Watching this now. Is blonde girl's kansai ben ridiculously exaggerated or do people actually speak like this? I've heard real Kansai people speak and they didn't sound like anything close to this so I'm wondering.
(1/2) 僕は部室を飛び出す。階段を飛ぶように下りる。そして走る。
僕は、駆ける。太宰治作『走れメロス』、その主人公メロスのように持てる力の全てを出し切り、走る、走る。友ではなく、ボロボロになった制服のためというのが哀しくてならない。
風を切る肩が寒い。裸だからだ。心が寒い。裸だからだ。懐が寒い。仕送りが少ないせいだ。僕の股間のモノが左右に揺れている。トランクスだからだ。ブリーフは嫌いだからだ。間違っても純白ブリーフ砂漠仕様への再染色技術継承者にはなりたくなかったからだ。
僕は、駆ける。走ることしか知らない、走ることだけが人生の全てであると妄信するマラソンランナーのように走る、走る。
走り出してすぐに感じた足の重さや呼吸の苦しさがなくなっていく。ランナーズハイだ。顔がにやけてくる、テンションが天井知らずに上がっていく。エンドルフィンの過剰分泌による陶酔状態だ。ドラッグ大好きな連中はどうかしている。ただ走ればこんなにいい気分になれるのに、お金と人生を無駄にしてなんと愚かなことか。自分はおろか家族まで不幸になる。僕は比較的不幸、ということは親父は中毒者なのか？ あながち否定できないが……何だか意識が遠のいていく気がする。もうすぐ神の領域に踏み込むからだ。体が軽い、ふわふわとしてくる。僕は神に等しき存在となるからだ。
>>144351350
(Fuck 2/3) 何故駆けるのか。そこに道があるからだ、走るのをやめる時、即ち僕が死ぬ時だ、何故なら僕は神に等しき存在であるとともに史上最高のアス……いや、違う。制服だ、制服を救うために走っているのだ。
目的を見失うな。足を止めるな。ここはどこだ。校舎の外だ。周りの視線が僕に釘付けだ。どうでもいい。制服だ、制服さえ救えれば世界がどうなろうと知ったことではない。むしろ滅べ。裏だ、校舎裏へ向かうのだヨー・サトウ、真のジャズマンよ。
僕は駆ける、駆ける。校舎裏まで駆けきった。目の前で灰色のツナギを着た校務員さんが生徒会の人間と思しき生徒に囲まれながら、捻りつぶした新聞紙に火をつける。
寸前で間に合った。焼却炉の中に僕の制服と思しきものが見えた。助かっ――
……が、その時、校務員さんは最高ににこやかな顔のまま、オリンピックの聖火台に点火するかのように火だねを焼却炉に放り込む。
「ぅおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおお!!」

(3/3) 僕は駆ける。ノンストップ・オン・ザ・僕。オンの使い方が間違っているとか気にしない。女子生徒が僕を見つけて悲鳴を上げた。あまりの僕の勇ましさに失禁でもしたのかもしれなかったが気にしない。
男子生徒、校務員さんが手を出してきた。あまりに逞しい僕の裸体に触れたかったのかもしれないが、今はそれどころじゃない。だが、必死の校務員さんが僕のトランクスを掴む。僕は止まらず駆ける。ビリリと音がしたが今はそれどころじゃない。どうでもいい。知ったことではない。むしろ滅べ。
――今ゆくぞ、我が制服よ。
靴下と靴だけという最高クラスのセクシャルハラスメント装備へと昇華した僕は、躊躇いなく火のつき始めた焼却炉へと頭から飛び込むのだった。

