I have the exact same issue when trying to SSH from a M2 MacBook Pro into an Intel Mac Mini, both running Sonoma. No problem when I SSH from the Mac Mini to the MacBook Pro.

I made up this (silly) sentence. Is it grammatically correct? ここにイルカもカモもいるか？かもしれない。

Ah, just found it. It's in the context menu.

In macOS, is there an easy way to write furigana over a kanji in the app Pages and other apps?

Good evening. I'm looking for a book in Japanese. It should be a kind of novel with a coherent story, not a manga. The level should be somewhere between beginner and intermediate. It should use kanji with furigana, I'm not interested in books that use hiragana only. Ideally it would explain the most important vocabulary in English on a separate column of each page so I don't need to look up everything. Is there something like that?

Trying to read some recipe, I stumbled upon this sentence: 「水分がなくなりとろ～っとしたらバターを入れとかし鍋をぐる～っと回してバターを絡める。」 I don't understand 「～っと」, what does it mean? (And how do you type ～ anyway?)

Ah, thanks!

I found two example sentences, but they do not seem to be very helpful. libertyzero.com/voc_trainer/examples/…

Watching YouTube videos, I hear a lot of 「と言うことで、•••」especially at the start and at the end of the video. What does it mean?

Ok. Apparently rather uncommon. What about this one? Voiced iteration mark:ヾ

What does this sign mean? ゟ

Ah, that makes sense. I always thought つける means to turn on something, which doesn't make the slightest bit of sense here, but now I see it has quite a lot of different meanings.

What does this mean? 「明日木から落とすから、今日は気をつけて見ていてくれ」Is it possible they've got it wrong and the second ki, 気, should really be ki, 木? Still I have no clue what tsukete mite ite kure means. In the context, it should be something like "please pluck the fruits from that tree".

Ah, found it. "Shortened progressive form". Thanks!

Is 待ってる just an abbreviation of 待っている, or am I confusing something?

Nah, I'm studying.

😝

That's shinai or shimasen, isn't it? But I agree it's probably some negative form of suru.

What form and verb is shinakereba naranai as in「上司に電話しなければならない」?

Can't not do, haha! 😅Ok, I get it.

「全ての家具を買い換えなくてはいけなかった」What verb is ikenakatta? If it's 行く, it should be ikanakatta, right? Also, why are both ikenakatta and kaikaenakute in the negative form? The translation is "We had to replace all of our furniture".

Chichi 父 is father, but chichi 乳 is milk/breast?! The Japanese are weird! 😝

Sorry, I was distracted.

4540 :)

How do I create a nick name on that site?

のちよ。If nochi is the right word for "later" ;)

I'm still not good enough, I need to learn the basics first. In a few weeks, maybe.

None apart from this chat.

Yes. It's more about vocabulary than grammar though. And it keeps showing the same words even though I mark them as "known".

I'm reading guidetojapanese.org, which I find very useful. However, I also need some way to practice grammar stuff. Does anybody know a good online tool for that?

jisho also says "blunder"

Can you do this with na adjectives, too?

I see.

So you can put adjectives into the past tense?

Ok, interesting.

guidetojapanese.org/learn/complete/male_female says you can't add だ to い-adjectives, e.g. in 「難しいよ」. However, I was told that だ is just the casual form of です. So, is this incorrect: 「難しいですよ」? Why? Any insights on that?

Sounds like a very subtle difference to me.

ありがとう@Chocolate

Does anyone know how to type the dot character ・・・ or the repetition character 々々々 on the keyboard?

「車に乗ろうとしている」The verb seems to be 乗る, but what form is this? Is this a て-form, or is it rather として ("as")?

ありがとう, interesting read.

Also strange: aoi sora (blue sky), cha iro no maruta (brown log). Why not aoi iro no sora, or cha maruta?

aoi is blue, midoriiro is green, but アオガエル is a green frog.. wtf?!

👍

Ah, thanks!

What does areba mean in 「電気炊飯器があれば、ご飯を炊くのは簡単です」and what form of word is it?

こんばんは。

Ah, I get it.

I'm confused now. Tokyo is in Kanto according to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kant%C5%8D_region#/media/…
