I think it may have something to do with 現れる being an intransitive verb that can't take an object itself. :?EDIT: btw, why is it 暴走族が現れ始めた instead of 暴走族を現れ始めた
Elizabeth said:Another example of this form in the second grammatical role would be in a sentence such as かれは, リンゴの実が木から落ちるのを見て, 地球には引力があるのだということを発見したそうです。
ということ is basically a way of rendering things more abstract -- in this case Newton discovered the fact that there is or the existance of (= koto) gravitation (to iu = in reference to a specific term or name/it is called that) as opposed to saying simply he discovered that there is a gravitational pull on the earth.
Although I'm a little lost on the renyou kei (conjunctive verb) analogy. :?
A hearsay can usually also be stated "dictionary form" +sou desu (furusou desu, I heard it's going to rain).

I still want to find a part-time job, but I think I'll never find the time to look.Elizabeth said:またアルバイトを探したいけど時間的に探すのは難しいと思います。
There's no reason to use wo instead of ga. It's the bousouzoku who are starting to appear, they are the subject of the sentence, not the object.暴走族が現れ始めた
I would bet you that someone is trying to say "Angel of Liberation", but they have screwed up the kanji for かいほう【解放】wallofdeath said:What do you think is a good way to translate "開放の天使?"
Could 開放 mean something like "openhearted" or "magnanimous" the way it's used here?
puKKa said:well, I was just intressted in the game so I wanted to know what it said, I mostly wanted to get an idea of what the text said, not a perfect translation
Although in this case it isn't looking that is difficult, it is the 'timing' or special needs of her own schedule which makes it a challange to find the right position, which was the whole purpose of the above discussion. Anyway, I think I understand now. Thanks.Scrivener said:I still want to find a part-time job, but I think I'll never find the time to look.
(You could just say "difficult", but because the person says "omoimasu", it makes more sense to use "think I'll never". I mean they KNOW it's difficult already, it's not something they need to just THINK, since it's the person looking for the job who's speaking. That makes me want to use the stronger version of muzukashii, not just meaning "difficult" but "I don't think it's gonna happen", familar to Western business people in negotiations with the Japanese!)

"jikanteki ni muzukashii" definitely means "I don't really have time to do it". What is it that is difficult? It's "sagasu" of course. Now you say "sagasu" means to actually take the job, but I think it has to refer to looking for the job.Elizabeth said:I'm quite positive it isn't looking at all she was referring to as difficult, simply stated it is finding a job that fits her schedule which may be.
Intended meaning : "I'd like to look for another part-time job, but it is the 'timing' (scheduling) aspects which I think make a search (read : taking the job) difficult."
It is highly hazy and condensed, but "Muzukashii" may be being used for both "I don't have time (to work)" and (therefore) "the search is difficult" (finding something with flexible hours). That was the English explanation in any event. It isn't the search in itself that is the problem.Scrivener said:"jikanteki ni muzukashii" definitely means "I don't really have time to do it".

Probably a pop-up ad in disguise. A bunch-o-stuff got blocked by the new improved Internet Explorer (XP Service Pack Upgrade) so all I got was a single message box that went away with the [x].Glenn said:I don't know about anyone else, but I get a "Click yes to upgrade to XXX" dialogue box that won't go away when I try to close it, or when I click "OK." I had to "end task" the browser to get around it.

Generally, although they often have 'stay on top routines'.Glenn said:But can't you make pop-up ads secondary or tertiary windows by clicking on the one you want to view?
If you got the 'bloop' sound it was probably an install / upgrade activeX component prompt. Still doesn't mean it has to be legit though.Glenn said:This one didn't allow that. When I clicked on the main window I got the "bloop" sound and the dialogue box flashed and stayed on top. :?
Glenn said:Well, I've seen 武道 written in a book, and 武芸 and 武術 are in the dictionary. If anything I would say that 武道 is more the way of the warrior, and the other two are the art and the techniques, etc, but it would probably be best to get the opinion of a NSoJ.

You're listening in Japanese, but they're singing in something else (some variety of Chinese?).GoldCoinLover said:Uhm. If it wasn't japanese..WHAT was it? ...........Trollish? I heard quite a few japanese words in that song..so I guess I must be learning a different language then. :?