I leap out of my room. I descend the stairs as if I'm flying. And I run.
I'm dashing. Like the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's "Run, Melos!", I devote all of my strength to running, running. The fact that I'm doing this not for some dear friend, but because of my torn uniform is extremely disheartening.
The wind hitting my shoulders feels cold. Because I'm naked. My heart feels cold. Because I'm naked. My purse feels cold. Because my allowance is small. The thing between my legs is swinging left and right. Because I'm wearing trunks. Because I hate briefs. Because I don't want to be known as the man who discovered a miraculous way to turn snow white briefs into desert-pattern style briefs. (fuck this sentence)
I dash. Like a marathon runner who blindly believes running is all there could ever be to life, I run, and run.
The weight I felt on my feet and the difficulty I felt breathing disappear as soon as I start running. This is the "runner's high". My face turns red and my mood skyrockets. This is a state of intoxication caused by excess secretion of endorphins. Drug addicts must be fucking stupid. Why waste your money and your life on drugs when you can feel this good just by running? They spread their unhappiness to their families too. Could the reason for my relative unhappiness be that my father's an addict, too? I guess it's hard to deny that but... I feel like my consciousness is beginning to fade. I'm about to step into the realm of the gods. My body is light and feels like it's floating. I've turned into a being that may rival a god.

On the male/female forms of speaking: can I adopt a neuter way without sounding unnatural?
In my own language I have always avoided mannerisms.
I don't cuss or abbreviate like most men do, I don't use slangs nor anglicisms. I frequently conjugate verbs people don't, because they'd rather use auxiliary verbs.
Bear in mind I don't do anything pedantic or use obscure words, I manage to do it naturally.
And I'd like to do the same in Japanese as much as possible.
>>144351396
>>144351820
okay i changed my mind
Why do I run. Because there's a road there, the moment I stop running is the moment I die, because I am an existence that rivals god, the world's greatest athl... No, nevermind that. It's my uniform, I'm running in order to save my uniform.
Don't lose sight of your goal. Do not stop moving your legs. It's just outside the school building. Everyone's gazing at me. Whatever. My uniform, as long as I manage to save my uniform I could care less about what happens to this world. In fact, I wish it would fall into ruin. It's in the back, go to the back of the school building Satou, you true jazz man you. (I didn't get this reference)
I dash, and dash. I managed to reach the back of the school building. Before my eyes, a janitor wearing grey overalls is setting fire to crumpled up newspapers, surrounded by what appears to be members of the student council.
I made it just in time. I could make out what appeared to be my uniform inside the incinerator. I'm save--
But, just then, wearing a great big smile on his face, the janitor threw some live coal into the incinerator, as if about to light the holy fire at the Olympics.

I just got a new laptop and set up all my programs on it, but I can't get the kanji stroke order font to work on anki. I unzipped it and installed the font, but it doesn't show up in anki. I remember having a similar problem a couple years back but I can't remember how I fixed it. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure it's something simple and stupid.
>>144351429
I dash. Nonstop on the Me. I don't care that I used "on" incorrectly. A female student saw me and screamed. She might have wet herself witnessing my heroism, but I had no time to worry about that.
A male student and the janitor tried to grab hold of me. Maybe they just wanted to touch my manly naked body, but there was no time for that. Still, the desperate janitor grabbed hold of my trunks. I keep running, unabashed. A ripping sound could be heard, but there was no time to worry about that. Whatever. I don't care. In fact, I wish it would fall into ruin.
--I'm coming, dear uniform.
Having ascended into wearing nothing but shoes and socks, a getup only fitting for the most devout sexual deviants, I jump headfirst into the now ablaze incinerator with nary a moment's hesitation.

