- たまごを「ふか」さける こんにちはみなさん！ While playing a game In Japanese I completed an achievement with the description "100このたまごを「ふか」さける" I know that it means "hatch/incubate 100 eggs", and I know the first part of the sentence, both word wise and grammatically, but the last part, "「ふか」さける" is a mystery. Could someone please describe in detail what these words mean, how it works grammatically and why ふか is in 「」. Is it maybe some sort of saying? Is this the common way of saying "hatch eggs" in Japanese? よろしくお願いします！January 19, 201670
You can't make it so that only people who know Japanese/are learning Japanese are able to message you. Since you just signed up I'm sure Italki made you show up on other people's (that are learning English but are any nationality) dashboards and that's why you got lots of requests.
Also, anytime you correct or comment on something that is tagged as English you will also show up on all English learning people's dashboards, which might lead to someone messaging you as well.
If however you write Japanese entries it's likely that mostly Japanese speakers will message you, as you will be on their dashboard feed.
Apart from that, your best bet is to write who you're interested in messaging with on your profile, which I see you've already done.
Oh and please be careful with answering just anyone, it happens quite often that people who are interested in sex or scaming you for money write messages...
0 votedAugust 11, 20150- The most effective way of learning vocabulary is to simply get involved with the language in all possible ways. Read books if you're able to. Watch movies in Japanese, or write your own stories. Change the language of your computer programs and phone to Japanese. As I was learning Slovene I used to choose some words at random from a dictionary and then challenge myself to write a story using all of those words. Try to have fun, but most of all get involved as much as possible. Also, as you're in Japan, challenge yourself to only speak Japanese all the time, even if you don't understand everything perfectly at first. I guarantee that you will learn huge amounts of vocabulary, and quickly, by doing this. I hope you find anything helpful!0 votedAugust 3, 20150
- Japanaese adjectives chart I'm a very systematical person, so I like to make charts of whatever I'm learning. I decided to take on the Japanese adjectives but I've realized that not everyone writes the same conjugations online. Here is what I've ended up with. Is anything missing or incorrect? All words are written in rōmaji to make it easier for those who are yet not fluent in reading hiragana/kanji. (Sorry for the bad formatting, Italki doesn't make it easy..) i-adjectives (informal): - atsui (it is hot) - atsukunai (it is not hot) - atsukatta (it was hot) - atsukunakatta (it was not hot) i-adjectives (formal) - atsui desu (it is hot) - atsuikunai desu / atsuku arimasen (it is not hot) (least polite to most polite) - atsukatta desu (it was hot) - atsukunakatta desu / atsuku arimasen deshita (it was not hot) (least polite to most polite) na-adjectives (informal) - kirei da (it is pretty) - kirei ja nai / kirei dewa nai (it is not pretty) (least polite to most polite) - kirei datta (it was pretty) - kirei ja nakatta / kirei dewa nakatta (it was not pretty) (least polite to most polite) na-adjectives (formal) - kirei desu (it is pretty) - kirei ja nai desu / kirei ja arimasen / kirei dewa arimasen (it was pretty) (least polite to most polite) - kirei deshita (it was pretty) - kirei ja nakatta desu / kirei ja arimasen deshita / kirei dewa arimasen deshita (it was not pretty) (least polite to most polite) Are all conjugations placed under the right formality level? Are there any important forms missing anywhere? よろしくおながいします！July 9, 201540
