As Glenn points out, そうだのに is ungrammatical. It has to be そうなのに. Still, I'd probably use けど (そうですけど；そうだけど） instead of のに here. のに suggests a really strong contradiction that doesn't seem to fit in this situation (though I'd need more context to say for sure).J44xm said:こんばんは。この文は正しいですか: 「そうだのにもっとする積もりです。」 "Even though that's so, I intend to do more" is what I'm trying to say. ありがとう。
Yeah, this sounds like まだしたい事がたくさんある or there are still aJ44xm said:こんばんは。この文は正しいですか: 「そうだのにもっとする積もりです。」 "Even though that's so, I intend to do more" is what I'm trying to say. ありがとう。
Yeah, it completely depends on what he was trying to say with 「もっとする」... This is why context is so important, and why "How do I say [...] in Japanese?" is almost always a more complicated question than the elementary-level student realizes.Elizabeth said:Yeah, this sounds like まだしたい事がたくさんある or there are still a
lot of things I want to do, which may be more general than the そう is standing for.
What's the context here? Is this from one of GoldCoinLover's Japanese game-chatroom posts?Elizabeth said:逆にチャットがないのが「ハンドルで語る」と言うゲーマー魂を育成するのですね.
Does anyone know what ハンドルで語る is referring to in this sentence ?
It sounds like it could be any chat room or forum/bulletin board with
user names or handles, but that doesn't really make sense given the context...Or maybe I'm just tired. It's been too much of a day of this. :--)
Yes, it was one of the first he posted, so that is my only context as well.What's the context here? Is this from one of GoldCoinLover's Japanese game-chatroom posts?
Lacking any real context to go on, I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark on this one... That it's talking about an online game, probably an RPG, and how this game's lack of a "chatroom" type feature (i.e. out-of-character chat) might encourage gamers instead to speak within the game world, using their handles. (And this sort of action is being described as ゲーマー魂... i.e. that's the true gamer's spirit, getting in character and whatnot)
Again, the above is a complete stab in the dark. Native speakers and more advanced learners are more than welcome (and encouraged, in fact) to tear my interpretation to pieces.
I assume that the reason that you'd want to wish someone a happy new year "weeks before" the actual new year is because you anticipate that you won't be seeing the person again until well after January 1st. In that case, I think you'd be safe with 「良いお年を」 (yoi o-toshi wo) or the long version 「良いお年をお迎え下さい」 (yoi o-toshi wo o-mukae kudasai). The latter is the more formal-sounding of the two.Dekamaster said:How do you say Happy New Year in Japanese ? I have read that "akemashite omedeto gozaimasu" but I believe this is only used during New Year's day itself. What could I use if I am to greet some weeks before New Year's day ?
The の that's throwing you is just the regular old "turn-a-clause-into-a-noun-phrase" の. It's specifically stating that the fact that the game doesn't have a chat feature is going to encourage what's being described... or in more natural English, the game's lack of a chat feature, maybe.Elizabeth said:Yes, it was one of the first he posted, so that is my only context as well.
And your take on it within the gaming world makes perfect sense.
The part I was having trouble understanding was the placement of the
のが and still don't really get the difference I suppose. I keep looking at it more like 逆にチャットなしの「ハンドルで語る」というのがゲーマー魂を育成するのですね.

Yes, I guess then that the using their handles part ハンドルで語る can be thought of as the game itself. I've obviously never personally never played or had any real interest in them. The first bit about not having a chat feature I'm grammatically fine with.The の that's throwing you is just the regular old "turn-a-clause-into-a-noun-phrase" の.
