If I didn't type anything after it, it's correct. 1) tsurai/hibiku= sad sad is usually kanashii tsurai is an adjective for painful or heartbreaking Hibiku doesn't mean sad it means "to resound" or echo 2) kitto= surely 3) yasashisa= kindness yasashii is to be kind or sweet. yasashisa is a grammatically form that makes it more of an adjective, you need a noun after yasashisa 4) tane= seed 5) chou= butterfly I usually say chou chou but once is ok too 6) hegi/heki= nothing, it's okay 7) omoii= memories not quite omou is to think, often as "omoimasu" Oboemasu means to remember kioku is memory 8) daku= hug what is... 1) hitotsu = one (Japanese counting) Hitotsu = 1 Futatsu =2 Mittsu = 3 Yottsu = 4 Itsutsu = 5 muttsu = 6 nanatsu = 7 yattsu = 8 kokonotsu = 9 tou = 10 It doesn't go beyond 10 2) kikitoto ? 3) kanjiru = to experience or feel or sense 4) katachi = form, shape, figure, type of something 5) todokanai = no letter? 6) akogare = yearning, aspiration 7) kagayaki = radiance 8) manazashi = a look how do you say- 'thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it.' ? Arigato gozaimasu is fine. re: Chocolate: 2. This chocolate might be has bad taste, but could you accept this? why would you want to say it that way? this leaves out the bad taste part. kono chocolate o ukeirenasai With the bad taste part. kono chocolate wa mazuka moshirenai ga sore o ukeirenasai re: Go bother/badger someone else. You don't actually tell someone in Japanese to annoy someone else.You just tell them to go away or that they are a bother. You'd usually say hatameiwaku na or gomeiwaku na They mean more or less the same thing but it still comes across as "You're annoying.. (go away)" re: Get lost michini mayou doesn't mean to leave or get lost. It means that you have lost your way, that you really are lost and don't know where you are. |

wat is shinichi tsubasa mean in jap  |
|
Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here!

Shinichi Tsubasa? Together it sounds like a name. Shin'ichi is a boys name. tsubasa means Wing, it can also be a first or second name. Shin'ichi Wing. so.... someone know japan shite: iyasemase: What are you asking? What those last 2 mean? shite is a form of the verb do, or make, it doesnt mean much on its own. Its often used to make something into a verb, for example "KISU wo shite kudasai" means "please (do a) kiss (to me)" or "please kiss me". Its also the last part of hajimemashite, which means "nice to meet you". It is used in many ways, so if you have an example please post it. iyasemase is a very unlikely word, did you spell it right? iyasemasu would mean (something) can be cured, but it is not the normal word to use. I think you probably mean something else.  |

多分ã€ã‚¢ã‚¤ã‚¶ãƒƒã‚¯ã•ã‚“ ^^ I did think it might be, and as you know, irasshaimase usually means "welcome", "come in", and heard many times a day when you go into stores or restaurants in Japan, and sometimes people shout it outside in the street, to get people to come into their store, which can be annoying. It's the polite imperative (giving an order) of the honorific verb "to go, to come or to be", irassharu. |

wat does shinichi mean in chinese |
|
Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here!
|
|
softha asked: "wat does shinichi mean in chinese" sou desu nee... well, shin'ichi is a Japanese man's name. It can mean many things, including, new one, heart first, true town. Seriously, the meanings go on and on... and depends on which two (or three) kanji are used to spell it. Now, where does Chinese come into it? if you want shin'ichi translated into Chinese you need to know which shin'ichi it is, and to know that, you must have the kanji version. Is he a character from an anime or manga? |

How do you say "I live only to seek power" Does anyone know which Japanese English dictionary is the best because I bought one but it doesn't have all of the words in it.
Those who are raised in darkness do not fear it... they embrace it... letting evil consume there bodies and hatred control there souls... they are the demons of this world...

