ngl i feel really bad for korea it was basically just annexed back and forth by russia japan and china over thousands of years

#

LOL

dusky carbon

then china said oh fuck we're too complicated and made simplified chinese while jp just oh ok cool whatever we dont wanna change

Who doesn't want extra coastline

Japanese really out here needing to know 3000 fucking characters meanwhile English only needs 26 coupled with some deciphering of nonsensical grammar kmm_nooo

@full mauve no coastline?

dusky carbon
#

senbonzakura a vocaloid song that is unfortunately about imperialism still being banned in korea explains a lot

dusky carbon
#

like 1 kanji paired with different stuff can have more than 2 ways of pronouncing it

dusky carbon
full mauve
#

he came to me with his translator app which said "Exit window?" or smth and then I looked at the original chinese and it was "出口" and was like "OHH"

dusky carbon
#

EXIT WINDOW 😭😭😭😭😭

full mauve
#

one of the worst things in jp is just how different sentences are like no subject and all the weird politeness things imo

#

context moment

dusky carbon
#

context based language frfr

modern jolt
#

Why does mo も start with the long stroke but mf よ doesn't?

full mauve
#

"Do you want to eat as well?" = "食べる?" 💀

#

good question i never thought about stuff like stroke order ngl

dusky carbon
full mauve
#

xapia prolly knows best

#

oh

#

🤣

dusky carbon
#

xapia brain autopilot from chinese

full mauve
#

xapia knows stroke order best on komimau i think

dusky carbon
#

and xapia also realise she's been writing certain chinese characters wrong too

#

i got reality checked so hard that day we were discussing about も

modern jolt
#

So many characters all start with the side strokes first then mo comes out of mfing nowhere and completely destroys everything

full mauve
#

like i can write 2 kanji by hand

#

💀

dusky carbon
modern jolt
#

は too

dusky carbon
#

i can write words, but i dont write them right

i bet a lot of japanese also dont care

dusky carbon
modern jolt
full mauve

but i guess i can kinda do 1 2 3 too yea

#

not correct stroke order tho

You're a girl, you're supposed to write well

dusky carbon

writing well takes a lot of effort

I learned jp because I liked jojo's bizarre adventure

modern jolt
full mauve

it should be shoren (on reading) technically

dusky carbon
#

i got thrown into the jp class cus you had to do well in school to be there. they didnt want people who couldnt handle the main subjects to take jp

dusky carbon

since i was in that class, i just stayed there

maybe i misunderstood

#

If you know any Japanese it's mostly predictable

dusky carbon
#

we learn 2 languages in school by default, so if you couldnt do well in either, you werent allowed in

#

jp is a hard language

#

and they make sure the opportunity is given only to those who can take it without failing their other subjects

full mauve
#

ure already like intermediate right

dusky carbon
#

not really

#

not at all actually

#

im n5

full mauve
#

wot i thought u were way above n5 LOL

dusky carbon
#

nope

#

im n5

full mauve
#

ure text made me think at least n4 ngl

dusky carbon
#

ARE YOU FR 😭

full mauve
#

i guess since u got chinese kanji knowledge u could pass n4 easily tho

#

when i was n5 i couldnt produce at all

dusky carbon
#

yeah its grammar that im worried about mostly, i struggle with grammar in almost any language (except english cus thats my first language)

full mauve

i wish i couldve done jp in school but was forced to take french ahh language

dusky carbon

i wrote at least 10 essays in the month leading up to my exams it was pretty hellish considering i was juggling my other subjects as well

ive been learning koraen grammar purely through chatgpt LOL

dusky carbon

DAMN

#

chatgpt a real one

full mauve
#

ok and krdict / naver ig

jmdict (yomitan) also has a lot of grammar entries

#

u can learn a ton of grammar through yomitan dics lmao

dusky carbon
#

thanks for the suggestion

modern jolt
#

む be kinda fun to draw

full mauve
#

like it will show u which conjugation a certain word is in and u can then look up what that form is saying as well

