Japanese Classroom

[Pr1me 101 15]

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)

[Officer Kaoko 142]

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 ?

[Cheesus 6]

Title:

Japanese (Something) dandelion

[conankoibito 21]

こくごに上たんぽぽ.(KOKUGONI UE TANBOBO=Dandelion Language??

[science12nerd 0]

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...

[mabel 59]

Can I join?

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]

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*

[Sherlock Lupin 41]

I'll join, and I'm an absolute beginner... kind of. I've never really completed a class before.

[BK201 31]

Since these are too many, so we don't post them here

So that's the reason!...

I've been waiting for lesson updates...

[Pr1me 101 15]

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...

[Tna Uchiha 23]

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

Lesson updates!

Hiragana: Lesson 41 - ‘る’ [ru]

hi! 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:
