- Views of Nazi Germany from the eyes of the Japanese
Hello,
Firstly, I would like to apologise for the sensitive topic to some, but I'veseen quite a few photos of different Japanese people in cosplay conventions dressed up as members of Nazi Germany's Waffen SS regiment (and quite accurately as well), which has brought me to my question.
If you are natively Japanese, please share your views on the appropriateness
of wearing Nazi Germany's uniforms in public, in Japan.
Thank you
July 23, 201110 - "... and got him laid on a regular basis" To get 'laid' - To have intercourse or sex with. "To get laid" is an idiom, which means when you try to make sense of each individual word, the sentence as a whole makes no sense because you need to know what it means before actually reading it. Other examples may include: "Let the cat out of the bag" (to tell a secret) "A few kangaroos loose in the top paddock" (when used at a person, it means that person is stupid or idiotic) "Shooting through as fast as a Bondi Tram" (means to go through something very quickly) The bottom two idioms I have listed are Australian, and hence people that do not natively speak Australian English will likely have no idea what I am talking about.0 votedApril 17, 20110
- "It is reliable form of energy" You should add a determiner: "It is a reliable form of energy" to improve your coherence and correct your grammar "Today Lithuania has 68 wind turbines and the biggest part of them are in West part of my country, because there is the strongest wind" 'Part' isn't the right word to describe the wind turbines, though you could use 'partition' or "...and most of them are in the West part...." Make sure to also include the determiner 'the', before 'West' for coherence I would rewrite that sentence as: "Today, Lithuania has 68 wind turbines and most of them are in the West part of my country, because there are stronger winds here." If you want to use 'strongest', you need to give more information about the 'strongest winds'. Eg: "Because the strongest winds occur in the West of my Country." "Wind power supplying as much as 1% of Lithuania’s electricity demands." This is a fragmented sentence; You need to have a subject, verb and an object in your sentence. Even though you wrote 'supplying' (which may seem like a verb to non-native English speakers), this word is an Adverb (usually denoted by the -ly ending) and adverbs describe verbs There are no verbs in your sentence, so hence it is a grammatical error You could write something like: "Wind power supplies as much as 1% of Lithuania's electricity demands." "...I think government..." A 'Government' refers to the current political party in your country, and does not hold an equal value in meaning as it does for a person - ie, you can say 'I think James...' or 'I think he...' but not 'I think Government...' because there are many people in a 'Government' and you want to refer to the current Government in your country, so... When you refer to 'Government', you need to write the determiner: 'The' before 'Government'. "I think the Government..." That is all I can suggest, the rest are small and very minor coherence errors, and shouldn't matter as much -Keine0 votedApril 17, 20110
- the word 'lame', as an informal slang (in your sentences) would refer to 'uncool' or 'unpleasant' or 'unpreferable' example: "what a lame idea" this sentence derives a broader meaning from the formal 'lame' - which implies 'a disability' or 'an impairment' as a formal noun, the word 'lame' may mean 'disabled' or 'disadvantaged' example: "the man with the broken leg is a lame" the same formal meaning also works as an adjective: "the man with the broken leg is lame"0 votedNovember 29, 20101