dusky carbon
#

i should honestly take the time to brush up on cn and maybe continue jp

#

cus well

#

work opportunities ig

#

people who know jp here get hired at the speed of light and are paid well cus its more niche despite cn speakers still being in high demand

full mauve

more languages can only benefit u fr

dusky carbon

I never really practiced, just immersed really

full mauve

i was just rlly lucky cuz my mom is polish so i had to like understand english and polish in addition to german as a kid often times

abstract mist

I thought you didn't know any Polish

#

Except for kurwa

full mauve

i thought so too but apparently i understand quite a bit still

#

im suprised myself

#

i just cant speak really

#

i only understand what my mom and sis always talk about and answer in german

full mauve
#

its pretty realistic if I keep up my language learning pace tbh

abstract mist
#

Pace is fake

dusky carbon

yup, time to strip myself of my chinese heritage

full mauve

I got to n1 in like 3 years too without any prior CJK knowledge so with Korean and JP mastery I should 100% be able to do it

Thats what I said in a first paragraph
Most of the people (esp on the first foreign language) aren't that powerfull

Also natives will not hate you if you slip out of keigo
My point was about a completely different matter - that its just easier for them to undestand you when you're using simple 丁寧語 at the beginning so you have a chance for longer N+1 practice learning new stuff through conversetion
Japanese people are really kind, thats true, but I think its disrespect towards them when youre not trying to make them feel more comfortable in a conversation

id say korean is not harder than Japanese personally its just different

wise ember
full mauve
#

korean has more difficulty with the aspirated vs unaspirated sounds and vocalized vs unvocalized and japanese has kanji and pitch accent

#

grammar wise korean and japanese are 90% the same so if u learn one the other one is basically free, vocab wise all the on readings are the same as well basically (also same kanji if u use hanja in korean)

full mauve
#

also id recommend any yuzusoft vn as first vn

#

or key VNs

#

anything slice of life

#

or aokana also goated

#

if u want smth unique thats still not too hard vocab wise id say go with 白昼夢の青写真

wow

#

Just got an e-mail that my JAL flights got shifted to another time

#

They said i can receive a full refund or get re booked etc

#

Plot twist the flight went from 14:30-15:40 to 14:25-15:40💀💀💀

#

My Ryanair flight today got moved back 30+mins without any prior notice or notification meanwhile JAL makes such a drama about 5 minutes i cant

dusky carbon
#

reminds me of a few days before i flew to singapore, i got an email saying my flight delayed and it was only 5 mins 💀💀💀💀💀

dusky carbon
#

id rather all airlines just tell people if they're gonna adjust the time

dusky carbon
modern jolt
#

But honestly

#

5 minutes is practically just margin of error

#

I can't believe they announced a time shift for it lmao

full mauve
#

fr

#

JAL do be one of the best airlines on this planet tbh

#

just the fact that theyre the only operator to have the dreamliner in a 8 abreast instead of 9 config says a loot

#

and theyre still competitive price wise

#

like finnair wouldve cost me 920€ for my flights and JAL I paid like 1000€

#

ill gladly pay 80€ more for that juicy legroom awesome food and wider seats on a 14hrs flight lmao

full mauve
#

fuk

#

now they changed my international flights for a whole 24hrs tho

#

wtf

#

thats actually annoying af

#

got one day less in yokohama then welp

#

wait nvm ill just add that day at the end then since ill be flying back a day later too so its not a biggie ig

wise ember
#

Gyze whats up

full mauve
#

i just wrote my first ever formal japanese email

#

took me half an hour

#

for 5 lines

#

oh

#

i made a typo

#

i just noticed

#

NOOOOO

#

it should be までに i forgor the ni

#

fml

modern jolt
#

What's with this cursed ahh font that has the bottom part connected on さ

cursive dock
cursive dock
#

same goes for smth like り

#

which is connected in font but separate in handwriting

#

the Study Kanji app has font previews for all of the characters so you can see the variations kmm_utonod

modern jolt
cursive dock
#

good thing it's only stuff like, strokes being connected or not

#

so eitherway you should be able to read it ig

#

kana anyway

#

if you're learning stroke order, that also helps read handwriting

full mauve
#

yea its like english u also never write a like a printed a right

#

wow that was a lot of a's

abstract mist
#

@modern jolt I have a present for you

#

f vs fi

#

Most fonts feature removing the dot in "fi", but i in other contexts is normal

modern jolt
#

?

