Forum: Japanese Language

小さい時から、1つだけの夢がありましたか？ 僕はずっと前から、 どうやら有名になりたかったです。 まだ有名になりたいと思います。 例えば、 偉い科学者やスパーヒーロやお医者さんや大統領になりたかったです。 でも、スポーツであんまり得意じゃないから、 フットボールやバスケットボールや野球選手などになることはちょっとだめだと思いました。 しかし、チームスポーツ以外でいつも格闘技みたいな試合でもっとよく出来ました。今、僕はチャンピオンになりたいと思います。 デ・ラ・ホーヤとマイク・タイソンみたいなチャンピオンになりたいです...

Hello, I'm not sure if anyone remembers me. I got scared away when the site swtiched ownership (?), but I noticed that at least some of the old people stayed behind, and that made me feel better. My questions are, 彼に殺して欲しかった how would you translate this? It's completely throwing me, and...

みんなさん、 １２月３日にJLPT（日本語のテスト）がある～！今年、テストをしますか？今年、テストをしない。あまり勉強しなかったから。-o-;;

Know where I can find a free and easy to use Japanese text generator

Does anyone know a site that teaches the strokes for each kanji. thejapanesepage.com teaches it for most of 4 but not all of them. I really just need to know the strokes since I have other sources for the meanings. Thanks to anyone who can help :)

I'm trying to learn japanese by myself but recently i've noticed in writing there are normal sized characters and smaller characters. During an episode of lucky star it really hit me... "I see" I'm not sure if i'm right but its always been "Sou ka" Over here though, they have "So" with a...

hey people. lately ive been hearing this phrase a lot: "どんだけ？！" the first time i heard it was in the drama that just finished airing in japan 'proposal daisakusen'. can somebody tell me what it means and give me some examples on how to use it? by the way the people use it, im guessing it means...

So... I can't see any kind of Japanese letters. They're all question marks. (Like this: ---->???????) I know that I have to install some kind of language extension, problem is, how do I do it? Do I have to go somewhere on the net? Microsoft maybe? Please help out this dumb noob!!! :confused:

How do you make words plural in the Japanese language? Somewhere I read that you add -tachi, but in other places i read that you don't add plural... i'm confused! In the Japanese DNAngel (englis subtitles), Daisuke said "ichigo" when he was saying "strawberries," but in Full Moon wo Sagashite...

So I've been wondering about this, and maybe someone can answer. I learned in Japanese class that when talking in plain style, you replace です with だ. However, this sounds really weird to me somehow, and it makes more sense to sound weird and just use the standard です than use だ. So when exactly...

I should get my own subforum for this.... XP With the ~なさい　form, is there a way to make it negative? For example if I wanted to say something like "Don`t do that" is to say something like "Don`t do that" is that even possible with ~なさい？ Is, for example, ないなさい possible? Thanks again.

OK. I really need help here. Cuz' my fave character in a show's name means thief in Japanese. And I have never heard his name before, and I can't find it anywhere! Plz help...:(

Hello all, I'm currently on holiday in Japan and it's great. One thing I've noticed is there loads of strange stuff you can buy here. My friend suggested that I should buy some Japanese goods whilst I'm here and sell them for a profit when I return to the UK if I'm clever. Unfortunately I know...

Windows: Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Settings. Somewhere in there should be the option to install East Asian Language support. There should be a checkbox to enable it for all programs (by default it is only enabled for MS Office and Notepad I think). Note that this might...

I've been trying to set my computer up to type in Japanese, but so far, I haven't gotten it. I've installed the language pack, but I am now at a loss.

Right. Can someone explain what Shiten Myooh and Koutetsu Teikoku mean in english?
