Questions About the Language Link | by maj on 2005-10-22 13:05:59

some things i am curious about im not exactly sure what the word Wo means like in this sentence Tsubasa Wo Hiroge (copied from a song lyric) from what i've seen it has similar properties to "No" Also what exactly is a Kansai accent anyways i've been meaning to find out i've noticed that a handful of people replace "Ai" with "E" one of them being a close friend of mine who was born in Japan

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by Euphony on 2005-10-22 13:42:38

Wo is placed after a noun to indicate that it's a direct object

を(wo) specifies the subject of action. for example, パンをたべます = pan wo tabemasu = i eat bread

I've always wondered what the 'small' tsu sign put in the middle o words spelled in Katakana. I know that 'small' signs are used to change the vowel, but I'm just learning Japanese and I have no idea what it does. Could somebody clear this up? Is it a pronunciation thing? May the Triforce live on!

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by Milo Rat on 2005-10-23 08:20:50

Little tsu in katakana works the same as it does in hiragana - double consonants. バット(batto) - bat ちょっと(chotto) - a little

tsubasa wo hiroge means spread your wings if it was tsubasa no hiroge, it would mean the spreadding of the wings. If Guns Kill People Then Pencils Mispell Words

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by triforce_eternal on 2005-10-26 18:23:21

Yeah, but in some Katakana names, there's a tsu and there's no double vowel. I'm confused. Since my computer doesn't support Japanese, I'll just sound it out. Yoshi's Island -the game- is spelled like so. YO-tsu-SHI ....the rest. May the Triforce live on!

yeah the tsu doubles the constanant instead of the vowl before it so its basically yosshi

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by triforce_eternal on 2005-10-27 12:54:43

odd. ;-) May the Triforce live on!

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by Rosette Christopher on 2005-11-22 20:17:10

I'm a bit confuse with making a Japanese basic sentence... Can anyone teach me?

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by Filter on 2005-11-23 17:54:18

Why not find a Japanese tutorial online? There are plenty out there. ここに何を言うのか全く分からない。。。

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by ketsuki on 2005-11-23 18:09:49

im slow and stupid, can anyone tell me how to say "merry christmas" or "i want to kiss you".

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by kirisuto_kyo on 2005-11-23 19:09:54 (edited 2005-11-23 19:10:08)

hmmm, for merry christmas all i know is "meri-kurisumasu." that would be in katakana, but i dunno japanese has another form of merry christmas. for japanese basic sentences, there are many of them. it also depends on what you're saying and the particles in it. need to be specific. if i could, i'd scan my japanese textbook from school!

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by Filter on 2005-11-23 20:03:58

I Want to Kiss You -君にキスしたい There are severals ways to say this, but here you go... I'm assuming that you're a male and that the person you want to lock lips with is female, so I went with "kimi" instead of "anata" (though that too would've worked). ここに何を言うのか全く分からない。。。

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by ketsuki on 2005-11-23 21:24:45

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by Rukia on 2005-11-23 22:02:01

"Otanjobi omedeto gozaimasu." (Happy Birthday) The usual thing that I say for now.

Re: Questions About the Language Link | by triforce_eternal on 2005-12-07 14:04:01

I've heard different. 10 was Jyû, and 6 was Roku. And isn't there no such sound as Si? Isn't it Shichi instead? May the Triforce live on!
