| @ap19 Thanks for the reply, that's really put my mind at ease, it was driving me half crazy! Yeah, actually in the same song they do that sort of thing a couple more times but it was more obvious to tell what was going on (e.g. 結来 is read as 「みらい」, which is in some ways more confusing seeing as that isn't actually a compound according to my dictionary.) Still, I felt it was easier to understand that than the 記憶「とき」lyric, because they are keeping the word the same and changing the kanji, rather than keeping the kanji the same and changing the reading of the word! So I heard 未来 when I listened to 結来, and that's essentially right, just the nuance of the word is slightly changed by using that other kanji right? Thanks again for your help, I might start frequenting this thread more often now! |
| Hey everyone, I'll make this short I love the japanese language to bits and I wanted to ask a question since the curiosity is killing me. When I look up 'biyori' or 'setsugetsuka' in dictionaries I can't find anything, I know biyori is 'weather' and not sure why none of the dictionaries I'm looking at have that in. Setsugetsuka had a translation but I got the feeling like it was some kind of creation from other words. Anyway, sorry to bother about that but it's really killing me. |
| @Orevataf The correct read for 日和 is ひより. It becomes びより when it's compounded with a noun-adjective. 遠足日和 （エンソクびより）(picnic weather). It happens with many words, such as box and lunchbox 箱（はこ）、弁当箱（ベントウばこ）. 雪月花（セツゲツカ） is not a word, but a phrase taken from poetry written by 白居易（ハク キョイ）. It represents the beauty of nature via the snow, the moon, and the flower. It is NOT the name of a flower, but may be used as such in fictional writing. Biba said: I'm having trouble reading some kanji again. I'm not very good at reading hand-written kanji, and the page isn't very big so I think it's not very clear. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/chuyuri/After%20Stories/abae438e.png It's the sentence in the middle of the page, under the second image: まだ旧？？？の人もいるらしい。 That's what I can make of it but I totally can't figure out the kanji where I put the question marks ^_^; I know this is a mad old post, but anyway. It's 旧制服（キュウセイフク）(old/former uniform) |

x_Teu_x said: Hi o/ I'm still learning the basics so the doubt is a little dumb... The pronounce of the R column (ら、り、る、れ、ろ） and H column (は、ひ，, る、れ、ろ） are similar but the difference is H column is "stronger"? Thanks! I don't quite understand how that happened with the hiragana there. らりるれろ はひふへほ If you're French, then you will have problems with this, and I cannot help you. Otherwise, you should be able to differentiate between the English r and the English h. |

| Hey everyone, my windows broke so couldn't type in japanese but I wanted to send one of my friends a google translated sentence: When will (you) write the much anticipated first entry? (Of your blog) 待望の最初のエントリを書き込みますいつですか？ The meaning behind my question didn't get through at all. Other than the grammatical drivel Google Translate sometimes shouts I'd just like to know which part causes confusion or is likely to cause confusion to the native speaker. ap19, sorry to directly ask you, any thoughts? |

| @orevataf "which part is likely to cause (the most) confusion?" 書き込みます It's hidden subject would be the speaker him/herself, and ます ends the sentence. |

| There's no logically explanatory rule regarding which expression you would use for 4, 7, etc. However, for example, you don't say shichi-man for 70k; it's always nana-man. All I can say regarding this is, take it for granted from input, and don't feel embarrassed when your output is revised. I mean, it has more to do with pleasant sound than any grammatical rule, and this is far from having an explanation. |

| Hello everyone. I have a little "weird" question. I would be really glad, if anyone could tell me the rules of this puzzle games. I mean, I read the description (and I did understood it), but still I don't get it (cons of being an idiot). Photo is little big, so only the link to it (hope it doesn't break any rules). http://images69.fotosik.pl/771/14cf0b42d6059f5e.jpg |

If I got this right : 五日 (いつか) means five days, or the fifth day of the month. But いつか can also mean 'someday' right? (It looks no one has mentioned about that). いつか (someday) is usually written as "いつか" or "何時か". いつか (five days, or the fifth day of a month) is usually written as "五日" or "5日". Also, in pronunciation, いつか (someday) is slightly accented on "い". いつか (five days, or the fifth day of a month) is slightly accented on "か". |
