I think it means rub and standing litterally but idk? It doesn't make sense to me where did you find this at?

>>116
Doujinshi

>>78
thought bubble, panel 2:
I can't read (the kanji "雪華綺晶")

>>78
Suiseiseki is the 3rd, you know.

>>77
If you look at the translation in >>70, that part is being quoted(the part before って), although it confuses me now that I look back at it why it is.
>>81
Ohh, that makes much more sense. Neither noko nor I could quite understand that part before. Thanks.
>>82
Shit, you're right. :x

EDIT: Fixed page 5-6.

Someone pointed this out to me...

"Why do you put Shimada on your doorplate?" Does this look strange to anyone else? Wouldn't it be "Why did you put"? Since it has to be in the past tense, as he's not doing the action now. (Unless he has some electronic doorplate that he has to input every time, or if he has multiple doorplates, but then doorplate would need to be plural)

>>85
Oh, I didn't think about it so literally, but I will change it... lol.

...zomg fix'd

What the is it now
みなさん
or
みんなさん

the dictionairies say both is correct.

>>87

1. "Shimada" is the name of the former resident.
2. Jun left the doorplate unchanged because he didn't want his name public.
3. That's why the doorplate says Shimada, not Sakurada. And that's why the 14-year-old Jun disappointedly called his future self "小さい" (small-minded/petty/puny/not ambitious).

>>90
Ohh. Thanks for clearing that up! Fixed again. But this is why I ask for feedback anyway, because I tend to miss things...

Tale 2 has been translated into Italian as well.

I convinced Epsilonium to translate, and she delivered.

I'm from Peru, so I speak Spanish, but also I speak english and a bit of french.

Obviously, because I watch anime, I know some phrases in japanese -_-

I speak english and some German, I lol at some of the "german" they use in the anime. "Rozen Maiden" = German? Nigga please.

I speak Finnish, my first language, and English as my second language. ENGRISH I say. I studied Swedish (everyone has to) and German in middle school, but I bet I couldn't buy a ticket in railway station in Berlin or Stockholm even if my life depended on it. I also have a textbook for Japanese but I'm stuck in chapter 5.

I speak German, Englisch and a bit Japansese, French.

But I'm from Germany!^^

French desufag here !
I speak English obviously and a bit of Spanish.

I know English, French, German, Latin, Spanish and Hindi. I can also recognize a few Japanese phrases from watching too much anime (if there is such a thing) and I'm hoping to start Korean this summer since I'm going there next spring. These aren't actually useful languages, but I know Klingon (Star Trek), Quenya (Lord of the Rings), and Loxian (Enya). I'm a serious languagefag.

>I KNOW ENGLISH LOL

>But really... I took 4 years of Spanish or so and am rusty, am studying Japanese, and my study of German is currently on-hold(I never got too far, unfortunately). Only thing I'm fluent in is English, even though I love languages. :(

This.

I also speak Viet and Singlish. Korean's next on the list once I'm done with Jap.

Fuck yes Asia.

>>105
Where did you learn Quenya? I've been interested in learning one of Tolkien's languages for a while now, particularly the one that is inscribed on the ring. However I've never found any of resources I discovered comprehensible and they all presumed that I was familiar with the structure of Tolkien's languages, which I'm not. Any chance that you can provide a link that will point me in the right direction.

>>106

>I also speak Viet and Singlish. Korean's next on the list once I'm done with Jap.
>I also speak Viet and Singlish.
>and Singlish.
>Singlish

Never knew you speak the Singaporean creole of English.

Anyway,I speak my native Malay and English with equal fluency. I know the most basic of Arabic, Portuguese and Spanish and am looking to sharpen up on those two languages and am aiming to learn Japanese, French, Italian and some obscure languages like Basque. Man, I do aim to be a polyglot.

nuqneH, qaleghneS

What kind of context is it?

>>110
Unlike english japanese is a fully contextual language.
Therefore if you hear something you nearly always need some hints of conversation or you will understand absolutly nothing.
The problem is that many words sound exactly the same. In written Japanese this is somewhat reduced by using kanji that are unique for each word and make clear what you mean.
for example i found over 200 meanings of ai in my dictionary but i guess the most popular would be 愛 for love
my guess for this sentence is a grammatical wrong form of docchi no shimai o aisuru which sister do (you) love
subject and object still not clear

>>111

No context, it's the title of a game I'm interested in.

>>112

If it helps, I managed to find the moon runes for it:

愛姉妹～どっちにするの!!～

>>113
k then 愛姉妹 seems to be a proper name 愛　can be love, lust, desire and so on while 姉妹 written with older and younger sister means sisters or partnership in general.
i guess its love sisters - which one will i do

>>114

Thanks

This website is fairly resourceful I think.

http://www.guidetojapanese.org/

And this site works very well in terms of learning kanji.

They have good crash courses for learning Kana and some kanji. Also a good recourse for stock phrases and grammar.

Java apps for learning Kana, Kanji and Chinese for your mobile phone.

http://jisho.org/
One of the best dictionaries I know, it's really easy to use. It also has a lot of info on Kanji you look up.

http://ajaxime.chasen.org/
For typing Japanese everywhere, like on PC's with no JP input installed. F9 switches to katakana only, while F8 swithces to romanji.

Handiest plugin for firefox. If you know some grammar, it will be fairly easy to translate text with it. You can use it to look up stuff too.

http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~grosenth/jwpce.html really useful tool for looking up kanji

Alright, in a hurry, no time to check links, so don't blame me here.

Do any of these teach proper kanji brush stroke order?

Second, do any of you know how to type Moon on VISTAIDS? I had it working on XP...And while you're at it, how to get the Jap Regional Settings to work at all.

I think this thread would make a good sticky, by the way.

Is this good enough, or are you looking for a different way?

>>30

It probably would, if I could install the IME in the first place. It's got a habit of not working.

Also, seeing as I can't even read the stuff outside of Firefox, I don't much think being able to write it would help much.

Anyway to fix these problems first?

>>34
Vista comes with the IME already built in

>>86

It says that...But it doesn't work.

In any case, my Vista fails beyond all belief, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's just mine that won't work it.

You can search for both Japanese and English words and phrases there. Pretty good if you want a less dictionary-like translation of a word/phrase.

Now and then I tend to wonder if my dictionaries are up to date or if they are missing useful words and phrases.

Anyone know where you find the up to date edicts and such? And how often they are updated?

It happened a few months ago when I was asking about something and someone said it turns up in rikaichan, except it didn't for me so I assume mine is a bit outdated or just not big enough.

My Friend can translate the russian version!^^
I meet her next mondy

>>64
Wonderful! Looking forward to it!

On a side note: Hint at Suiseiseki in the next tale?

Okay, my Freind is on the translation!^^ She will finnish tomorrow!^^

>>94
Will she still be able to post during her stay in Finland?

>>95

Finish translating tomorrow eh?

If we can get a script posted then our collective can shop in the text faster than one person alone.
