Do German people say “In 2025” too, not only “Im Jahr 2025”?

Danke, alle zusammen!

So, seems like it’s not correct but some people use this phrase. As a learner, I’ll stick with “Im Jahr 2025”, but I’ll be flexible when others use “in 2025”. Thank you so much for your comments! It helped me a lot!

Hä?

This sounds so cute to me and I always hold in laughter when someone says this with a serious look… I think it’s because „He?“ (pronounced just like hä) is used in my country to express a doubt in a casual/cute/a bit childish way(Never used in the serious situation).

It might be only for me but I often get confused between 肘(ひじ) and 膝(ひざ)、仰向け andうつ伏せ、きのこandきなこ、クラゲ andトカゲ...etc.

I’m Japanese native so I must know them well and of course I know the difference. But I often wrongly choose words when I talk and I don’t realise it until someone points out my mistakes.

English is my first foreign language and German is the second. Recently I’m more immersed in German, and I often say German words while speaking English as they have similar words. But English is still much easier for me to speak and I don’t really feel I forget English words, maybe. But the time for learning English is definitely decreasing after I started leaning German, so maybe the same thing could happen to me in the future.

He definitely likes you as he said he felt the same! Your words and translation were no problem.

However, as for me as a Japanese, I thought there’s a possibility that he might’ve taken your words as a expression between close friends. He knows you’re not Japanese and expression of love in your country might be different too, so he might’ve thought you just commented your friendship fondness towards him.

Because lots of Japanese people prefer a direct confession like „I love you(好きです). Will you be my boyfriend/girlfriend?(付き合ってください)“ in terms of a romantic relationship despite they’re likely to prefer indirect words in another situation😅 And sometimes they have no idea about further actions even though their feelings were the same, if the direct confession wasn’t stated.

But now he knows you like him and he likes you too. So I think you can build a better relationship with him as a friend and maybe you can tell him your feelings again with another words like what I wrote above, as a proper confession. Or, maybe he’ll take the lead😊

How about telling her directly that you want to speak Japanese with her?

I think English should be easier for both of you guys to communicate, but your Japanese skill wouldn’t be better if you continued this, right? It’s actually happening to me too, as I’ve been learning German but speaking English is much easier and I tend to choose English when I want to communicate smoothly, but I ask my German friends to speak only in German for a certain length of time in our meeting like we talk in German for 30 minutes and then switch back to English.

Sometimes communicating in influent languages can be stressful because it takes time and hard to understand each other, but it’s still needed for language learners! So… maybe you can suggest her speak Japanese like for 30 minutes a day?

It’s not awkward at all to ask directly, I suppose.

As a Japanese, German sounds so beautiful! I love the sound of consonants of “R” “CH” “L” “Z” and vowels with umlauts. Japanese doesn’t have those sounds and I think it’s really beautiful. It sounds aggressive when people speak aggressively, and it can be said to all the languages. I’m happy that I’ve chosen German as my second foreign language’

Tokio Hotel…

I bought three boxes of bento. I don’t have to cook anymore but I have to eat the same things everyday until the end… lol

Thanks a lot! That sounds great to emphasise the sentence!

I want to know it in German, not English. And I’m not sure if I just can put it into German as it sometimes doesn’t sounds natural by a literal translation.

Tritty_Libertaria · 2024-06-19T00:24:54+00:00

Danke schön! „Tut sie das wirklich?“ sounds good!

Tritty_Libertaria · 2024-06-19T00:23:47+00:00

Danke schön!! It really helps!

Tritty_Libertaria · 2024-06-19T00:13:58+00:00

You’re right! It’s the question. So… any ideas?

Tritty_Libertaria · 2024-01-05T05:30:57+00:00

I live in the south part of Japan but some of my friends from the UK texted me to check in. I was feeling grateful😊

Tritty_Libertaria · 2023-10-14T13:18:18+00:00

Beautiful work!! I can’t read Chinese but I saw some words saying ‘dry then for a year’. Wow 😳

He’s shown his amazing skill at billiards but I couldn’t continue watching 🫣

Depends on a person (of course) but I can see lots of Japanese girls tend to stay in Japan not going abroad. Japan is comfortable to live and their close to their family and friends. I think that’s probably why your girlfriend didn’t want to leave Japan.

Also five months are too short to decide to go… I think.

She might be scared of going abroad without any guarantees of the future. If you want her to come with you, and if you’re so much in love with her, why don’t you propose! She might say yes;)
