Need a word or phrase translated?

Romaji

I was wondering if anyone can give me the romaji lyrics for this old song, "Sakura". I can't read Kanji.... :emoji_flushed:

さくらさくら Cherry Cherry Blossoms (Old Japanese Song)

桜桜の山もさとも
見わたすかぎりかすみかくもか
あさひににおう桜桜
花ざかり

桜桜やよいの空は
見わたすかぎりかすみかくもか
においぞいずるいざやいざや
見にゆかん

If this doesn't work, here's a link to the site:

ぞうさん Mister Elephant

Thanks a bunch!
 
Don't worry, it takes about a month or longer you can find the bill or fee on your credit card bills on the interenational transaction, esp. when you use Japanese sites.

For your Nihongo study,
購入代金が、(わたしのクレジットカードに）請求されていません。
Konyudaikin ga, (watashi no credit card ni) seikyusarete imasen.

The original tense of yours, 請求しませんでした, is a past tense.

And Katakana,
クレ"ジ"ットカード is correct.
 
品物が送られてきたけど、クレジットカ ードから代金が引き落とされていませんでした。 もうい ちど確かめていただきませんか(もらいませんか？)。

Ahh, mine should probably also be corrected from the past tense....I didn't realize it took that long to clear an account.
 
Check your "品物が送られてきたけど、" again, and you will get the perfect B2B business writing.

"clear an account"
I get a bit smarter tonight. Arigatou.
 
Thanks everyone. Despite what pipokun said, I still might contact them to find out when they will charge it.
 
Hi, gwendy85.
This is the lyrics in romaji.

Sakura, sakura, noyama mo sato mo,
miwatasu kagiri, kasumi ka kumo ka,
asahi ni niou.
Sakura, sakura. Hanazakari.

Sakura, sakura, yayoi no sora wa,
miwatasu kagiri, kasumi ka kumo ka
nioizo izuru.
Izaya, izaya, mini yukan.
 
Hi, I was wondering (sorry, but my machine does not support Japanese scripts ), can someone explain to me what is the difference between "suiheisen" and "chiheisen"?

Thank you!

Yeah, understanding the kanji makes it clear that "suiheisen" refers to the sea line and "chiheisen" the skyline.
 
Even to Japanese, reading only in Hiragana is sometimes confusing especially when we want to get a clear meaning of certain words. That's where Kanji's come in to help. They really help us understand the word better and clearer. It is also possible for us to know the meaning even when we see a word for the first time (happens usually due to the lack of study or education...)

水平線 This is Suiheisen. If you know "sui" is water, "hei" is flat, and "sen" is line, it is not hard to guess the meaning, you see.

地平線 Likewise, the first Kanji is "chi"=ground, "hei"=flat, and "sen"=line.

I think both mean horizon in English. I am not sure sea line is the proper translation of it.

I think it can be a synonym for "horizon," I also didn't intend any technical implications beyond that line where ships look like they're about to disappear off the map.
 
Hello guys! I was wondering, is anyone here kind enough to translate a 30-minute clip for me? I understand that its not exactly just one word or phrase, but if anyone's willing to help, I'll be more than grateful... Thanks!
 
Hi everyone,

I'm a bit confused over something that was sent to me in an email today. It's in regards to delivering an item to me, but I can't fully understand what it's saying. Here's the paragraph:

もしご要望がなければ、ヤマト宅急便の元払いにて発送させていただきます。（送料は弊社京都でヤマト宅急便の６０サイズです。）コレクト便のご希望でしたら、その金額に３１５円（コレクト料）を足して発送させて頂きます。

Are they suggesting that I use the Yamato Delivery Company's "express delivery service", which will cost an extra 315 yen? If that's the case, how do I say that I don't need it?
 
(BTW, the above post is for a different item than my previous post from a couple of days ago).

mm, suiheisen can also mean horizontal. At least in Chinese it can, which I think can also be applied in japanese. chiheisen is strictly just "horizon" though, i think.
 

コレクト便, collect bin, means COD, or cash on delivery. And it is for the extra 315yen. When you don't have much time to go to bank nearby, it is an idea to use the service.

When you want to save 200yen or so, just tell them
"元払いでお願いします。", motobarai de onegaisimasu.

Since I don't know where you're living, no idea about the shipping cost from Kyoto to your town.
 
Ahh, thanks pipokun. I had it completely wrong. Nevertheless, yesterday I replied saying simply that I "don't want to pay the additional 315 yen fee". He got the message and it's all been sorted.
 
Could someone please explain the usage and meaning of そいう and という to me. Also when 訳で comes after them? I can't really find a correct translation of them anywhere. Much appreciated.

For example,
明日、長門三隅という駅で人権宣言を行います。
Could translate to,
Tomorrow, we will conduct a declaration of human rights AT THE STATION CALLED "Nagato Misumi".

I need these things translated into Japanese:
I collect gold coins.

I think it is this:

私は金コインを集めていた。
watashi wa kin-koin o atsumeteita(atsumeteimashita)

I think you mean そういう and という . They are combinations of そう＋言う and と＋言う which literally means "so it is called." They are fixed phrases that points to something that is already understood between the speaker/writer and the listener/reader.
そういう事は言うな。 Don't say such a thing.
というと、行ってもいい？ So, that means I can go?
(Also, という has many other uses that I won't explain here because it will become a long list and I can't explain everything )

Therefore, そういう訳(わけ）で and という訳で can be translated as "because it is so..." or something to that effect.

Hope it gives you a clue...

This is "I was collecting gold coins."
Collect is "atsumeteiru." I also think it is "kin no koin" for gold coins.

I'm not liz but I think gold coin is 金貨(kinka)
so you could say 金貨を集めてる(kinka wo atumete (i)ru)。or 金貨を集める(kinka wo atsumeru)。
or
趣味は金貨を集めることです。（shumi ha kinka wo atsumeru koto desu)
my hobby is collecting coins/ collecting coins is my hobby

Except there's no 促音 (sokuon) with 集める, so the -te form is 集めて, not 集めって.
