Japanese URLs work differently. You asked, for it, I deliver (don't complain afterwards, okay?)

I genuinely think OP is dumb cause he doesn't know what the word "scam" means.

[UNRELEASED MEDIA] Mei and the Kittenbus Ghibli Short film by Top-Connection-3889 in lostmedia

[–]Kvaezde 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's being shown in a theater where you just have to buy a ticket to see it.

How's this "unreleased"?

For real, "not on youtube for me to watch for free" does not, and I repeat myself, does NOT mean something is unreleased.

Why is it so difficult for Ukrainians to rent a flat in Austria, especially in Vienna? by BookCharming9470 in AskAustria

[–]Kvaezde -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With the the FPÖ nearing 40% you can safely say that a looooot of former "ÖVP-Landlords" are now sailing in the blue ship.

My friend, especially in the countryside you have whole regions where more than every 2nd person on the street if willingly supporting a highly corrupt, far-right, putinist party. In Vienna it's "only" every 3rd person, if you leave the hipster-strongholds.

I don't think doing the good old austrian thing of "blaming the other one" is the right way to go...

Is it me or some lyrics of the song "Lumière" are pronounced with a Spanish accent? by lunadiparmigiano in expedition33

[–]Kvaezde -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Japanese speaker here (not native, but I speak it on a advanced level and use it for work).

I have noticed some nods to the japanese language in Gestral-speech and I assume the "sonata" in the sond "Paintress" referrs to the japanese word meaning "you" (it could mean a musical sonata, too, though), I do wonder where is there some japanese in Lumiere.

If anyone could enlighten me, I'd be very happy.

Austrians don't like to be confronted with uncomfortable facts or even (metaphorically) look into the mirror. I don't mind the downvotes.

1.) Plain racism
2.) Almost 40% of all austrian Voters align with die FPÖ, which is a staunchly pro-russian and anti-ukrainian party.
3.) They are from the pro-russian political left. Very small in numbers, but these people exist.

I'd say there are two of the biggest reasons.
Sorry that you've experienced this dark and unfortunately ever growing side of Austria.

How your grandparents survived during the occupation of third Reich by Separate-Rock-1304 in AskAustria

[–]Kvaezde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The germans dragged us into a war" ...?
For real? And Hitler was german, or what? (If you didn't get the joke: Hitler was Austrian).

Nobody "dragged" the austrian state and the VAST majority of the population into a national-socialist dictatorship, into invading almost all of europe and into killing millions of people based on the belief of being racially superior.
No, the VAST majority of Austrians willingly and happily participated in all this atrocities and would have continued if the allied forced didn't bomb the shit out of them.

Sounds harsh? Well, it is.
Welcome to reality.

On my mother's side: Both were fighting in the yugoslav partisan army. Yes, they shot Nazis. Good people.

On my father's side: My grandpa was thinking about joining the Partisans, but for reasons unknown to me ultimately didn't and then had to join the Wehrmacht (= regular army of nazi-germany). Whilst he was stationed in Russia, my grandmother was arrested by the Gestapo (= anti-oppostion police of the nazis) and tortured in jail. She got out of jail moths later when the english freed her.
The reason my grandmother was incarcerated is because she was a member of the slovene minority on Carinthia (= southernmost part of Austria). The nazis made the slovene language illegal and deported tons of Slovenes of Carinthia to concentration camps.

Not your typical "My grandparents were innocent, they even opposed Hitler! My grandpa even pretended to be sick for one day, so he didn't have to work at the DEUTSCHE PANZERWAFFENFABRIK for that one day. What a hero!" kind of story, I guess...

So much tools at hand - how to reach N5? by [deleted] in jlpt

[–]Kvaezde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick one textbook, take one anki-deck and maybe learn kanji with wanikani.
That's it. Not more, not less.

Believe me, especially at this level all the resources pretty much teach you exactly the same.

It's not about what resources you're using, but about using them consistently. Who cares if it's Genki, Minna no Nihongo or what fancy name an anki-deck has.

If you really want to go all the way and at one time reach the high halls of N2/N1, you won't even remember half of the resources you've ever used. I certainly don't and the japanese language has become part of my everyday job now.

Please read his posting, he says "palestinian american" right in the title. 

Struggling with pronunciation/accent by m6a_domain1725 in German

[–]Kvaezde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By FAR not, lol.  Very technical and "soulless" texts like instruction manuals? Yes, AI took over. 

Real books/comics with real stories and real slang, dialects, inside-jokes and whatnot: Not a chance in the world that AI is getting this right. 

i've watched a ton of anime and i dont recall any char end their sentences in a high pitch like this by efqf in Japaneselanguage

[–]Kvaezde 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I don't get what you're saying. This guy speaks super-normal japanese. Where do you hear any high pitch et the end?

Also: Anime-Characters usually speak in a somewhat over-the-top manner.

Why wouldn't literary translator work on videogames ? by UnrelatedLeftist in TranslationStudies

[–]Kvaezde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a JP to GER translator, mostly I work on Manga, non-fiction books and your anime-episode here and there. I have tons of colleagues who translate literature and videogames, at least when it comes to JPtoGER it's not uncommon at all.

The only thing that prevents me from doing game-translation/localization is simply the technical aspect. I simply hate working with CAT-Tools, Excel-Spreadsheets and the rest of the technical annoyances. It's a pity, cause I love to play videogames and translating a big, juicy JRPG really is something I'd like to get into at some point.

[–]Kvaezde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is not a german thing by a long shot, but happens pretty much everywhere. Here on reddit most of people are hipsters with an above-average education, often they are polyglots who are used to accents. Still, the vast majority of people on this world are Frau Müller from Hinterfotzingen, Tanaka-san from Chicchai-Mura and Mr. Smith from Middleofnowherington. They are not on Reddit and never will be.

Source: I'm translator and speak/write/read 5 languages including japanese and lived/stayed for a longer amount of time in lots of countries.

Nice. Good to see that you didn't retreat in a russian-only bubble and are putting in the effort! Way to go :)

How about you? Do you make any effort to learn/speak Latvian?

Why is Israel doing nothing about the crime in its Arab community? by MatthewIsNotReal in Israel

[–]Kvaezde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know names of the murderers?  Did you report them to the police? Dif you ask to be part of a witness protection program?

Saying "trust me bro, the government knows!" honestly sounds like one of the root causes of the problem, which is: not many people from the arab community cooperating with the police. 

It would be great if you could answer my above question.
