English Translation(s)

[Elizabeth]

Narau and manabu are fine, it's just that learning is something which takes place over a longer period of time. It sounds funny somehow to do it within a day, unless you honestly feel you can master English by this evening.

 

[Golgo_13]

How can I sayﾂ「 ﾅｽ窶樞?堙最ｽc窶堋ｳ窶堙ｪ窶堋ｽ窶愿ｺ窶堙娯?吮??窶堙??ｰpﾅ津ｪ窶堙ｰﾅ?w窶堙披?堙や?堙?窶堙ｨ窶堙??堋ｷﾂ。ﾂ」?

The problem is with "ﾅｽc窶堋ｳ窶堙ｪ窶堋ｽ窶愿ｺ窶堙娯?吮??窶堙?" You don't want to translate it literally. You could say "atode Eigo o benkyou suru tsumori desu"

"I'll spend some time studying English later on in the day."

 

[Elizabeth]

'I plan (or intend) to spend (or I plan on spending) the remainder of the day studying English' is also very elegant and concise if you're being questioned about your plans or schedule for the day. "I'll spend some time later on today (or in the day) studying English" is a little more forceful than Golgo's example, but of course it really does all depend on the context.

Maybe, Mac, you should work up a little dialogue instead of isolated sentences that would fit more naturally together and we could be of more help that way

"I'll spend some time studying English later on in the day."
Hmm. "later on"? or "on in the day"? Hmm.

I will say just "I'm going to study English later".
I wanna learn the difficult one though. :-( Hmm...

Oh everyone... would you please stop posting for now?
I need to translate and understand Elizabeth's sentences and the others.(^^;;

I don't hear that expression too often. When I have heard it, I thought it meant "it has lasted until today."

If a boss wants something done by the end of the day, he would say to his employee "kyou-juu ni tanomimasu."

 

[Elizabeth]

That makes sense. Mine was simply an online translation. Sometime later today or later in the day then is most naturally ﾅｽc窶堋ｳ窶堙ｪ窶堋ｽ(ﾅｽc窶堙≫?堙?？ﾂ）窶愿ｺ窶吮??窶堙可、ﾂ債｡窶愿ｺ窶堙娯?吮??窶堙可？

Another very bad speech habit to fall into is the repetitious use of the phrase "You know?" Even some very educated people do this . . . "you know? you know? you know. You know?" but don't do it. It's poor English. I sometimes get so annoyed I say "No, I don't know. That's why you are going to tell me." If you get stuck in your thought, pause as long as you need to find the right words to say what you want. I once worked as a waiter at a sushi bar in NYC many years ago, and all the owner could ever seem to say was "You know like?"

This is very similar to the speech habit some Japanese have of saying "yappari" over and over again.

I have a joke that there are 4 words that will answer any question in Japanese: "Soudesune, maa, anou, yahari."

"to say" is a verb (doushi?), and the addition of "ing" makes that verb a "gerund", a noun (meishi?) that expresses an action.

[Mac]

Hello.

You can call me just "Mac".

Hehe. Yep. I really appreciate your help.

hmm "say" is a verb(doushi). "to say" = huteishi?
hehe I want to know how to say that in English.
noun = meishi gerund = doumeishi

Oh, I wanted to know how to translate these sentences which are used "...have of ~ing...". Hehe.
a map of China, the tail of the cat, the cat of the picture, et cetera....
I can understand these a little. But.... "of" is still difficult to me.

 

[Golgo_13]

a map of China = Chuugoku no chizu,

the tail of the cat = neko no shippo,

the cat of the picture . . . doesn't look right.

If it's "the cat in the picture" = e no naka no neko

"picture of the cat" = neko no e.

I don't nwo what huteishi is. "say" and "to say" are both considered verbs.

 

[Mac]

How about "He has of saying it."
the cat of the picture = sono e no neko. Isn't it?
Oh wait a minute. I like the cat in the picrue is the proper sentence?
I think so a little.... :-(

to play, to study, to learn et cetera.
They are called "huteishi" in Japan. that's it.

 

[Golgo_13]

>How about "He has of saying it."

That's incomplete. "He has a habit of saying it" (kare wa sore o iu kuse ga aru)

the cat of the picture = sono e no neko. Isn't it?

Yes, if it's "the cat of this picture" or "the cat of that picture". Makes it more specific.

Oh wait a minute. I like the cat in the picrue is the proper sentence?

Yes, that means "E/shashin ni utsutte iru neko"

 

[Mac]

"the" and "of" are still difficult to me. hehe

OK. Thank you, Golgo.

I wanted to know about "if you want to" as well. (^^;;
I had no confidence about it.
"Please email me, if you want to."
And....ﾂ「窶堙?窶堋ｵ窶堋?窶堙遺?堋ｽ窶堋ｪ窶堋ｵ窶堋ｽ窶堋ｯ窶堙ｪ窶堙篠」
Do not need "do" in the last sentence.... OK.

Boku no ba'ai wa "if you want to" to wa anmari iwanaidesune. Douse surun yattara yaritai kara surunyaka. Shitakunai koto o shite to iuwakeja naikara. "Please e-mail me" dake de iito omou kedo. "moshi dekireba" (if you can) wa yoku iu kedo "Please e-mail me if you can".

Kore wa tada no sukizuki na dake. Tadashii ka douka no mondai ja naikara.

"Nizukuri" is specifically packing for travelling.

For moving as well? When we've packed for travel or moving I've never heard my SO use this term.

Someone I spoke with last night about this made the distinction of 'nizukuri' being used more for moving and 'jumbi' for trip preparations. I've used tsumekomu in the past, but I gather that is the more generic term -- anything stuffed, crammed, jammed or shoved in an alloted space.
