 あの。。何これ?? 失礼だが、誰か日本語を分かることできる? 今、おれは英語ができんだそうです。

ルーシー。。謝ることができたならいいのにと思うけど。。分からねぇだろう。くそ。もうしわけねぇ。

そして、スティーヴンは今もへんらしいね。なぜだろう。。

簡単だった人生が急に難しくなった。

もう、頭がいてぇー。誰か助けてくれなー!

(ooc: yes, all this nonsense means Neil's been hit with the Lost in Translation curse. He can speak conversational Japanese on a normal day, but right now that's all he can do. If any one else speaks, yeah, he thinks he's some sort of cool tough guy which is why he talks like this. Also if his grammar is a little messy, it's because it's his (and my) second language. He (we) is (are) doing his (our) best.]

[This face. And then Neil is half-choking, half-nevous-laughing.]

へー!これは私に起こったことより悪いだ!スチーヴンが女だぞう!

Neil, is this a curse or are you trying to impress people with Japanese again?

I have no idea what you're saying. But it sounds cool.

[He holds up one finger to indicate the first choice.]

カースだ。おまえも、ね。

そうと思うか? あの。。ありがとう。でも、とても面倒だ。

Have you tried writing?

Oh my god, I can actually READ some of this. : D

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
...Neil, you're speaking Japanese. You know that, right?

[identity profile] sempreadagio.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... uhm... okay. These device things should have a translator on them.

=D You can? YAY~

はーい。やめてことできないだそうだ。

The kanji is lost on me, sadly, since we haven't done much of that yet, but the kana...:D

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
...Right, lemme just get myself a dictionary or something so I can understand you...

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
そうですね。どのようにかと思うぞ。

I THINK IT WOULD BE TOTALLY WITHIN THE RULES FOR ME TO SWITCH TO SPACED KANA FOR YOU. =] =]

にほんご の じしょ が もってる? シーチーに?

OH WOW THEN I CAN READ IT BETTER? My vocab isn't the best, but dammit I can do this!!

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
I mean a Japanese to English dictionary, man.

[His eyes light up. He grabs a notebook and scribbles something down in it. But then his face falls, and he holds it up for Stephen to see. It reads: "英語で書くことができる?"]

だめ。

[identity profile] ladyinaband.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Shit.

So, uh. It's Stephen. In case you didn't know. I'm a girl this weekend.

Done and done. =D I know how kanji can be a bitch, haha.

あぁ、そう か。 たすけ に なる かも しれません。

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
はい。見た。

I'm still learning, but hey, if I can read it, its a good start, right...?

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
...And, got it!

Okay, gimme a minute...

...yeah, you think? I can't understand you without one!

[identity profile] ladyinaband.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Glad that's clear?

Yup! And to be fair, even native speakers struggle with kanji sometimes. 'cause it's ridic.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
うん。じゃ、 この しゅうまつ、おまえ は おまえ じゃ ない だね。へん だぞ。

Its because symbols can mean multiple things. And you have to draw them a specific way...

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2011-08-07 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, Dulcie and I got switched this weekend. Thank you for noticing.

。。おまえはおっぱいを持っています。

Hold on. I'm going to find out if there's Babel Fish anywhere on the network.

[A few minutes of clicking, and...]

...something about tits?

And there are just so MANY of them. I've studied so hard and grade school kids still know more. orz
