I have but one thing to say:
Nani > Desu. That will be all.  |
| HyperHacker Posts: 4831/5072 |
Well if you really wanted to be anal about it, both are correct. |

Well if you want to split hairs, I originated from a UTERUS, not balls ;( |
| jeff Posts: 199/213 |
you originated from some dude's balls, not 2chan. |
| Kailieann Posts: 772/808 |
If you plan to reflect, I shall hold the mirror. |
| Yoronosuku Posts: 1158/1239 |
I originated on 2chan, does that make me some dumb bullcrap? T-T your words, they are powerful. I need to go reflect. |
| jeff Posts: 197/213 |
none of this shit matters. it's just some dumb bullcrap that probably originated on 2ch then ended up on /b/. |

Perhaps, but you're no Ketsumeishi  |

Damn, still can't get unicode export to work. ... I think I just made Japanese rap song... |
| Kailieann Posts: 760/808 |
unicode stands for 'universal code', and it works on every decent browser, regardless of your encoding settings.
And yes, 才 is a valid kanji for age, and is far more common than 歳. And, windwaker: Nothing originates from 4chan /b/ As I said before, the 'desu' fad originated from the anime Rozen Maiden. It was then picked up by 2channel, and 4chan copied 2chan (as usual). |

Originally posted by Kailieann This I know, I only spaced it for the ease of Nihongo newbs because I posted in Japanese, Romanji and translated English. I've studied Japanese for 3 years in highschool. But the Japanese text I use was made in a Japanese word processor (JWPce), and I neglected to change the clipboard export format. Plus I don't know what unicode is. By the way Yoronosuku, JWPce's dictionary has a conflict with my personal education. Is 才 a prober kanji for explaining someone's age? Is JWPce's dictionary's dialect just different from my sensei's? |

Originally posted by ztiks It originated from 4chan /b/ so, it's probably "I'm making fun of jap anime fags". You of all people should know this. |

私は日本語が分かられない人です。五月によって、２００漢字を以上学ばなくちゃいけないんです。敬語が好きじゃないです。「です」を話すのが楽しいです。魚の中で、Ｂａｂｅｌｆｉｓｈは最悪です。
I am a person who doesn't understand Japanese, and in May I am doomed. Babelfish sucks. |

I had some random guy I didn't know IM me on AIM a few months ago, asking me some questions. When I replied that I had no idea what he was talking about and he must have meant to talk to someone else, his reply was something along the lines of "oh, right, [DESU about 4000 times]".  I guess he was trying to DoS me with a ridiculously large message, but it only ended up kicking him off instead.  Why, I'll probably never know. |

Let the actual Japanese person enlighten you all on this
desu really DOES mean is though, more or less. You cannot say Watashi ga hito (I am some person), without the desu. Because it is saying, is. Watashi - me, I ga - particle, emphasis on subject (could be wa, emphasis on action) hito - person desu - form of am, in this case. Otherwise, it would just translate as I person. Similarly, Watashi ga hito de wa arimasen (or Watashi wa hito janai) could be NOT to be. Again, Watashi - I, me ga - particle hito - person de wa arimasen/janai - am NOT. Notice how it takes the place of desu, making it "am not". Remove the janai and you're back with I person. Similarly, if you say Watashi wa okimas (I wake up), it is wrong. You need the desu, since it means basically I am waking up, or I will be waking up (the future and present forms of speech are the same). Or else, you get I waking up. That does not sound right, because it is not right. That is how it is. It just is, no matter what any one else says.
edit: it is not compulsory it is just proper for formal main-dialect speech. Of course, if you're osaka you say the hell with that. You also run yellow lights, listen to Kanjani8, and make up words mid-sentence, all the while everyone involved in the conversation somehow knowing what you mean. But that's besides the point. |
