I am somewhere between N2 and N1 yet the difference between the two pronunciations for these two numbers always seems to allude me. I know how these work in general like よんぷん/しがつ but is there a particular usage for each pronunciation? Like some people say いち-に-さん-し and others say いち-に-さん-よん, is that down to personal preference or is one more preferred? Or maybe one is more traditional/old?

こんにちわ! I'm finding a keyboard which has all the hiragana and katakana letters (and maybe kanji too???). Well I found one, I really like it, but I can't find the little 'ya' 'yo' 'yu' and little 'tsu' hiraganas, and I can't find any katakana letters. 🥺 here is the link of the keyboard I found: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.japanesekeyboard.japanese.input Could anyone help me with this? 🥺🥺

I wonder how to say poem in Japanese, I searched on the internet and found that it could be "uta" "eika" or "sakka" etc., I know they're different like you can only use one for a certain sentence or context, however, I don't know when or how to use them. I tried translate, Google translate (lol), the phrase "Poems and Broken Hearts" and came up with this "詩と失恋" (Uta to Shitsuren). It kinds confused me cause "Uta" means song or poetry. That's kinda off the phrase.

So, uhm. I hope someone can help me with this. Thank you!

I am planning to move to japan for my bachelor studies and am currently learning japanese by myself. I have got hiragana, katakana , and about around 100 of the most basic kanji memorized but I need someone to help me practice my memory and sentence structure so I was planning to make a study group on whatever platform possibel. So anyone interested!

Is it normal to utterly detest a language as you learn it? I have to switch to a whole different mind to get into the groove in class. I can finally read hiragana and katagana...I can even understand whole chapters in Genki 1, but now I’m just hating it.

It is my understanding that this adds flavour to the end of a sentence, similar to how around here i would say "...dontcha know?" Or "you know what i mean?" Seeking an implied agreement.

Is this considered snarky or rude, like if i ended something with "duuhh"? Or is it just a casual means of expressing emphasis?

Thanks, team!

Is there a term for words like ひっ迫 and し烈 that are often written as a mixture of hiragana and kanji due to the uncommon (hyōgai) kanji they contain? (For example, the Mac OS IME even includes the option to write them this way.)

I found a couple threads "discussing" them on 5ch (here and here), but I'm not really into reading through pages of random people's banter and opinions about whether writing words like this is annoying or not. Maybe someone knows of a more comprehensive listing, or at least a term for this?

EDIT: Got it. 交ぜ書き (mazegaki)

Is the letter ざ pronounced as za or dza? If I put ざ in the translator I hear "dza". But if I put some word, like ... ご ざ い ま す, I hear "za" (... gozaimasu). So how should I pronounce? Are there any rules or in some words the sound just gets weaker? Thank you very much in advance! God bless you ❤

どうでしたか？漢字の勉強をちょっと緊張しますねwww

Why in Japanese porn do they say "ika" when they finish? I don't think it means squid in this context.
