[FinancialWar]

早いターンで勝利するほど、戦闘後にたくさんのお金と経験値をもらえますが無理はし過ぎないように注意してください。

I can not work out what the latter part of this sentence is trying to convey.

はしすきない？ too much of what?

Thanks.

That's the one! It has Intermediate and Advanced versions too, it's very useful.

What's this translate to?

獅子百連打

I have a hunch it probably means "One Hundred Lion Barrage" but I could be wrong.

This is an attack name.

 

[FinancialWar]

One hundred continuous hits of lion (style)?

Why are you even try to arguing against with the fact that 誇る is a intransitive verb. it is stated in the dictionaries that it is a Intransitive.

一応確認が取れたので引用。
Quote from 広辞苑

なお、西洋語においては、受身形を作るか否かによって動詞の自動詞・他動詞の別を立て、それが実際に有用な区別となっているが、国語では、抽象的な概念、また無生物を主格に立てて受身形を作る構文法は発達していない。国語の受身形は、自発・可能との区別がやや曖昧であり、また、自動詞も受身形を作ることがある。例えば「親に死なれる」「雨に降られる」のようなもので、これらはむしろ被害・迷惑を表現するものである。また、多くの動詞の用例を通覧しても、国語では目的語をとるかとらないかによって動詞の自動詞・他動詞を区別することも困難である。従って、国語では、動詞の自他を区別することは重要な意味を有すると考えられないが、本書では、従来の慣例に従って、動詞に自他の別を付することとした。

Thus, the editors of 広辞苑 say "we don't think it's important to distinguish 自動詞 and 他動詞 in Japanese," and don't define the criterion they used...

来月から仕事を変わる and これで説明を終わります
should be 変える and 終える respectively (though owaru can be both vt and vi).

ヲ格とガ格の強調部位の違いについては、英語で説明するのが大変そうなので割愛。

I don't get your logic here. this does not prove 誇る is a transitive verb.
Dude, read that paragraph again, it's regarding to passive form 受身形 only. I am not a grammar expert but what the editor is trying to say is in passive forms, transitive/intransitive maybe vague. Plus I can't seem to find the quote, so can you give me the page number and what edition did you use so that I can read it in whole context.

Seriously man, stop fooling people that transitivity is not important in learning Japanese. For gods sake, the Japanese made almost every verbs in pairs. How would people know how to use は、が、を、に to mark topic, subject, direct object and indirect objects without understand the basic functions of verbs? How would people know the difference between 始める and 始まる? or between 起きる and 起こす. How would people know that する is the transitive version of なる? or that 殺す and 死ぬ is a pair even though they use different kanji.

New interface, made me a while to remember the password for logging in
Certainly, clarifying the 自動詞 and 他動詞 is important. However, I think what is more important for us is to know how to use which verb in the paired. Especially, for some case as 誇る in which the difference is pretty thin. Trying to tag it 自動詞 or 他動詞 is really troublesome .

No. They mentioned the hardness/meaninglessness to classify verbs into 自動詞 and 他動詞 in Japanese (again, not same to intransitive/transitive in English) in that paragraph.

Back to your initial question, "why 自動詞・誇る takes ヲ格補語"
In the view of 再帰性(reflexivity), 誇る belongs to 自動詞, whereas in the view of ヲ格補語, it belongs to 他動詞. (A linguist called this structure as 自動詞の形態をもつ他動詞文.)

I'm not going to deny the importance to learn 自-他 pair of verbs, especially for typical ones such like 始まる-始める, 起きる-起こす as in your examples. I just want to say that some of 自動詞(more accurately to say, the ones classified as 自動詞 in dictionaries) can take ヲ格補語, and "to take, or not, ヲ格補語" isn't the only definition to classify.
As for 自-他 pair, 預かる-預ける, 教わる-教える, 終わる-終える is also considered a kind of 自-他 pair.

The answer the questioner expected would be #1, but #2 also seems acceptable to me.

 

[myawr]

Yeah, the first one sounds very awkward (from my point of view ) but it is the correct answer. This is explained that using it that way is to emphasize the first experience of feeling the 数学のおもしろさ. I wish that I could have that feeling, too.

I really need some help here! This phrase is for my graduation, can you or someone translate this? I've looked everywhere for anyone who might of been able to, but no one's been able to help... If you could, I would really like it in japanese and romaji, but either will do. I wouldn't be able to thank anyone enough if they could!
"Welcome to Home Street Middle School's graduation ceremony for the class of 2009. We thank you for coming, and hope you enjoy this very special event."

clitoris and cow sh1t?

clitoris and cow sh1t?

What?! It can't be.
It was a part from a kids' tale, from the book in my signture. Can it have a different, a more innocent meaning?

I downloaded your book to check this out, and although I at first found it odd, Toritoribe's translation is completely true. Although to be honest, I really do think that cowshit would be a more accurate translation for "ushi no kuso".

I have a very quick question. I keep this word: アレソマ but I have no clue what it means or what it comes from. I also can't find it in any dictionary I own (including 広辞苑) or online dictionary like Jim Breen or Goo辞書. Any help would be appreciated. Also, would anyone happen to know a story called 『主よ、人の望みの喜びよ』? It's the name of a Bach piece "Jesus, bleibet meine Freude," but the author (whose name I do not know) used it as the title for her/his work. Apparently it was posted on Web拍手御礼.

Thank you in advance

I had no clue about アレソマ, but after googling it, I managed to figure out that it is about ガンダム (Mobiile Suit Gundam) - there seem to be two characters, one is アレルヤ and another is ソーマ, and the word is used to call this couple.
Mobile Suit Gundam - Wikipedia

Maybe 『主よ、人の望みの喜びよ』 is the title of the episodes of アレソマ, judging the result of Google with this title plus アレソマ as the key words. (Not 100% sure, just my guess.)

Need help translate the following romaji to English & conversion to Japanese script,thanks in advance.

Could someone please correct this for me, if they have a moment? I'd really appreciate it.

English translation: Origami is a very relaxing hobby. I love it because it reminds me of my mother. I have many fond childhood memories of making origami with her.
折り紙はとてものんびりした趣味です。折り紙を見ると、母を思い出しすので大好きです。私には、作成折り紙の多くの良い幼年期の思い出が私の母と共にいます。

Also if it isn't too much trouble I was hoping for some assistance with expanding this sentence.
小さい時から日本に、中でも日本の文化に興味がありました。
All in all I'm clueless as how to put what I want into Japanese, which is "From when I was young I have been interested in Japan, particularly Japanese culture, probably because in primary school (elementary school) we were taught a lot about Japan because the school had strong ties to a school in Nara. The underlined section is the bit I'm having trouble with.
Thank you!
