そのいやな感じが生き生きと表現されていますね。どうもありがとう、pipokun！pipokun said:A: the suspect
B: the victim, couple
I imagine the situation...
Just after A past the couple with A's intention to cause some troubles,
"hey what the hell are you doing?", B said.
"hey what are you talking about?", A said.
During the heated quarrel started, suddenly A stabbed B without any reasons and ran away.
I'm afraid that the people turn more and more frustrated.
下町の文化が私の心を奪われている。明治や昭和時代、東京も非常に込んでいたね。A bit off topic, but now I am into Edo culture.
Some say that Edo was 3 times more densed city than present Tokyo. Edo people knew good tips how to survive the terribly packed city life. The tips were called 江戸しぐさ. It is very interesting.
社会科 （しゃかいか）.pika la said:Quick: I need to know the Japanese equivalent of the Canadian HS course "social studies"... I can't figure out what they would call it. My friend suggested it's "History" but it's not. Because it deals with social patterns, history, earthquakes etc, current events, relations and more. So what should I call this course when talking about it to a Japanese person?
I think since しーしー isn't a word and there is no "we" hiragana maybe it is supposed to be read "wee-wee." Most likely no one really knows the English meaning ...Damicci said:It's funny you say that Elizabeth. My Girlfriend always says that when she has to go to the bathroom. But she is hawaiian. I think it is just a saying used for going to the bathroom whether your doing a number 1 or a number 2
Elizabeth said:I have this cute children's book on Japanese toilet training...the only one I'm not sure of is しーしー。 My guess would be that is that the actual sound of using the toilet (or representation of it, anyway) ? ☝
しーしー おしっこできたよ （排尿のしつけ）
ralian said:They are all colloquial form, Tsuyoiko, and your guesses are quite correct.
「聞いてくれ」is 「聞いて下さい」
お願いだ、聞いてくれ！
「たいしたもん」 「たいしたもの」
自分の命をはって助けるなんて、たいしたもんだなあ！ :bravo:
「おいぼれちゃ」 「おいぼれては」
あのじいさん、おいぼれちゃいるが、頭はしっかりしているぜ。
In this case, it means "brain" or "intellect".Tsuyoiko said:But in the second example I can't understand "頭". :?
Oh, I would love to hear,pika la said:What would sound best to say to a lover after not meeting for a long time (few months)..
久しぶりね？
-恋しかった
-寂しかった
-淋しかった
-会いたかった
Which sounds the sweetest or most heartfelt? OR is there something else better...
Couldn't you also read that as. "Please get your head(thoughts) together."ralian said:頭はしっかりして いるぜ。
ralian said:In this case, it means "brain" or "intellect".
命令形としては、「ぜ」は方言というより、間違いだと 思いますが、Damicci said:Couldn't you also read that as. "Please get your head(thoughts) together."
Ze is used as a command/imperative mood ? I didn't realize.... :sorry:LBL said:ごめんなさい、Elizabeth さん。 :sorry:
I'm sorry ,Elizabeth.
「ぜ」は間違いではありません。
"ze" isn't wrong.
男性が使う言葉です。（女性がそれを真似て使う事もあります）
It's a word used by male.(sometimes, female also use it by mimicking.)
例えば 「それは違います」 と言う時、 色々な言い方があります。
For instance, there are various expressions when saying, "It's wrong(Sorewa chigaimasu)".
ちょっときどった男性をイメージして言えば「そいつは違うぜ」となります。
It becomes "Soitsuwa chigauze" if it says imaging the man who affected it a little.
