I'd like to know what some of these strange, reoccuring online idioms mean that japenese use. One of them is (ry, for instance. Here is a thread for your opportunity to explain them to us online gaijin.
A starting point might be this obscure page here:
homepage.mac.com/igarin/2ch.html
Wouldn't that be a good question to ask the japanese visitor in /nihongo/ on 4-ch before he leaves out of boredom?
That's what I meant...

KITA = "it's there" "here you go" "yeah!" "hell yes!", in this context.
I think English is probably the only language where "to come" means to orgasm.
This context:
ツキツタツ�ェツ�ェツ�ェツ�ェ(テ淞�催�)ツ�ェツ�ェツ�ェツ�ェ!!
kitaツ�ェツ�ェツ�ェツ�ェ(テ淞�催�)ツ�ェツ�ェツ�ェツ�ェ!!
Of course, English comes from German.
I can't tell whether you are being sarcastic or not. But please talk to the japanese person in /nihongo/. I feel kinda bad already for having invited him and now nobody talking to him.

Yes, I'm pulling your leg - well, half of it.
The point I'm making is that come as cum is more widely used in English than in other languages, and that kita has nothing to do with the English come.
Amusingly, if we go to the Indo-European root of come it means "come, go." ^^
My Japanese is very poor, I use a lot of tools to barely manage to translate Japanese to English. I still haven't memorized all hiragana and barely none of katakana (pathetic, I know...) I can pull out a few pre-made sentences but not have a conversation, especially not if there are kanji used. I don't know what kanji to use in what situation. As for the grammar structure of a sentence, I don't know the rules.
Most of us in that group seem to be as clueless. One poster asked for clarification of why a grammar structure was wrong and never got answered, for example.
> come as cum is more widely used in English than in other languages
No, at least in German it is used just as often, if not more often. In German it also isn't "to reach orgasm" but "to come to orgasm".
> Amusingly, if we go to the Indo-European root of come it means "come, go."
That is not all too un-common. The most basic terms that origin in the most primitive languages have often had one word for the term itself and its opposite.
> Most of us in that group seem to be as clueless.
Then ask. There's someone there who would be willing to answer now, it seems.
But it's just an opportunity, anyway.
> I still haven't memorized all hiragana and barely none of katakana...
I warmly recommend James Heisig's books Remembering the Hiragana and Remembering the Katakana. They claim to teach you each syllabary in three hours, and they do not lie about this. Me and several friends have all used these to very quickly and efficiently learn hiragana and katakana.
There's a combined version too; http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/4889960724/002-0281214-3618431?v=glance

Ah yeah it looks interesting.
I use the freeware flashcard DreamKana to train http://www.dreambreed.com/soft.asp but I should train more often.
Get the book. With it, there's no need to do any other kind of training than actually sitting down and reading the language to get familiar with it once you're done with the lessons. They really are amazing.
The trick they use is to use silly mental images for the characters. This is surprisingly effective.
How about you continue this off-topic discussion in http://4-ch.net/nihongo/index.html ?

JISAKUJIEN is also the name of the AA character who has a face like Moraler, but is not a cat (he is a tiny ball). (•ツ��•)ツイツイ
BURAKURA (ツブツδ可クツδ�) is popular.
but MAIKURA (ツマツイツクツδ�) is no.
mental BURAKURA is popular than MAIKURA (ツマツイツクツδ�)
A friend of mine uses PORI PORI (ツポツδ環ポツδ�), he uses it to say that he's eating something (usually candy).
I've seen a few people using this before, I don't know if it's a common thing on the chans though.
What the Japanese common term for "imageboards" anyway?
I came, I saw, I BURAKURA

ツつ堕つ�ツつ猟つケツつ�つ陳つ�つ板つ�つ卍づ督つカツつアツつ個つ� is the Japanese keyboard's QWERTY or fgsfds

"ツつ堕つ�ツつ猟つケツつ�つ陳つ�つ板つ�つ卍づ督つカツつアツつ個つ�" is also funny because it says "Fujiko". True story.
I am seeing "plz" appear on 2channel more and more...
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
orz
Let me know when someone draws a character in the plz position. Contortions ahoy!
Yeah, I've spotted a "ツ湘堋催用lz", which would be a combination of "ツ湘堋催猟キツボツδ�" and "source plz" (both of which mean the same thing).
Well, I found it hilarious, at least.
Also, just like how "source plz" keeps mutating just because it's said so often and is such a trite thing to say, the Japanese keep coming up with variations on "ツ湘堋催猟キツボツδ�" too. I guess the "plz" is just one of the latest ones.
>>114
It isn't actually how you would ram out QWERTY on a Japanese keyboard, it's a particular arrangement (try following the letters) which happens to spell out Fujiko.
plz is YANKEE orz

What does "gb2/something" mean?
"get back to -something-"
probably from old colonial / racist exclamations of wanting economic / refugee immigrants of former slave classes to "get back to africa (and stop stealing our jobs)" etc. In this case usually an expression of the poster informing the subject that they are in the wrong board section (or wrong board altogether) and where they should go to ("take" their wrong-subject post "back" to).
e.g. someone within the 4chan lot puts a pornographic post on a board about kittens... incensed felophile orders them to "gb2/h/ !!!1" and might well request "modz" to have them "b&" (b-and, banned)
might also be written in this case as a more simple "gb2h" without the slashes... if they posted something that was not allowed on the board but allowed on another (e.g. iichan not 4chan) there would be "gb2/iichan".... and for things that are just plain wrong and have no home, there's the universal GTFO (get the f--- out)
easy enough when you know how ;)
