Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by アイザック (Isaac) on 2007-03-02 15:45:20

私も行きたい (watashi mo ikitai) This would probably be the most simple way to say "I want to go too." There are variations with different nuances, but this one should work fine. This second one really depends on how you want to say it. Politely? Casually? Bluntly? Angrily? 何をしていますか。 (nani wo shite imasu ka?) Would be a more polite, distal style. As for a suffix -"byon," I can't say I've ever heard that used before so I can't really help you too much on that one. My guess would be though: Some anime do add certain phrases that characters use in place of more common things (can't think of any off of the top of my head.) Generally they do tend to be for cuteness, or to some effect like that. Personally, I usually just find it kinda annoying.

arigatou Isaac! Nihon-jin desuka? lol, just had to ask.

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by on 2007-03-06 05:27:08

what is ogenki one--ten we met online, we chat somethime, we become bestfriend at last

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by アイザック (Isaac) on 2007-03-06 06:16:42

Ryoko - Just studying the language yuri - 元気 (genki) translates to something of the nature of: energy, vigor, and health. The o- is simply an honorific prefix that is tacked on. お元気ですか。(ogenki desu ka?) "Are you feeling (healthy/well/energetic)? Though the english word used for translation slightly changes on a situational basis, the general feeling is the same. By 1--10 I assume you mean counting? using the chinese numbers: ichi, ni, san, shi, go, roku, shichi, hachi, kyuu/ku, jyuu using the more traditional japanese numbers (not used alone very often): hi, fu, mi, yo, itsu, mu, nana, ya, kokono, tou shi/yon, and shichi/nana, 4 and 7 respectively, are used interchangably however. yon is used by some more often than shi due to "shi" being the same pronunciation as the word for "death." As for 7, I forget the reasoning if there actually is any. I personally tend to say nana, unless talking about the hour, month, etc. For english speakers, counting can actually be somewhat difficult in japanese. Counting changes based on what it is you're actually counting, something we're not very used to in english. For the regular counting of just numbers, the chinese are typically used.

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by クラッシワヤー(CrazzyWarrior) on 2007-03-06 11:45:04

I found counting in japanese easy, its more logical then english(well somewhat) ichi=1 ni=2 san=3 shi/yon=4 go=5 roku=6 shichi/nana=7 hachi=8 ku/kyuu=9 juu=10 juu ichi=11 juu ni=12 ni juu=20 ni juu san=23 hyaku=100 hyaku ni juu go=125 the hard parts are the exceptions(not 4/7 ones) with hundreds and thousands sanbyaku=300 roppyaku=600 happyuku=800 zensen=3000 and 6000 but cant remember it offhand, but its in my book.

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by アイザック (Isaac) on 2007-03-06 12:43:36

Just normal counting is easy enough. I was refering to the counters you need to use. Counting long, slender objects: ippon, nihon, sanbon counting people: hitori, futari, sannin counting flat objects: ichimai, nimai, sanmai days of the month or a durration in days: tsuitachi(first of the month)/ichinichi (first day), futsuka, mikka counting books: issatsu, nisatsu... and a bunch more The difficult part of english speakers is making sure you're using the right counter.

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by クラッシワヤー(CrazzyWarrior) on 2007-03-06 14:33:15

Oh, I see, yea they can be hard, havent worked with counters much but I know some of them from class and independent studies. Also anyone going to offer any advice on my translation question?

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by on 2007-03-06 22:50:21

i see thanks! we met online, we chat somethime, we become bestfriend at last

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by rokuemon on 2007-03-07 12:28:37

CrazzyWarrior-san: The various attributes seem fine, I would just put "warm-heartedness" or "kindliness" instead of "humanity" because humanity isn't as clear in meaning. for the title & description I would say (note DGW = Death God World): Death-God World Observer (or Watcher) A valuable person who covers all the laws of the DGW. A leading figure who has gained the trust of the Great King Death God. All in the DGW recognise his superiority and he is often consulted. He is seen to smoke tobacco. Notes: 御意見番 [goikenban] is an official observer ("go" is honorific, but not usually translated into English as "honorable") 存在 [sonzei] in this case means "person" or "being" (as in human being), not existence. 一目置 [ichimokuou(ku)] means to acknowledge someone's superiority. Note the first character should be 一 (ichi) but you wrote ー (length mark)

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by クラッシワヤー(CrazzyWarrior) on 2007-03-07 22:50:13

thank you rokuemon. I posted that on another site asking for helm(they helped several months before when I was asking some questions) but they just asked if I used a web translator, and I responeded in part, but I had to put puzzle peices together for it, and then everyone seemed to ignore it. and they(admins) yell if you bump topics so yea. well I thank you again. I will try to move on to another one now. Im not very skilled with Kanji but I like them and am studying them when I can so yea. Thanks.

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by rokuemon on 2007-03-09 07:37:21

1st missing kanji word: 特徴 2nd missing kanji word: 直射日光 You shouldn't have any problem looking the words up

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by クラッシワヤー(CrazzyWarrior) on 2007-03-09 13:56:52

My atempt, what do you think? Calikarcha Several eyeballs are lined up on the side of the head. By the way, this death god is a rare modle of shinigamis. Observed Date Death God Rank 11 Gender Male Likes Blueberries Dislikes Sunlight DEATH CHART Intelligence 2 Curiosity 2 Activeness 2 Kindness 2 Murders 5

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by rokuemon on 2007-03-09 16:46:51

That's pretty much the sense of it CrazzyWarrior. This would be my attempt: Its characteristic features are the several eyes lined up along the side of the head. A rare type of death god, in fact?

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by Rui on 2007-03-13 18:11:17

Ano, hehehehe...it's good that I spotted this thread. Please help me translate this into romaji: 爱之旋律 It's a song by KOKIA, a Japanese singer. Thank you very much. ^^

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by アイザック (Isaac) on 2007-03-13 21:04:42

After a quick search: It looks to me like that's possibly the chinese name for 愛のメロディー (ai no melody) Ending theme song for 銀色の髪のアギト (Gin-iro no kami no Agito) Int. english title: Origin -Spirits of the Past-. Movie is sub-par, but Kokia is definitely a great vocalist

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by Rui on 2007-03-13 22:19:59 (edited 2007-03-13 22:21:25)

Oh...so it's in Chinese. That's why I never found it even after searching through KOKIA's discography. Thank you very much. Hehe...yes, I do agree. KOKIA is a good singer. ^^

Re: Want a translation? Need help? Ask here! Link | by クラッシワヤー(CrazzyWarrior) on 2007-03-14 21:22:57
