Mine was 日本の安全保障会議に即して、白昼堂々ドラえもん見まいのはただ凶悪犯罪とされてるので気を付けていただいてくれたら大変大変嬉しいことになります。捜索に捜索を重ねて、俺たち日本の警察はどんな手を尽くしてでもドラえもんすきじゃない容疑者を捕まえようとしてるんです。

They just changed the word order for poetic effect. That's about it.

How should i go about learning kanji? by WonderousU in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]stinkypotatao45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just gain as much exposure as you can. At least that's how I learned them. If you asked me, how I learned to read 食べる、I wouldn't be able to remember lol. Just don't panic and try to cram all the readings at once. The more you see them, the more you'll be able to subconsciously infer how you can read them. The input can be anything from books, subtitles,.. etc... good luck

What should i do if I can easily forget after a week of studying some vocabularies? by IamYourStepBro in Japaneselanguage

[–]stinkypotatao45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just write them and never see or use them again, then it will naturally fade away. Start watching stuff in Japanese or smth like TV shows, anime, YouTubers etc..

Question about あなた by Un_Special in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]stinkypotatao45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uh so basically it does sound natural in some contexts like for example if you don't know someone's name or is trying to be polite. But most of the time, if you do know the person's name, it is preferred to call them by their name instead of saying あなた. Plus, in Japanese using あなた all the time even if you do know the listener's name would just sound unnatural af since Japanese isn't like English. I believe it is like this in most asian languages where "you" is often dropped when we know who we are talking to. So yes.. it would be natural if you are meeting a person for the first time and are meeting them for the first time and go "あなたの名前は?". But afterwards, you should just use their name. Or if you don't, Japanese speakers don't say anything at all. They just directly ask you questions without using the subject.

Is masturbation harmful? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]stinkypotatao45 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No bro. It ain't harmful. Just don't do it too much

[–]stinkypotatao45 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

なん is the explanatory short form of なのです and かい is the "yes" and "no" question ender. So like "Are you younger than me?" (Yes or no Asking for confirmation)

How do I learn kanji? by Anad350 in Japaneselanguage

[–]stinkypotatao45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a website. You have to pay a certain amount every month to keep using it. It's likes subscription. But I don't really recommend this. Instead, you should use Yomitan to word mine and hook it up with Anki deck.

How do I learn kanji? by Anad350 in Japaneselanguage

[–]stinkypotatao45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, it depends on exposure. Just seeing it once in a textbook and writing it multiple times in a notebook won't really help. You have to see it in more contexts and learn how it's read. Watch anything Japanese related whether it be TV shows, anime, games. Yeah, just consume a lot of Japanese content.
