wat do you mean? like a japanese phrase in kanji? like words describing you mood or something like tat?


Words in general that are used in things like blogs. Knowing moods would be good, too~! I have the cheapest dictionary ever. XD

kankei nai daro-

muri da - impossible
betsu ni - not really
ano toki - at that time
tonikaku - anyways
yappari - after all (something assumed is right)
urusai - be quiet (lit. too loud)

How would I say this in super-extremely-polite form?

"Thank you very much! It is not a problem. Have a good Summer vacation sensei."

--> Doumo arigatou gozaimashita! not sure how to say extremely politely. Not sure how to say extremely politely.

i'm kind of confused.

if kanji is used for major nouns, etc. why arent some animals in kanji?

so, if something is supposed to be written in hiragana, but is written in kanji instead, would people be able to read/understand it? would you be able to get by in japan without knowing kanji? hehe....


many nouns and verbs have a kanji reading, but a lot of those kanji are too complex these days and do not fall under common usage, so people use hiragana instead. This is especially true for animal kanji, for example the kanji for giraffe is 麒麟. So there are kanji used for various words commonly written in hiragana that Japanese people wouldn't know. But you wouldn't be able to get by in Japan without knowing any kanji, if I recall correctly the japanese department of education sets the minimum amount of kanji needed to survive day to day life in Japan at a little less than 2000

You can also say 余計なお世話だ (yokeina oseiwa da) which is more direct than kankeinai daro

doesn't make sense..if it was dokode yaru? that would mean "where will you do it?" or "where will we do it?" etc

QUOTE
ちょっと、推測何か。私は日本に行っている

what does this mean?


It looks like someone used an online translator for that but I think it means "Is that a guess or something? I'm going to Japan"

ingredients:
mix - 1 bag (110g)
egg (medium size) - 1 (approx. 50g)
water - a little less than 3 tablespoons (approx. 40cc)
butter - 1 tablespoon (approx. 10g)

- can be eaten with sugar sprinkled on top if you like
- if using a large sized egg (55-60g) then around 2 tablespoons of water (30-35cc) should be used

step 1: add egg, water, and butter into the bowl and whip until bubbles form
step 2: add the mix and use spatula to mix the powder mix until gone from the sides of the bowl
step 3: knead 10-20 times until it forms into one mass
step 4: divide the uncooked dough into 20 pieces and roll them into a ball with your hand (2-3cm in diameter), then fry for approx. 4 minutes in oil heated to 170-180 degrees celsius until all of them turn a light brown color
