Helle everyone! my Name is Niklas and I am a 22 year old German university student. I'm really interested in the Japanese culture and language. I have been learning Japanese on my own during high school. Currently I'm staying in Tokyo university as an intern Student until the end of december. I would like to meet new people in that area to improve my language skills and to learn new things about Japanese culture. Nonetheless, I'm more than willing to help with learning German, English or to simply speak about any topic that comes up. In my free time I like to do a variety of things like reading, gaming, watching anime, music. I am always up for learning something new, so I'm open to meet people with other cultures and languages as well. Don't hesitate to write me!

    If I understand you correctly you want to know the difference between "konnichi HA" and "konnichi WA" (it's not cha)? At least that's how I understand it. First of all: The word we're talking about is written こんにちは in Hiragana. I believe you can't read them yet. However, the transcription of "konnichi wa".... tells you how to pronounce the last part correctly. As a particle (you'll learn that later) the hiragana は(ha! not wa) is pronounced as wa. Therefor some are misleaded that you'd transcribe こんにちは as "konnichi wa" instead of "konnichi ha". If transcribed correctly ... well, depends a bit on the system you use - but after the most common, the Hepburn system, you'd need to transcribe it as "konnichi ha". In addition to Ryoko's post: it's important to also distinguish between eg. nya and n'ya -> にゃ and んや. It's a difference. Oh and, correctly transcriped it would be written "rômaji", so have to somehow indicate vowel lengths as well. -> What do we learn? Learn reading Hiragana as fast as possible and then stop using rômaji. Ever.

    Korrekt ist: *Singular: Wir helfen einander in jeder Situation. (Plural: Wir helfen einander in jeden Situationen.) Man sagt normalerweise das erste, weil "jede" alle Situationen einschließt und der Plural es doppelt klingen lässt.

    Heutzutage tragen viele Jungsenge Kleidung (/Klamotten). Sie mögen Caps, Sweatshirts und Röhrenjeans. Die am meisten gewählten Farben sind Beige, Dunkelgrün und Blau. Ich glaube, dass heutige Jungenmode (zwar) interessant ist, aber ich persönlich bevorzuge legere Kleidung (/Freizeitkleidung/bequeme Kleidung).

    Zu dem, was Dagmar bereits gesagt hat, sollte man bedenken, dass größtenteils ältere Personen (meistens Senioren) an einer Kaffefahrt teilnehmen.

    Abgesehen davon, dass die Art der Werbung ziemlich penetrant ist, glaube ich generell, dass man regelrecht dazu genötigt wird, etwas zu kaufen. Betrug ist es direkt keiner, aber ich kann mir vorstellen, dass den Teilnehmer zuvor nicht explizit davonerzählt wird, dass ihnen dort viele Sachen verkauft werden sollen.

    Du kannst prinzipiell beides sagen, ohne dass eines von beiden "richtiger" als das andere ist. Dabei legst du aber die Betonung auf etwas anderes Im ersten Fall bekommt das "nicht" ein leicht stärkere Betonung, wobei im zweiten Fall das "seit zwei Tagen" eine stärkere Betonung erhält. Wenn du nach dem Klang und der Häufigkeit fragst -> das zweite klingt (meiner Meinung nach) besser, als es das erste tut. Von daher würde ich (persönlich) eher das zweite als das erste sagen.

    短い - short 低い - low (eight, tone, rank, degree, cost, etc.) - can be short as well, but rare (I guess you asked because of 背が低い(せがひく) what you often call just a short (statue), though 背 means height and someone who's short is of a low heigth :D) 車道 - roadway (especially for cars) 道 - simply means road, street (many kinds, mostly smaller ones) 覚める (with が) - to come to one's senses, to become sober or simply to wake up 覚ます (with を) - to metaphorically wake someone up - to dissilusion them or make them realize something ・To "make it short", it's a different between intransitive and transitive. If you don't know the difference between these two types of verbs -> http://www.guidetojapanese.org/transtype.html 外人 = 外国人 The difference between those two is simply that 外人 is more colloquial, I guess it's more used except it's some official or business text/conversation 温度 - just temperature, so I guess just everything else than 気温 lol 気温 - atmospheric temperature; the meteorologic one, temperature outside of weather (often heard in weather reports - probably only heard there xD) Hopefully I could help and if anyone sees a mistake -> catch it and correct it :3

    I personally would translate it as "at the time of ..." or something similiar. In the end you're talking about something that happened at a specific time or a certain time span. What you can often see is something like: 子供のとき - in my childhood, "at the time I had been a child" 高校のとき - in my time at highschool

    That one comes from: te-form of なくす - to lose smth. + しまう - to do something by accident; to finish completely You attach しまう to a te-form to express an action that is done or happened unintentionally. Mostly with a slightly negative connotation to it. So your expression actually means "I lost unwillingly/unintentionally (...)"
