Ask Lemmy

Yeah, 建前 and 本音 are definitely a thing to get used to, heh. I agree, specific questions are definitely helpful to answer

Bullshit I'm reading your subtitles right now.

That's good. Wouldn't want the subtitles to be be against a non-contrasting background so I think you're telling me to eat shit when in fact you're merely offering me some shitake mushrooms.

I have a lot of plans that need reworked.

Who do you think you're kidding! Next thing you're going to tell me not everybody there likes sniffing schoolgirls' underwear! Preposterous!

[Lemmy] dominates English-speaking sites, and most Japanese people don't use this site because they can't speak English. Therefore, we cannot get answers from actual Japanese people.

I only understood a some words in that scentence because I haven't yet learned enough Japanese to read that fully

I haven't learned that big of a wordset yet as I'm primarily focusing on learning grammer at the moment before continuing to learn vocabulary

To this point, the Tokyo skytree may be the most entertaining place I've ever been. You can see so much life happening all around, you can see how far Tokyo sprawls, you can see how large the breadth of humanity can be. If you intensely focus on one small spot of the city, you see a myopic little section, but then you raise up, and see the entirety of "Civilization". It's super impressive. I expected that it would be fun to see, and maybe spend 20 minutes up there looking around. I spent almost 3 hours just examining life.

I'm sure places like this exist elsewhere, Tokyo seems like the perfect place for it though.

I know about yuta because I am learning Japanese but I don't think I have seen their other videos outside of learning Japanese

Right now I'm slowly working my way through grammer at a pace that works for me

Are everyone's dicks really pixelated?

I've heard the work culture in Japan, like many Asian countries, can be quite oppressive and sometimes even toxic when compared to its Western counterparts.

Obviously this is highly specific to the workplace in question, and the framing of this statement has inherent biases.

That said, could you offer any insights into the veracity or lack thereof to these claims?

I've often thought about taking a vacation in Japan, so I have a few genuine questions.

• What should a visitor see or do that isn't too expensive?
• I'm a little over 190 cm tall. Are there any popular tourist activities that my height would make more difficult?
• My ability to communicate in Japanese would consist entirely of using Google Translate on my phone. Would language be a significant barrier to a good visit?

Thanks for making yourself available for this.
