Why Did Japan Alone Keep Two Layers of Kanji Readings?

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://unseen-japan.com/japan-kanji-readings-two-layers/

Hey, Mastodon and Fediverse!
[TL;DR: help with translations 🇬🇷🇮🇩🇮🇹🇯🇵🇹🇭. Bonus: 🇫🇷🇲🇰🇳🇱]

Brief context: the past week I've shared here a few posts in languages which, to put it simply, I can't understand shit of.

I'd like to have a decent English (or Spanish) translation available, and while I'm moderately confident I can get a workable one done myself,¹ it'd be very, VERY welcome if somebody with an actual idea of what they're seeing could take a look. :3

The languages (I don't understand * of) are: Greek, Indonesian, Japanese, and Thai.
There's also Italian.

There are some older ones in French, Macedonian and Dutch which would also benefit from a review, so I'm extending this to those too. :3
[Several of the French ones ARE longish, be warned.]
There should be some German and Portuguese ones as well, but I'm not locating them. 🤔 Oh well.

This isn't a call for professionals, to be clear (I don't have budget to pay for that 🥴), but the texts aren't that long, it's a best-effort task, and it's got no strings attached, nor deadline. ^^
(Really, if you see this in two years and I'm still around, feel free to ping!)

The texts are about sex work however, most made by sex workers and all affirming towards it, so be warned if you got any issues with that (I'm guessing you'll block me outright in that case instead but… 🤷‍♀️).

If anyone wonders: yeah, machine translations kinda do the work, but they're terrible. 🥴 If they even work (*ahem* 🇲🇰 *ahem*).
And LLM-based ones DO hallucinate sometimes to boot. 🤦‍♀️ [More importantly though, they aren't an acceptable tool anyway.]
“Solutions” in these lines aren't welcome, and anyone tooting LLMs in response will actually be blocked outright — I'm looking for human-brain powered mistakes exclusively. ;3

Well, so that. If you feel like giving a hand or know somebody who could, be welcome!
Boosts are fine as well. ^~

¹ One of the languages I do more or less understand (🇮🇹), other I'm used to do this and this time did come with an official translation (🇲🇰 & yay!), a third I kind of had to do the translation already just to write it (🇹🇭 oh the pain… 😵‍💫), and the others at the very least I didn't have to write myself, so I trust to have a sane basis. 😅

While I was in the garden, I wrote a little text in Japanese about a special bird that just stayed with me today. I'm still studying, so I made use of simple words and grammar. I put a good amount of work in but it's probably not natural sounding or super accurate. Still, I liked it, so here it is:

「フラミンゴ」は鳥の名前です。フラミンゴはクロウタドリです。フラミンゴは水を飲んでいます。羽は黒くて灰色です。くちばしはオレンジ色です。歌は美しいです。可愛い、だから好きです。

十分以上、フラミンゴはいます。フラミンゴは庭と泉を見ます。フラミンゴは老いか若いかな？

今、フラミンゴは女のクロウタドリといっしょに去りました。フラミンゴがいつか帰ることは楽しみです。

Don't put it in deepl expecting it to correctly translate. Translator software is still bad for japanese as it seems. It will be super confused that the birds name is flamingo, and not understand that I mean "for ten minutes" not "ten flamingos".

#deepl #japanese #japaneselanguage #blackbird

In older Japanese articles, essays etc., authors often used 君 to refer to their peers. While it’s a casual "you" today, it then functioned as a formal and respectful way to address a colleague in public discourse.

It’s not casual intimacy but a sign of intellectual equality and professional esteem, closer to a respectful "my friend" or a formal address than the "tutoying" (duzen) style it implies today.

Japanese question: in an episode of Boyfriend, someone is described as a リッチネイチャー. I can't find any references anywhere to what that means (I can get "rich" and "nature"). When I checked the English subtitles it was translated as "quirker", which isn't a word I know in English either 😂. Maybe someone who is quirky?

@Fizzfizzpopop

I've spent years learning Japanese on and off.

There's some good beginner ones on f-droid, jisho.org makes a good language learning resource because it has a sentence search feature: you can search for a word youre learning and then be presented with dozens of example sentences from an open dataset.

I also highly recommend the youtube series Japanese From Zero for beginners to intermediate

Tae Kim's grammar guide is also free and packed full of useful lessons for beginners but its very dry, it makes a good reference for beginners

Also while I'm at it I might as well recommend https://japanesetest4you.com/jlpt-n5-grammar-list/ they have lots of simple lessons with example sentences, also better as a reference than as a course. They have lots of printable vocab and grammar infographics too

Edit again sorry I just thought of another really good resource 青空文庫 (Aozora Bunko) a free online library of 15k+ public domain japanese books, the prose is obviously a bit archaic but its still a cool resource
