Does 信じる and 信ずる have the same ます form? 信じます？

 

[Elizabeth]

We usually use "ぜんぜん" to describe "not at all" or "at all" as you said like "ぜんぜん高くない" for "not expensive at all".
But some people especially young people use to express "super" or "great" like "ぜんぜん格好いい" for "super cool".

I think is also applied as an extension of the negative connected with a positive statement in the sense of 'completely' or 'totally', similar to ちっとも大丈夫 as in 「全然オッケー」、とか、「全然大丈夫」... This usage is essentially the opposite of 全然悪い or 全然不安はない and doesn't seem to be a mistake at all.

does 信じる and 信ずる have the same ます form? 信じます？

信ずる is derived from a classical サ行変格活用動詞 (-su/-suru irregular verb) 信ず. ます is attatched to 連用形, and the 連用形 of 信ずる/信ず is 信じ, so the answer is yes.

Hi guys, I encountered this phrase in a video game that I was playing:

２人の魂が神の御許で安らかにあるんことを。

This was written on a gravestone. I'm guessing that the meaning is something like "May their souls (the two, whose names are on the gravestone) find peace in the presence of God" but I'm not sure what omoto (御許) means. So, what does 御許 mean in 1) a general context and 2) in this specific context?

Thanks a lot in advance

I read that 饋還 is translated as 'feedback', is that the kind of feedback like telling someone what they did good/wrong or is it another kind of feedback?

I was trying earlier to figure out how to say 'grab stuff', in the sense that 'I'll go home first and grab my computer'. Do I use 持つ in any way? Earlier I tried to make a sentence to my friend who was also studying Japanese, expressing I'd meet him but first I'd go home and grab my things. まずはうちに戻って、パソコンとか教材など喫茶店へ持っていきます。It's probably pretty butchered.

Also, I've always wanted to know this, but it's a more recent term: How to express 'texting' in Japanese. テクストをする? 'I texted my friend': ともだちにテクストをした。?

I've got a word that I keep hearing in anime, and can't quite catch it well enough to figure out what hiragana characters represent it (so I can go look it up properly). It sounds like doshdano. The subtitles at the time I've heard the word were similar to "What are you doing?" or "Are you alright?"

Can somebody post up the correct kanji and hiragana for that word?

thanks.

Isn't it あらんことを?

Your translation is correct.
おもと is not incorrect, but かみのみもと would be more common.
The use of 御許 in that sentence is the most common one.

I read that 饋還 is translated as 'feedback', is that the kind of feedback like telling someone what they did good/wrong or is it another kind of feedback?

饋還 is "feedback" as a technical term of electronics, but it's rarely used nowadays.

取ってくる might be more appropriate in that context.

メールする is the one.

I haven't studied in like forever but I think you could also say を取りに帰って and then you are going to meet him at the 喫茶店 ? :?

Hello, thanks for the replies! Another question, what does 気の利いたことが言える mean? Does it mean something close to 'making small talk'?

 

[Toritoribe]

Maybe you were confusing "small" with "smart"?

How about a typo I pointed out in my previous post?

 

[cloudkai]

It is あらんことを, thanks for the correction.

About the "small" and "smart" thing, I actually have no idea what the phrase means (The "making small talk" was just my guess at the meaning of the phrase) So would you mind telling me what it actually means?

 

[Toritoribe]

It means "to be able to make a sensible remark" or along the line. (気の利いたことを言う is an idiomatic phrase.)

 

[Feliks]

Please translate this short sentence because I do not understand its meaning for lack of the last word -.-

彼の姿をコミックに熱くぶつけ、ect.

Thanks-)

 

[Toritoribe]

What's the context?

 

[Feliks]

Next question - How would you transcribe this 擬声語: ンギャー into English?

 

[Toritoribe]

Again, what's the context? It can be used in different situations, i.e., in different meaning.

本誌が日本デビュー戦となる中国のｘｙさんはオタクの姿をコミックに熱くぶつけ、ほかのレポートもとどきました。

 

[Toritoribe]

It's still unclear since we don't know the contents of that magazine/book. For instance, I can't interpret whether オタク refers to ｘｙさん himself/herself or other people just from that single sentence.
Also, my previous post is said about 擬声語: ンギャー, too.

 

[Feliks]

Well, ok it's about a comic about an otaku drawn by xyさん. There is no more content
About the other one- ンギャー The context would be a woman giving birth.

 

[Toritoribe]

"To draw otaku in his/her comic with a lot of passion" or something along the line.
As for ンギャー, both her scream and her baby's first cry are possible, but probably it would be the latter one, just in my impression.

what does 溢れる mean and when do you use it?

 

[Mike Cash]

what does 溢れる mean and when do you use it?

It means to overflow, and you use it when you want to talk about something overflowing, whether literally or figuratively.

You could get it in a post but you couldn't look it up?

Hi, I' new here and I need help with translation...need the expression 'believe in yourself' translated. It can be in kanji and hiragana, but both would be the best. I loved japanese for some time now but just recently started to learn it properly.
I'd be glad to get any help with this:?
