7:42 AM

「楽しみです」かな？

楽しかろうー

I think University will be fun :)

楽しかろう←古語？

Eh?

I'd say 楽しみです

7:44 AM

yeah you know that!!

えへへ

there are still some grammatical constructions that take that form of adjectives though

i can't remember what..

どんなに楽しかろうとも？

おお

does that make sense

ですね

7:45 AM

i can't remember but yeah

although some people do still use かろう in 熊本弁

不思議ばいー

へ～

I'm so confused as to where this has lead

そぎゃんこつしきらん

？

sorry i hijacked the conversation

7:46 AM

ｗｗｗ

that's ok :)

it's interesting

but if i can be 正直 for a moment 熊本弁 is not very かっこいい

そぎゃんこつしきらん＝そんなことできない？

yes

ほう・・・

7:48 AM

そうつたい

？

そうだねー

What is つたい？

the つ

usually it's just たい but for some reason people say つ in front of it

sometimes

へ～～～

7:50 AM

i don't know how widespread that is though

oh wow

i didn't know にがごり is 方言

にがごり？

苦いゴリラ

違いますー

にがうりのことですってば

えええ

ゴーヤー

i did think it was weird that there were 2 very similar names for it though

ok time to download some decks :)

@ちょこれーと - スカイプがありますか？

7:59 AM

@Shazer2 スカイプ、持ってない～

What is that kanji?

持つ・もつ=have

this is all getting so serious so fast..

I asked in a non-creepy way

ごめん

aha nobody's judging

8:01 AM

you were!

:P

スカイプやGoogle Hangoutを使うと、

man I wish I could read kanji :(

パソコンが死ぬ・・・

Because my PC is 安物・・・

使う＝つかう、 use

死ぬ＝しぬ、dies

安物＝やすもの...

ええと、

cheap!

cra...

8:03 AM

crap?

う・・

i'd like to spin..

crap=う〇こ？

鱗？

or う〇ち

うろこｗｗｗ

8:05 AM

yeah crap is fecal but it's not a bad word

it's what you would say instead of shit!

おおお

okay

@TokyoNagoya so you won't change your username

ええ名前思いつかへんねん。で、考えるのももう面倒くさなってきたし・・

How bout...

Kyoto Nara

www

変わらないじゃん

8:11 AM

ワシ関西関係あらへんし・・

Wish I could read all this

If only...

Tokyo san is being mean

let it be your motivation to study

do you have rikaichan installed?

or rikaikun on chrome

In German,

I think it's

Tokio ist gemein.

Why German?

8:13 AM

ｗｗｗ

Just because I'm learning it

Oh!

がんばれ！

Danke! ^^

Damnit! xD

I forgot the Japanese word!

Hmm...

Oh, "Danke"?

I think - どういたしまして！

8:15 AM

Oh I see

Is that right?

Yes~~~

Yay!

be back soon

but some people say we don't use どういたしまして in daily conversation

In the world of Japanese as a foreign language, yes.

8:16 AM

what instead?

Do we? @TokyoNagoya

not in Japan

i'd just say いいえ

Yeah

I've never said どういたしまして in my whole life except n English classes where I had to translate "Thank you."

I mean "You are welcome"

8:18 AM

edit 機能が使えますよ

just like how I don't think in English we actually say "you're welcome" very much

You don't?

maybe we say "you're welcome" more often than you say "どういたしまして"

ほう・・

but i feel like the more common response is like "sure" or "no problem" or "don't mention it" or

there are many choices

8:20 AM

へ～～

and "you're welcome" is just one amongst many

メモしておこう・・・

で、

@TokyoNagoya username?

ほんまに知らんかった？

なんとなくなら・・・ｗｗ

いつも忘れますからね

"Sure"で十分だよ。 "You're welcome."は長すぎる。

8:23 AM

Sureって・・・

そうなんだぁ

じゃあ、usernameはsureで

なんでやねん！

短いし

Isn't なんでやねん Osaka dialect?

yes indeed

what's it mean?

