The original sentence in the English is "My wallet is old, but it has new money in it." but your sentence says that the wallet is new. Was this an oversight on your part or am I not understanding something here?
Wallet is 財布, and かさ is umbrella or parasol.
財布は新しいけど、中のお金は新札です。
Especially this. It's best to not use them at first, until you get a feel for them from native speakers.1. Lose all the よs and ねs.
Note that ひどい is an い -adj. so it should be conjugated properly.他の家はそんなひどいじゃないですから、ちょっと辞めるべきでしょうね！
I would say something more like 子どもは学校からの帰る時間が長かったので、日焼けしてしまいました。子どもは学校から帰る期間が長かったですね。無量日焼けを得ましたよ。
I guess I did get quite a bit carried away there...Lose all the よs and ねs.
Honestly, I didn't even think about that. So the retconned answer is: supernatural, invisible black lights.How are they getting sunburned in the dark?
Oh! That's good to know. Thanks!得る sounds like they wanted sunburns.
But to clarify, do you mean that I shouldn't have been using those at all in this context, or just that I shouldn't have been using them so liberally?
Whoops. Bad habits die hard, I suppose...Note that ひどい is an い -adj. so it should be conjugated properly.
I don't quite understand where the disconnect is. So is it an incorrect usage, or an incorrect interpretation of what it means?Also, even though I understand your intended phrase in English by "quit", it doesn't necessarily translate the same in Japanese. From the bold font I guess you're trying to use 辞, but 辞めるべき means "should quit" in a stern way, and is often used toward one's own actions (e.g. "I'd better quit cheating on the weekly quizzes in class, or else I'll get caught and punished").
Ah yes, definitely. I never use the kanji and should've realized that and just written in hiragana in my example sentence. I need more review, too!There was an earlier post (I think of yours) where 辞める was also used, when the preferred kanji would have been 止める or simply やめる.
...
My sense is that some writers will simply write やめる when they wish to express the idea that some action is being ended or suspended, rather than risk the split-second of uncertainty which arises from using 止める.
I think the Japanese is incorrect usage, in that it doesn't make sense here. Have you studied 〜た方がいい（ほうがいい）and 〜べき to express "should do ~" yet? It's easy to see the meanings in a dictionary etc. and mistakenly think they can be used interchangeably. The sentence you wrote in English doesn't really come through in the Japanese translation (I'm assuming you wrote everything in English first).I don't quite understand where the disconnect is. So is it an incorrect usage, or an incorrect interpretation of what it means?
I believe it was her original post which I revised.Just to clarify, I was speaking to JuliMaruchan about 辞める. I thought I saw this same mistake in a very recent post. Somebody else corrected it... I'll have to dig around to find it.
No. It's one of those things I just looked up on the Internet months ago, and my source ended up being a Yahoo Answers post (in English).Have you studied 〜た方がいい（ほうがいい）and 〜べき to express "should do ~" yet? It's easy to see the meanings in a dictionary etc. and mistakenly think they can be used interchangeably.
No, the Japanese was first. One sentence at a time, I was picking three random kanji and challenging myself to write sentences with as many of those kanji as possible. So I'm combining kanji recognition and writing practice with grammar practice in the format of a game.The sentence you wrote in English doesn't really come through in the Japanese translation (I'm assuming you wrote everything in English first).
No, you were right. That's exactly what I meant. The house is alive.家 means house as a construction, not residents, in your sentence, so I initially thought you were talking about a horror story like a Japanese movie ハウス.
Half of that sentence is beyond by comprehension, if you can believe it, but the reason I went with a living house is to me, writing about nonsensical things like that is more engaging than just writing realistic sentences.I recommend making shorter and more common sentences, e.g. 暗くなってから家に帰ったので、親に怒られた。 I was scolded by my parents for coming home after dark.
Half of that sentence is beyond by comprehension,
True, I should have.Then you need to tell us which half so we can help you with it. It was written in a very simple style with very simple grammar that you should have had down years ago.
May I ask your idea regarding this から?the use of "から" (I only learned から as "because", though I can see the logic behind the way it's used there)
ので means "because" similar to から. の and で are from a nominalizer and the particle for cause/reason, respectively.ので (I assume the て form of のだ?)
What I assume it means, you mean? What it looks like to me is that it means something like "after". But I never would have guessed that without the English translation, and I'm not confident in this guess at any rate.May I ask your idea regarding this から?
No. More specifically, I only know about the latter at all. I never learned to use から with the て form.Also, do you know the difference between なってから and なったから ?
