Probably "about 30 lines." That's just an educated guess, though. What you get when you compound lines 行 and about 程度...together :emoji_blush: ぎょうていどこれは30行程度の長文を読みなさい。
This is a sentence posted above a large article in a book of Learning Japanese. I feel like I get the gist of it, but can't be certain of the meaning behind "koutei do"
30行程度 = 30 (Times?) As in "Read this long article 30 times"
Can anyone confirm my guess? :emoji_blush:
Yes, 行（ぎょう）means line(s). (Cf. 欄（らん） column)Probably "about 30 lines." That's just an educated guess, though. What you get when you compound lines 行 and about 程度...together :emoji_blush: ぎょうていど
Yes, 行（ぎょう）means line(s). (Cf. 欄（らん） column)
程度（ていど）：About; around that (i.e., the specified) level
Well it certainly depends on who you are talking to.Simple little request here, how exactly in Japanese do you say 'Shut Up' in case you need to say it to someone.
If possible can it be written in english text as I get loads of little squares on here, and the easiest way to pronounce it so I can learn to say it and surprise someone in the future if I need to tell someone to Shut Up lol.
Many thanks.
行 and 程度？ I think around or about is not the usual meaning 程度 is used forAh, I actually knew the word "teido" but failed to make the connection since I hadn't seen the kanji before.
The combination of those two words seems a bit strange, but obviously it's just a matter of working it out in my mind.
Yes, that's exactly the problem I was having. Even going back and forth from my kanji dictionary and my main English/Japanese dictionary, there was only "行程" which roughly means "length". So naturally I was scratching my head quite a bit.行 and 程度？ I think around or about is not the usual meaning 程度 is used for
so it's difficult to find that they could be paired by a normal dictionary.
文章の感じからすると、どんなコンテキストで書かれているかな。。。
All you can be sure is that it is not everyday conversational with the ending in なさい and the beginning in これは (instead of この。。。）"文章の感じからすると、どんなコンテキストで書かれているかな。。。"
Yes, that's the question I should always be asking myself - and I actually remember to do it.. sometimes!

そうですね。程度 is commonly used for about/around and usually used in writing.
Its colloquial version is 程（ほど）, which is similar to くらい.
そうですね。
「程度」も、同じく「Extent, degree ・ approximation, around」という意味で使えますが、
たいてい、about/around という意味は、英和・和英辞書には載っていないと思います。
先月、新幹線の中で眠っている間に、私が一番好きな辞書は盗まれてしまったけど。。。。
ありがとうございます。ええ？日本へいくのはめずらしくないんですか。それなら、面白いだと思います。
しかし、ざんねんですね、あなたの辞書のこと。
ばんぐみめい1. 番組名
ごふんかん、はんとしかん2. 5分間、半年間 etc.. (is it 『かん』、『けん』or 『あいだ』
ま3. あやしい間を作る - (the context is that a person keeps making strange pauses in between his sentences)
I don't care (what happens)1. どうなろうとしったことじゃない
こう言っては何だが is a phrase meaning "I hate to say it, but..."こう言ってはなんだが - (the なんだが part is often encountered but the precise 'meaning' given to the sentence is unclear)
These two I can't tell for sure. There may be a typo in the first case. In the second, there are at least two possibilities I can think of regarding what "shimeru" means. More information required!大きく拡大すると波う - (I have checked 『波う』but it doesn't show up in the dictionary. Is it incorrect or just uncommon?
この絵にしめる余地があります - (judging from the context, it would seem like 『しめる』means 'improve'. I hope the readers won't have trouble because of the lack of further context.
I think both are possible, although I must admit I feel uncomfortable with them...This is really simple, but I simply can't figure out how to say "jog to school." None of my resources have any such 例文 either (they're all "I jog everyday" types of sentences) and it's starting to get under my skin. I tried Google searches to find frequently used phrases, but still no luck.

１．書きできないが、読みできる。こんにちは皆さん! I got a short question..
is it better to write 書きできないが、読みできる。 or 書くことは出来ないが、読むことができる。 or, 書けないが、読める。
I'm not too sure about the difference between them..
皆さんよろしくおねがいしますね！
also, this is a repost of the post i mistakenly posted on the "delving into grammar thread", sorry for any inconvenience!
文法的ですが、不自然なわけですか。それで、日本語でどうやって自然に表現できますか。I think both are possible, although I must admit I feel uncomfortable with them...
簡潔で良いと思うのですが、「ジョギングして行く 」でなく「走っていく」かもしれませんね。 （笑い文法的ですが、不自然なわけですか。それで、日本語でどうやって自然に表現できますか。
そうなのですか。まあ、最初から言えば良かったですが、僕は最近ジョギングをし始めたのを伝えたいです。 The basic thought I'm going for is that, for the first time, "I jogged to Seiyu, ate lunch there, and then jogged back to school." つまり、ジョギングをしていたのを強調したいですが、僕の言いたいことは直接に言えませんか。簡潔で良いと思うのですが、「ジョギングして行く 」でなく「走っていく」かもしれませんね。 （笑い
ありがとうございます。可哀相な辞書ですね。
しかしながら、本当に面白かったんですよ。

そして、その話を聞いたときの私の年配のホームステイ家族の反応はどうでしたか？
すぐ、偏見が明るみに出てしまったよね。
彼らは、「その人は、イタリア人、イタリア人であると言って非難しました。
もちろん、沢山の悪い日本の人もいますが、彼らはそんな小さなものをほとんど盗まないと思います。
