Need a word or phrase translated?

[Ramuke]

おげんきですか。げんきでした。Is this right?
That's really all I have :/ as you can probably see the rest is a little advanced But is the particle をused in front of a verb? I am pretty sure it is but I can't remember TY

 

[Toritoribe]

おげんきですか。げんきでした。Is this right?

おげんきですか。わたしはげんきです。

げんきでした can be misinterpreted as "I was fine, but I am not fine now".

But is the particle をused in front of a verb?

を basically indicates the direct object of the verb, so it's atached right after the object rather than preceding the verb.

[Wanderer]

To translate literally:
あなたがそれを好きになることを約束します．
あなたはそれを好きになるでしょう．
More commonly:
（それを）好きになるに違いありません．or 間違いなく（それを）好きになります．
好きになるでしょう．or 好きになります．

Thank you very much

I have been great. How have you been?
I am glad you enjoyed your stay and that your safe.
We miss you and your friends in our school. I'll never forget the fun times we had.
I can not wait to go to Japan. I am going next year with my class.
Hopefully I will see you there. I am sure I will love Japan.
I hope you come back to Australia so I can see you again.
きにいってくれてうれしい
にほんにいきます。 Would I need future tense for this?
ちかいうちにあえるといいのです。
わたしはにほんおあいする or is it だいすくいです。
きみがいなくてとってもさみしいよ. I think friends is ともだちbut I'm not sure where I would put it in. Would I use the と after "you"?
わたしはけしてあなたをわすれません。I'm not sure where I would put fun in, in that sentence.
I'm trying to write the English in Japanese. If I've missed anything could you please add it in It's because I have no clue how to say it) I know its a lot but if anyone is willing to help I'd be very grateful Ty (Sorry for my bad Japanese)

 

[Toritoribe]

きみがいなくてとってもさみしいよ. I think friends is ともだちbut I'm not sure where I would put it in. Would I use the と after "you"?

Yes, but きみときみのともだちが is better. きみとともだちが can mean "you and my friend".

Is everything else good?

 

[Toritoribe]

I'm afraid they aren't. I just answered a concrete, the most easy-to-answer question.

 

[Grandia1017]

Help! Need translation..

What is the meaning of these sentences?

samishii dayo..mou philippines ni kairetai dayo..dou suro no?dare mo inai.. naiteru..:'(

And also what does 'kairetai' means?

Thanks a lot!

 

[Glenn]

It's clearly not a native speaker, but what they're shooting for is "I'm lonlely. I want to go back to the Philippines. What should I do? There's no one (here (I assume)). I'm crying."

Kairetai must mean 帰りたい (kaeritai).

その例も否定的なニュアンスを帯びているのでは？それが「なんだかんだ言う」と「～とか何とか言う」の用法の違いですから。

肯定的かどうかは微妙ですが

１）なんだかんだ言っても、わが社の№１は吉田君だよね。
２）先週はなんだかんだで忙しかったよ。

 

[Toritoribe]

前者の「なんだかんだ」は明らかに否定的です。周りが何言おうと結局は、というような意味ですから。「ても」という逆接の助詞もそれを表していますね。

後者は範疇外です。「なんだかんだ」単独ではなく、あくまで「なんだかんだ言う」が否定的ニュアンスだと言っただけですから。ただ、その例でもやはり「厄介事」という否定的なニュアンスを含んでいると思いますが。

否定的とは言えない例としては「なんだかんだで上手く行った」なんかがあるでしょうね。（ただし「なんだかんだあったが上手く行った」だと否定的。）

I would strongly consider running a basic composition, spaced as individual sentences, through one of the online translator services like Google or Niftygate. It will be rough and inaccurate, just a bunch of phrases that are not truly grammatical; but at least you can find easily equivalent Japanese words from English and vice versa. Several of the terms as it is are so out of the ball park the recipient is going to have trouble piecing together a coherent meaning. Then bring the automated version back to us for a human touch to make it flow like the advanced beginner you can become.

誰か他の人はそんな否定的だとは思わなかったのですけど。。Torisanのが私のよりもよいですね。。。


｢否定的な偏り]を中心におき､｢肯定的偏り｣を二義的に載せているかも｡

That is what I did. :emoji_confused:

そして月日は自分勝手に流れ。
Would this be translated as something like, "And time flows selfishly"?
It sounds a little awkward, so I just wanted to make sure.

 

[Toritoribe]

Yes. Probably it means something like "without regard to our will/feelings".

Wonderful, thank you.

This is the Nifty translation system interspersed with my own minor edits. Still far from perfect, though, so don't study too hard ! ;-)

お元気ですか?
ごゆっくりご滞在いただけましたか？
学校で友人がいなくて寂しいです。 私は私たちが過したおもしろい時を決して忘れないでしょう。
日本に行くのを待つことができません。 来年、クラスを伴います。
うまくいけば、そこでお目にかかります。 日本がとても好きでしょう。
再びあなたに会うことができるようにオーストラリアに戻ることを願っています。

Hello,

need some help on these :

ボンクラ: 賭場（盆）にうとい（暗い）人

Bonkura : a dark person who plays in casino.
（盆） ???

And about a card in hanafuda : pikaichi

花札の中に一枚だけある゛光物゛という点の高い札のこと。

In Hanafuda, in one hand, the only card (the seven) that worth a lot of points is called "Hikari mono" (the shining one).

Is that correct?

Thank you ^^

 

[Toritoribe]

ボンクラ: 賭場（盆）にうとい（暗い）人
Bonkura : a dark person who plays in casino.
（盆） ???

a person who doesn't know much about gambling parlor

暗い means "not acquainted with" in this case.

And about a card in hanafuda : pikaichi
花札の中に一枚だけある゛光物゛という点の高い札のこと。
In Hanafuda, in one hand, the only card (the seven) that worth a lot of points is called "Hikari mono" (the shining one).

All the clause and pｈrases 「花札の中に一枚だけある」, 「゛光物゛という」, 「点の高い」 are modifying 札.

the only one high-point card in Hanafuda which is called "Hikarimono"


BTW, I didn't know the etymologies of those words. Thanks.

 

[Lotorie]

Thank you very much for your help Toritobe.
