hi!

i've been playing a new game recently.. final fantasy xi: online..

and most the players... (the good ones anyway) are japanese, i enjoy playing with them but i cannot seem to communicate with them, and it seems they dont like to play with anyone that can't speak english.. not all are like that.. theyre very nice people...

anyway, i was wondering if anyone can help me translate a few phrases for me so i can interact with them while i play?

thanks in advanced! Smile

here they are...

[1] Can you sell that to me privately? I don't wan't to pay the Bazaar tax.

[2]If you are not busy, can you help me out with something please?

[3]I cannot read Japanese, but I can speak a little.

[4]May I party with you even though I am not Japanese?

[5]How can I help you?

__________________________________________

[6]If you're not too busy right now, can you help me with something please?

[7]I'm sorry, I can't read Japanese.

[8]I'll be back in ____ minutes.

[9]I'm sorry, I was already invited to another party.

[10]I can't read Japanese, but I can speak a little.

[11]I can't read Japanese, may I still join the party?

[12]I'm sorry, I'm already in a party.

[13]May I Party with you even though I am not Japanese?

[14]Can you trade me the _itemname_ so I don't pay the _Cityname_ tax?

IMA, HOKANO OKYAKU NO OUTAI WO SHITEIRU NODE, CHOTTO MATTE ITADAKE MASUKA?

I don't understand clearly in what meaning the word "areas" used in the game.
Therefore, translation may be wrong.
�G���A��ύX�����̂ŁA���Ȃ��̍Ō�̃��b�Z�[�W����M�ł��܂���ł����B
'AREA' WO HENKOU SHITANODE, ANATA NO SAIGO NO MESSAGE WO JYUSHIN DEKIMASENN DESHITA.


And you can use these machine translation services.
http://babelfish.altavista.com/
http://www.excite.co.jp/world/

However, they are outputted in Kanji+Kana sentence. In order to know how it should be pronounced, you have to consult a dictionary repeatedly.

But, there are application programs which automates it...

Hey there i'm sure you get alot of this, buuut i need a few phrases translated so that i can use them to communicate what i'm doing with japanese players better. I play final fantasy online, and recently began getting alot more japanese party's then english ones, and it's really difficult communicating what my intentions are ect since i can't speak a word of japanese. So, if someone would be so kind as to translate a few phrases into japanese characters i'd greatly appreciate it Smile

1. Song for melee attackers

2. Song for mages

3. Song for health regen

4. Thank you for inviting me to join your group

5. I'm really tired, can I leave in 15 minutes?

6. Time to take a nap! (as if i'm forcefully putting something to sleep)


hmm i think that's everything i'll need to communicate with the japanese party's i get. Thanks again!

No. What 100C wrote was fine and is very polite.
������ is usually used for "helping" someone who is in trouble.
eg: saving someone's life, or helping someone with a serious problem.

Again, what 100C was fine. That is the literal translation, yes, but when someone just comes up and talks to you, �ǂ������܂������H sounds more normal for the situation here.
If you are a shop, though, ��������Ⴂ�܂��Iis normal.

���肪�Ƃ�w



oh and... the "help me" sentence..
when i was asking for help.. the context was like...

more like; can you help me complete a quest?

not like... help! im in danger!

i was wondering if theres a major difference..

because the ingame translator has

"Help me out!"
translated... and a JP in game told me it was used for like... when my life is in danger and i needed help~ not like.. seeking some aid or favor... Bleah



anyway.. kokuou�T��

After doing a bit of research, this is what i have so far...

1. Song for wizard
���@�g���̂��߂̉�

2. Song for warrior
��m�̂��߂̉�

3. Regeneration
��

4. Time to take a nap <name>!

After looking up a bit of grammar and form, i think they are the correct ways of communicating my intentions. but i'm not sure. trying to learn japanese grammar and form in 24 hours is kinda hard ><

For number 5, "I'm really tired, is it ok to leave in 15 minutes" or whatever, a good translation is:
