I think the "fighting" is a bit redundant. Maybe "fighting styles" would be better? If memory serves me correctly, strictly speaking, "martial arts" would be 武芸, so it seems that there should be a different way of referring to 格闘技. But maybe I'm just being idealistic.
When one says 武術・武芸・武道、it normally means traditional Japanese sports such as 剣道、柔道、馬術、etc.I wasn't sure, because martial arts covers so many different "styles", including the use of different weapons.
Isn't 武道, ぶどう, more commonly used or accepted as the common phrase/word for "martial arts" instead of 武芸, ぶげい?
Well, I, for one, found it informative. Thanks.
Please correct me if there are any mistakes(How about translating this to Japanese too!!!)

To my eyes the combination of 女性 and 侍 looks extremely odd.I translated "Lady Samurai" with free translation and "女性侍" came out. Unfortunately, I can't read Japanese. Please help me out. Is that translation correct (I've learned olts aren't to be trusted)? If so, what's the romanji/romaji text? If not, what's the correct translation?
Without context all we can say its literal meaning."ついに墜ちた" anyone?
I think it has a deeper meaning in usage other than something like "Finally falling" or something.
TIA!
Mikawa-san is probably right, hearing that it was being used in reference to websites.Am I wrong in saying that "ochiru" is used when someone leaves a chat room?
去年11月、富士山に行きましたが、会えませんでした。>今年もいますか？Can I get some help constructing this paragraph in Japanese? What I want to say is this:
"I was at Fuji in November last year, but didn't get a chance to meet you. Will you be there again this year?"
So far this is what I've come up with. Any comments on the accuracy?
去年11月わフジ山にいました、 けれどもあいましたでわありません。
今年もいますか?
～てる is contracted form of ～ている.Hi all, just a quick question. I keep hearing things like "shiteru", "tsuzuketeru", etc.. are they just a quicker version of, say, "shite iru" and "tsuzukete iru"? That is, the い bit of 'いる' is just not said at all?
Tame is OK grammatically but pretty formal. Tabeche is news to me so to speak. The intended meaning looks like it should be tabete. Anyway, you may have had to switch modes dramatically if you weren't sure of another way to say it. "I must not eat that" gives me the impression of a dietary restriction as opposed to being on a weight loss plan.Hi everybody!
I wanted to say:
I can't eat that, it is against my diet.
--> "Diet" no tame, sore o tabeche wa ikenai.
~~~
Is that correct? Did I get the "no tame" right?
