天 << is the top horizontal stroke longer than the next horizontal stroke?

@Flaw はい

びっくりした I nearly died from shock

I had my volume all the way up because a youtube video was really soft

the chat ping sound really packs a punch

はは

in my computer's font the top stroke is shorter

へえ～

it's also shorter in my memory since I learned 天 from chinese

夫　これは、上のほうが短い

@Flaw it looks longer here

末　未　これは反対

末、すえ

未、み

but I've learned to doubt my chinese especially since it was only after studying japanese that I started to fix a lot of my errors such as the stroke order of 女 and all kanji that use that as a radical. As well as the "boat" radical on 運 and 遅, I never knew that came last

中国語だと、形が違うとか？

天 (chinese) has the top stroke shorter I think...

そうなんだ～

but I'm full of doubts now hahaha

中国語の先生、私と、「田」の書き順が違った。

日本語と中国語で、書き順が違うらしい。

haha I get lazy and I draw a box, then put a plus sign in it

"Now, the time where a boy has solved the Millennium Puzzle and released the Dark Games has come." looked like machine translated to me for a moment.

でも・・・

両方あるねえ・・

I've been writing them the same length in my assignment hahaha

for plausible deniability

ah yes, the trick of having handwriting so bad your teacher can't tell if you've spelt the word right or wrong

はは

@oals なんで released になってんだろう・・

...I hate that guitar pick sound too.

遊戯王のビデオ、って言ってはったよね

I wonder if there's a way to make a personalised version of the notification sound

ってあるので

Oh, there's a speaker icon on the top right.

I would replace it with youtube.com/watch?v=9WR2bNmt_-c

あっ、

There's this, but there's a comment saying it doesn't work any more:

千年パズルを「解き」

の、「解き」を、

released にしてしまったとか？

でも、一回、solved って訳してるよね・・・

なんか、単純に間違えたのかな・・・・

@DanHulme test

maybe it's implied from the context that when it's solved, something is released, and something is inherited in the same time frame

I think he solved the puzzle and inherited the throne / leadership / other

so the meaning is still correct in saying "released" but it just doesn't match with the word used?

I think when the translators worked on it, they didn't simply do a translation of the subtitles but also took into consideration the other things going on?

(I don't really know what's going on for that question, I'm just thinking of plausible reasons assuming that the given sentence was true)

Right, it's from the series 'yu-gi-oh'.

@DanHulme Oh they tried to change the sound

@choco yes

... and it doesn't work anymore

so it says... I can't test it on this machine

does 直接 resist particles when used as an adverb?

そうですね

I initially thought it was 直接に連絡する

since に is the usual particle for adverbs right

「直接電話する」とか

「直接連絡する」とか

is there 直接な+something ?

う～ん

言わないかな・・・

直接的に、直接的な・・・とかならありそう

直接の~?

あ、「直接の」はありますね

is this an appropriate time for me to say something like 「不思議ですね」 ?

そうですねｗ
