Need a word or phrase translated?

[diceke]

So it's a given name? There's more than one possible pronunciation, but only one is correct for this given individual, so we could only guess. :clueless:[/FONT]

善 Yoshi, Sa, Tadashi
久 Hisa, Ku, Kyu,
恵 E, Kei, Satoshi, Aya, Sato, Megu, Megumi, Yasu

Sakue? Other combinations are just weird. But sorry, there's no definite answer.☝

Hi xFanGirl, if you mean the text in the picture, I'm afraid that it is not Japanese but Chinese...

Mm,,,weird,,,
But thanks for telling

Does anyone know what this says? I saw it on a forum and was wondering what it says.

I tried some online dictionarys but they don't have all the words, and are probably wrong.

Urunda hitomi no oku ni kawaranu kimi no sugata
doko made sekai wa tsuzuku no? todaeta hibi no kotoba
Kogoeru arashi no yoru mo, mada minu kimi e tsuzuku

 

[K-Young]

Hello,
Would anybody here know how to pronounce this name?
善久惠

The way kanji's for the names are pronounced doesn't always obey the rules. Parents named a child with kanji's just the way they like about the pronunciation but mostly the way it can be guessed. It may be taken from a part of the pronunciation or the similar pronunciation. (Nowadays, there are more and more names we can't even guess.)

善久惠, I bet, is よしえ. It can be wrong, but I think so.

Shorten pronunciation of よし（善）ひさし（久）え（惠）. It sounds just like a female name. And it sounds like an old lady's names. よしえ reminds many Japanese of おばあちゃん. Few young girls have this name now.

It doesn't mean anything. Someone suffering from schizophrenic disorder may say this. Lyric? Poem? If this is any form of art, I am just like the old people who saw a Picasso for the first time.

Anyway, I put it into Japanese.

You are in the back of my teary eyes unchanged...
Where will the world end?
Daily conversations have stopped...
At a freezing stormy night also...
It will go on to you, who are to appear before me...

This English translation would also make it seem schizophrenic but certainly a less literal attempt will become extremely natural.

All the translations I've seen are the same -- is this the one you found at Japanforum ??? :emoji_confused:

Devil come this way, towards the clapping hands
In my youthful days I played at Gion
every day, every night with a lullaby
swaying with a sickle moon seen behind

You're like a Japanese doll
an expression that never changes
softly, eyes close
I sleep beside you
sleep well...

now I'm thinking of my own dead mother
and my child on top of those memories
today again, I play the harp's sound

"Mother and you and my new relation"
Without thinking I put my hand on your neck.
You say nothing and you do nothing.
I'm gonna sing the last lullaby for you while you smile at me.

Impossible love.

put your hands together
your tiny hands
an unsuitable dream
corpse and love

[K-Young]

I was wondering, if someone can help me with translating this part:
くるり、ふらり、ふわり、くらり

Whenくるりis heard, one almost perfect circle in motion comes up to my mind. It should be smooth and beautiful.

ふらり is used with くる(come) or あらわれる(appear). Aimlessly? yes, but always unexpected. かれはふらりとあらわれた（He dropped in without any purposes）

ふわり has an impression of floating loosely (in the air) or being put on something lightly and softly. The way one cloud floats in the sky is the core image of ふわり.

くらり means one moment of faint or dizziness. Also it means being lightly shocked. かれのことばにくらりとした (His words made me a bit agitated.)

 

[K-Young]

How can I say in a proper sentence in nihongo:
Some live; some die in the way of the Samurai

A real samurai might say 武士道に生き武士道に死ぬ者あり（busi do ni iki busi do ni sinu mono ari）.

A modern learner of the English language may translate it like: 侍のように生きて、侍のように死ぬ人もいる (samurai no youni ikite samurai no youni sinu hito mo
iru).

武士道廃れず(Busi do sutarezu) , so I say if it means there still are some who live and die in the way of the Samurai. Very catchy.

 

[szikani]

Thank you all for helping me :emoji_blush:
@82riceballs - yeah, I'm on japanforum.com, too : and thanks for link to jisho.org, I haven't seen this site before ^^
@Elizabeth - I've found three different translation on random translation sites... the translation you posted is one of them

Hello,

Can anybody read these for me?


Thank you!

有賀と御座います！

I just wanted to point out that u forgot the "う" in "ありがとうございます", since it is very easy to forget it. This is also the reason for the wrong kanji (should you use kanji at all for this phrase 有り難う御座います).

 

[Charles Barkley]

会社に出る This seems to mean 'to go to work.' Am I correct in saying this?

出る is such a crazy word. To go out, to enter a sports competition, to go to work--is there any pattern to remember when でる takes meanings beside go out, or is it just a case of slowly encountering how its use in different situations?

 

[K-Young]

Hello,
Can anybody read these for me?

The first kanji is 近 (closeness). The two slanted straight lines from the top to the bottom are just lines.

The second kanji is 小瀬村, a village name. It probably reads oze-mura.

Look at the particle preceding it.

会社に出る
大会に出る

This means to show up or participate, etc.

家を出る
店を出る

This means to leave somewhere.

「でる」の検索結果 - Yahoo!辞書


The link is a handy guide to 出る。 I've never personally seen 会社に出る so you may want to find another way of putting it whatever it does or is supposed to mean. (To go to work as either go the office every day （仕事（仕事）に行く、通勤する、勤めに出る？？？）、or enter the work force (働きに出るなど). :emoji_blush:

hope 希望（きぼう）

Well, that was certainly easy. Thanks! I was probably mistakenly applying に to the second set of examples as well.

Elizabeth: I encountered it twice two days ago: once in one of my JLPT practice problems, and then another time on TV. It didn't seem to emphasize the act of going to work, so much as showing up or being there on a specific day against the backdrop of possible/real absence. I.e., people were wondering when the boss would come back from his vacation and then it was reported that he would '会社に出る' the next Monday.

When you say faith, do you mean religious faith? If so it will probably be different from the two offered above. I would be guessing from my dictionary, so I will not try to tell you what should be correct there...

 

[orochi]

hope 希望（きぼう）

Couple problems here.

Faith would be better as 信仰.

Belief is very vague. Give us more background. Belief in who/what/etc?

智慧 is usually written 知恵. Use the later.

Oh yeah. I highly recommend you not get any sort of kanji tatoo.
