Need a word or phrase translated?

Tokyo girl <3 said:
How would I say "I hate you" on Japanese?
Click to expand...

...but when you tell someone that you hate them, the main point is that they understand that the mere thought of them makes your skin crawl. Why would you want to tell them in Japanese? Do they understand Japanese?

Plus, HATE is a strong word. I wouldn't feel right teaching a 12 year old how to say such a thing in Japanese.

What have they done to you? Were they mean to you in school?
 
皆さん、いつも助けてくれてありがとうございます。すみませんが、もうひとつお
願いします。

次のイメージはあるアニメのレイアウトの一部です。その筆跡がちょっとまずく
てちゃんと解読できません。

上部は「フレームてきとう(適当)にいじってください」と言いますね。

下部は「上からみ？？？(ずろし？)型」しか解読できません。

またよろしくお願いします。
 

イメージが見えません... 貼り付けるの忘れちゃった？ｗｗ
 
^_^;; すいません。

...


あー。あの...イメージを付けるように評判が足りないみたいです。ポストを消したほうがいいでしょう
ね?
 
No, since I don't have the 25 posts yet; I wasn't aware of the requirement. Should I just erase the post?

ETA: Hold on; I just discovered the Album function. I still can't link to the picture directly, but it's viewable as the first image on the right in my profile page.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
 
Aha.... thank you!!

Now... I also want to say 'I'm interested in learning from the older and more experienced", or something along those lines. In this context, how would do you say 'learn from'?

I guess you don't use から。。。
 

You can use から.
Learn from [something/someone]
～から学ぶ
 
そうですか？！！

so, does this make sense?

もっととしとじゅくれんしたからならうにきょうみがあります。

sorry about the hiragana, my kanji isn't quite up to scratch yet ☝

Thanks for your help
 
より けいけんを かさねた、 としうえの ひとから（いろんな） ことを まなびたいです
より経験を重ねた、年上の人から（色んな）ことを学びたいです。

That's my shot at it. It could be really wierd, though, so be warned.
 

Perfect, I'd say. What you have in ( ) is necessary for this to sound natural. If you want to say "things" in general, you use something like "monogoto / 物事". Also, you could substitute hito/人 with more polite "kata / 方" to further express respect for someone who is older and more experienced.
 
Cool. I think my first shot at it was really wierd, though. It was more of a word-for-word attempt, and when I looked at it afterwards I thought, "that doesn't feel right." Glad to know I managed to save it. Thanks!
 
OK, I've run across another kanji I can't make out. Like before, I've posted the picture in the Album function; it should be viewable right on my Profile page.

「...星の塔 は？？？のが好き。」

Thanks again to everyone for their eyes.
 
青き星の塔は
旧型のが
好き

Without the context, I'm not what it is about, though...
(Literal translation would be something like "the Blue Star Tower likes/prefers the old model one.")
 
How do you say the following in Japanese:

I watched the cat eating its food.

I heard the people speaking.

I don't really know how, but I'll try anyways:

猫が自分の食べ物を食べるのを見ました。
人々が話すのに聞きました。

Don't aks how I came up with those, cuz it was just a guess. If anyone could correct them it'd be greatly appriciated ! よろしくお願いします
 
「胸ぐせ」の英訳？

文脈：
「胸ぐせを三等分し、１／３は袖ぐりのゆとりに、２／３は胸ぐせとして残し、縫い合わせる。」
パターンマジック
 

According to コスチューム用語集, 胸ぐせ means front darts.
胸ぐせ/コスチューム用語集
「胸ぐせとは、ポケットの前端近くからバストトップに入っている縫込みのこと。フロントダーツ。 」
I think you can find a lot of terms related sewing in this コスチューム用語集.
コスチュームショップ『ＣＲＡＺＹＮＵＲＳＥ』
 

How about using 餌（えさ）instead of food? 食べ物を食べる sounds just a bit repetitive to me. Also, I think it is safe to do away wih 自分の.

猫が餌を食べているのを見ました。

As for the second one (and the first one also), the action of the obect (cat, people) is in the progressive form, right?

人々が話しているのを聞きました。

I'm not 100% sure as it has been decades since my last English grammar lesson but there IS a difference between "I saw him eating" and "I saw him eat", no?
 

Good try.

猫が食べ物を食べているのを見ました。
人々が話しているのを聞きました。

Unless you want to emphasize the "its" before "food" (not other's, or not mine, for instance), you do not need to mention it in Japanese.
食べえるのを見ました、話すのを聞きました are also OK, the above are to describe that the action is on-going while you watched/heard.
 
Ah, thanks!
Ahh, okay. I didn't think to put it in the ～ている form.
Just a follow up question: If i were using, say, the verb "to go" rather than "to eat" or "to speak," would it still be in the ～ている form? Like, 男の人が行くのを見ました。 or 男の人が行っているのを見ました。 ??

And I don't really know if there's a difference. They convey the same meaning to me, I think... I'm not an expert at English grammar haha
 
Seems to me like it'd have to be a more specific verb, like a manner of going. "Walking," "running," "crawling," "jogging," "driving a car," "riding a bike," etc. all seem like much better options to me, because I'm not sure I understand what it means to see someone "go." Go where, exactly?
