Check to see if I translated Japanese to English correctly?

Question:

でも、りつちゃん、左手の薬指 って ‘婚約指輪’ みたいだろう。。。

For the most part I think it says:

But Ritsu-chan, the ring finger on the left hand makes it seem like an ‘engagement ring’ more or less…

What's throwing me off is the 'dayou' part. I know dayou doesn't necessarily have a meaning, but the translators I'm using, of which there are 8 of them, won't translate what's after the 'engagement ring' part, though I know "mitai" more or less means 'want/wish to see"

The dayou is just throwing it all off. Can anyone help me and tell me if my translation is more or less acceptable/correct? If not, would you showing me my mistakes and how to make the English translation sound more in tune with the Japanese meaning? Thank you!

Answer:

- A natural translation provided by a Japanese -


"でも、りつちゃん、左手の薬指 って ‘婚約指輪’ みたいだろう。。。"

"But Ritsu, if I wear it on my left ring finger, it almost looks like an ‘engagement ring’, doesn’t it...?"


Each word in question naturally translates into:

～みたい(mitai) = almost look like + noun
～だろう。。。(darou) = ~ ,doesn’t it? (with over 90% certainty)


I’m afraid that your translation is quite literal and you don’t seem to have a firm grasp of both these words (みたい and だろう) in this Japanese sentence.

Incidentally, だろう is pronounced (darou), not (dayou).


I hope this explanation has given you some insights into the correct usage of these words.

Sapporo is the cosmopolitan main city on Hokkaido, but does not get a lot of snow until early December. The best places are ski resorts like Niseko, Furano, Rusutsu and Kiroro.

Why is it that Chinese restaurants inside the malls are the best while outside are not as good. I am looking for chinese restaurants that serve the same Teriyaki chicken that is so good in the malls but I can never find anything. Any one have any suggestions?

That might be why you aren't finding a good Chinese restaurant with good teriyaki.

I live in Japan and got caught speeding by the camera going 60kph over. I want to know what will happen.?

Question:

I want to know how long will it take for a notice to come in the mail? About how much will my fine be? How long will my license be suspended for or will I lose it? I got caught in Yokkaichi, Mie October of 2011. This will be my first driving offense, and I have a gold level license.

Answer:

The letter to request you to come to the police would come, usually in 2 weeks, but it sometime take long up to about 90 days, in case like you got caught in other prefecture, or the police took long to determine the owner of the vehicle, or just by the beurocracy.

You can forget it if the letter did not come in 90 days. Some of these speeding cameras are fake.

You first need to go police in certain period noticed in the letter. These date can be negotiable, but not neglectable.
You would be requested to agree you actually did it. Your driver licence would be suspended for 90 days. I guess you can take some training class to make it shorter like 60 - 45 days.

Later on, you would also recieve a letter from the local minor court to come. The date is negotiable, you can just make a call to ask them re-arrange the date, but it's not neglectable.
The judge would ask you if you agree the facts. He might ask you some excuse or background reasons.. I don't recommend you to makeup some excuse, that fake excuse would make your impression worse. If you accept the fact, you need to pay some fine up to 100,000 Yen for 60kph speeding, depending on the judge. If you did not accept the fact, you would need to have formal troublesome trial.

Can I get a Japanese work visa?

Question:

I don't have a degree, but I'm fluent in Japanese. I've heard of people getting work visas based on Japanese fluency. Is this true? Can I get visa, just because I'm fluent in Japanese?

Answer:

You don't actually need a bachelor degree from university to get a work visa. I don't know why people say that. I know someone with just a few college courses and he got a 3 year work visa.

What you do need though is a job. So, indirectly your fluent Japanese can get you a work visa.

A company hires you or promises to hire you, then they provide paperwork, you fill out some paperwork, then you apply for your visa either at an embassy or consulate overseas, or at an immigration office within Japan. They decide how long you can stay. It's usually 1 year, but sometimes 3 years. Renewing is easy if you are still working.

Other country's food?

Question:

We had Uchinancyu Festival a couple week ago at Okinawa, Japan.
It is a festival for Okinawan people who immigrated in all over the world.
There are so many food stall from around the world that I wondered what to eat.
Eventually, I bought Choripán which is a type of sandwich with chorizo invented in Argentina.
To be honest, I didnt like it. I have tried Brazilian food, Thai food, Korean food, Chinese food etc...
Anyway, I think Chinese food is the best for me.(Needless to say, Japanese food is the best but weed out it)

Which country food is the best for you? ※except own country's one.

Answer:

Eimi-san: Nihon no ryori wa ichiban!!! lol. I'm American, and I love Japanese food. It was my first ethnic food that I really liked, but I've never had kaiseki or anything really exotic. I'd like to try. I also like:

Thai
Peruvian
Vietnamese
Afghan
Cantonese
Italian
Mexican
Korean
French
Trinidadian
Greek
Hmmmmm... there's not that much I don't like! I'm not that crazy about food from land-locked cultures, like Mongolia, Tibet, Bavaria (Germany), Hungary, etc. Not enough fish and green vegetables!

