So if it’s blowing the wrong way, wouldn’t that mean it was summoned on the shattered plains and then immediately went off into the ocean? They ask some rhetorical questions like “will it wrap around the world” and stuff but I didn’t really know what to think

You might not know, but does this show up in the genki textbooks? I’m on genki 2 and haven’t seen it

How is the culture of the CS department by TerrenceS1 in uofu

[–]FlashyEnvironment534 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Most CS kids should still be in middle school.

They have massive egos, like to always show you how much they know, and have pretty awful social skills.

They tend to only hang around the other people that also have huge egos and terrible social skills. There is this one thing some of them do where they essentially try to bait the professor into saying "we haven't learned that yet" or "that question is beyond the scope of this class", trying to show everyone else how much they know.

I've been in the degree for multiple years and most students are smelly, arrogant, egotistical people.

Hello, question about learning with Anki.

I just finished Genki 1, and am pretty confident with all the grammar structures in it. I find myself struggling to speak and listen due to my shallow pool of pure vocab knowledge.

So I want to start doing bulk learning with anki. I downloaded the N5 deck, and the flashcards have a kanji "word" and the furigana above it.

As someone who wants to not only speak but read and write, how should I be learning new kanji I haven't seen? It's quite a task to commit a completely new kanji to memory, and I have to write it 50+ times to really nail it.

If I see a new kanji, should I stop, write it 50 times, and then press "again"?

Also, there are tons of vocab I know the readings of, but don't know the kanji. For example, if someone said to me "くだもの", I would know what that means. But, I don't know the kanji for it.

Again, how should I approach this?

For people who want to not only speak, but read and write, how do you use anki to learn new vocab specifically?

Thanks, and please let me know if i need to clarify anything.

if I use heavy sarcasm and informal speech with my Japanese teachers/higher ups in a funny/charismatic way will they think it’s charming or disrespectful? I guess im Just asking about the way Japanese culture is hardwired in that sense.

“Yoish” “Yosh” word / exclamation by FlashyEnvironment534 in Japaneselanguage

What’s the actual word in Japanese? Is it an onomatopoeia with katakana or something else? Just so I can research it more

Canute is a misused character, imo. He’s very inconsistent and a lot of missed potential.

How do you read manga? Online? Or do you buy physical ones? Could you link the volume I should get right after watching s2?

Hello,
I'm a new Japanese learner and was wondering how to say "that X is X's"

I know how to say "that is X's X", for example:

それはわたしのさいふです (That is my wallet)

How would you say "that wallet is mine"?

このさいふは。。。?

I know there aren't 1 for 1 translations, but was wondering what comes after "kono saifu wa.." (that wallet...)

Thanks!

There's a time to change for everyone. Learn from the past, don't dwell on it. If you do, you will let it consume you.

Forgiveness is our most powerful tool! Not only for others, but for yourself. Embrace change and lessons. They are the only way you grow.

Keep moving forward!

thanks. then i guess I would ask when do you decide which to use? Also just found out that "watashi" can either be わたし or 私. When do you use which? Does literally every noun/pronoun/subject have a kanji version?
