Or, it could be a typo of 2つの線や面が交わった角; "the angle where two lines and/or surfaces (planes) intersect".2つの線や面が交わって角
Does this translate to "the angle/ corner where to lines meet on a surface"?
I really don´t understand why it is や here and not と. Shouldn´t it be a definite number of things?
Hi everyone. I'm not studying japanese for a long time. Our teacher asked us to translate one of our favourite quotation in japanese. I wanted to translate: "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul"
If someone would translate this sentence for me, I would be happy, or at least explain me how to translate the part "of my". I really don't know how it works. Thanks in advance.
I would have done this, but I'm not sure at all.
"私は私の運命の師です, 私は私の魂のキャプテンです"
Well, I don't know if the repetition of 私は私の sounds really natural, and is 師 a good translation of master, or is there a better Kanji? And finally, should I use something more formal than です for this type of sentence?
"Remember the purpose of your life" in English is odd as a phrase since it seems contrary to the idea of everyone creating their own goals and meaning as a single individual. Something like "Always keep your goals firmly in mind" or "Always be clearly aware of your purpose (in life)" leaves open the possibility of change and so are a little more natural.Hi! I was wondering whether anyone can help me translate this phrase: remember the purpose of your life.
I'm actually a total noob in jap, but I'm doing this for a friend who's really interested in all things japanese!
I guess I'm supposed to take the to effort to actually do it myself, but with my current (lack of) knowledge in this language, I'd rather not risk it. XP
It should be fine if there isn't a direct translation for it, as the long meaning stays the same. (I can't even directly translate that phrase in mandarin without altering the phrase)
To the person who answers this post...thanks for making my day!!!
To begin with, "As they walk down the street" is 歩いている間に. 彼らは should then come at the front of the first clause if you're referencing it as "they."How do I say
"As they walk down the street the children go by other shops in the street."
This is my best try
通りを歩き続ける間に彼らは他の店のそばを通る
Thanks.

I'm a little confused...:?
If the subject of the main clause and the subordinate clause are the same or "As they walk down the street, they ~," it can be so. But in the example sentence, the subject of the main clause is "the children," not "they." So you need to make it clear who the subject is in each clauses.Sorry, I was trying to mean as they continue walking down the street.
Also, could you explain a bit whey they should come in front of the first clause. I'm asking because most of the books I use (which of course are just beginner's stuff) always put the time-reference in the beginning of the sentence. So I thought 歩いている間に would count as the time reference.
Thanks

Is 歩き続ける間 even good grammatically in the dictionary form ? It sounds like with "continuing to walk" this is trying to say the subjects were still walking while the children were not, had gone inside the stores etc.歩いている （歩く＋～ている） already suggests that the action "to walk" is continuous.
歩いている間 or 歩きながら should be suffice. 歩き続ける間 sounds redundant.
かかとと爪先をつけて立つ: "to stand with heel(s) and toe(s) on the ground" (Or, it could be "to stand with both heels and toes close together", if the sentence is something like the definition/explanation of O脚.)In the following sentence:
かかとと爪先をつけて立っても両膝がつかない。
What is the meaning of つけて立って
It's 付 for the both つけて and つかない.What kanji is つかない？
