Need a word or phrase translated?

Counter for Kanji?

Or do you just say 三つの漢字?
Yes. But I would also use 漢字三文字 in some cases.
e.g.
さんずいの漢字を3つ書きなさい。
漢字三文字の熟語を書きなさい。
 
What's this translate to in English?

舞い降りた天馬(ペガシス)!

I know (ペガシス) is (Pegasus)
 
I figured out that "tenba" is referring to Pegasis, so the title is:

"Swooping down Pegasis"

If you're curious to what this is, this is the first episode title to the new Metal Fight Beyblade anime.
 
Can someone translate this, please??
それを踏みにじり、家畜として飼いならそうとしたやつが、餌として見下していたやつがいる

It's a line from an anime ^^;

And this
俺の記憶は俺だけの現実だ
My memories are reality that only belongs to me <--- did I translate this right?

Thanks

BTW, I'm new here. Yoroshiku ^_^
 
And this
俺の記憶は俺だけの現実だ
My memories are reality that only belongs to me <--- did I translate this right?

You got it right.
You are good enough to do it right, so why don't you try the first sentence as well, then ask if it is OK?
 
Haha, the grammar is too complicated for me ^^;

I can only understand the first part

それを踏みにじり
To trample on that

The rest.... I have no idea
Animals?? Bait?? Feed?
 
Hi there.

I'm looking to get a couple of phrases translated into romaji.

First one is "Often outnumbered, never outgunned" and I asked a friend of a friend who translated it as "yoku kazu sakkari, kenju sakkarinai" but told me to get it checked.

The other is "May the wind be at your back and the sun upon your face"

Any help is much appreciated.
 
久しぶりだにあったね。


1.この町の人口はますます増えていくと大変だ。 (もう少し客観的予測?)


2.このまま人口が増えていったら大変ですよね。 (ちょっと主観的になる?)
この町の人口がこのまま増えていくと大変だ。


↑ 客観的予測 か 主観的気持ち(感情表現)を表すことについて、 1と2というような文章の中のどこが、相違点なのか。。。


多分、問題なのは、「いく」と「くる」じゃなくて「人口が」「人口は」の違いじゃないかな。



もちろん、「大変だねというような表現」を入れるのは、「話者の感情を込め」にも相当するね。


 
「は」「が」以前に「大変」を使ってる時点でかなり主観的になるでしょうね。個人的な印象を語っているわけだから。
「人口が増加していくと問題が発生する」とかだと客観的な感じになりますね。
 
The other is "May the wind be at your back and the sun upon your face"
Any help is much appreciated.
Kaze ga anata no senaka wo yasashiku osu you ni (oshite kuremasu you ni?)
Taiyou ga anata no kao wo atatakaku terasu you ni (terashite kuremasu you ni?)


First one is "Often outnumbered, never outgunned" and I asked a friend of a friend who translated it as "yoku kazu sakkari, kenju sakkarinai" but told me to get it checked.

Yoku tazei ni buzei ? For often outnumbered .... no idea on "outgunned"

And sakkari /? Sakari ? huh?
 

Thanks for the help Elizabeth
Whats the difference between the two sentences for "may the wind..."?
Is one more formal? The phrase is an old family saying which we say as a toast so it's a formal thing I guess.
And whats the part in brackets?

Sorry for my total ignorance in this, I really do appreciate the help.

P.S It could have been sukkari/sukkarinai if thats any different.
 
The first is may the wind...
The second is for the sun...

Hopefully a native speaker will stop by and confirm, though. The parens are a way of thanking the sun & wind without being basic to the core sentence (It's a Japanese thing...)
 
People always say how difficult but rewarding a language it is to learn and I can see what they mean, haha.

Thank you, it's actually for a present for my mother and fathers 25th wedding anniversary.
My mother loves Japanese sculpture and art and I've had a silver statuette made for her and want the family toast engraved on it.
Thats not the whole toast but I realised the whole thing would have been far too long.

But I'll tell you what it is, because it's a nice saying "May the sun always be on your face and the wind at your back to carry you to the stars"

So thanks a lot, you really helped make the present whole.
 
走れ - run!

right?

I've noticed/been hearing people saying stuff like that (making -u into -e in order to make it command).
Is this right? and if so, when would one use this? is this slang, or informal, or...?
And about would you do it for verbs like 食べる?「食べれ!」?And する And 来る?

Thanks
 
Japanese verb conjugation - Wikipedia

食べる (ichidan verb) → 食べろ/食べよ
You can see the answer for the irregular verbs 来る/する on the wiki page above.;-)

It's not slang, but sounds far more rude than something like 食べなさい. Some other usages are on the wiki page, too.
 
そうですね。「走れ 、食べるなど」は言い方によって怒っているように聞こえるでしょう。 「走れよ、食べろよ」はもう少し優しい感じだと思うけど?
 
It totally depends on the way how to say it, the situation where it's used, the relationship between the speaker and the listener,,, thus, the context itself.

時間は気にしなくていいから、ゆっくり食べろ。
ぐずぐずしてないでさっさと来いよ!
 
That's true, but at least よ can also be a strategy, along with tone of voice etc. to soften the impact. It's too late and I'm too tired to hear about how men make it sound worse. Maybe tomorrow.
 
1.) 一体 (いったい) is listed in my dictionary as a phrase meaning "What the heck," "What the devil," "What on earth," etc. Is it a widely used expression?

2.) How often is the Kanji for だれ used? I looked it up and it said it's not even 常用. I've seen it in books more often as Kanji than Hiragana, but I didn't realize it wasnt' even 常用.

3.) Is there an onomatopoeic expression for something like "ta-da!" that a presenter might use when unveiling something?
 

Yes, いったい is very commonly/widely used for emphasis.
Normally we tend to write it in hiragana いったい rather than kanji.

There are many kanji which is not 常用 yet people use daily.
誰 is quite commonly used.

As for your third question, the first expression came to my mind is
ジャーン!
 
How does one say, "I'm allowed to........"

Like "I'm allowed to go to store." or "My mom allowed me to go to the store" or "I'm not allowed to go to the store." like that

Thanks :
