Ummm... can somebody translate them for me?
仕事をするようになったら、セミナーに参加する。
I'm not sure if the above sentence means exactly what I wanted to say. I wanted to say "When I get a job, I will apply for a seminar/course".
Also, what does this sentence mean:
新しい写真では良いものがない。
まさに or 正に used in the same way as "truly" or "certainly" to emphasize a fact.
ひと昔 literally means "an age ago" but it usually is defined as "one decade ago." In the past, it referred to longer spans of time such as 17, 21 or 33 years. (Cf. 十年一昔）
Your translation is faithful in the literal sense, but I feel that you haven't linked the latter part まさにひと昔の世代だ correctly. The subject is the woman, and the sentence describes her. She lived in the 20th century (in the sense that she witnessed 20th-century history unfold) and belongs to the generation of an age ago.Ah, so I suppose it would mean "She lived her life together with the 20th century, truly the generation of an age."?
In any case, thank you for explaining 'masa ni'.
二十世紀とともに人生を生きた、まさにひと昔の世代だ 。
What you posted is not exactly a full sentence but a phrase (maybe part of an advertising copy?)tokapi;514126 said:Is this sentence grammatically accurate,色々な北海道の海産食品に空輸直送で ( Directly airfreight variety of Hokkaido seafood ) ?
Thanks in advance
Hmmm...how aboutSorry to interrupt your convo.. would someone please try answering my question in page 205 about "Stealing My Rain"? I would really appreciate it =)
元気で行ってらっしゃい ,does it mean take care as you leave ( in travel ) ?
It's only natural that you don't understand that part in the bolds as it's very messy with a few typos.
Still the obvious mistake here would be:
色々な北海道の海産食品を空輸直送で
Yes, you're right. 種々 is a synonym but is more formal and used most often in writing. An individual might use it also in academic speech.色々な is fine for food, in fact its about the only word I've ever heard. Is 種々 quite formal? I never come across it...
Your translation is faithful in the literal sense, but I feel that you haven't linked the latter part まさにひと昔の世代だ correctly. The subject is the woman, and the sentence describes her.

Hmmm...how about
雨の盗人
It's more literally "The Stealer of Rain", but it's a start at the very least.
I was reading undrentide's blog, and I came across this sentence:
個人的にはいい人らしいけれど、いい人であることと優れた政治家であることは全然別。
The part that confuses me is the use of 全然. If I remember correctly, 全然 can only be used negatively.
仕事が見つかったら セミナーに参加しましょうummm... can somebody translate them for me?
新しい写真では良いものがない。
There is nothing good in the new photograph.
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/全然窶牢窶漏 can be used in a positive sense as well. Example: Zenzen Chigau (Completely different). So here in Undrentide's sentence it would pretty much mean the same thing. It definitely seems to be used more negatively, at least by the usage I have heard.
Lately,I've came acrossed this seemingly slang ドキドキでしょうね ☺ I can't make much sense out of it though.Can anyone here explain it please ☝
There are a few sentences like this that strike me as odd. The "de" here in "shashin de", signifies what exactly? It seems like "ni" would sound easier as "in/on (this photo".
