I am another hopeless anime fan, I've picked up little japanese from here and there, know some common phrases, know some about japanese culture, but overall I know enough to be able to tell I know nothing. I'm fine with it; even though I'd like to learn japanese, I don't have enough willpower to do it, and spend my freetime in other activities (anime, for one). On top of this, when I look back and think how much it has taken me to speak English properly and still have a long way to go, I realize that learning japanese is not something to be taken lightly.

Well, that's enough background information, here's the issue I need help with:

I separate the people into groups in my chatting software, and I name the groups with the little japanese I know. Recently, I decided to make a group of people I don't talk to, or never talked to. With the little japanese I know, this would be:

hanasanai-hito

Meaning people that don't talk.

Is this ok, grammatically speaking?

I asked this question to american exchange students that were a couple of months in Japan, but they could not answer it for me, so I decided to join the forum.

I would appreciate any insight on the matter, and apologize in advance if this was not meant to be posted here.
 
Why not just get rid of those people on your list, since you don't talk to them?
 
Luthien Rogue, I want a short way of saying it. What you said is probably right, but put it in English terms. If you had a group of people, would you label it: "people that I don't talk with" or "no-talk people"? I just want a short name. Then hanasanaihito means what I thought it would be, and it is why as I want, as I think it conveys the idea of what members are going into that group.

MeAndroo, some time ago I'd do as you said, and just erase them, but you never know when someone might be useful until you need him, remembered you erased it, and regret it.
 
Sorry Fehrant, I was going by this:

"Recently, I decided to make a group of people I don't talk to, or never talked to. With the little japanese I know, this would be: hanasanai-hito "

😌
 
Hi,

"hanasanai hito" means "people who don't talk". So this should be fine.


Cheers, Jan