How hard is it to become a ALT in japan?

Question:

Answer:

Not easy. You need a BA / BS degree just to qualify for a work visa. You also need a job offer before you get there. These jobs are no longer as easy to get as they once were some years ago. The competition is now steeper, and schools can now be as picky as they want to be.

How to say needs in japanese? I need (object), and I need to do something.?

Question:

I know using hitsuyou and iru say I need (blank), like kagi ga hitsuyou desu means I need a key and konpyu-ta- ga hitsuyou desu means I need a computer, but when do I use iru and when do I use hitsuyou? Would replacing hitsuyou with iru mean the same thing? Is one formal and informal?And how would I say I don't need a computer/key, I didn't need a computer/key, and I needed a computer/ key? ( Negative, past negative, and past tenses for both). I only have the present tense for hitsuyou down.

Now how would I say I need to do something? There is base 1 + nai to ikemasen and base 1 + nakucha ikemasen.
Tabenai to ikemasen ( I need to eat ) and yomanakucha ikemasen ( I need to read). Again, which do I use? Nai to ikemasen or Nakucha ikemasen? Is one formal and informal? For these also, how would I say, I don't need to eat/read, I didn't need to eat/read, and I needed to eat/read.( Negative, past negative, and past tenses for both). I only know how to use the present tense.
A simply put detailed explantion would be very nice please. Something simple that I can understand easily, and an actual explained answer, not an answer key. Thank you soo much for your consideration in answering and reading my question.

Answer:

The difference between hitsuyou and iru, is the definition. Hitsuyou means 'necessary, needed, essential,etc'. So you use it when it's really necessary.
Here are some example sentences:
歯医者に行く必要はない。
haisha ni iku hitsuyou wa nai
"You don't need to go to the dentist."

私たちは生きていくためには衣、食、住が必要です。
watashi tachi ha ikiteikutame ni wa koromo, shoku, juu ga hitsuyou desu.
"We need food, clothes, and a home in order to live."

For iru, you can use it when it's just a regular need.
Here is an example sentence
今のところお金は要らない。
ima no tokoro okane wa iranai.
"I don't need money right now."

and for the 'naitoikemasen' questions,
it's not 'naitoikemasen'. When you need to go something, for example, you need to go, you say
"ikanakerebanaranai.'
for eating: tabenakerebanaranai"

the slang way is just " nakucha" or "nakya"
example:
"Ikanakucha" "Ikanakya"
I have to go.

I don't really know how to put it in negative form. I think it's
"nakerebanaranai ga arimasen/ de arimasen" but I'm not completely sure

What are some essential things to know if moving to Japan?

Question:

I'm not moving for at least four more years, but I thought this was important to know. What are some things I should and shouldn't do, how will people treat me, and what are some good jobs there? In case it matters, I am European.

Answer:

The first thing to know is you just can't move there. You need a BA / BS degree to qualify for a work visa. You also need to have a job offer before you get there.
Most foreigners teach English. And most of them are native English speakers.
"European" isn't a nationality. French, Greek????????
You'll need a have a job skill a Japanese doesn't have.

Could anyone please suggest a good book in Japanese?

Answer:

There are millions of Japanese books in the world. Without any clue, it's difficult to suggest any.

Japan what will happen?!?!?

Question:

I extremely wanted since 7 years ago to one day become an adult and travel to Japan...Since the earthquake and tsunami destroyed Japan, now I may not visit until many years. How long do you guys think it will take to mostly restore Japan so I can finally visit it??? It might not even be as good as it once was because of economical issues worldwide. Will the country ever be repaired as it used to be, not as good, or will it become better than what it was... :3

Answer:

Uh, 99%+ of Japan was unaffected by the earthquake / tsunami. Most of the damages are in the Fukushima / Sendai areas. It will takes years to repair the damages. Many areas will never be as they once were. Some areas sunk after the quake happened.
You can visit Japan now. Hokkaido is fine. So is Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima and most all other cities...

Should I drop my Japanese Class?

Question:

This semester I decided to take three language classes because I have not taken my accuplacer math tests and I do not want to take remedial math. So far I am doing fine in Arabic and Chinese but I cannot seem to pass tests in Japanese. I cannot understand the Hirigami. I find Chinese Characters are so much easier to understand then the Japanese. And I seem to be getting A's on my Arabic tests. I know I do not have as much need for Japanese as I do for the others. I just got my TEFL certificate and I want to teach in China , Russia, or Middle East. I usually do fine with Japanese if I am able to use the Kanji instead of the others. We had to write the times and I did the entire thing in Kanji and I got all of them

Answer:

It is not compulsory to learn Japanese and besides you are doing well enough in the other languages. Pay wise, you will earn much better in China, Russia or the Middle East than in Japan

Are tokyo's neon lights back on fully?

Question:

Hi, I'm wondering if Tokyo's famous neon lights and signs are all back on now after all the power cut backs and power savings.