Vijern, the translation of this would depend on context. What are you being asked to do? a good way to start refusals is "zannen desu ga" zannen means regret, unfortunate, so this says "unfortunately..." then give an excuse. or you can say "sumimasen ga..." (sorry) Usually, excuses are made instead of complete refusal, even if the excuse isnt even explained! for example you can say "sumimasen ga, chotto..." which means "sorry, but, it's a bit....." (a bit what? well it doesn't matter, people read between the lines.) heres a full sentence with zannen: zannen desu ga, chotto tsugo ga warui... (unfortunately its a bit inconvenient ("the convenience is bad" notice "ga" is used after the first apology, it means "but" and links the two parts of the sentence in a polite way. warui means bad, or "not good". it can be used for something like weather, tenki ga warui (the weather is bad) or if a person acted badly ("fault"), eg sono toki wa, boku ga warukatta ndesu (it was my fault that time, warukatta is past tense of warui). words for sorry are: gomen or gomen nasai (nasai makes it more polite) sumimasen (this is like "excuse me", you can say this to get someones attention, but you can say it afterwards as an apology. A less polite version is "sumanai" or even "suman" (which is male speech and considered a quite rude apology!) shitsurei shimasu ("I am being rude") this is used when for example you interupt someone, or have to leave early, it can be used as goodbye if you have to go abruptly, and is also used at the end of a phone conversation when you are the last to speak. |

| warui can mean the equivalent of "sorry" (or I guess "my bad") in certain contexts. A shortened form of: ç§ãŒæ‚ªã„ã€or something of the same sort. Of course, it would be a casual, friend to friend conversational type thing. |

I've now have some Japanese readers I'm working my way through. It's strictly "Dick and Jane" stuff right now, but, hey, I'm reading Japanese! I've pretty much translated the first booklet, but there's one thing I can't figure out. Example: ã§ã‚‚ã€ä¸€ã¤ã ã‘ã‚ã‚Šã¾ã›ã‚“。ãã‚Œã¯ã€ã€Œè¨€è‘‰ã€ã€‚女ã®åã¯ã€Œè¨€è‘‰ã€ã‚’言ã„ã¾ã›ã‚“。 What I don't understand is what 'kotoba' is doing inside quotes in these sentences. The writer is trying to convey something with the quotes, but I can't figure out what it is. Any ideas? Regarding dictionaries: I think it depends on what you're trying to do and what level you're at. I have a Casio V80 that's pretty useful for translating kana to English, but if you try to go the other way you get the answer in kanji, which I don't know well enough yet. It's really made more for Japanese students working with English rather than the other way around, though it will become more useful as I get better. I found NTC's New Japanese/English Character Dictionary (aka "Halpern") in a used bookstore for half price, and it's been pretty useful for looking up kanji and combinations, but it takes some practice and even then it's a bit slow to use often. I also have Kodansha's furigana dictionary which wasn't bad to start with, but it ran short of words I was interested in pretty quick. |

I don't think there is enough context to tell from that quote. sore wa "kotoba" refers to something mentioned before, we would need to know this context, for example is "kotoba" "words", "a word", "language", or just the word "kotoba"? We don't know if this is a particular girl or "a girl" generally, either. Japanese relies on context more than just about any other, so in many cases a fragment of text can't be translated reliably. As in English, quotes can be used for actual words said, or to point out the quoted word is not the usual meaning, or is used ironically, an example, or something like that. By the way, I wouldn't say this was "Dick and Jane". |

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here!

| Hmmm...context... The story is about an unnamed, but specific, girl. It describes a bunch of items that are in the girl's room (toys and such), then follows with the example passage. Not much more context than that up to this point in the story. It's obviously not quoting what the girl said, but I'm not sure what other interpretation is appropriate. I get the jist of it, that they're talking about how laughter and conversation are missing from her world, but I was trying to get a bit more specific language lesson out of it, maybe some trick of using quotes that's different from English. |

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here!

Ok, I agree its not direct speech. But I'm almost certain the Japanese dont use quotes any different from English. They borrowed quotes marks from western language after all. Quotes can be used in many ways in English though. In this case it sounds like the writer wants to say that "kotoba" is used in a particular way, like we put things in quotes when we mean "so called.." or "what I mean by.." etc. Maybe also kotoba is "language" and not "word" (as it means both). In a creative way, some thing like: 'That's "language". [And] The girl doesn't use [say] "language".' makes a kind of sense. |
