142896023
That sentence isn't really ambiguous, just long and complex. I had to reread it before getting it, but I can't think of any other way to interpret it.
>>142896023
Seems a bit like he's using イコール to mean "equal" as in "he's my equal", rather than as an adjective?
>>142896141
Don't tell me what I can and can't do!
>>142896246
Great, thanks again. I always thought it was weird that the deck was made like that. I guess I know from now on and at least now I only have another 1k instead of 2k.
>>142896024
>pop-up with woman's voice says my computer has been infected with viruses
計画通りよ
>>142896279
You're right, but it's just a strange sentence. You wouldn't really encounter such a comparison in English so it's hard to understand why the author would write something like that. The second guessing yourself comes in and then you try to find another meaning for it.
>>142895764
Yes.
勝ち - winning
って - quotation mark
いう - say
って is often used instead of と in colloquial speak
>>142896305
He's using to mean "equality" as in "A and B are an equality" -> A equals B
