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?
Yes, but diet, I think, classes as a noun, and even when an adjective:
to diet
it is different than:
to lose weight
dark_secrester said:Is my member title, 死はすきです。 Correct for 'Death is lovable', as it is a member title it should be assumed that I think it is lovable. Is there a better way to write it? And for those that don't have Japanese fonts installed who might be able to help, or might not understand the kanji 死 shi for death, "shi wa suki desu." is what is written.
Yeah, I was talking about the 'tabete wa ikenai' part in particular seemed like an order not to eat a particular food. Anyway, there are several ways it can be put.Definition/meaning of the word "daietto" is much narrower than that of "diet" in English.
When one say "daietto" it means to lose one's weight by limiting what one eats, both noun "daietto" and verb "daietto-suru".
ﾅ陳ｸﾂ食 does mean to decrease the amount of what one eats, but it is not used commonly. If written in kanji, people will of course understand what you're talking about, but if when used in speech (normal conversation), it may take some seconds before they realise that you're actually talking about "daietto".
Ah, Now I see the flaws of using 減食.
Ok, yes, I am aiming for 'I like death'. Didn't know if I should use ga or ha...
So what should I put it as?
yoroshiku onegai shimasu.
(I would write in kana but I'm not using an IME right now... I copied 減食 from my previous post...)
"Dake de" is sort of a set construction or phrase so I agree with the "it is only/just...and" interpretation. Or, I suppose it could be expressing a limitation on the amount, like for quantity you would say "zenbu de" minna de" (everything/everyone together). De used as a causal reason, "owing to" or or "due to" motive (で as short for ので） is a much more limited and specific usage pointing to a direct cause for the following outcome so I don't think that makes much sense in this example.結婚式や葬式は一回だけで、繰り返さないようにしたいというわけです。
If I can, I'd love to have someone confirm the meaning of "dake de" in this sentence. I'm currently seeing it as (BY being only one time..). However, would it make sense for it to be "and" as the -form of desu? Those are the only two possibilities that make sense to me. Anyway, below is what I believe the sentence to mean at the moment.
"(The reason is that) By being only one time, (we) want to try not to repeat funerals and weddings."
I've sat on this question for the past few days and I'm 65% sure I'm correct. I'll be crossing my fingers.

I'm not drunk anymore, but still running waaayy behind this morning as usual...
Overall it is about unrequited love.Could you please translate this for me? I've been trying to type this out for a really long time and finally i got to it...now, i just need to figure out what it means. LOL! it's the first part of a note that I want to translate..

今感じる冷たさ、12 月なのに雪はまだふらない、なんでだろう？むなしさが今、
心にじみじみとしみ込んで来る、したいのに愛せない、かなうはずのない恋；信
じたい、かなつ てほしい,でも言えない.
I guess there are various ways to say these sentences above...I would like to know how to say the following. These are things I can see myself saying, thus remembering them. Hiragana and Katakana I understand. I know only about 160 kanji or so but have a hard time putting them together in sentences. Must study more! Thanks guys!
Overall it is about unrequited love.
I think it's 「心にしみじみ」, not 「じみじみ」
thanks a lot for your help
i'm just beginning to learn japanese and i don't know how long it's going to take to figure this out
医学専門用語だと、検便がいいと思います。A simple, if not odd question: how would one say "stool sample," such as a doctor might request?
It's not translated literally in Japanese.A simple, if not odd question: how would one say "stool sample," such as a doctor might request?
I've never heard of the name Tae in Japanese, but you can use "hime" for 'lady'. Just remember that the "hime" goes after the name. Tae-hime is OK. Hime-Tae is not.I'm making a character for a role play/Samurai Warriors 2: Empires named Andō (Andou) Tae. However, she goes by Lady Tae. Two questions: a) Is Tae an actual name (I read somewhere that Leiko isn't real; thought I'd check)? b) How would I write 'Lady Tae'?
Here are the translations free dict gives for 'lady': obasan, redi-, okugata, reifujin, touji, redi, shukujo, kijo, and kifujin. I'm going for something like Nōhime
「糞便、糞便検査」というのも、 よく、日本人医師が使いそうな言葉ですか？It's not translated literally in Japanese.
The term used is "stool examination" 検便（けんべん）
Rather than using straightforward translation for it, we say:
検便する (undergo such examination)
検便の容器を提出する (submit the "kenben" container)
Is this of any help?
