In everyday conversations, neither of the above are ever used.

"Henka suru" is the common form

"ka suru" is used (nearly always) as a suffix (it's got 'suf'
right there in the dictionary definition).

There are 2,220,000 google hits for 化する
and a mere 659,000 for 変化する

Practically any noun can be stuck to 化する,
for example the first 10 matches are
巧妙化する
イメージ化する
イスラエル化する
心理学化する
最適化する
多元化する
QVGA化する
書籍化する
高速化する
デジカメ化する

Hey guys. Ahh it's good to be back.
I have a line from an e-mail that I was trying to figure out, but I cant quite understand it so if someone could help me that would be great. Thanks.

The line is as follows:

またわからないことが・ったら、なんでもきいてね

Thanks again everyone.

 

[Buntaro]

Hi SkaKid0911!

I think you want to say, "Mata wakaranai koto ga attara, nan demo kiite, ne."

which is

"The next time you have something you do not understand, whatever it is, please feel free to ask."

 

[SkaKid0911]

thank you buntaro!

 

[SkaKid0911]

Hey guys, sorry to be back here so soon with another question. This time its from english to japanese. Could someone please try to help me say
"Please tell me if you want to know more. I don't want to bore you."
Thanks again.

--EDIT--
Please, write in kana or romaji. Thanks

Dire help!!!!!

Hey Buntaro whats up? hey I'm not really that good with translations and such and you seem to be the man at this kinda stuff so I thought I would ask. I was wondering if you know how to write "Sagara Sanosuke, zanbatou" I needed those two names translated into kanji for a sweet project i am working on. Or I should say attempting to work on. I am building a shorter six foot long zanbatou for a cosplay even for the big ACEN coming up. as you can tell to match my character. I need the kanji si I can have it cut into the sword and such I am making. If you can help me with this i would be greatly in your debt plus I could send you a pic of my project when I'm done. thanks a million, @Buntaro !

You say potahtoh I say potayto.

Is the causative passive, and I don't think it necessarily indicates
suffering or against your will (although it obviously does
indicate _cause_)

I think with a transitive verb it could be either was forced by or was allowed by depending on the situation, although most likely more the former as in English.

 

[Buntaro]

Hi CMUcurry!

I will have to dig out my kanji dictionary on this one. It may take a few day. Is there anyone else out there who can help?

 

[CMUcurry]

thanks

i thank you very much for your help you the man! hey if you wanna see it when im done with it i would be happy to post a picture of it.

 

[Buntaro]

Curry san!

Yeah, that would be cool if you could post the pic of the kanji. I may not get to it until the weekend. "Bimbo hima nashi...."

 

[CMUcurry]

i think you miss read what i said or what i meant. i still need those words translated into kanji but i was going to post a pic of my zanbatou im bulding with the kanji in the sword. but if get the kanji i can stil post it here also. so if you get them translated before i can find them great hit me up. otherwise i will post it here. thanks for the help.

 

[Buntaro]

Hi Curry San!

I am an airline pilot, and I am on the road five days a week. (I am typing this at the overnight hotel.) I can't wait to see the picture of your sword! When the weekend gets here, I'll take a look at the kanji.

can someone please translate this rough sentence?:

ビリーの情報をまとめて分りやすく紹介しているサイト

It concerns a Billy Corgan web site. I'm just curious about the description. Thanks!

It says the site which brings together Billy('s) information and introduces it in a way that is easy to understand.

Please just try to test my limits with something really difficult, though, when you have a chance Golgo....

*bump*

Okay, this thread has a lot of useful info, but, also, more selfish reason for the bump, I need to ask a question.

Now, does anyone know what "to play god" would translate to in japanese. (I know "to act like a big shot", but would they be synonimous in the japanese language?? . )

If that's untranslateable, that's okay. ^_^ Thanks in advance!

 

[Golgo_13]

Kuro Tsubasa

"Aitsu wa Kami-sama dato omotte(i)ru" (He thinks he's God) would be closest but it's not a commonly used expression.

A more common way is "Nani sama dato omotterunda!!" (Who do you think you are!)

Nani-sama: Nani=what, sama=suffix used for a person to be respected.

Hope that helps

Ciao Bella!

Take a look at my latest silly Japanese pun.

 

[TyPe-ZeRo]

I need a phrase or a few words translated ... they are :

My glasses!

and Oh my god!

hehe thank you!

Are you a guy? If so, then say "Boku no megane" for my eyeglasses

If you're a gal, say "Atashi no megane"

The Japanese don't have an equivalent expression for "Oh my God!" when they're shocked. But I've seen on comedies where they say "Kami-sama! Hotoke-sama!" when the characters get desperate.

im baack guys lol...new words ....how to say Faded Memories and the word Dream?

 

[TyPe-ZeRo]

Wow golgo, you reply pretty quick... but i have a question, i thought younger kids use "boku" what if I were to replace boku with ore, would that sound weird or would just boku work?

Eve : i think dream is yume