#

Fi

#

I don't remember a character like that

#

Hold on

abstract mist
#

If you can see it on mobile, then use Google Chrome.

abstract mist
#

It has the curly bit of f instead

#

Only works with lowercase

modern jolt
#

Oh we're talking about English

abstract mist
#

Yeah

modern jolt

But kinda arrogant

#

Poteto do you speak Japanese

modern jolt
#

I've been busy this week so I haven't had time to practice either

abstract mist
#

I don't even know kana

cursive dock
#

or just hiragana for now

modern jolt
#

Atleast I'm hoping it is

#

Cause fuck me if I have to learn another 71 more

#

Oh ffs

abstract mist
cursive dock
#

but different characters

abstract mist
modern jolt
abstract mist
#

Yeah you need to learn katakana

#

Or be like me and don't know it

#

(don't be like me)

modern jolt
#

@cursive dock Does this thingy app not have katakana?

cursive dock
#

katakana is mainly used for borrowed/foreign words and names, and also sometimes used as emphasis when a word is written in katakana instead of hiragana/kanji

cursive dock
#

there's a switcher button

#

in the hiragana page

modern jolt
#

Fucking switcher button kmm_nooo

abstract mist
cursive dock
#

and all reading aids (furigana) use hiragana

abstract mist
#

Lux
Why is #🎲︱rolls give me so bad characters all the time

#

Like they're not even from anime

modern jolt
#

Spent like 3 days learning hiragana, time to spend 3 months learning katakana then probably forget it all

cursive dock
#

so hiragana you will always remember by just studying other stuff, katakana you have to keep remembering it by actively reading things in katakana

#

:(

modern jolt
#

I shall try

#

But my ass really doesn't feel like studying after spending 6 hours at work

#

So we'll see

#

How much I can get done

cursive dock
abstract mist
#

All the katakana I know are the ones @hearty socket used as his server username

cursive dock
#

the slower you learn it the better, so it goes into long term memory

#

hiragana is fine to learn fast cuz it's always present

abstract mist
#

To make it more confusing, Japanese sometimes has kanji for loan words

#

Like ペイジ (page) has a kanji version I think

abstract mist
cursive dock
#

japanese words that existed even before the loan words in question

hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

#

you confused me with @dusky carbon

full mauve
#

chinese loan words r the worst tho

#

拉麵 = らーめん

#

麻雀 = マージャン

#

like you never have kanji readings with ー with normal japanese kanji its just chinese loan words that are hell on earth cuz they have special readings

Does flx even watch anime

cursive dock
abstract mist
cursive dock
#

maybe i should pick up jp vocab again

full mauve
full mauve
#

He'll prolly say you dont need to learn stroke order etc i bet

#

Or like hand writing

#

Kinda true but again some ppl rlly enjoy it and learn faster through it so it might not be a waste of time for them

cursive dock
#

but i tend to easily forget stuff that way long term

#

physically drawing the characters is helpful for me

cursive dock
#

he also brings up onyomi and kunyomi readings being not as useful, but idk about that

full mauve
#

i mean learning ALL the kun / on readings for a single kanji is low key useless yes but otherwise its rlly helpful huh