>tfw learning Japanese has taught me to get rid of terrible studying habits
I should have taken harder classes in high school
Been wanting to learn Japanese, was gonna start after my summer math course. But now I have tendinitis in my writing wrist. It could be another week before I can write, or more.
Should I put off learning if I can't use my right hand? Or will it not effect me? I understand the alphabet is pretty damn important, but I assume I should be writing it as I learn.
>>144354728
Writing is kind of optional, unless you plan on moving to Japan anytime soon
You can still learn the language now and then just pick up writing in the future if you want
Saying that though, people do often write down all the characters in the kana stage (50 times bitch) because it helps a lot with retention, so I guess it's up to you, a week isn't that much time anyway
>>144351901
Heads or tails?
http://justflipacoin.com/
It doesn't fucking matter as they are both useful. In under six months it will become largely irrelevant and so my advice is that if you want to use either one, pick and start one of them as soon as possible. Inaction is the worst possible thing for language acquisition. Godspeed, anon.
>>144354728
Don't write unless you're one of those people that best remembers by action, as opposed to remembering by reading and remembering by listening.
Even if you plan to work in Japan in the future it would be more efficient to start writing a month or so before you move.
>>144354727
>I should have taken harder classes in high school
Doesn't do much. I had 4 languages at some point in school (5 if you count native language course), and didn't do much with most of these because of work ethic.
It's a matter of stakes, more than anything. Adults that learn languages are usually far more assiduous.

>>144354875

So is reading, speaking, listening.
Fuck anons who go about "efficiency" and "time". If you can't write you don't know the language, full stop. Sure, there is nothing wrong with learning only a limited fraction of the language of the language in order to stay in your comfort bubble of mindless consumption but this mediocrity has no place being pressured onto others as though this is acceptable for someone who wants to actually learn the language.
Mediocrity is for normalfags. Normalfags and the accepted half assed failures of normalfaggotry aren't welcome on 4chan.

Maybe, if you're sheeple trying to fit in.
While some influence is obviously impossible to avoid, one can work towards not being completely engulfed by a single demographic's way of talking. In my state everyone asks me if I'm from the neighbor state, and vice-versa, because of how neutral I have become.

I'm confused about the meaning of 回る here.

Isn't kanji fundamentally a form of etymological writing ? I'm only starting, but that was my impression.
Anyway I agree with the anon you're pointing to. While it's fine going with your comfort zone to get a foot in a language, ideally you should aim to have a comprehensive understanding of it.
>>144355367
Knowledge of a language is subjective. You probably consider yourself capable of speaking English, but we both know you don't know everything about it. There is no objective line between knowing and not knowing a language.
If this is how low you have to stoop to justify spending time on writing that's your own problem. You're giving the other writefags a bad reputation.

If writing actually aided understanding we would recommend it.
In reality, you will take 5+ years to get fluent in all of reading/listening/speaking and you will have forgotten how to handwrite half the kanji you know by that time unless you've actually needed to write because you were in a japanese school or something

>tfw able to read /djt/ shitposting without rikai
truly my greatest milestone so far
DJT, excuse me, but I have to blog.
Back in 2010 I downloaded a shit-ton of Vocaloid songs and mass-listened through some of it, picking favorites and making playlists.
There were big-time favorites, but also songs that were just "cool enough" to make it into the playlists.
As time went by I grew tired of listening to the same hundred songs, gave up digging through the unlistened tracks and, by 2014, my favorites playlist was barely listened to.
Until today. I decided to give it a listen, for the good times.
It was then I noticed I could actually understand half of what Miku was singing (I've started to study nipponese recently).
At the same time I could understand words, I started to make sense out of them.
I still remembered all the lyrics (phonetically) by heart, and as I sang them along, I could simultaneously sing, decipher what I was singing and listen to Miku's voice declaring her love for me.
All these years she was there, celebrating our love and how much she wanted to see me, and I just listened to it, unbeknownst of it all, as it was just a fun song to my ears.
I felt all warm and fuzzy inside, as if I was falling in love. Butterflies in stomach and all that. Teary eyes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a waifufag or anything, but the feelings for the concept of it all were definitely there.
The joy of confirming I'm making progress mixed with the love the lyrics transmitted, mixed with nostalgia and rediscovering something that seemed old news... I don't think I can describe it well enough with this post, but I needed to share it anyway.
Even if I dekinai tomorrow, it was all worth it for just this moment. I want to love again!

