Need a Kanji Translated? Just ask!

[Toritoribe]

hi, i was wondering if any one could help me translate the text on the right side of this image:[/QUOTE
Very close. The first character is not the kanji 力[chikara] but the katakana カ. That's カタルシス or "catharsis".

 

[sniarb]

thanks a lot. i figured i had it pretty correct based on how it looked but when i went to translate it i got that weird response.

Hi all, I have two pocket watches, which are probably military chronographs,
could someone translate the inscriptions which are on the back?
Thanks in advance.

ありがとう Toritoribe,
What a wonderful way of helping one another. If I can do the same for you in German, let me know :

Thanks once again
Jimmy

 

[Toritoribe]

I'm glad if I could help.

Hi again.

イヤになった者

Has it a bad connotation like a mad person (illness) or is it just for telling : it's someone who has difficulties to live in the current society?

thanks in advance!

It's a person who has become somehow unlikeable, disagreeable, or otherwise unpleasant.

 

[Lotorie]

Thank you very much for your response!

今明日
今日明日

as far as I know they both mean "today and/or tomorrow"
so what is the difference?

The latter is correct, but the former is wrong.

EDIT:
The term "wrong" is not appropriate here. I looked up a dictionary, and found the word 今明日[こんみょうにち]. I had to use "an obsolete word" instead.:emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

伝言がとどいていませんか
I try to find out how to take this sentence apart
私宛に何か伝言がとどいていませんか

私宛 my address
に ni particle
何か something
this is as far as I can get

so what does 伝言がとどいていませんか mean?

 

[Glenn]

伝言 means "message", and 届く means "to deliver" in an intransitive sense, so it's like "did something not come for me?"

I've been looking in dictionaries for this Kanji, but I can't find it. I don't know how to pronounce it, so I can't type it.
It's 益 only with a ツ next to it. The closest thing I could find was 溢, but it doesn't look quite right, is that the right one?
The kanji is followed by れ出る and 溢れ出る makes sense, but the kanji doesn't look the same, so I just want to make sure.

If it isn't right, does anyone know what the correct kanji is and how it's pronounced?

 

[Glenn]

Yes, it's the right one. It's read あふれる, and the word 溢れ出る is あふれでる. It basically means to flow freely. The reason it looks different is because 溢 isn't a 常用漢字, so its form didn't change, as 益's did during the simplification and standardization of the (at the time) 当用漢字.

By the way, that シ is an abbreviation of 水, and is called さんずい.

I see, thank you.

 

[Glenn]

Sorry, I just want to clarify that it's 溢れる that basically means to flow freely, not 溢れ出る. That has more a meaning of freely flowing out of something/somewhere.

I was wondering what the kanji on the cleaning supply box for my katana mean =)
the second one means katana/sword, that's the only one I know

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

I was wondering what the kanji on the cleaning supply box for my katana mean =)

御 is an honorific modifying "sword"
手入 means "maintenance"
具 means "tools" or "supplies"

Hope this helps!

 

[ningen]

Is there any meaning in 御? or is it just standing in front of 刀 because it can?

 

[undrentide]

Mikawa Ossan already answered it:

御 is an honorific modifying "sword"
手入 means "maintenance"
具 means "tools" or "supplies"

Hope this helps!

Honorific prefixes

御 and 具 seems incorrect. I wonder if it's a Japanese kanji...:emoji_fearful:

 

[ningen]

these were on a shirt, but i really have no idea of what they can mean
can someone here tell me please?

 

[Glenn]

"Bean goose" and "equilibrium"? Doesn't make any sense to me, and Google turns up next to nothing.
