- Punctuation is everything ! A funny page about punctuation I felt like sharing (^___^) http://theoatmeal.com/comics/semicolon To the moderators : No I am not involved in their book sales nor is this an advertisement in any form. It's purely altruistic and educational. Please don't ban me. =)January 17, 201300
- They are both synonyms. (falling down) There is a subtle difference though. 摔 - Has a more 'slipping' kind of implication. Like slipping off a cliff or on a banana peel. 跌 - Has a more 'tripping' kind of implication. Like catching your foot on a rock. (falling straight down) Those are the only differences and because it's really subtle, no one would correct you if you prefer the use of one over the other. Helps to know though !. (^____^) edit : There are some (rare) instances where you cannot substitute one for the other. Falling off a balcony you must use 摔。 It's strange to say 从阳台跌出去， but it makes sense if you say 从阳台摔出去。My guess is that even though it's a balcony, it's from a high place (like a cliff) and so must use 摔。 Probably helps to think that most balcony accidents start by someone 'slipping'. 跌 is also always used in an 'accident' context.摔 can be intentional. eg. 我们一起摔到了 = O 我们一起跌倒了 = O 我把他摔到了 = O 我把他跌倒了 = X (has to be accidental) 我害他摔到 = O 我害他跌倒 = O (It's your fault, but still an accident) Which is why wrestling is called 摔跤 and not 跌跤. Really though....no one will tend to correct you. Just take note of the 2 examples I gave you and you'll be fine. (^____^)0 votedAugust 11, 20121
- Can i say this ? / 言葉遣い After listening to more programs and watching more videos, I'm beginning to notice some small expressions can be shortened to sound more natural. When I don't believe what someone says : 1.) 本当に？ (textbook) 2.) ええ、まじ？(most common) 3.) 嘘つけ ！(only heard once) ** 気持ち悪い is also often shortened to キモイ So after kendo practice the other night, my sempai asked me what I thought about the Olympics match the day before. I replied 「ひどくて見てられない」。 It seems really long, would it be more natural if i shorten it to ： 1.) 「見苦しい」 2.) 「ブサイク」 ** The context here is that it's ugly and difficult to watch. Is the context easily understood or must I add 「見ていて」 in front of both ? 「見ていて見苦しい」 「見ていてブサイク」August 11, 201230
Today I feel depressed.... (<-- multiple periods are not good)
A few days ago I was find found a part-time job.It was an automotive surveyor role and I needed to go for the job interview. It was about the work of automotive survey.And I needed to make an appointment to access. [1]
*1- Never start a sentence with the word "And"
At the beginning[2], everything the interview was going smoothly. But the questionnaire carried out to the middle of the time, his boss broke into the meeting,then interrupted our talking, he hastened back to work. [3] Then the boss barged into the meeting room and interrupted my interview, taking the interviewer with him.*2 - Not wrong, but better to say "At first"
*3 - You don't need to say middle because you already said it was going smoothly in the beginning. So anything disruptions would be somewhere in the middle if not the end.
Then I probably left half of the problem did not ask him I still had some unanswered questions and I begged his boss to give me some time, but she not only refused my request,but also threatened to hurt me.So I had to leave right now away. [4] At that time, I did not feel unhappy, I think thought of it as a good learning experience. After all, it is not easy to make money.
*4 - Your article is written in the past tense, so keep all all tenses past. But for the last sentence I kept it as present tense because it was not easy to make money and it still isn't easy. =)
However,What I did not completed caused a lot of trouble, I have to spend a lot of time to resolve it."I'm confused here. Did you get the job ? Who were you talking to in the room ? I'm sure it wasn't a customer because he had to get back to work."
NOW Now,I would also like to think about it . if I should I spend so much energy to do part-time work, or in the focus on my freshman year, when it is a good time to where I can learn more.It is a big problem to me now...╮(╯▽╰)╭
I tried my best to understand what you were trying to write, but I still think I might have understood some bits wrong. 要是理解错了，请多多原谅！