#

Especially on yomi readings can help you read words you dont even know yet

#

ill take a look at the vid when im home ig

cursive dock
#

close enough right kmm_cri

#

also picked 英 once when asked for "tea" kmm_mikuxd

#

damn i still remember a surprising amount of N4 kanji (not that much but way more than i remember remembering)

cursive dock
modern jolt
#

I'm not overly worried about kanji atm tbh

#

I haven't even started learning katakana yet because I've been busy and haven't felt like learning

full mauve
#

kurzgesagt japanese moment

#

love that they included japanese two times LOL

#

the animators must love anime or smth

cursive dock
full mauve
#

just watched the vid and I agree that just learning Kanji without vocab is a waste of time but idk why he says that learning stroke order etc is bad as well and should be done after u know all the kanji already huh

#

and the japanese guy saying learning kanji is useless is also crazy

#

like bro its clearly still learning kanji if you learn the reading for 小学生

#

its just one reading of the kanji but its still kanji no matter how you put it

#

you dont need to learn all the readings of a kanji to know that kanji wtf

cursive dock
#

but oh well ig a mindset change can help motivate some people

full mauve
#

yea exactly

#

i think he shouldve talked about not learning how to write at all

#

id personally say u dont really need to learn how to write at ALL if you dont think it helps you with motivation or remembering kanji

#

as long as you dont plan on living in Japan knowing how to hand write kanji as like 0 advantages except maybe being able to read handwriting better but even that can be trained through just reading more

abstract mist
#

Uhhhh

#

Why does stroke order matter if you're not gonna handwrite

cursive dock
#

but other than that it's not important

#

i find it fun to learn stroke order tho so idm, drawing kanji characters is just fun in general

#

preference ofc kmm_hifumiyes

abstract mist
#

@full mauve I prefer 金髪 though

full mauve
#

low key my least favourite hair colpr

#

For me its 白髪 & (緑の)黒髪>>>>>

#

like irl i think black is actually the best

#

black fits every style of clothes basically and always looks elegant

#

I wish I had black hair😭

abstract mist

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

full mauve
# abstract mist WHY

idk i just dont think it looks good maybe cuz its pretty normal here in germany

abstract mist
#

how can you use は twice in a sentence

full mauve
#

私はそんなつもりは(なかった)

full mauve
#

つもりはない is kinda like a set phrase

abstract mist
#

I see

full mauve
#

just imagine it like a math problem

#

u know how u derive e^3x

#

first u derive the outer function then the inner right

#

imagine the sentence having an outer sentence and an inner

abstract mist
#

flx you cute

full mauve

私はXXX = outer sentence

#

そんなつもりは(なかった) inner sentence

abstract mist
#

@full mauve honestly I already watched classroom of the elite before and I'm not sold on the premise at all. Like, who the fuck pays all these taxes for the government to be able to afford all that?
Also, they're bullying the D class for no reason, and no, "the rule that you don't get money if you get in trouble or get bad grades is on page 230 of the contract" DOES NOT make the adults less responsible for the situation

#

The teachers are just sadists at this point

#

They're being treated like basically prisoners. Instead of being taught the socially acceptable behaviors to reduce the amount of offenses, the children are let free. Does the government have any intent to make this experiment a success?

#

If the point of an experiment is to see how good the idea is (it's a terrible, expensive, land-wasting idea), then maybe put effort into making it work

#

I think the teachers (especially the たにんの先生) needs their license revoked. They're the role models to their children, and most importantly, it's their duty to support their children, instead of saying "haha you are D class, that means you will inherently grow up to be a homeless druggie"

abstract mist
#

Also it's kinda chuunibyouppoi

#

With the German/French quotes in the beginning and end of the episode. And the whole "hiding your actual ability" thing, just screams delulu

full mauve
#

its not realistic ye but thats like literally every LN

#

Lol

#

If u want realistic dont read LN

#

Read 実用書

abstract mist
#

Like, Frieren is believable as fuck no questions asked

full mauve
#

o.o

#

I cant think of a single LN where id say the story is believeable

#

For me it has to be realistic to be believeable

Like 余命一年の僕と余命半年の君 or 今夜世界からこの恋が消えても
