A Small Persona Doodle To Try Out The Laminator

Okay so I'm having trouble with は and が and where to place them. I feel like it's a little random with wether to use は or が. Except for like the subject of a sentence... then its は I believe. Anyway. I'm also having trouble with に. Sometimes に is simple for me to understand because it'll be right after a specific location. Other times it's like 日本語の雑誌は先生の事務室にあります. And I'm just like.. How in the world is Japanese Magazines allowed in front of に?

Ok imma try. And sorry for the like 6 week delay. 😳 I’ve been through it the past 10 weeks.

First rule: Particles determine the role of each word relative to the verb. 

 が 

As a Case Marker - defines the subject, or the person, or thing doing the action described by the relevant verb. The subject is always expressed as a noun phrase. It is different than は which defines the object. i.e subject of existence like “Over there is a store.” 店がある。

 As a Conjuctive - it is used to connect two contrasting clauses like ‘but’ or ‘though.’

As subordinate clause connector - Indicates the subject of subordinate clause when it is different from the subject of the main clause. Indicates the subject of a relative clause.

Dear scientists,

Please, for the love of God, please, make your papers more understandable.

Fuck you

Sincerely,

A college student on the verge of tears

Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but “Mom’s” probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened every day and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breath in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.

Set the language on video games, editing softwares, social networking sides, skype etc. to the language you’re learning.

Have song lyrics in the language you’re learning translated until you understand all(or most) of it and listen to these songs over and over. This helps you...

be poetic. if you find the way the light falls through your window and onto your bedroom wall pretty, write about it. call it soft and golden as sunlit honey. if it makes you glad to be alive then it’s not silly. you look for the beauty of things, be proud of that. say the heavy rain is kissing you. write about the glow of the moon, the dancing of flowers. make your world magical. collect your metaphors and treasure them.

関西弁 — kansai dialect

when learning japanese as a foreign language, most people will learn standard japanese 標準語 (ひょうじゅんご), as it’s the type of japanese taught in a classroom setting or in your textbooks.

however there are a lot of dialects in japan, one of the most famous one being 関西弁 (かんさいべん) the kansai dialect! kansai dialect is said to sound louder, harsher and more melodic.

関西弁 (かんさいべん) summarizes all dialect spoken in the 関西 (かんさい) region ( ~弁 (べん) is used to describe a dialect). kansai includes cities like osaka, kyoto or nara. the most famous variation of kansai dialect would probably be 大阪弁 (おおさかべん) osaka dialect.

i’m going be teaching you some kansai dialect now! (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

vocabulary (関西弁・標準語・英語) (kansai dialect - standard japanese - english)

あかん　・　ダメ　・ don’t! / stop!

ええ　・　良い (いい)　・ good

ちゃう　・　違う (ちがう)　・ different

めっちゃ　・　とても　・ very

ほんま　・　本当 (ほんとう)　・ really

自分 (じぶん)　・　あなた　・ you

うち　・　私　・　i (primarily used by girls!)

おおきに　・　ありがとう　・ thanks (not used anymore)

あほ　・　ばか　・ idiot

しんどい　・　疲れた (つかれた)　・ tired

マクド　・　マック (マクドナルド)　・mc donalds

~回生　・　~年生　・~ grade (１回生 - first grader)

はよ　・　早く(はやく)　・fast

おる　・　いる　・ to be / exist (in osaka)

ほんで　・　そして　・　and…

phrases (関西弁・標準語・英語) (kansai dialect - standard japanese - english)

わからへん　・　わからない　・i don’t understand

なんでやねん　・　なぜだの　・what the … (lit. why is it)

知らんけど　・　知らないけど　・not sure though

かっこええなぁ　・　かっこいいね　・she/he’s cool/handsome

せぇやな/そやな　・　そうね　・that’s it

めっちゃ好きやねん　・　とて好きだの　・i love/like it/you　

misc.

in kansai dialect the う as in です or ます is pronounced.

the kansai dialect is associated with a fun, outgoing personality. in anime characters might speak kansai dialect even if they aren’t from kansai. (also in dubbing of foreign animation, some characters might speak kasai ben to underline their character!)

remember that most people (especially younger generations) don’t really speak thick kansai dialect all the time! it’s mostly a mix of standard japanese and dialect. when speaking formally people rarely use kansai dialect but switch to 丁寧語 (ていねいご) polite language of the standard speech.

here’s a video of attack on titan scenes dubbed in kansai dialect compared with standard japanese! even if you can’t understand everything maybe you can still notice the different melody and some characteristics of kansai dialect like  へん ending on verbs, and the copula や (more in the read more)!! i thought it was super interesting and maybe you could also watch it if you don’t like anime.

thanks for reading! please inform me of any mistakes as both japanese and english aren’t my native language(´･ᴗ･ ` ) tumblr mobile, or at least mine, doesn’t display this post correctly!
