I've seen ESLs who have been at it for over a decade and they still fuck up basic grammar.

All you have to do is get to a comfortable level. I can play pretty much anything I want with only a very mild level of work, and half the time I don't even bother looking up a new word because context will explain it to me within another sentence or two.

My daily study is about 20 minutes, which is way less than the couple of hours I spend each day on Japanese media.

Absolutely terrifying. It's crazy to see how years of utter garbage subtitles have poisoned the minds of so many retards, who somehow believe that leaving stuff untranslated somehow makes it more "authentic".

What's really sad is that this posturing over who knows more tourist phrases hides the very real problem of mistranslation in subtitles, which still does occasionally happen because people aren't perfect. But EOPs couldn't spot mistranslation if it bit them on the ass, because what you think is a mistranslation is personal preference autism, instead of a misinterpretation of grammar.

The problem is that you'll eventually reach a level where it's just good enough that people stop correcting you. Makes it hard to improve further when you aren't aware of your mistakes anymore.

Incorrect subs for something that was said in English are the weirdest shit.

Girls that say ara ara a lot give me such a boner. Especially mommies and cakes

Hell yeah. Always nice to meet a fellow 1000 IQ user.

They're 2d only pedos. The distinction is important since it's one of those things that get lost in the translation.

a translator’s job is to make something understandable you fucking weeaboos

Giving up is way more comfy than trying.

This is horse shit. Language production is an important step in mastering a language.

>tfw the translation of the fureraba vn ruined a perfectly good incest play scene by translating "onee-chan" as "sissy"

Language production is important insofar as you want to use the language actively yourself. However, I've discovered that simply by forcing myself to think in the target language goes a long way. No need to have awkward clumsy conversations with natives in the beginning, for quite a long time actually.

Call an average Japanese man a rorikon and see how he reacts

>However, I've discovered that simply by forcing myself to think in the target language goes a long way.
That's still a form of language production, isn't it?

>oni no onii-chan
>devilish big brother

It is indeed. I just wanted to point out it doesn't need to be writing anything down or talking with people, in the beginning at least. It happens quite naturally also if you're studying intensively enough (so in fact I didn't even need to "force myself" despite saying that, actually). Which explains why I can barely express myself at all in Chinese whereas when I had similar levels of passive understanding in Japanese I could express myself a lot more in that language in comparison, as I've got to that level of Chinese a lot more slowly so I never got into the habit of thinking in Chinese.

It's not "lost in translation" you weaboo faggot; it's not present in the original text. Lolicon = 2D was made up by Yea Forums just a few years ago; it's total bullshit. The only specificity lolicon adds is that it means girls only

I've done that for ages. I can watch most shows in Japanese and understand 95% of them, but I don't know almost any kanji since I never studied the language at all.

this episode is fucking incomprehensible without a TN, what the fuck were they thinking

I started learning Japanese simply to be able to read it, not to write or speak it.

After learning Hiragana and Katakana in two weeks I think things a re a bit stagnating, then again, I probably would start to hate it if I burn myself out on it.

Oof

as did I. All the time spent complaining about translations could be spent working on or paying for fansubs. Or, god forbid, learning language to realize just how fucking awkward the dialogue actually is compared to normal japanese.

There's literally nothing they can translate it to that won't result in people whining. Just learn Jap.

Shouldn't we be making bigger efforts to learn nip and translate/scanlate our shit so it's not just tumblrinas who artificially inject western political talking points? I've started passively picking up words and characters but I should do my part and commit to the moonrunes.

Sometimes they translate it to “bastard”

>>They're 2d only pedos.
Is there anything sadder than EOPs who pretend they understand even the first fucking thing about the language? It's always beyond embarrassing, even more so because I'm sure you consider yourself an anime expert with over 200 animes watched or some shit.

It's incorrect to say that it's 2D only, but at the same time I think calling somebody lolicon isn't normally quite as serious accusation as "pedophile" is, which is in practice often used to mean "child abuser" in the West. Even if that is not the technical definition.

Just a regular "oh my" will do imo

And somewhere, someone will whine.

Then you get into the basic issue of cultural differences, though.

I live in a native English country, and I've heard grown men be referred to, jokingly, as pedos because they have flat chested wives. And I've seen people in Japan use lolicon in very disparaging ways, EOPs just watch too much anime so their perception of the word is completely warped. The idea that the word is somehow that much more "strict" in meaning in the west is ludicrous.

Is it less likely to be played for laughs? Sure. Is it such a major distinction that people watching the show will be unable to understand the difference? I don't think so.

The only people who whine about lolicon being translated are braindead weebs who are upset that they don't get to show off their amazing Japanese knowledge, which is actually just a laughable misunderstanding.

Isn't it just a rude way of saying you? YOU! Or You bastard! should be fine, though going with You! and putting in a note would be the best.

Could you school Yea Forums about "niwaka" is a real term that describes most of the posters here next?

Loli is an abbreviated english word.
Con is an abbreviated english word.

Why must it be translated as anything but "lolicon"? Because people like misconstruing the word for political reasons.

>abbreviated english word.
Isn't lolita the name of a book though?

Yes, it's from a book about a pedophile. "Lolita complex" compares the person being described to the protagonist of that book (the pedophile). It's because lolicon is a word for pedophile

Yes but you're saying it's an English word. I'm pretty sure the book is Russian isn't it?

>Why must it be translated as anything but "lolicon"?
Because that isn't a translation? It's a transliteration.

I get that you want to jerk off over the fact you know 100 whole words in Japanese, but it's not useful for translation. And clearly, it's not useful for understanding, either, if you somehow think that lolicon is in any way significantly different from "pedophile".

You've constructed a fantasy meaning in your head based on a very narrow spectrum of data, and you're upset when this is challenged with the correct meaning of pedo.

But they are translating to english and not engrish. What I don't like is when they change a words.

Nabokov was Russian but the book is English. "Lolicon" isn't an English word anyway; it's only ever used in Japanese and by weebs who think they know Japanese. It's wasei-eigo like live house or OL
