Pr1me 101 15 Report post Posted June 14, 2011 Oh, and, Kenny-sensei. There's something I wanna ask again :-D! Wait, wait... let me get the things. Go ahead. (Oh yeah, you can drop the sensei part since I haven't done sh*t lol) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Officer Kaoko 142 Report post Posted June 14, 2011 Go ahead. (Oh yeah, you can drop the sensei part since I haven't done sh*t lol) xD No, lol. It's just because no one is asking any questions at the moment. ;-) But here, I have something to ask~ About the continuation of that Japanese story. It's been a long time xD 『ごめんね。』 と、 雪が 言いました。 『わたしも、 早く とけて 水に なり、 とおくへいって あそびたいけど。』 と、 上を 見上げます。 『竹やぶの かげに なって、 お日さまが あたらない。』 と、 ざんねんそうです。 Here's the romaji: "gomen." to, yuki ga iimashita. "watashi mo, hayaku tokete mizu ni nari, to'oku e itte asobitai kedo." to, ue wo miagemasu. "takeyabu no kage ni natte, ohisama ga ataranai." to, zannen sou desu. Here's my English translation: "I am sorry" said the snow, "I also want to dissolve into water as soon as possible, so I can go far away and play, but." the snoew looks up. "thanks to the shadow of the bamboo forest, the sun won't hit me." so, it was rather a disappointment. It's a lame translation, I know . I want your translation for this . Oh, and... the title of the book -> こくごに上たんぽぽ. Can you translate that, too. Please ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

science12nerd 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2011 I want to join, please..! I'm currently learning Japanese at school, because its part of the curriculum. Right now, I can write in Katakana and Hiragana. I know a few words, and able to piece out simple sentences. I am also able to pronounce words properly. But of course, I don't really think those are enough... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and... the title of the book -> こくごに上たんぽぽ. Can you translate that, too. Please ? Don't worry about your translation being lame (which it isn't), since you've basicly got all the major points down. My translation: "I'm sorry" said the snow "I want to melt into water and go far away and play" the snow said while looking up "Since I'm in the shadows of the bamboo, I can't melt" he/she said sadly And welcome to the club science12nerd and mabel.

Officer Kaoko 142 Report post Posted June 17, 2011 Thanks, Kenny-sensei! Your translation is awesome ! So, it's not necessary to translate it literally? I mean... even it's the specific words are not there? Mind if I get you the next page ? ^^ Wait, wait... I'll go and get it soon. *grins* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pr1me 101 15 Report post Posted July 27, 2011 I sent Kaoko an e-mail not too long ago to see if anything's up (no reply as of yet), she's probably gotten busier in her life. It's times like these that tempt me to try making lessons of my own... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tna Uchiha 23 Report post Posted July 27, 2011 Yeah, she is absent and will be absent for some time due to some reasons. Please wait patiently for her come back (I really wish she'll come back soon). I could not update the lesson on my own as well, because I usually just wrote the story, the rest was Kaoko's doing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tna~^^ i watched the link....and i'm gonna advise you. ・るっさい (russai -> noisy; loud; fussy; annoying; troublesome; tiresome; bossy) correct: るっさい→うるさい るっさい only dies 'う' of 'うるさい' and emphasizes 'うるさい'. i think 'うるさい' is better when you say or write. anyway.... 勉強頑張ってね~!! :rolleyes: Edited August 5, 2011 by chiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
