It looks to me like おかず means something like a side dish/dish of some sort. So the sentence would read something like:
-Grandma, we've only eaten rice the past few days, there haven't been any other dishes.
-Well, tomorrow there won't even be rice.
Did you read the で as a 'by means of'? Seems to me more like an 'and so' connector in that sentence.
I've only seen 子 translated as children (both genders). Who they were in this passage I have no idea. That's just from the language aspect.Using "子", does not neccessarly mean he is refering to girls, but this is why I need more information, as he could be refering to two people and him being one of them, you would really have to ask the poster what he was thinking.
The short version of the story would be that someone who pretended to know Japanese, said to be the translation for "thanks for existing" since I had my doubts I thought I could ask here.I'm afraid it does not make sense.
既存 means (already) existing. Where did you find this sentence? Any context?
"子" can be used for any age, not just kids, usually it is in regards someone close to you like a friend or a brother or sister, but can also be used to address someone that is younger or below you regardless of your age. Eg, If there was someone in their fifties and they were addressing a "後輩" that was only a year younger than them they could use "あの子" without any problem at all. It is probably a little softer on the ears than "あいつ".I've only seen 子 translated as children (both genders). Who they were in this passage I have no idea. That's just from the language aspect.
Still waiting to see the whole conversation???Hello
The passage below is taken from a conversation on a message board discussing how well accepted female gamers are in society. The speaker is expressing his opinion that guys are generally interested when girls bring up the topic of video games.

とともに Both, or two things happening togetherApologies, kind of a dry question. In the following example why is answer C, 伴って correct?
留学に （ ） ビザの申請が必要になる。
a) とともに b) したがって c) 伴って d) つれて
Obviously A is incorrect because に doesnt go before とともに
I ruled out D because 留学 is not a 'change' word. My current understanding is that for a noun to go before につれて, the noun must involve change, like 変化、発展、上達.
That leaves B and C. I don't really understand why its not B, したがって. Can someone explain this for me?
It is correct if you want to focus on who was chosen - "it is me, not others". If it is just a statement, 私はリーダーに選ばれた would be better.How do you say 'I am chosen as the leader'? I came up with 私がリーダーに選ばれた, but am not sure if it's correct.
That is more than correct even though your English sentence is in the present tense and your Japanese sentence in the past tense. We Japanese would almost never say that sentence in the present tense, so I have to say that you are correct.
When I learnt passive form, i was told to use が to mark the object. so は can also be used?It is correct if you want to focus on who was chosen - "it is me, not others". If it is just a statement, 私はリーダーに選ばれた would be better.
どうしてそうなったのだろう is one way, but what is it you're really trying to say ??hi,
may i know how do u say " why did things turn out to be/become like that? "
thanks in advance!!!
There are times を can be used as well. Is there any tense/conjugation that takes only one particle in every case ??when i learnt passive form, i was told to use が to mark the object. so は can also be used?
どうしてそうなったのだろう is one way, but what is it you're really trying to say ?? :emoji_blush:
Some structural questions:
順序だてて考えれば
Where does the だてて come from?
皮肉としかとれないなあ
Is the と (after 皮肉) used as a quoting particle? Why is it needed? And is とれない the same as 取れない?
hey guys can anyone please help me translate these in japanese...
-- snip! ---
thanks in advance!!! cheers!
Ahh, I get it now. Thanks Undrentide.順序だてて＝順序＋立てて
...
皮肉ととる
First, 社会に出たら、自分の行動には責任を持たなければならない。Hello everyone, just wondering if the meaning of the translation is correct:
社会に出たら、自分の行動には責任を持たなければならない。
-> If you want to enter society, your actions must have responsibilities in them.
And "deru" is a strange verb to be.. it can mean enter, but it can mean get out.. is that correct?
Thanks!
I wouldn't say "enter" exactly if you mean interchangable with "hairu." "Come out into" "come forth into" maybe are very similar to what you meant but with the added nuance on "appearing" or "becoming visible" as opposed to "coming into" (a place, situation) -- if that makes any sense in English...Hello everyone, just wondering if the meaning of the translation is correct:

What does "demo" mean?? Sorry , I'm a beginner at Japanese...
Just to add to Elisabeth's post, "出る" can be used say for example, "To enter a tournament" 。。。 "試合に出る"。 But as Elisabeth said it can not be interchanged with "入る"。 I hope that helps too.Thanks a lot Dave-san and Elizabeth-san!
