gimme a hand with this sentance


watashi no ai wa anato no desu



help away

just wanna know if it makes any sense at all
 
what do you want? it typed out in japanese characters or it translated into English?

(i cant help btw, but it might help someone who can)
 
i know a little cuz its my schools langauge
watashi no is right and means my, watashi means me, no is 's
i dunno what anato means, but i did a search and it means hole?
wa means is
desu is also right
i guess ai means eye

so i guess it means...my eye is a hole...
just take out the last no...

I speak a little, took it last year....anyway lets see:

Watashi is me, no is possessive, ai wa..not shure, anato is you, no is possessive, desu is..is. Sooo, I think it means:
My, whatever ai wa is, your is.
 
I know Japanese fairly well. I used to translate some things which people on this board seem to hate so I shall leave them nameless.

Anyways as for your little sentence...I belive what it says is:

"My love is your's."
which sounds a bit off so...

I think you could say it in an easier way...if you're trying to say you love someone just say:

aishitteru yo (I love you)

or

anata ni aishitteru (Means the same as above but this one is more "personal" I guess you could say).

Infact there are so many different ways to say it:

anata wo daisuki
(insert their name here) wo suki da yo
etc...

I'm not going to go into the details of explaining the sentences because I'm sure no one here cares. Hope that helped.

BTW, neo, wa doesn't mean "is"...infact wa doesn't mean anything. It's mainly used for identifying the subject of a sentence. For example:

ore wa saiko da
(I) (preceding word is the subject - in this case it's me) (best) (am).

For the record, desu, da, dearu, or dearimasu means "is/are/am"...
 
LoL...you guys forgot about the tech preview videos? that's what the gman said in one of the vids.
"Now listen carefully, mr...freeman. I'm only going to say this once."
and then he says that phrase. i think dude heard it a bit wrong tho, and i'm too laxy to downlaod the vids again.

DUde wants to know what it means.
 
It means "My love is yours." Kiva128 is right. But it's not "anato." It has to be "anata." Anato doesn't make any sense. I assume that Exclamatio just heard it wrong.

just a typo with anato :D
 
ai 爱 is love in chinese, so maybe the same for japanese.

yeah ai means love


i know what each of the words mean/do i was just wondering if the order was correct really, possibly to see if anything needed changing slightly ^_^

The G-Man was speaking Chinese (Mandarin, I believe), and also the words phonetically don't match what the first poster put, anyway.
 
Um, where can I get the Japanese character set? All I get are white boxes when you guys post

Control Panel -> Regional and Language Settings -> Advanced.

Check the boxes for the languages you want. :)
 
u guys know kanji?
theres too many...i dont want to know them
but i know stuff like 日本人、断、食、飲、僕 yeah...and some others but i dont feel like typing them all...
oh and i think 死 means death...or something...dunno, go away
 
yeah
kanji is what you guys were writing
at least thats what was coming up on my screen
kanji is japanese and chinese
 
kanji must be japanese.

some characters are the same as chinese, but most are different.

i think chinese characters are named after their legendary creator, CangJie (仓颉 )

But the language is called Zhongwen (中文 )or putonghua(莆通话 ).
 
kanji is japanese and chinese...according to my japanese teacher
see like one of the ones u just typed 中 means china i dunno the others
 
While we're on the topic, can somebody translate the voice sample I attached in the zip file? I think it's Japanese but I'm not sure ....

Its an audio format similar to mp3 ... I don't have an mp3 encoder handy, sorry. Most audio players should play it (I think)
 
i got it to work
kinda sounds like...
hajohonwa hanashijo hodewanai
i prob messed up on part of it tho
dunno what it means...some else probably can help you
 
It is, in fact, Japanese.

It says "Kono jouhou wa, tadashi jouhou dewa nai."

What's the context? Where's it from? It means "This jouhou is not the right/proper/correct jouhou," but jouhou has several possible meanings according to my Japanese/English dictionary.

It's from a song that deals with technology/censorship/mind control, etc. Kinda of like the theme from the book 1984. Most of it is in English, except this first line.
 
What song is it? Sounds like something I might like to listen to.

That'll probably be "information" for jouhou, then.

Hmm, could it mean "This information is disinformation"? That's one of the english lyrics ...

BTW, the song is X-Dream - We Interface.
