where is the /llg/ ? (language learning general)
I want to discuss the chinese language

自分の3ヶ月間の上達で思い切り満足してます

so, apparently in the chinese character for "you" there is "cattle"(like cows)

>>213371893
牠
There's also 祂

For me it's 汝 (にょ)

I was so much healthier and more productive without internet in my life

I just read my first (very short and easy, with furigana) news article and understood everything except two words. Pretty proud desu .

Wtf happened to lang
Everytime i type in Lang this chinese women thread pops up

>>213373114

i can kind of feel it desu
i went on vacation for a week with no computer, i slowly started feeling brain fog lifting, my thought processes became more active, logical and i started reading books again with 0 issues
then when i got home everything reverted back to shit

>>213385130
I stayed for one week as a guest, as I originally planned
I'm thinking about attending university there but probably not joining their monastic community full-time
as it's a chinese temple and the liturgy is primarily in mandarin and english

at first I thought I could overcome the language barrier or even learn mandarin over time
but now I think that if I were going to enter a temple long term I would need to find one in japanese so I could feel more comfortable
I was reciting the 普門品 in japanese under my breath while everyone else recited in mandarin
and mandarin mantra recitation is probably forever beyond me

自業自得

滅私奉公

>>213388869
Wait, I was gonna ask this.
>自 - self
>業 - karma/action
>得 - earn
Is it self-action-self-earned -> self earned karma? -> consequences of (your) own action?

>>213389252
yeah, it's all yours, even your karma :3

>>213389422
>滅 - perish / destroy
>私 - I
>奉 - hold / please / respect / carry
>公 - open / public
But
>滅私 - selfless
>奉公 - servant / apprenticeship
I don't get it.

>出
>Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 止 (“foot”) + 凵 (“cave”) – to step out of a cave; to exit.

I see.

>>213393022
Oh forgot 山 before the third quote.

>>213389252
>>自 - self
>>業 - karma/action
>>得 - earn
Interesting and informative.

another example
>自 - self
>縄 - rope
>縛 - tie
So 自縄自縛(じじょうじばく) means making yourself immobilized by your own rope.

>自 - self
>画 - painting
>賛 - praise
So 自画自賛(じがじさん) means praising your own paintings (usually in negative ways, like a company overly exaggerating strength of its products.)

>自 - self
>問 - ask
>答 - answer
自問自答(じもんじとう) is what we do every day in our minds.

弊 isn't a nice thing so you'd only use it for yourself to be 謙遜, whilst 御 here does the opposite expressing 尊敬

>>213394747
貴社(きしゃ) is an honorific expression of referring to someone else's company and chiefly used in writing or on paper (i.e. business documents or emails sent to your client company).

On the other hand, 御社(おんしゃ) is also an honorific expression of referring to someone else's company, but unlike 貴社, I feel like it's used in more verbal settings (i.e. interviews, presentations, conferences).

弊社(へいしゃ) is a humble expression of referring to a company you work in.

当社(とうしゃ) is an expression of referring to a company you work in, but unlike 弊社, it's often used to promote your company's products or goods for consumers or your clients.

Sorry if my explanation is superfluous or causes confusion.

書く練習始めました
今のところは平仮名と小1で学ぶ漢字の半分ぐらいは書ける
どういうことかと言うと
俺は今まで一度でも仮名や漢字をパソコン、スマホなどのディジタルな場面でしか日本語書こうとしなかったから身体をもってそれらの字を覚える事はなかったんだよね
だから例えば「ら」の字を思い浮かべよう、書こうと思ってもそれは地味に無理だった、目の当たりにすれば読めるしパソコンでは書けるけど字の形を思い出そうとすれば何も出て来ない
んで今まで平仮名さえ書けない身だったって訳だ、今は出来る(おお)けど
取り合えずこのまま片仮名と小6の漢字まで行こうと思う
漢検1準か2を受けるというささやかな夢を持ってるんでいずれはそっちの方まで学ぶんじゃないかな
ちなみに最近ゴミ箱の方(/jp/ /djt/)で漢検スマート対策という比較的便利そうなソフトの事を教えられたんで地道にノートに字を書く以外にそっちもぼちぼち
是非自分も使いたいと思う人がいればソフトを貸してやらないこともない

>>213410091
Oh, that information was unnecessary for someone as knowledgeable as you.
>imo "btw" or "fyi" would fit more
I see. Thank you for the input.

>>213410435
>俺は今まで一度でも仮名や漢字をパソコン、スマホなどのディジタルな場面でしか日本語書こうとしなかったから身体をもってそれらの字を覚える事はなかったんだよね
これは実際のところかなり多くの日本人にも当てはまると思う

Sorry if off topic, but feeling a bit aggrivated upon learning how much of Chinese is from Japanese.

So if you dk how Chinese language works, yes, there are a buncha characters you have to memorise, like: 市, 人, 电, 话, 谁, and 建. This is a recognizedly difficult aspect of Chinese language study, and I will not doubt it's an ingenious invention on their part. (It's slightly less difficult if you spend your entire childhood being made to learn Chinese.)

A more subtle aspect of studying Chinese, though, is that there is one higher degree of "memorization" needed, in that you have to remember "words" too, which are usually 2 characters, sometime more. For instance, you can put 电 and 话 together, dian4 and hua4, meaning "electricity" and "speech" on its own, to make 电话: dian4 hua4, which, jointedly as a unit, have the meaning of "telephone".

Another example of this would be 文 wen2 (language or culture) + 明 ming2 (brightness) = 文明 wen2 ming2 (civilization)

It seems beautiful, and it undoubtedly is beautiful. However, what troubles me is that recently I've been self-studying Japanese, and it's recently come to light for me that most, perhaps the vast majority, of these "words", is actually invented not by ingenious Chinese scholars, but Japanese reformers during the 19th century Meiji restoration. In seeking to modernize their civilisation and make it on par with the West's, they basically made a bunch of new "words", and it was THOSE who found their ways into Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. NOT the other way around (Chinese -> the other 3).

Not wishing to cast doubt on the intricacy of this linguistic culture. But I can hardly help but feel betrayed at these revelations.

What kind of notebooks do Japanese students use?

ペーペー; ぺーぺー; ぺいぺい; ぺえぺえ (n) (col) (derog) (hum) underling; newbie; small fry; newcomer

A stupid question: Is there a Japanese equivalent of the term "moralfag"?

I'm too stupid to make it :/
>t. moral hazard anon

>>213425087
>Is there a Japanese equivalent of the term "moralfag"?
To the best of my knowledge, there's no Japanese equivalent of it.
I think 偽善者(ぎぜんしゃ) in the sense of "hypocrite" is close to it in meaning, but the word itself is not only used on the Internet but also in everyday conversation to criticize someone for being hypocritical.

エラーが発生しました

子供の頃は、そよ風に運ばれていた。今、私の手は震え、優しくはない…

私たちは、邪魔をする二本の木の間の小道に立っている。
木々は私たちと同じくらい高く、低く灰色の空と際立ったコントラストをなしている。

小道は門で終わっている。
森で一番緑が濃い木が、本当に春なのか、見てみよう。

朝目覚めると、木々はもういなくなっていた。木々のこと、そしてその葉のことさえ忘れていた。
もしこれを読んでくださるなら、どうかお許しください。私の涙は木々のために捧げます。

生きたまま桜の木の下に埋めてやるぞ