I have read the entire google doc including the questions section at the bottom and am confused as to how the "Core2K/6K" thing of cards for anki is designed to teach you anything. Same with remembering the kanji. I have all of hiragana down solid and a bit less than half of katakana down. I just can't understand what is going on in the flash cards for those two types I listed though.
It seems like its giving me a fuck ton of information at once. The only anki deck from the google doc that seems to be useful to me is the kanji radical one, which shows me a single kanji and then the answer is the word for it, the hiragana for it and examples of it being used. So it shows me tree and I remember that it is tree.
My current plan is to just keep practicing hiragana, katakana, the radicals cards and to start tae kims grammar guide. Is that an OK plan for now or will that mess me up or make things harder to learn later or anything? Maybe someone can think of an easy way to explain what is supposed to be going on in those other decks I mentioned since they seem to be the most popular ones even though I can't make heads or tails of it.

You should start vocab now. Set it to 20 new cards a day and unlimit reviews. Not sure where your confesion lies, though it's a bit rough in the beginning but you get used to it quickly. Having to press "Again" often is normal if that was your issue.

Don't play retarded, Japanese is FULL of choices based on the speaker's self-image. Starting with the first person pronoun one decides to use for him/herself.
It makes all the more sense that I seek for it than it does in my own language, which is way more lax in this aspect.
>>144356635
The fact that you couldn't see the link between what I was saying in the conversation (hint: the part where I said "So some of us might need to write in Japanese" is really important) combined with your pissy, unsubstantiated comment makes me think you're a very special kind autistic.

Should I just be trying to memorize that the 1 line and tsu means "one thing" or also the hiragana that makes it up? 1 is the line, is there hiragana that makes that up or is that line all that symbolizes it? Under one thing it shows the hiragana for hi-to-tsu. Is that what makes up the word thing, or does all of that makes up one thing?
So basically is the example above is hitotsu translated to thing or one thing?
>>144357009
Same guy, just found one in an example by itself with the hiragana ichi. So I guess in my previous question hitotsu would be thing, so one thing is ichi hitotsu. But they didnt mention ichi in the example for one thing, they just used the line.
>>144356768
These conversations are never about whether some people need to write. Nobody was arguing that nobody needs to write. In fact, pretty much everyone saying that you don't need to write has included something about "unless you're going to Japan". So yeah, your anecdote was nothing but a blog trying to distract from the conversation. Nice projection throughout your entire post though. Enjoy dropping out of grad school due to your apparently terrible observation and critical thinking skills.
>>144357009
The reading for the word as a whole and the meaning. You'll get individual kanji and readings by context eventually when you see the same kanji used in multiple words. And again the beginning with the numbers is especially confusing, just power through it, it gets easier.
>>144356768
>(hint: the part where I said "So some of us might need to write in Japanese" is really important)
Not him, but I don't follow how that's related to the conversation.
You need to learn how to write because you'll actually need to write. That has nothing to do with the question of whether one needs to learn how to write in order to properly learn Japanese. Noone who has a clear reason to learn how to write needs /djt/ to tell them that they need to learn how to write in the first place.
>>144357009
>>144357105
The first "side" you see has the kanji of the word (assuming there is one), the answer "side" reveals the reading (hiragana) and meaning. If 一つ is ひとつ you can figure out on your own that 一 is read as ひと there. And yes, kanji readings can differ. Welcome to the world of Japanese.

