What is the meaning of the kanji �u�]�v after someone's name? I've seen this many places; one prominent example being from Neon Genesis Evangelion: one character writes a message to another character (Shinji), and begins the message with �u�V���W����]�v�B
The usage of �u�]�v in this way really confuses me, so if anyone has an idea, I'd really appreciate it! |
The character �] after a name is a substitute for ��. It means "for" someone. So your example �V���W����] could be written �V���W�����. Usually it's older people who write it this way, for example with gifts or flowers.

What does this mean please? |
nihon ni kitai tte kibou site iru XXX wo hotto ke nai yo = (third party) is hoping to come to japan. don't forget/ignore it.
nihonjin ga kiita hou ga hanasi hayai desyou = (you) can speak fast if a japanese person is listening.
i suspect the second sentence is taken out of a bigger one but i think that's what it's saying.

"Yatten da" is contraction of "yatte iru n' da".

This person basically translated it as the same thing as the above:
rabiz wrote: | ore ni tsuitekoi basically means "follow me!" in a very manly manner i guess |
You're thinking of koi--love (��), which is a different kanji than the word koi--rude way of saying "come (here)" (����). _________________

Hmmm... The sentences here are pretty advanced, and while you've got the basic ideas, there are nuances here that can't be interpreted literally.
Here's what they actually mean:
Nihon ni kitai tte kibou shite iru XXX wo hottoke nai yo.
"XXX (someone) wants to come to Japan; I can't just leave him (or her) hanging."
('Hotte oku' here could mean other things, too, depending on the context of the conversation.)
Nihonjin ga kiita hou ga hanashi hayai desho.
"It would be much faster if you just got a Japanese person to ask (for you)."
HTH |
interesting.
