My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Part 10: Vinyl & Octavia Go to White Castle

[Deleted]

I remember the golden days when I always was the one on top.
But hey, I don't always have to do all the work, do I?

I remember back when I had above 1000 posts...

EDIT: mfw I just have 1000 posts. I've been productive in this thread. I blame game and music debates

Anything that involves pain is weird, even if it doesn't involve permanent damage, but when it comes to stuff that involves the realms of this fatty over here, its just absolutely disgusting. I can think of so many unpleasant things involving so many unpleasant things from nightmares along, its quite frightening.

Lets drop the convo, I don't want to be banned.

Nurgle <3

If there is one god I would have tea with, it's Nurgle

[Sausage Zeldas]

Did I pop back in at the wrong time?

Nah, that particular line of convo is done.

You did miss an earthshattering announcement.

[Deleted]

This was last true in what? Thread 3? I know Frey was tops by Thread 5.

And good luck at work Frey!

I was top in thread one until I took a break and even then I worked my way up from like ~15 to 3.
I was top in 2 and after that I started posting less again and Freye even more.

That's my aura.
It compels you to post more so you can be in my vicinity.

Damn, I'm way too far down there.

But Meh's been up there for quite a while. It only makes sense, though, seeing as how Meh posts from school and Frey doesn't post from work.

Its always good to read this every once in a while, its quite funny.

I love 1d4chan. I even painted my Space Wolf Commander in the Angry Marine colours.

Nurgle is best bro-god

You have 7 base consonants. Two that are asperated, one that is truncated. Then you have stressed and unstressed. The 5 vowel sounds are combined in various ways to create a variety of sounds, but they are all based on the 5 sounds. There are no hard or soft vowels.

This is all based on what I learned from an exchange student 10 years ago, though, so some of it may be fuzzy.

I'd have to check which are aspirated etc, but as I go through them it does have a lot to do with how the sound is made in the first place.

Most letters are based on the vowels with three exceptions: Wa, oh (pronounced wo sometimes and different from the vowel) and n. Wa is an exception there because it doesn't continue with the vowels since there is no wi, wu, weh, or wo. The funny oh sound is grammar only, and then n is just on its own. You'll never see an original Japanese word turned into Romanji that ends in any English consonant but n. The ya, yu, and yo sounds used to have yi and ye but they've been taken out. The "hu" sound in the ha set is actually pronounced "fu," which is where you get Mount Fuji from and stuff. There are no other f's in standard Japanese.

So the vowels are a (ah), i (pronounced ee), u (pronounced oo as in food), e (eh), and o (oh). The seven base consonant sets are ka, sa, ta, na, ha, ma, and ra The ya line might be counted by some, but it can actually be used to modify other consonants so it's an oddball that I'm not counting and it doesn't seem like your classmate did either. Of those ka, sa, and ta have single variants of ga, za, and da. Notice how you go from ka to ga? That kind of change is probably what you were thinking of, and it repeats will all of the variations. The way the changes are shown is by a couple tick marks next to the variant set. The ha series has two variations which are ba and pa. Ba has the tick marks, but pa has a little circle there instead.

The ya series can modify the other consonants like so: You take the base "i" sound of the set such as ki, then add any of ya, yu, or yo to make it kya, kyu, or kyo. The ta, sa, da, and za lines vary from this since ta goes into chi, sa goes into shi, and da and za go into ji. Thus they become chu, shu, or ju for example.

My Japanese teacher pretty much drilled the alphabets into us, so I figure I'll repeat the entire thing:

a i u e o
ka ki ku ke ko
sa shi su se so
ta chi tsu te to
na ni nu ne no
ha hi fu he ho
ma mi mu me mo
ya yu yo
ra ri ru re ro
wa o n
ga gi gu ge go
za ji zu ze zo
da ji zu de do
ba bi bu be bo
pa pi pu pe po
kya kyu kyo
gya gyu gyo
sha shu sho
ja ju jo
cha chu cho
nya nyu nyo
hya hyu hyo
bya byu byo
pya pyu pyo
mya myu myo
rya ryu ryo


So that's a total of 104.

Edit: What the? How do I make it a proper spoiler clicky thing instead of the dumb black lines?

Lots of Pokémon and WoW and chatting with Muffin.

The only one that's really tricky from an English Speakers viewpoint are the "ya" modifiers. Some are easy, but "Ryu rya ryo" is really weird for us.

I find it incredibly easy. I'm different.

I only care about the base 46 characters, everything else I don't count. Also, does this mean you can weeaboospeak with me?

Those are a bit of a pain, but there are more subtle ones too. For instance, there r's can sound like d's at times. And the fu? Some pronounce it "hoo" but it's really airy like they're blowing out a candle. Admittedly some of that is just dialect and accent, but the way my teacher talked it sounded like that was fairly normal across Japan.

There are also additional ways to put letters into a word. For instance, hashi (pronounced as spelled) is chopsticks but hasshi (hass shi) means bridge I believe. That extra consonant doubling is done with a small tsu before the letter.

Then there's the whole grammar business. The Japanese for some reason decided that it was necessary to have different counting terms for different items. Long, thin objects are counted differently than people and both are counted differently than cuplike objects. So yes, I consider Japanese on par with English as being difficult to master.

[Hetalia]

It's one of the reasons Japanese is actually fairly difficult to learn: Everything is about context. It is possible to have full sentences written out that have entirely different words depending on context, especially when writing in Kanji (which is the characters Japan borrowed from China).

I never find reading weeaboospeak that hard, I have more difficulty understanding it when it's said. Way too fast.

Okay it's cool everybody, I speak weeaboo.
Chan, chan, desu. Chan, neko, neko.
Desu desu, Haruhi Suzumiya!
Panty and Stocking ... uhh ... Lucky Star.
YAOI.

You mean the 46 base written characters (92, if you learn both hiragana and katakana)? Most stuff is written in Kanji, so they're of limited use. Katakana if I remember right is mostly used for foreign loan words, the hiragana for Japanese words with uncommon, complicated, or nonexistent Kanji, and Kanji for pretty much everyday use.

There are birds coming to Denmark from Russia because we apparently have berries that makes them drunk as fuck.

I... don't know about this world anymore... goddamnit Russia

EDIT: Spelling mistakes im tired leave me alone

I like Romanji more.