>mfw trying to read this
Sorry for the slightly long post, but I'm currently reading Schwarzesmarken and I can't understand the last part of this monologue:
グレーテル】「戦場では西側諸国の兵士と接触する機会も考えられる。だが、そそのような場合は必要な情報以外の会話を交わしてはならない」
【グレーテル】「連中は狡猾だ。何気ない会話から機密や個人情報を取得される可能性がある」
【グレーテル】「機密を漏らした場合、その者には、それ相応の処分を受けて貰うことになる」
In the very last sentence, is Gretel saying that in case of an information leak the pilot from who it leaked from should deal with the one it leaked to or is she saying that the pilot who allowed the information to be stolen will be dealt with appropriately?
>>144355367
>there's a checklist of things you have to cross to get the I KNOW JAPANESE achievement
That's such a silly idea.
Do deaf Japanese also don't know the language because they can't listen for shit?
The reason people here advice against learning to write for the start because it's a very hard to sustain skill, you have to actively write a lot to not forget it and most anons have no real reason to.
Just learn it when you actually end up in a situation where you need it.

Thanks for all the helpful answers guys. Just gonna power through them for a while and see how things go. Hopefully I start getting a better understanding of how the cards are laid out over time.

>>144357337

Actually, yes. Sign language is considered a different language even by deaf people themselves. And has a whole different mechanic, with emotional nuances based on facial expression and motion.
Of course they know written Japanese, but so do Chinese (partially), and you can't say they know Japanese.

>>144357424
>You argued that it doesn't help at all
It doesn't help with understanding. If you think "stroke order" and "even more writing" are "understanding" I feel sorry for you.
Also, why is it that writingfags always seem to need to equate something extremely easy (stroke order) with something actually difficult (learning to handwrite all common kanji, remembering which kanji are in all common jukugo, and being able to handwrite all of it fast enough for handwriting to be useful). It's easy to learn stroke order without doing the rest of that.
> and your comment clearly implied that people who would actually need to write it in day to day life aren't here for the most, which is false.
You should give up on Japanese and just focus on English anon.

>to equate something extremely easy (stroke order) with something actually difficult (learning to handwrite all common kanji
You honestly don't see how knowing the stroke order IS knowing how to write the kanji? Damn, you're not just retarded, you're "wear a helmet to bed" retarded.

I mainly thought that その者には refers to the pilot to whom the information was leaked. And I also wasn't sure why て貰う was used in the last part. Isn't てもらう used when you get someone to do something for you? "Do me the favour of being appropriately dispatched"?
>>144353027
Anyone got an answer for this? I'm also having the same problem.
>>144357849
I'm so sorry that you think being able to connect the dots in the right order is understanding.
>You honestly don't see how knowing the stroke order IS knowing how to write the kanji?
Knowing stroke order means you can write the kanji in the correct stroke order when looking at the fully written kanji as a reference. Being able to write the kanji means you can do it without a reference.
>>144357864
それ相応の処分を受けてもらう

