No, I think pitch accents and tones are a little different. NationMaster Encyclopedia explains it well:



But this confuses me, too. Shouldn't there be a third way to pronounce "aba," that being...

SaiyaJedi, thanks so much for the info about the electronic dictionary! It's still very much relevant. I haven't bought one yet due to money issues.

I have a question about pitch accent in...

Can anyone recommend a good electronic dictionary? People seem to favor the ones made by Canon and Sharp. Most of them are geared towards Japanese people learning English, so I wonder how useful...

Thank you!! :smile:

Anyone have "Nolita Fairytale" by Vanessa Carlton?

I can be totally wrong but isn't that sentence incorrect? It looks to me like a passive sentence, so shouldn't it be: 友達は私に信用されます。 ?

I asked my teacher and she said to use を　with 信用する (in an...

I think I understand. This looks like a vague method to figure out whether a verb uses に　or を, but since I have nothing else to fall back on, I'm going to use it and see where it takes me. Thanks for...

I know about the directional focus に　has, since that is why you use it with 行く、帰る、and so forth. But what about verbs like 賛成する (to agree)、　反対する (to oppose)、　負ける (to lose)、触る (to touch)？ I just don't...

That's good to hear. Thank you! :smile:

I have a grammar question now. I never know when to use を　or に　to mark the direct object of verbs unless I've memorized it. To say you've won a game, for...

I have recently been focusing on learning how to write kanji, and I have a question about it. As of now I write them over and over while paying great attention to little details like where the hook...

Seriously!? I'd like a picture of Luffy hugging cute little Chopper, if that's no trouble. :grin:

Ooh, this song is pretty.
Clicky clicky

The name of the song is 如果的事 (I can't read it), and I named the file lala because megaupload doesn't accept chinese characters in the file name.

Anyone got "I Don't Wanna be in Love" by Good Charlotte?

I'm very pleased with the new dub! Great voices, great dialogue, practically no edits, music kept...No complaints from me. I'm glad I finally have a show to look forward to watching every Saturday...

For those who are curious, the fourth page of Oda's messages (Luffy without the eyepatch) is basically him stressing that Luffy's name is spelt "Luffy," with an "L" and not "Ruffy," with an "R." He...

THANK YOU! That list helps more than you can imagine! :grin: I'll definitely look into them~ *throws a box of cookies your way*

They sure take their time...It's certainly reasonable to expect an Advanced edition about now, but you never know. It might take another year or so. ^_^; Speaking of books, do you recommend those?...

Ooooh, now that makes sense! You're a really great help, thank you so much! :grin:

To use a part of my last example, I have also encountered ゆっくり食べた方が健康にいい. This seems like a general statement to make, yet it uses past tense. Confusing...Am I thinking about this correctly? :wassat:...

Ah, sorry. I have another question...

I was reading for practice and came across this sentence:
先に行って待つ方がいいかしら
"I wonder if it's better to go ahead and wait for them."

I learned that in...

These games are really boring and the tickets are going to take a while to get. But maybe if I play a little each day...

For how long will these prizes be available?

Thank you! That cleared everything up. :smile:

I'm confused about something:

[a]何と言いましたか
[b]何だと言いましたか

What is the difference between these two? I thought [a] was "What did you say?" but then I also thought "何だと" was "What did you say?" and...

Anyone have Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down?

That's the remix of Tomodachi (Friends). ^_^

Thank you for the explanation, Audity!

I realize asking for a better version is rather futile...but if anyone happens to have one, please share~

I think what you're looking for is "25 - More and Yet More, the Adventure Continues" in M&SC1.

This isn't so much a request as it is an inquiry, but does anyone else think the quality of the full...

Hello there! I'm Hungarian but my speaking skills are a bit rusty and I can't write at all. :laughing:

I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here. This is pretty much THE place to find anything One...

Anyone have "Legacy" by Nichole Nordeman?

I loved the series the whole way through and I would generally recommend it to anyone. But I think it's one of those "love it or hate it" kind of anime, so if you disliked the first episode, it's...
