Oh, I see (well not really...Elizabeth: I encountered it twice two days ago: once in one of my JLPT practce problems, and then another time on TV. It didn't seem to emphasize the act of going to work, so much as showing up or being there on a specific day agaist the backdrop of possible/real absence. I.e., people were wondering when the boss would come back from his vacation and then it was reported that he would '会社に出る' the next monday.
Couple problems here.
Faith would be better as 信仰.
Belief is very vague. Give us more background. Belief in who/what/etc?
智慧 is usually written 知恵. Use the later.
Oh yeah. I highly recommend you not get any sort of kanji tattoo.

I agree w/ this. Most of the people who give you tattoos don't understand the language. They won't understand the kanji and won't know how to write it. This results in very ugly tattoos. (Trust me- I've seen soooo many ugly kanji tattoos on people. Please don't be one of them!)Oh yeah. I highly recommend you not get any sort of kanji tattoo.
I was planning on getting someone from japan who knows how to write the words I want. And who knows the language very well. And then once the person has written it out all I have to do is get someone to copy from the piece of paper onto my arm.
Anyway, 2 questions:
-One: how was my japanese in this situation? What would you recommend saying? There's a lot of times when people just keep stammering out the same word they want me to translate, and I need to tell them to elaborate or I can't do anything.
-Two: does taking the piss work as a translation?
A very small difference I feel...「会社に出る」と「出社する」は同じ意味だと思いますね。
This is a way I thought of putting it that you can use in almost every tight situation. Not really anything different than K-Young's examples. If it's a sentence you're wondering about just substitute 一文 etc for この単語.１それだけではわかりません。それはどういうときにつかうのですか？ ぐたいてきにおしえてください。 I can't answer, given only the word. In what context is it used? Let me hear more situations where it is used.
Thank you !!A very small difference I feel...
会社にでる is "show oneself in the office." It sometimes implies the situation where he/she wants not to do so, or he/she is forced to do so.
日曜なのに、会社に出るよ 嫌だな
出社する is almost the same meaning, but it is often used with a word or phrase of TIME.
今日は十時に出社します。
In a sentence using this phrase, WHEN is focused.
１それだけではわかりません。それはどういうときにつかうのですか？ ぐたいてきにおしえてください。 I can't answer, given only the word. In what context is it used? Let me hear more situations where it is used.
２毒舌 means " The person who says anything in a harsh and severe way or that way of saying." It might be a "sharp tongue" in English. Often ironically or sarcastically, and in some cases, he/she says something the listener wants it unsaid. Not to make fun.
I am going to try and not worry about 会社にでる too much, though. Because Japanese people probably wouldn't use it 99% of the time....
Well, it was only one person in Tokyo who told me in no uncertain terms the term was extremely uncommon and that I should totally forget about it. Maybe it only serves to remind him of being forced do work at inconvenient hours. ☝I'm surprised there's so much skepticism about this term. I hear it all the time in my (Japanese) office, read it in books and newspapers, and hear it on TV. It's a very common phrase.
Yes, I agree. It's just colloquial and won't hear it in NHK News that tend to choose formal and "educated" words, which means people don't necessarily talk like that in casual conversation.I'm surprised there's so much skepticism about this term.

OK, that helps explain why I haven't heard it said by NHK interviewees either. I've even seen them "dress up" direct quotes on their web site to make it the wording fancier than what the person actually used.Yes, I agree.

I don't know how much kanji Sasquatch knows, but the more the better for automated translation. You will have to use kana input at a minimum.@Sasquatch,
Your letter says: Christmas is approaching. Hope you have a good Christmas.
Translation sites aren't all that reliable, but you can try Babelfish if you just want to figure out the basic meaning.

Can anyone help translate this? Was playing Second life when my chat partner said this.
watashino sunderu tokorowa gosurori inai node..

No, not really. The most appropriate translations are the two that were used.クリスマスが近づいてきている.良いクリスマスを過すことと思います.Is this accurate 日本語翻訳,おしえてください.
First of all, the process of giving a gift is quite different in Japan which means essentially all accompanying expressions are not easily interchanged between written and said. Let us know which of those you want and the rest will follow quite easily.Could someone help me with this? I am trying to say... "From us to you, with love" in japanese. My aunt wanted to be able to write/say this with a birthday gift for my cousin, who's been studying Japanese for ages, as a surprise and asked me for help. I just started learning the language though, and have no idea... I would really appreciate any help with this phrase or maybe something similar you say while giving a gift...? Thanks!
Within the great current of postmodernism, the sensation of old clothes is a direct, material expression of the eclecticism of old and new. The feeling ofAlright, first post in this subforum:
ポストモダンの大きな流れの中で、古着感覚は、新しさと古さとの折衷主義を素材で表現した端的なー例。わざわざ開発したしわしわ感やよれよれ感は腕を通したとたんに何年も着慣れたような懐かしさが伝わってくる仕掛け。
古着のような。
Hope you can help me!
