The Japanese Language
Yakami-chan, the one and only back again with another fun report ^.^.
This one took a while for me to come up with but I was flipping threw some old school books of mine and decided to type an article that has to do with the Japanese language. I for one am able to speak and write four languages, Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese. Out of all four I prefer Japanese, but not because it is my native language but because it is alot smoother sounding (To Me) at least.
First off, lets talk about the history behind this wonderful language. Similar to other languages such as English, French, Italian, German being based of of Latin, Japanese is based off of Chinese.
The Japanese is written with a combo of three scripts: Kanji(Chinese characters) and two syllabic scripts of adapted Chinese characters Hiragana and Katakana. The worst thing in gradeschool was learning Hiragana it was really difficult compared to Katakana and Kanji. 
Japanese is an agglutinating language, adding information such as negation, passive voice, past tense, honorific degree and causality in the verb form. Common examples would be hatarakaseraretara (働かせられたら), which combines causative, passive or potential, and conditional conjugations to arrive at two meanings depending on context “if (subject) had been made to work…” and “if (subject) could make (object) work”, and tabetakunakatta (食べたくなかった), which combines desire, negation, and past tense conjugations to mean “(subject) did not want to eat”.
I hope this article help some of you out, if not i just want you to know I wrote this for my own amusement ^_^ I get bored easily.

If you know nothing of Japanese, then you cannot say what the language is all about. I know enough to know it’s all perverted. Or as they say, “Hentai Anime” “Perverted Porn” is what that translates to.

Right, never mind that Hentai just translates into ‘pervert’ while anime isn’t even a word over there. CLEARLY you know enough of the language and it’s people, even though you despise them and made no effort whatsoever to understand them because you’re incredibly racist.

Anime is a word “over there”, actually.
And you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think Japan is sexually messed up. YOU have made no effort whatsoever to understand them.

So because ONE word in the language means perverted the whole language has to be about porn or perverted? By that language the following languages are a few that would also be classed as perverted:
French
Spanish
Chinese
Italian
Russian
Greek
And of course ENGLISH.
Pretty much every language has a word for perverted or porn so guess in your mind they are all perverted.

“バイバイはすぐに会います” actually is a nonsensical sentence that doesn’t mean anything. Quit using babelfish to pretend to know Japanese and actually learn the language.

And google proof that no Japanese person has ever used that sentence in their life?
No results found for “バイバイはすぐに会います”.

I’m offended, Yakami Chan. This is only days after Pearl Harbor and I feel it is insensitive to Americans to have to learn about Japanese words and such. Can you write an article about how Kanji is how China/Japan secretly plotted on us to steal our nukes, space technology and robot technology and probably will use it to attack us in the future?
Praise or Condemn:

Kanji is a type of language you fucking moron, and didn’t you just get done saying ‘Only you atheists hold a grudge’? Really? You’re going to say that, and then say that only atheists hold grudges.
And considering how China and Japan hate each other, why would they ally with one another? Do you not know your history? Can you not tell two entirely different countries apart? And you seriously think that they want to attack us? You really are retarded, you honestly can’t think straight, you’re completely insane.

You’re holding a grudge about something petty. Newt Gingrich had an affair ages ago and he and his wife have come to terms with it and Gingrich has also repented of his sins.
Japan firebombed an island full of teenagers, fresh out of high school and had planned to destroy America’s Western seaboard as part of helping Adolph Hitler: massacre and murder the Jewish people, kill all handicaps, weed all minorities out of every country, turn Earth in to Aryan Central. The Japanese even turned on the Chinese. So yes, I do hold a grudge. You cannot compare an affair to a massacre which Japan still refuses to acknowledge and issue apology.

A grudge is a grudge asshole, doesn’t matter how ‘petty’ it is. If you’re supposed to turn the other cheek and forgive, then you’re a terrible job at it. Japan attacked us, yes, but then after the war their government changed and they were our allies once again. And ‘refuses to acknowledge and issue apology’? Do you get your countries mixed up asshole? They’ve already apologized, and they acknowledged that they attacked us. Do you just plug your ears into your head and go ‘lalala I’m not listening’ whenever you see that sentence? Do you honestly think that Japan STILL has to be apologizing for something that their government did 70 years ago? It’s been 70 fucking years, they’ve made amends already, we’re allies with them.
You want to bitch about people holding grudges, and yet you want Japan to pay for what they did over 70 years ago? During that time, mind you, we were attacking them and we hit them even harder than they hit us? That’s like saying “I know my great grand dad already shot you, but I wanna shoot you too for punching him!”; you want them to be punished for something that they’ve already been punished for. You can’t possibly stand to forgive them, and one of the very rules that Jesus himself said was to turn the other cheek, yet you’re more than willing to beat their cheek instead.

They murdered our sons and daughters, LN. They did not have to make friends with Hitler and try to wipe us out.
If a parent has their children murdered by some psychopath, I’m not going to shed any tears if the parents get some revenge on the perps. And Japan still got off pretty easy, we could have really destroyed them if we wanted but yet we made peace. And they STILL do not want to apologize and live up to what they did. And let’s not even mention Nanjing. Hollywood is making a Christian Bale movie about it, and while China today is also a big threat, I am happy this movie is being made. Japan still hasn’t owned up and properly apologized for what they did there as well. Why do you think Japan started to attack China? Because just like the Soviets, they eventually chickened out of their alliance with Hitler and joined the winning side.

They followed Hitler’s plan because they allied with him. They wouldn’t have done that just for the fuck of it.
And what you’re saying isn’t a parent murdering their children’s killer, it’s the grandchild murdering the killer, well after the murder took place and the killer was trialed. And where are you getting your information that they don’t want to apologize for what they did? And do you not remember just which side China was one asshole? During WWII China was on OUR side. Christ, you just want to kill them because you’re a racist fuck, you’ll use any excuse to kill a foreigner, won’t you? You’re a psychopath who masquerades as a Christian, and Christians are supposed to be loving and forgiving, yet you’re more than happy to shed someone else’s blood, pulling up some bullshit reason that’s over 70 years old AND when the country in question already paid the price. You just want blood, admit it. You aren’t a Christian at all, you’re a fucking murderer.

I am going to point out that you lost this argument with L.N really early on. In the same way you instantly loose most arguments on this site. Along with any shred of credibility. You were the one to bring up Hitler/Nazis. It is called Godwin’s Law. Basically means any argument (on the internet anyway) eventually leads to someone bringing up Hitler or the Nazis. The second that happens the argument is dead and the one to mention it looses automatically. It doesn’t matter how strong/weak your views or your opponents views were first one to bring it up looses. And you lost this one in your first response to L.N well done.

And in response Adam, the cowardly Americans nuked two Japanese cities which are still uninhabitable today. I think you’re slightly more than even you moron.

I know what romaji is, I’m a Japanese major. She said “Japanese is written with a combo of three scripts” It’s written with four, romaji is used in Japanese writing. Even my Japanese friends say that there are four writing systems, not three. They commonly joke around and say waseieigo instead of romaji, though.

Thanks for proving to me that you’re only pretending to be Japanese. EVERY SINGLE JAPANESE STUDENT learns hiragana first.
Not to mention, if you really did learn kanji first, you already would have known most hiragana already by the time you got to it as parts of kanji and it wouldn’t have been difficult at all like you said it was in this post.