8:28 AM

though @Tokyo is not from or in Osaka

I remember my host family saying it

impostor..

what does it mean?

@TokyoNagoya How would you translate なんでやねん！in 英語？

what the !!

8:30 AM

あ～

Literally, it's "why is that?" but...

@TokyoNagoya ね～

なんどす？

？

いや、「ね～」言うたんで

英語でなんて言いますかって聞いたのにさ～

なに寝てんのよ～

8:32 AM

寝てへんし

i'm surprised it's not on alc

SSBが答えたやん

だね～

I think a lot of this conversation is not basic Japanese

Tokyoさん遅いもん～

8:34 AM

As in, plain old Japanese

they like to use dialects a lot

@Shazer2 Yeah, that's why I said,

Tokio ist gemein!

It's so confusing :(

Oh, because of the different dialect?

I thought he was genuinely being mean.

It ain't fun talking standard, ya know?

ahaha

8:35 AM

some of us don't talk so good

But it's hard for people like me!

I suppose

think of it as a learning opportunity

how?

ごめんね～あとで、殺しとくから・・

8:36 AM

I can't read it!

eh who are you going to kill

Of course..

なんで殺されなあかんねん！

ふふふ

this is escalating so quickly

8:37 AM

Learn あかん. It is useful.

Is that irony or

He's trying to teach you kansai dialect

because he's a kansai comedy fan

rikaikun says あかん means useful :P

with just a few key phrases you too can be a manzai champion

useless*

8:38 AM

もうあかんやん・・

haha

i don't know much kansai ben

もうかりまっか

I am stll learning it myself. I have lived half my life in Nagoya and the other half in Tokyo, but Kansai speech appeals to me the most.

なんで？

=why

なんでやろ。リズムかな

あと、古語の香りがするでしょ？関西の言葉は？そこも好き。

8:42 AM

え？そう？？

わからない・・・

にぶっ

i feel that a lot in kyushu

How do you feel about ainu? (language, not people :P)

I don't know ainu language...

Tokyo was just a big plain with barbarians only until a couple of hundred years ago. Western Japan had always ruled.

8:45 AM

ainu are barbarians?

No, I meant the present day Kanto area

OMG

I love Japan

Japan just wants to be friends.

does anyone know wordpress here?

11 ppl?? wow

8:47 AM

are you sure the japanese language and usage chat is where you want to be asking about wordpress?

sorry

i don't mean that in a scary kind of way

@404NotFound I do

just genuinely curious why you decided to ask here

@404NotFound well I guess it depends what you need

do you have a blog?

8:48 AM

i have question related plugin

Time for dinner. See you guys.

does delete and uninstall both are same?

@TokyoNagoya 腹八分目にね

腹崩壊まで

maybe not houkai

@ssb あかんｗｗｗｗ

8:50 AM

腹爆

@404NotFound delete completely deletes it

@404NotFound just uninstalls so it isn't loaded but it's still there

@404NotFound do you have a blog? can I see?

i don't have blog i am learning wordpress now ...

Good work :)

i have created my own plugin and now i am trying to uninstall it

but i am totally confused from where i can uninstall?

this may seem obvious but

did you check here? codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Uninstalling_Plugins

9:03 AM

yup

in my plugin i have uninstall.php... when it will get call?

why not just run it manually?

@ssb what is diff btwn deactive and uninstall?

i don't know, but i assume that one just disables the functionality temporarily while uninstall removes the plugin completely

why don't you try it and see

jkerian

9:56 AM

@ssb They shave!

jkerian

10:19 AM

Well... this is interesting... they didn't get forced into the "Italian Language and Usage" name format

those dirty bastardi..

how long do se sites stay in beta before getting a full version?

several are in the "1k days" category..

10:35 AM

What's added when getting a "full version"?

actually i don't know

a full site design?
