A: Translation Help with 思うと and よかった思います

Yang Muye今思うと thinking back now, when I think back When you see phrases like 思うと, 見ると, 振り返ると, 考えると etc., the following sentence is the content or result of the verb. I think the と between よかった and 思います is necessary. There might be an error in your quote. よかった is a kind of interjection. It is not just “...

、手が出てまうという…。 ええ人ですよ、ホンマ、泉谷さん。 お笑いの外の仕事して よかった思 うのは、小室さんにしろ、泉谷さんにしろ、そういう違うジャンルの人た‌​ちとの交友とい 浜田 雅功(著) 1960
よかった思い って 方言かな。
 
関西弁の、話し言葉ですね。
良かったと思うのは・・・となるべきところが
ダウンタウンの浜田さん、大阪出身で、めっちゃ関西弁。本来なら「お笑いの外の仕事『を』して、よかった『と』思うのは・・・」
「手が出てまう」も、標準語なら「手が出てしまう」
 
@Hippietrail seems to be cereally voting or commenting on food-related questions, including japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/3820/…
 
@YangMuye Rachel.G さんの質問の「良かった思います」は、「良かった『と』思います」のtypoだと思います
 
@Chocolate そうですか。ありがとうございます。
 
@AndrewGrimm Ohh.. he must be another 食いしん坊・・・hehehe
@YangMuye いえいえ♡
 
 
1 hour later…
8:25 AM
After thinking long and hard about JL.SE, I've concluded that there's two main problems. 1) It involves the internet. 2) It involves people.
 
@AndrewGrimm もしかして・・「和食」だから「ひらがな」なのかも?
ほら、たとえば・・・
すきやき、てんぷら、すし・・・
@AndrewGrimm ?
 
Native Japanese cuisine = hiragana? Sounds kind of plausible.
 
I'm not sure~~
シャブシャブ って書く人も、たまにいますけど~
でも、「シャブ」って、カタカナで書くと・・・
コカイン・薬物、みたいに見えそうで・・・
 
コカイン・薬物??
 
そうそう、「シャブ」っていうの
「シャブ中」=シャブ中毒=drug addict
ヤク中(やくちゅう)とも言うかな
ヤク=麻薬 or 薬物 ?
I don't know why "drug" is called シャブ...
 
8:36 AM
Sorry, have to cook dinner.
オーストラリアには、今日は母の日です!
 
@AndrewGrimm まあ、おめでとう
have a good day~
あ、オーストラリアか・・じゃあ、
good day mate! かな
(⇑固定観念)
Can you say "good eye might" without sounding Australian
へ~
 
ssb
sure you can!
 
wwww
そうなんだぁ~
 
ssb
ひさしぶー
 
だぬ~
 
ssb
8:51 AM
are you おばはん now
 
Oh are you おっさん then? hehehe
 
ssb
at least i think i heard だぬ is for おばちゃん but.. I don't know
 
へえ
最近はもう、だぬ~は言わないね
 
ssb
maybe it's wrong
 
一瞬の流行だった・・・
 
9:03 AM
あれ?今日って、日本でも、母の日?
うわ。しらんかった
 
ssb
9:35 AM
yes of course
another bit of commercialization absorbed by Japan
what's an emoticon for jaded cynicism?
please accept this clown instead: *<:o)
 
10:04 AM
phew! just climbed up the nearest mountain in the freezing wind with all my heavy luggage - now i have some ja Q's
@AndrewGrimm i just had a look at all your food questions before i went on my little expedition. i added some comments and votes and wotnots
 
10:17 AM
i want to know if and how i can combine aruku and agaru/oriru to say walk up/down using the rennyoukei form to make compound verbs?
 
ssb
10:42 AM
why not just say 歩いて登った?
 
because for a beginner there is no "just" (-:
but also because i'm fascinated with compound verbs, there seems to be a lack of information on them
 
ssb
ohh, sorry!
 
google translate gets what i'm going for with both 歩き上がる and 上がり歩く - but I don't know if either are "real words"
 
ssb
歩き上がる...
 
i did find some sites with pages about them and some research papers
 
10:46 AM
@hippietrail not sure if that's a good sign or not... if you have research papers about an expression you want to use
 
ssb
I think he's referring more generally to these compound verbs
 
phooey, I like my version better
 
but it hates both 歩き降りる and 降りり歩く
oriri doesn't feel right to me, though i have no sprachgefuehl
 
ssb
to me they just don't feel right
any form of it
but I'm no native
 
@jkerian: not about a particular expression but about a kind of word formation
here's one list of compound verbs, not one of the ones i mentioned just now, just one i found by googling
wow i blew up google chrome again
 
11:10 AM
Right... from now on, if you've got a problem with downvotes, feel free to bring it up on meta or flag it if you think it's serial (although serial votes get picked up by an automated system anyways, which should be a hint for you). Comments about voting that have no topic-relevant content are noise, and will be deleted as such.
 
11:44 AM
yes i know they should get picked up by the system. i don't think it's just me but i think i'm in the SAD's "all the questions from this bunch of people are beneath me" group
here's to a nice quiet site! (-:
 
@hippietrail "SAD" (... ugh) isn't even remotely 1 person. But it does seem to be an excuse for a number of people to avoid thinking about improving their questions.

I did go and delete most of the comments about "the SAD" a few days ago.

(Think about readers coming in from Google on individual questions trying to find answers. Will they find these comments, which are generally displayed above the answers, useful?)
 
I don't really have a problem with a comment that is asking "Why the downvote?"... as that's just trying to prod a useful conversation into being. But the complaining, projecting, and trying to turn this into some sort of campaign is just noise.

There have been times when I haven't been able to see any reason for a downvote.
 
Anonymous
In those cases, I usually upvote. :-)

I think that many (though not all) of the questions which get downvotes lack research effort

Does someone need to tell Dave M G that we're no longer JLU? Or do you think he's using JLU on purpose anyway because he likes it? :-)
 
12:59 PM
@snailboat あら、ほんとだ
ふふふ
ほっとこう~

@Chocolate Hehe! I like seeing him say JLU... :-)

Q: When do I use できます as opposed to わかります in a sentence?

MegI know the difference in meaning between the two: できます being "to be able to" or "can do", and わかります being "to understand how to" or "to know". I also know a simple sentence structure for both: "Person は Noun が (できます/わかります)" However, I can't understand which one to use in a sentence. Especially wi...

This is a beginner question so it might seem like it doesn't make sense to ask, because the OP is confused... But I think we should encourage beginner questions :-)
 
Anonymous
And I think we should make allowances for when people are confused, because that's when they need to ask questions! :-)
 
Anonymous
So I gave this question an upvote
