第二 Q&A

どうぞ　～　遠慮しないで下さい。

[Hi-Deki]

how about some other uses
can it be use for this sentence (I want to give it my best)

[Shia]

"I want to give it my best" i think is something like: 一生懸命頑張りたいです. In this case its better to use [いっしょうけんめい].

[Hi-Deki]

Waa いっしょうけんめい a four kanji word I wouln't have thought of using this.
どうもありがとうございました　Shia-さん
There isn't much use for 全開 after all except in racing, piloting, military,anime and manga.
May be would like to here this on jpop.

[Shia]

行くつもりはない and 行かないつもり: 意味は段々同じ、それは分かってるけど、what is the "technical" difference?

[Hi-Deki]

行くつもりはない - I have no intention to go
行かないつもり - I intend to not to go
this is just what i think the matching may be on the other way around

[Shia]

あ～！本当だ！すごいよ、Hi-Deki-さん. I see (and understand) the difference now. Thanks!

[Hi-Deki]

I would like to know what kanji list are you studying?
I'm asking this because i have seen many kanji list that helps in a certain kind of way or how you would like to study kanji.

Example:

thejapanesepage.com 1000 kanji list - focuses on jlpt kanji which is really nice, if wasn't for this i wouldn't made much points on the reading and writing test.

Kanji list by Grade - if you are in no rush this would be the most natural way of learning kanji, the list is divided into 6 grades in japanese.about.com the junior highschool kanji list was added also to complete the 1945 Joyo Kanji.

guide to basic kanji (book) - this book really makes learning kanji a lot easier and fun because of the exercises and the way how every kanji are explained and other more technical details.

[Shia]

I dont use any particular kanji list. Actually I dont really study kanji. I just learn kanji as i go; seeing & learning to recognise them as i come across them. Regrettably, Im hopeless at reading & writing kanji. My focus is more on speaking japanese. The only time i would use a kanji list in the future is IF i was studying for the JLPT.

[Hi-Deki]

do you guys use the language bar to type in japanese (windows only)?
cause iim having some problems typing づ tzu, i know this character is almost never use but still i want to be able to type this on the keyboard not using the mouse to click on the character list.
and if possible about some help on typing kanji too.

ah and this one to 。 I really don't know, but this should be simple I think

[Shia]

the way i type づ on my keyboard is "du". For example 続く(tsu-du-ku).
。is the full stop (.) using the Japanese script.
kanji is automatic when I type the hiragana and then press the space bar. But when there is more than one possible kanji, then I have to manually make the selection (by pressing the space bar again).

This is how I go about typing Japanese on MY computer. Hope that helps.

[Hi-Deki]

haven't you ever failed typing a kanji before, if no then probably I just needed some practice.

[Shia]

what do you mean "failed"? Well i guess sometimes when im typing quickly, and the conversion to kanji is automatic, i make a mistake by using the wrong kanji beacuse i dont check it over. For example, "いって" can be 行って or 言って or 入って.
