How do I say?

[nikki_the_insane]

Look to the stars in romaji?

 

[Elizabeth]

Look to the stars for what? A literal translation would probably get you something more like "look towards the stars" or "stare up at the stars..."

 

[nikki_the_insane]

Umm, just the phrase look to the stars, I guess the romaji look towards the stars would work too.

 

[mdchachi]

Do you mean literally? If so, then how about:

hoshi he miyou
or
sora he miyou

 

[nikki_the_insane]

hmm, i wouldn't really know. this one translator site said it was rukkutsuu za sutaasu. i think there is some extra letters and stuff like that.

that translation is based on katakana/hiragana not kanji...

 

[Elizabeth]

Hard to believe it is either kanji or kana-based . Is this an actual online text translation service?

 

[Shigatsu]

rukkutsuu za sutaasu

could be...

rukk tsuu za staarsu.

heeeee

 

[jeisan]

yeah good point shigatsu i think theres meant to be a space there too
"rukku tsuu za sutaasu" but its still a phonetic translation, rather than a real one.

But drawing this expression to one logical conclusion, doesn't something like "hoshi he mi ni ikimashou" mean literally "let's go up to the stars and look at them through a spaceship?" Not simply go outside and look as it comes across in English....

 

[nata_no]

How bout this sentence?
ne, hoshi o mite
hey, look at the stars

 

[Elizabeth]

Yeah, along with "hoshi wo nagamete" (眺めて : watch, look, gaze up at) are both perfectly natural.

 

[bakadesu]

I'm not sure it would have the idiomatic connotation you're looking for, though.

 

[shannon]

how do you say

i love you

thanks,
shannon

 

[Arashi]

^ Well, the Japanese way is "suki desu/da." ( like [you])

The overly super-emotional oh-my-God-I'm-probably-going-to-jilt-you-someday way is "ai shiteru." ( am in love [with you])

The [] things are implied.

I think the translator was under Bisqwit's Translation tools. I don't think they are very acurate. Does anyone know of an acurate one?