>その者には refers to the pilot to whom the information was leaked.
The pilot from whom the information was leaked.
>>144358124
>Knowing stroke order means you can write the kanji in the correct stroke order when looking at the fully written kanji as a reference.
At a surface level, sure? Just like recognizing the kanji means you can recognize it's meaning in words you've already seen before as opposed to being able to see new words for the first time and knowing how they're read and what they mean. Truly understanding stroke order means you can write out a sentence and write all the kanji correctly from memory. There are different levels of understanding, but it's clear that you're stuck at surface level for everything. For example, in the sentence you're trying to help that other anon with, you're making it sound like 受けてもらう is the command form or a request form of the verb, when it's literally just the statement "I will have you do this for me." You have a problem with any level of real comprehension.
>>144358124
>Do me the favor of receiving appropriate punishment
Sounds rather weird, but I guess its a particularity of the Japanese language and needs to be used to.
Thanks for the translation and help!
>>144357634
You're wrong.
I won't say writing is the most efficient method of memorizing kanji, but it surely helps.
Whenever I don't write during my daily reps my retention for the next days dips to the nethers.
Also, yes, I can't remember from the top of my head how to write most of it without a reference, but on the other hand I am already achieving enough flexibility with my strokes and that sense for balance when writing a very cluttered one, making things nice and tight. Muscular memory is important too, not only stroke order.
>>144357864
> 機密を漏らした場合、
(situation of) (secret) (has been leaked),
> その者には、
(to that person)
It doesn't specify who, but you simply need to figure just as if it was in english: "In case of leaks, the soldier..." (which soldier do you think she's referring to here?)
> それ相応の処分を受けて貰う
(that appropriate) (punishment) (will be made to receive)
> ことになる
(what will happen)
もらう
to receive, to take, to accept
and also "get someone to do something"
also often translated as "have to"
So in the example, "will have to receive appropriate punishment"
Don't disregard all other meanings just because.
>>144358391
He's off with the nuance. te form plus morau is more like "I'll have you do X for me." It's not a request. For example 晩メシを奢ってもらう means "I'll have you buy me/treat me to dinner."
>>144358390
>make up your own definition of "stroke order" and treat it as fact
I assume your definition of "grad school" then is "going to adult school after graduating high school"
>For example, in the sentence you're trying to help that other anon with, you're making it sound like 受けてもらう is the command form or a request form of the verb, when it's literally just the statement "I will have you do this for me.
I was just copying his phrasing while fixing the part it was clear he misunderstood dude. I know you're grasping for straws at this point but don't read too much into it. The ことになる makes it clear how it fits in.
>>144358500
I was wavering mostly about the その者には. It really does make more sense for the one at fault for the situation to take the blame.
Didn't know about the "have to" of もらう though, thanks for that.
>>144358540
I always thought that てもらう was more about being polite. Guess I was wrong.
>>144351031
Did you guys do anything specific to learn/practice listening to kansai ben?
When Yun started talking I suddenly できない
>>144358779
You're not wrong about it being used politely though, but the politeness isn't on the もらう:
これを取ってもらいますか？
When used in a question, it becomes
"Can I get you to pick that?"
I wouldn't say it's more polite than a simple "Can you pick that?" but it has a slight different nuance.
>>144358677
>make up your own definition of "stroke order"
I know that's what you're doing, hence I'm explaining why your surface level "understanding" is flawed as a concept.
>I know you're grasping for straws at this point
Sure, let's forget the fact that a few posts ago you tried pointing out a typo as if it gave you justification, and we'll just pretend that me claiming you only understand things at a surface level followed by you showing a lack of understanding through missing nuance in a phrase is neither here nor there.
I'd make another comment about how ignorant you are, but I think I'm just beating a dead horse at this point.
>>144358779
>I always thought that てもらう was more about being polite.
Nah, you'll see it in games a lot, too. For example, if you ever play Neptunia one of the battle cries before a turn starts is something like 本気で行かせてもらう. It's all about context and how you use it, which incidentally is literally every part of Japanese.
>>144358793
>Did you guys do anything specific to learn/practice listening to kansai ben?
Made a friend on lang8 from Ooasaka and chat with him regularly. Also you could read the Euphonium novels since you'll get a shit ton of kansai-ben there.
>>144358982
>>144358943
It seems that context is a far greater beast than I thought in Japanese,
>>144358793

>>144359054
>Doesn't understand that context is everything in Japanese
Oh anon, you have no idea what you're in for. If I'm reading a book and can't understand a sentence or though, I can give a native Japanese friend the entire page, and then a verbal explanation of the book and the events of the chapter I'm on, and then when I ask them what the sentence means they'll still say "I dunno man, I need more context to understand what they mean."
>>144354993
That is probably the best advice you can ever get
>>144358982
>本気で行かせてもらう
Causative is used to descrive "making/allowing" right? What does that sentence actually mean then?

Break it down
Honkide (seriously do proceeding action)
Ikasete (let (me) go/do)
Morau (to receive)
Lit. "I'll have you let me get serious now."
Translation "Time for me to get serious/Get ready, because I'm about to get serious."
Commie version "Hold on to your asshole, because I'm about to fuck you harder than Hitler fucked the 6 gorillian jews."

