I agree whole-heartedly. LMFAO is the joke of the industry and I will never understand why so many people seem to like them and how they're so successful. It makes me weep just thinking about how unfortunate of a musical taste the majority of people have. :(Posted January 20th, 2012 at 11:47 AM by -

Japanese Lessons: Part 5
I stumbled across this by chance as it randomly appeared on PC's front page, but this kanji lesson actually looks pretty useful. :D I'm surprised that I was able to apparently recognize some of the numbers (thanks to several of the Captains from [I]Bleach[/I], and something about Yumichika Ayasegawa preferring one of the number kanji over another) and elements (thanks to the Rangers' helmets of [I]Power Rangers Samurai[/I], and [B][I]especially[/I][/B] thanks to the countless instances that I've had Blaziken use Fire Blast in [I]Pokemon Sapphire/Emerald[/I] XD) just by a quick glance at the whole image. "Mountain" is a new one, though. Thanks for the kanji lesson, though; I'll be sure to look into it in detail later (and probably catch up on your past lessons as well, LOL). ;DPosted January 18th, 2012 at 5:03 PM by fenyx4

超かわいいですよ、アマちゃん。
That's... a really good explanation. Thanks. :)Quote:The best explanation I've ever seen for small-tsu is that it makes the words like "bookcase". When you say bookcase, there's a slight pause between book and case... and small-tsu does exactly the same thing! :) The pause might be a little shorter in Japanese but it's still the easiest way to understand it without spoken examples, imo.Posted January 4th, 2012 at 8:20 AM by Esper

Japanese Lessons: Part 2
Hiragana and katakana are both derived from kanji (Chinese characters) so kanji came first, but you're right in that katakana looks more like kanji. That's because when they were making katakana they just took kanji and stripped them down to something simpler (as opposed to hiragana which derived from how kanji is written in caligraphy/cursive).Quote:The only thing I know about the two is that Katakana is used to make Kanji, but Hiragana isn't or something. :) but this will be a huge help for me trying to decipher things like pixiv and other japanese assorted things.
Also I put random things together trying to make Kanji and make Cantilever. :D
I'll do a kanji lesson eventually.
Quite. Hiragana is by far more common (outside of, say, advertising where you might see more katakana used stylistically).Posted December 20th, 2011 at 10:34 AM by Esper

A way to remember the difference is that hiragana, the more curvy of the two, is used most of the time for its simplicity, and katakana, the line-ier one, is used almost exclusively for foreign words.Posted December 20th, 2011 at 7:01 AM by jpp8

@ Roswell: Therein lies the challenge.
@ jpp8: What lies beyond can be decided by you! No, seriously, suggestions would be great.Posted December 16th, 2011 at 8:05 AM by Esper
