Could you explain what 口語ではものすごくよく使う表現です means?
so かて = だって, but what's "datte"? How does it fit into the sentence?
That's HARISEN = Etou's line, isn't it?;-)So かて = だって, but what's "datte"? How does it fit into the sentence?
1)Could anyone identify the kanji in this photograph? I have a feeling it is Chinese, however I was wondering if there was an acceptable Japanese meaning that could be derived from it, or maybe it is Japanese... just 2 kanji... any advice as to the hiragana translation plus the English translation would be very much appreciated ^^
replace the xx wth tt
2) (名望理) --not sure if that shows up. Its the kanji for Meibou(reputation, renoun) plus Ri(reason) ... if the 3 Kanji are placed next to each other 2+1 does it make a significant meaning?
I am actually trying to formulate a Zekken for Kendo >.< last name is Mayberry. <_<
so "datte" = what's more ?
You'd better not to think about the word だって singly. (Incidentally, だって is from だとて - "auxiliary verb だ + conjunctive particle と + case particle て".) HARISEN's line is a kind of complex sentence.so "datte" = what's more ?
You're right in HARISEN's case. But, as Buckaroo Banzai said, the keyword is not only だって.From the example sentences provided, I'm guessing that "datte" sort of means "even." (Even he can swim. Why can't you?!/You should be able to, too)...
せっかく夏休みになったのに、毎日(が)雨だ。Is it OK?
せっかく夏休みなのに、毎日は雨だ。
Although it's finally summer vacation, everyday is rainy.
Should I use "yatto" instead of "sekkaku"?
日本では夏より秋のほうが晴れる日/晴れの日が多いです。Is
日本は晴れた日は秋は夏より多いです。
a correct translation of
"In Japan there are more sunny days in autumn than in summer."
In polite,ところで、"Thanks for the advice"は日本語で何と言いますか。
(hope that make sense >.<)
そうですね。He was just lucky that, the lucky thing was..みたいな感じかな。Yeah, it means well, so in this case you are saying something like (hard to translate wakaru withou context) 'I'm no expert, but...' Its just means that you don't 分かる well, or are saying that to be modest.
My question: Something has popped up sometimes in my reading, i.e., in the following example:
警察が電話番号から桜の身元を割り出せなかったのがせめてもの救いだ。
My question is about 救い・もの救い
It seems clear that 救い means something like 'a saving grace.' But what does the もの do here? Is もの救い some kind of set phrase? I tried using this with my language partner and he had no idea what I was talking about, and at the time I didn't have the example to reference...
「ま」というのが一番自然でしょうかね。。。And one more question: (person is talking on the phone):
僕はすくし間を置く。 Is this read あいだ or ま here? Also, it does mean, 'I pause for a moment,' right?
我が事＝自分のこと。「我が」というのは古い言葉で「私の」という意味です。that one comes first (I understand it, but maybe you need the context):
「外海ブランドのイメージモデルを毎年務めるようなモデルなんだから」
and that's the one I don't get:
「我が事ながら驚くほかない」
我が事 = personal affairs
驚く = surprised
ほかない = nothing else (? just my guess work)
I really don't get it... どういう意味でしょうか。
「ネタ」はこの場合、話題のことです。PS: Anyone happens to know what エロネタふる means?
「我が事ながら驚くほかない」というのは、「我が事ながら驚くしかない」。。。こんな感じでしょうね。皆さん、久しぶり！
Got a question for you, hope you can help! ^-^

Can you catch some of the words yourself, although I think some are surely "ateji" kanji that normally take hiragana, then we can help by putting them to grammar ?深苦深苦溶けるように深苦辛苦痛苦哀す