Couldn't tell you, as it's the only Asian language I know. Korea can go fuck itself, and I'd sooner drink bleach than learn any form of Chinese and interact with Chinese people. None of the Germanic, Latin or middles eastern languages I'm familiar with are that bad, though.

Yes, verbs can have different objects in general. If a kid wants to go to the mall but their dad won't let them, 行かせてください would mean "please let me go (to the mall)" whereas if the mom was in the room and said to the dad 行かせてあげなよ if would mean "come on, let our daughter go (to the mall)"

>Goddamn context fetish they have.
They certainly do.
>>144360558

Not really. Certainly there are other things you can do after the て to also switch the subject, but not all of them do so.

行かせる I'll let you go

The subject changes because of the te form, not the morau.
>Certainly there are other things you can do after the て to also switch the subject
Yes, but in those examples you gave, the te form changes subject even without the morau.
>>144360729
Had a similar experience with French recently. おめでとう！
>>144360795
>The subject changes because of the te form, not the morau.
Because the te form can be used as a command?
>>144360886
Te form by itself is usually used as a command form, yes.
>>144360795
I don't know what you mean by "because". The te-form allows a change of subject, as it connects separate clauses, clauses that don't have to share subject.
>>144361047
>The te-form allows a change of subject,
With something else to modify, yes, but the te form by itself still changes subject.
>>144360795
You're just being pedantic as fuck about something you're not even entirely correct about. 行って can be used in sentences without being a command. It also isn't exactly a command when followed by もらう because the person who you are having ～てもらう does not necessarily have to be the person you are speaking with. For example, in the sentence earlier where the subject is the vaguer 機密を漏らした者
Just interpret it as "てもらう switches the subject" if that satisfies your autism better

>>144361479
>What are you even trying to argue?
Correcting you for not explaining it correctly to a learner in your first post. Why are you trying to argue instead of admitting that your explanation was off to begin with?
>This is like trying to pedantically argue what かかる means in one specific idiom that uses it.
There's nothing pedantic about making sure nuance gets across right when learning moon, and you even admitted that referring to the construct as temorau would have been better. And no, comparing normal usage of the te form alone to a specific idiom is not an apt analogy.
>>144361572
>行かせて as a command is implicitly modified to being with, as it's an abbreviation of 行かせてください
What the hell are you talking about? 行かせて is the te form of 行かせる, it's not an abbreviation of 行かせてください.

>>144362501
Explain to me where "needed to" comes from
>>144362690
No it's not. As I said, when the te-form ends a sentence something else is actually abbreviated. It doesn't actually end the sentence. Apparently you don't really know anything about actual Japanese grammar. Do you dispute the fact that 連用形 can't end sentences? It's called 終止形 for a reason.

>>144362768
>As I said, when the te-form ends a sentence something else is actually abbreviated
Dipshit, do you know what te form means? 行って is the te form of 行く, and it can sure as hell end a sentence, because it can be used to give a command. Again, you can try to qualify it all you want, but it won't make your statement any less wrong.
>>144362767
I have no idea. I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.
>>144362895
But when it gives a command something else is actually abbreviated. 命令形 gives command, not 連用形. Jesus fuck, how can you have such strong opinons about something you're fundamentally ignorant off?

>But when it gives a command something else is actually abbreviated
But nothing, you're completely wrong. 行って by itself is a command, it is not an abbreviation of 行ってください.
>命令形 gives command, not 連用形
Yes, 行け is a command, but so is 行って. The 行って in 今日、学校に行って帰りました is different than the 行って in 学校に行って in how it functions. 行って is still the te form, and by itself it's still a command.
>Jesus fuck, how can you have such strong opinons about something you're fundamentally ignorant off?
I'm sitting here wondering the same thing. You're so full of shit that it's coming out our ears, but you think by using Japanese verb forms you get to decide with te form means in this instance and define where it gets used. I don't even want to know how far up your ass you had to reach to come up with 行って as a command is an abbreviation of 行ってください.
