You're amazing.
Why the hell not? There are shy Americans and there are gregarious ones--isn't that a difference in personality??? If they share the same culture, then what?
So, you still blame the person's culture for such behavior (to confess their love or apologize and bow to their...
Yes, "ティ" was contrived to accomodate foreign words, but traditionally in Japanese, there is no such sound.
What's your last name, "Case"?
Justin Case.
J/K!!!! :p :sorry: 😌
Thank you very much. Common sense dictates that if someone commits a crime, you blame the individual instead of his race, culture, ethnicity, etc.
Same thing with a person who doesn't quite behave in the way YOU'd like him to.
No, it's not silly. Italian, German, and other white people have various hair colors. You parents could have hair of a different color than you.
Japanese only have one.
What's the good thing about being a Japanese blonde?
You only look dumb, you're still intelligent.
13-year olds? You'd be amazed at how many adults speak like that.
I now judge people by YPMs ("y'knows per minute").
1-2 YPM, you're doing good.
3-6 YPM, you're about average
7-10 YPM, you should be more careful
11-20 YPM, You have speech problems
over 20 YPM, you're an idiot
Somehow, all the aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet mysteriously left the harbor before the attack as if the attack was imminent. Just leaving one old battleship.
But I doubt that a Japanese person would know that you're saying "I love you" if you said it in Urdu, Swahili, or Arabic.
They would only understand if you said it in English.
If reality is such that you find another culture so difficult to deal with, why get involved with someone of that culture?
We've already been through this so many times.
Blame the individual's personality before you blame an entire race, ethinicity, or culture of people.
What's "passing"? I only know the term as used in football. :p
Did you start dating your boyfriend for the "novelty"?
Do you suppose the Chinese, Koreans, Thais, Vietnamese, Indians, or the Bangladeshis would be more willing to make concessions to Western ways?
Could it also be...
I have thought about it for a long long time. I've written on the subject in the Rafu Shimpo newspaper in Los Angeles.
Some Japanese (of course, not all) don't care for being Oriental. That's why they try to look more like white people by coloring their hair, and through cosmetic surgery...
If you're going strictly by Osaka-shi versus Yokohama-shi.
Osaka-shi, within Osaka-fu, is not that large.
But then it would not be fair to say that Tokyo is the biggest city because the entire prefecture is considered one city. There is NO Tokyo-shi.
I assume "size" of a city is...
"Datte" is like "because" when used in the following:
"Party ni ikenakatta. Datte kaze hiitandamon." (I couldn't go to the party because I caught a cold)
"Saa" is used to connect thoughts to make them flow together (but should not be used in formal speech):
"Shokuji ni itte saa...
Thanks!
When I saw the "Project X" episode on Tokyo Tower it was exaplined that it was built as a broadcast tower.
But trying to emulate the hair color of Westerners by dying their hair blonde is getting ridiculous.
You won't believe, there's even a Dajare Federation!
Japan Dajare Federation
This is mine:
"Sanpatsu ni iku tochuu ni kenka ni natte nagurareta."
"Nanpatsu?"
"Sanpatsu."
Actually, to spell it in Romaji, it would be "Jasuchin". There's no "ti" sound in Japanese, so it comes out "chi". So I guess I like your way better for forum name purposes.
"I love you" does not translate very well literally into Japanese.
So can we put the matter to rest and go ahead and say it to a Japanese person in English? He/she will like it better in English.
At the time I meet Mr. Virtanen, I knew that most names that end in "nen" are Finnish. I found out later that it's a very common name.
Does your name end in "nen"?
Someone told me a joke once, "What is big, yellow, and has 50 fins?"
"A school bus in northern Minnesota." (there are...