Not just some of them but are all of them back on to there full glory? And will they be on in the upcoming winter (Jan 2012)??

Thanks!

Answer:

No. Since Fukushima Plant and other plants stopped its operation, neon lights in Tokyo are not back to its pre-earthquake level.

And it will NEVER be because there will be no placement for those plants.

Japan will never be like it was before March 2011.

How can i go to a college in japan?

Question:

im 15 years old and i love japan there art,culture and society also i practice ninjutsu so i also want to practice the traditional ninjutsu so i decided i wanted to go to college there and live there maybe for the rest of my life but i dont know how i can go there for college so if anyone has the answer i would like to know thank you

Answer:

Have you heard of the Monbukagakusho scholarship? It's a free-ride scholarship given to potential students who want to study in Japan, courtesy of the Japanese government. And when I say free ride, I mean they pay all tuition, school fees, and you get a stipend to live off of while you focus on your studies. Here's the catch: once you arrive, you're not allowed to leave Japan until you graduate (anywhere between 2 - 6 years, depending on the school). Also, the application process, while free, is very long (over a year, start to finish), very complicated, and very strict.

They're doing this, I'm assuming, because of the aging population crisis in Japan right now. They're quickly running short on future workers, so they're now having to import a workforce. I haven't tried out for it yet (screening for the 2012 school year is over), but I hope to get my chance the moment it becomes available next year. Keep the faith!

What is a visa to japan and how do you get it?

Question:

me and my friend want to move to japan but somebody said we need a "visa to japan"

Answer:

A visa is a piece of paper in your passport that shows that you're allowed to be somewhere (i.e. Japan) for a certain amount of time. It also informs what you're allowed to do in the country in that time.

So, for example, your country might have an agreement with Japan that you can visit Japan without a visa for up to 90 days. If you stay longer without a visa, that's illegal, and you could get deported.

If you want to stay longer, you need a visa. There are different kinds. You could get a student visa in order to go to college, or you could get a working visa which allows you to work in Japan.

Assuming you just want to move to Japan, get a job, live life, then you need a company to sponsor your visa. In other words, someone has to agree to hire you and do some paperwork for you. You can either get hired outside of Japan, and get the visa at your local Japanese embassy or consulate, or you could go to Japan, find a job, and get it done there.

Usually you need post-secondary education to get a working visa in Japan, like a bachelor degree.

For a student visa, you have to be accepted to an approved school in Japan. That's probably going to mean paying tuition to the school before you even start.

My name is Yarou and would like to visit japan?

Question:

Hello, My name is Jaro wich is pronounced exactly like yarou and I'm planning on visiting Japan but I have several questions on what to do with this dilema.
As you might already know my name is japanese for several meanings including some offensive ones like jerk, bastard and maybe even more.

Japanese middle school bags?

Question:

So in Japan they have these special school bags.
Now I was wondering what you take with you to school?
In the netherlands we take our books for the subjects and our lunch to school...
Is it the same in Japanese Middle school?

Thanks!

>Is it the same in Japanese Middle school?

Yes, schools are schools no matter where you are.

We don't need lunch if a school offers school lunch. It depends on each school.

Good career choices for a foreigner in japan?

Question:

i'm wanting to move to tokyo, but i don't know what i could do as a stable job over there.

Answer:

As mentioned, the most common form of employment is as an English teacher. You will need a degree and a job offer to get a visa.

Other than that, it will depend on your skills and experience. Can you speak Japanese? How well? Do you have a degree in business, engineering, law? Are you a published scientist? What do you have to offer?

Whatever you choose to do, you're going to need a degree and job offer to get a visa.


[edit; I hadn't heard about the students ranting about foreign students cheapest. Well, I hope it prompts some of the lazier ones into actually working during their 4 years at university. We've had students grumble about the increase in foreign students in Tsukuba - taking all the dorms, blah blah blah. Of course, these student's views are short -sighted and poorly thought out. These malcontents tend to be a small minority happily, although it is true a larger number of young Japanese would gladly seal Japan off from the rest of the world. Of course, such an action would be the beginning of the end of Japan as a world leading power.]

How do i say this in Japanese?

Question:

"He will pay the fee for me."

Thank you!

Answer:

Well it depends on context.

What do you mean by fee?

If you use 彼 which is direct translation of he, it would mean he's your BF. But is that really your BF?

Addition:
You are not answering my questions.

Who is he? What kind of application is that?

Addition2:
I need more detail.

When we apply for a grad-school in Japan, you have to take its exam. So are you applying to take its exam?

Or are you paying now to join it without an exam or after exam?

Addition3:
>"since he's in Japan,
友人が日本にいますので、

>I asked him to pay the application fee for me by proxy"
代理で学費を支払うようお願いしました。

What do Japanese people do if they don't know the meaning of kanji?

Question:

Answer:

Well, I don't know what you mean by "don't know".

Japanese people usually know the meaning of most kanji used in our life.

If there is any kanji we don't know, we can look it up on a dictionary, google, or ask others.
