日本語を話すのが良い。Guys, is this right? I'm trying to say "It's good to speak japanese"
English: It's good to speak Japanese
Japanese grammar context: SOV
(Subject)(Object)(Verb)
Japanese (Good) (speak)
日本語が良い話ます。
Grammatically, the predicate of that sentence is "is good," and the sunbject is "it" or "to speak Japanese."Guys, is this right? I'm trying to say "It's good to speak japanese"
English: It's good to speak japanese
Japanese grammar context: SOV
(Subject)(Object)(Verb)
Japanese (Good) (speak)
日本語が良い話ます。
In this case, the verb is to speak, which in plan form is hanasu, right? So to make it polite, present, it would be hanashimasu? The subject is "Japanese", so I should use the subject marker "Ga" correct?
That sentence/phrase doesn't make sense at all. Probably he wanted to say あなたは日本語を学ぶ必要がある; "it's necessary for you to learn Japanese" or "you need to learn Japanese", as you interpreted. He must say it to himself.GoldCoinLover;645383 said:Also, as a side note, I came across someone on the playstation boards asking a question how to import japanese games on the PSP Go, and one person replied in japanese. I don't think this is the correct grammar.
あなた必要性へ学ぶ日本語
I was trying to reply to what he said.
Anata is (you), I think へ may be a particle and the kanji before that appear to say 'necessary', it looks like the kanji after the particle is 'study', and after that is the kanji for 'Japanese'.
So if this is correct, perhaps it says:
"It's necessary for you to study Japanese."
But I still dont' think the grammar is correct here.
It is true that we are making a very important decision, and what ever help that you are providing me is greatly appreciated...Um, you are making a quite important decision...
I do not know if I can really help because there are numerous styles already and names should be unique, succinct and yet descriptive.
Anyway, there is one thing I must ask. Are you are making a new style?
I mean if your Dojo is a part of ready existing style, I do not think you are encouraged to give your Dojo any creative name.
I truly agree with you on this, but like i said "I LOVE JAPANESE" and they deserve their due credit for developing martial arts to the level that it now is.I believe opinions vary, but well, if you are an martial artist who dedicated yourself for the art, both in physical and philosophical aspects, then unless you would like some Japanese tinge in the name, you do not necessarily have to include Japanese in the name of your style.
No doubt everything is in the teaching and skills not in the name, but since we need to give our school a name and since we would like students joining us to get an idea what we practice and believe in (as many people come to us just to learn to fight/take revenge etc.), we decided for this name.It is almost impudent and irreverent of me to be saying this, and some people would strongly oppose, but if there is anything like the spirit of Karate-Do, then it probably resides within the teachings and skills not in the names.
Will try to get more help, But even this much of help that you have given me will definitely help me get started...There are many possible combinations and the names carry important meanings, so you should really consult someone who knows what the important principles for your style. But well, at your request I tried to make up some a name.

You are welcome.Dear GreenCat,
First of all let me thank you for this pretty detailed and informative reply that you have given me...
It is true that we are making a very important decision, and what ever help that you are providing me is greatly appreciated...
Well we are not creating any new style here nor is it a mixed martial arts style...
Our physical, mental and spiritual base was, is and will always be Shotokan Karate-Do, but as we also believe that to become an ultimate warrior, one must also be flexible and versatile enough to assimilate the best and effective physical, mental and spiritual techniques, systems, phillosophies of other styles like Aikido, judo, taekwondo, tai chi chuan, kungfu etc. In order to do this we believe that the best way is to follow the teachings of the Enlightened Warriors like Meijin Gichin Funakoshi, Kancho Hirokazu Kanazawa, Morihei Ushiba, Sifu Bruce Lee and others...
For example: its like traveling to a destination. to reach it, one can take one of the many routes to it, at the end, the destination is the same. Likewise the aim of any martial artist is to become The Ultimate Warrior. In our case the route we have taken is that defined in Karate...
As we are not affiliated to any of the prominent Shotokan Karate-Do Associations we have taken the decision to use a Different name.
I truly agree with you on this, but like i said "I LOVE JAPANESE" and they deserve their due credit for developing martial arts to the level that it now is.
No doubt everything is in the teaching and skills not in the name, but since we need to give our school a name and since we would like students joining us to get an idea what we practice and believe in (as many people come to us just to learn to fight/take revenge etc.), we decided for this name.
Will try to get more help, But even this much of help that you have given me will definitely help me get started...
Is it ending in 'Do' as in Karate-Do
is it possible to get the Romaji for them so we know how to pronounce it. How will it be when represented in Hiragana and Katakana.

The former.Embarrassingly easy question but I was wondering about the actual meaning of....
"何これ?!"
I hear it a lot on TV programmes. Is it more like "What's this?!" or more like "What the..."
Yes, but 何あれ？ or "What's that?" might be a more common situation on the street.So say you see something a bit weird on the street, is it correct to say なにこれ。。。?
The suffix め is usually written in kana, as in こいつめ！.Hi I was wondering about the use of 奴.
Say it was used in the following sentence (taken from a manga I'm reading):
"。。。魔法をかけた奴を押すにはこれが必要だな"
I know there are several ways to say it e.g., め、やっこ ＆ やつ. Is it almost like お前 but a bit more derogatory?
Yes. 奴ら/やつら basically can't be used for "things," though.Also, how does it compare to 奴ら (やつら)? Does the ら addition simply just make it plural?
に依る; に因る; に拠る 【による】 (exp) (uk) by means of; due to; because of; according toHi I have a small question about a grammar point, specifically によると, when referring to a source of information.
Here is an extract from an NHK news article:
"パキスタンで警察施設を狙った爆弾テロや武装グループによる襲撃が相次いで"
Now in this case, the と has been dropped. Is this still according to a source of information, or does the による have a different meaning here?
Many thanks
