They're sometimes using words that aren't in dictionaries tho. So I have to Google it and figure out what that means with the images or websites that pops up. One girl writes ���� instead of�@���� too. I have no idea why. |
when you figure it out...let us know why...oshiete kudasai.

I'm writing a paper about pachinko for one of my classes and I made an enquete I want to send to my Japanese friends and teachers (and everybody else I know/once have in my emailaddresses). My Japanese teacher already checked my enquete, but now I have to write the email. I;m not really good in being very polite, so I was hoping if someone can check my Japanese here. This is what I came up with:
�搶�ƗF�B�̊F����ցA
-Here I�fd like to put a phrase about the weather and I found this on the internet, but I feel it�fs a bit too polite:
���N�͗�N�ɂȂ��₦���ޏH�ɂȂ�܂����B�F�l�A�����₩�ɂ��߂����ł�������Ⴂ�܂���.
���̓p�`���R�ɂ��Ę_���������Ă��܂��B���{�l���p�`���R�ɂǂ��v�������ׂ����̂Ȃ̂ŁA�Z���A���P�[�g�����܂����B
�P�`�Q�����炢������̂ŁA���Ԃ���������A�L�����܂��B
�����͂�낵�����肢���܂��A
Krisje Meeuwsen
Ps: ����ɏ�����p�̏ꍇ�́A�����Ȃ����A����������
Is this polite enough? Or should some things be changed?
�h'd like to have the enquetes back as soon as possible. Should I write that in the email as well? Or do you think if Japanese see this email, they'll respond immediately?
thank you for your answer in advance
ps: I've only got 37 adresses so far, but I'd like to have more Japanese. Is there someplace on the internet where I can put my enquete and get a lot of response?

Seems to be a girl thing. They replace all the kana by their tiny equivalent (half width kana), or use 2 or 3 characters or symbols to make 1 kana. It's like writing |-| instead of H.
So you end up with something like ���� or �F�B����[�Ϩ. You probably need to be a gyaru to understand all that crap.

I'm SOOOOO sorry, guys!
It's been uber-crazy with me lately!
So much work, school, and just general hecticness!
I haven't forgot about y'all, though! I'm here to spread some <3.
Anywho, yeah, those things you see like:
���� (sometimes even �у� ���� <--- supposed to be �� ��)
are called "�M��������" (gal moji).
It's basically the Japanese version of |_337 5p34|< (leet speak) that girls use in Japan. I don't know if it's all that popular anymore, but it was for a while. Incredibly hard to read, but creative, I'll give them that.
You can read all about it here:

Hello
I have a question ...
What's the difference between �� (ai) and �� (koi) because I think they both mean love but when do I use one and when the other?
Thanks for your help ^.^

Hi all! I know that this is the old word for India (used also in Chinese and Korean). Now I see that it appears in contexts like �V����������x��. An example:
http://www.sumire201.com/tabehoudai/tabehoudai_zukan/detail/indoya_shinjuku_higashiguchi_ten.html
I have some knowledge of Japanese, but it does not go so far to do a Internet search to find out the origin of �V��. Namely, does it have a connection with bamboo (��) or was it just a pronunciation of an initially non-Chinese word (Tianzhu - Chinese, Tenjiku - Japanese)?
Other question would be about �V��������, do you know if this group is pronounced Tenjiku yume ryouri or does it have other specific pronunciation (eventually other meaning than "Tenjiku dream food")? I say this because when I search on-line there appear many results with �V����, making me wonder whether this is an established expression with a specific meaning.
Many thanks

we call India(��x) �V��(TianZhu).the name is origin from Buddhism of China.
so, �V�� is ��x. i think it is means "the dream food of tenjiku". _________________
