降らざる雨 ｆｕｒａｚａｒｕ ａｍｅThanks for that...anyone else have some ideas to help me out with? it's kinda urgent >.<
日照り (Literally 'dry' weather but these characters could also mean 'day' and 'shiny' or 'glowing').Hi =)
The title was meant to kind of be ambiguous and have various meanings.
The basic story is:
A modern day High School boy accidentally gets pulled into the world of "x" one where there is a eternal conflict between two 2 groups/types of people- one whom are considered "evil" <-- magicians.. and those who claim to be the "good" <-- warriors who primarily use strength.
Yui (the main character) was born from leaders from either side. As expected they were not accepted, despite their status. The moment Yui was born, a drought was inflicted on their world. At the age of 7, Yui's parents were forced to their deaths and she was taken in by her mother's family side (the magicians)- however she was often discriminated and people wanted her dead.
Yui however, grew up as a powerful sorceresses/summoner, with unmatchable water mana. This created more conflict as people blamed her for the cause of the drought. She became indifferent and cold towards the people around her and cared less what happened to them.
Yui, now 17 years old encounters the Boy- and due to a series of events- they travel on a journey to search for the dispersed Elemental Stones- in hopes to restore equilibrium to their world (i.e it may remove the drought)
Ignorant and cold at first, she gradually builds trusts in her herself and others.
"Steal My Rain" refers to a few things:
-Since Yui's parent's death, she wasn't able to cry. Someone had "stolen" her tears. She couldn't believe her own ancestors would do this. This could also mean someone will take away her sorrows. (spoiler: the boy from the modern world is the water elemental stone they're searching for.. )
- People either wanted to kill Yui, or use her in a way because of her water abilities. (thus, her water mana is the "rain")
-It may also refer to the fact someone has stolen the rain from the world of 'x'-i.e the drought itself. The conflict has lead to many deaths and the story also reveals the personalities of the people and their way of life.
It would be nice to get a translation that kinda relates to themes mentioned (if possible)
Thanks in advance!

Do you think that's more suitable as a ?English title for "steal my rain?'日照り (Literally 'dry' weather but these characters could also mean 'day' and 'shiny' or 'glowing').
If you're not set on a more literal rendition. I can't read your mind on the appropriateness of "drought". Did you want a phrase incorporating those artistic motifs and themes or not ??ThanksSo..what do they mean?

I dunno which one best to use >.<
In many cases there is interchangability but basically "De" emphasizes less what is actually 'in' the picture being poor and more the relative absence of overall good photo quality (development, coloration, focus, etc).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". I imagine I'm forgetting something very simple. Is there an easy explanation?
And a Question:
何だ。そんなことか。そんなら、今晩勉強しとけばいいじゃないか。
Here, the しとけば: is this short for しておけば? I remember hearing something about this a long time ago but don't remember how to contract that phrase. Or is it something else? In any case, could someone tell me the contracted form of ておく？
新しい写真の私の写真うつりが嫌いです。How should I say "I don't like my new photos" (I mean "I don't like how I look on my photos that were taken recently".)
この時計はとまったままずっとごきません。（この時計は止まったままずっと動（うご）きません。）And what does i mean ( I found it in my japanese course notes, but I didn't translate it into Polish, it looks like then I knew what it was, but now...)
My take on this is that the sentence is the incorrect (but used) form of:Hello everyone, I was wondering which interpretation of the meaning is right.. :
生徒は遅くても、毎朝8時までに教室に入ること。
Even if the student is late, they can only come to class by 8?
See, it's a bit confusing.. and is the "koto" in the end just like normal nominalizers, e.g "no"? Does it change the meaning in any way?
Cheers

Incorrect or simply nice and conversational ??My take on this is that the sentence is the incorrect (but used) form of:
生徒は遅くとも、毎朝8時までに教室に入ること。
ねこがあります is NOT standard at all. For living or animate beings from humans to fish and insects the correct choice is います。 Doesn't matter if it's in katakana, hiragana or kanji ねこがいます means "There is a cat." It is a perfectly wonderful sentence Kuro-Nekoさん。ねこ should either be in Kanji or Katakana. They are, respectively 猫 and ネコ.
In general, young people/pet owners/people who want to empathize with the animal use います。 More standard is あります。
If you're speaking to an audience of potential helpers, such as here, I would leave out the hope part and make it simply "Can someone please do me the favor of translating this?"By the way, does anyone know how to say "I hope", as in "I hope someone can translate this"?
Is "okairinasai" appropriate to say to someone who was outside the country or is there another word for it? :clueless:
