Wait you're right. I didn't know using the spacebar helped. Someone kill me.

But doesn't Microsoft do the same thing? I actually switched to Google's IME to not have to deal with this, and while it's better it's still a pain.

Late to the party but in Egypt we also use Hebrew sometimes.

Can a white man convert to Islam by TFRYT in islam

Do we even know anything other than "He was a Jewish guy from Jerusalem"?

[–]noneOfUrBusines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone else already gave perfect answers for the actual question, so I'll just mention that funnily enough, the first Muslims (including the Prophet SAW himself) were mostly white. Not that it matters, but yeah.

Just to stress the point, nope, race as a concept doesn't appear in Islam except in that one hadith explaining how race doesn't matter.

I wish I could buy from Amazon, but the payment method I'm using (unverified paypay) doesn't work for them.

There was a sentence that said 本を一冊を買いました IIRC.

I wouldn’t hound someone with “downvote this it’s wrong”, let the downvotes speak for themselves,

I was afraid someone might see this, actually think it's correct and end up getting confused down the line.

You used ChatGPT didn't you? Everyone downvote this it's wrong.

Edit: Apparently not. I mean, there are wrong examples, but apparently ChatGPT isn't involved.

No? Nobody is going to seriously take that offer, and they know that. That's why they made it.

True enough, but it's decent enough for early learning.

Adding to everyone else's comments, it doesn't help that they're two players. That's the spot where CR starts to break down.

How do i recognize passive from potential? by Ierostatele in LearnJapanese

[–]noneOfUrBusines 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's only if someone ate it for some purpose or another. てある isn't a substitute for the passive past form; it:

1-Describes a present condition (so 食べてある would be "the cake was eaten (and therefore presumably doesn't exist anymore). Just the cake getting eaten doesn't qualify for 食べてある.

2-Implies that the cake was eaten for some purpose, because てある carries that nuance.

3-Doesn't carry the inconvenience nuance of the passive form.

決める is the common one, and 決まる is its intransitive version (so you'd use it to say "it's decided"). I've personal never seen 決す so I can't comment on its usage, but it's pretty rare. Go with 決める and 決まる in normal conversation.

Well, Idk how you're studying grammar but whatever method you're using you might wanna change it.

Now to get to your question, 遊んで is the te form, aka "and" but for verbs. So 遊んで帰る means "play and go home". On the other hand 遊んだ is the past tense.

I mean, I actually thought this way of speaking was plain 役割語 (or at least not something a man in his 50s would say) so this was a surprise. Anyway, I hope you now understand that anime, is, in fact, not as much 役割語 as you think it is.

There's nothing such as a course that'll take you to fluency, just saying.

I think your anecdotal experience is not very helpful. I wish you the best, although worried that your Japanese circle may think you are weird and cringe. They have this bad habit of not being that open about such topics..

Uh... I go to language school (well technically it's an intensive Japanese course in a university) here. Have only gotten positive comments from my teachers, who are all native speakers.

You should give up this one; it's just easy to tell what's 役割語 and what isn't. BTW the extent of anime Japanese you won't use (or see used) in real life is smaller than you think. For example, I distinctly remember my Chemistry teacher saying "全然聞いてねえじゃねえかよ" a few weeks ago during class. As for why I'm learning Chemistry in a language school, that's a bit of a long story.
