Hello! I am Haihao, a new member from Japan Tue Oct 31, 2006 10:26 am  Hello! I am Haihao, a new member from Japan
 

Hi Amy,

Thank you so very much for your compliment. I am really really happy to hear..., though a little embarrassed... But honestly speaking, since I have been sparing no pains in trying to improve my English, the most favorate language of mine, for no less than 3 years, your encouragement has doubtlessly infused me with new vigor to help me go farther and make my dream come true.

We use the term 'buniness translation' here in Japan to indicate an occupation dealing with a variety of translations for business letters, reports, product manuals, etc. What I am teaching now is just as you said not the language itself but the skills and techniques how to perform such kind of translations effectively and efficiently. The languages involved with me now are Japanese and Chinese.

I love to learn language, Amy, or to be more boldly speaking, I love language itself. Languages bring me the world just as I wish to embrace and the dreams I wish to conceive.

Sorry for the harangue-like talking and thanks again.

My best regards and respects,
haihao

Hi,Haihao! Surprised
First let me say the sweetest hello to Haihao Wink

Well..., it's a little shy to say something about shyness (^-^)... but I do feel it brings me some hesitation and obstacle in friend-making, party-going, talking, etc. On the other hand, I feel easy and safe with it and I don't need to go for much.

I like sharing you in my mind about idea of shying Embarassed ..
I think the shying not well for man, especial if he deals a lot of clients or people.

He should have the audaciousness and he must merry enough to take their attention.

And another way I love the shying in woman because I think it create from her Embarassed too beautiful.

regards,
Mba

Hi FangFang

Can you explain to all of us non-experts what the difference is? What did Tom actually say and how is your version different?

Amy

Hi,Amy!!!!!!!!!! Very Happy
ahaha, mmm, I am an outsider too,still learning Japanese . "I am Tom." ".....wa....de si." is used to introduce someone here in Japanese. =”.......は....です”,"わたしはTomです。”, nothing special, I think Tom must know it quite well, just forgot typing "wa", that's all. Razz

An MBA classmate from Japan (no doubt studying in the States to learn how we fail so poorly at competing with Japan. hehe) taught me how to say and write "Wa ta shi Tom des."

I've since forgotten how to write it.

I stand by my lone known Japanese sentence!

Konichiwa!

hehe

Hi Tom (Prezbucky),

Nicw to meet you here, YOROSHIKU! Hope we can have lots of chats in here from now on. By the way, your "Wa ta shi Tom des(u)" is alright, especially in oral Japanese or in an informal way. Of course FangFang's "Wa ta shi wa Tom de si (desu)" is perfect and formal. The two different versions are something like we say 'My name is Tom' and 'Hey, call me Tom' in English or 'Wo Jiao Tom' and 'Pengyou, Jiao Wo Tom' in Chinese. Smile

Bye. SAYOUNARA.

Tom,

Miso is soybean paste, widely used in soups and Japanese cooking. Along with soy sauce it's one of the most popular condiment here in Japan. People also look on miso as a very healthy ingredient in miso involved food or soup.

Is it spicy?

I've seen several episodes of Iron Chef... Rokusaburo Michiba and (i think) Chen Kenichi used miso on a few of those episodes.

It's not spicy at all in its original style but you can make it spicy if you like and actually there are so many varieties for it. It seems you know well about Iron Chef which was very popular some years ago. But if you say Rokusaburo Michiba you have to say Kenichi Chin (not Chen in Japanese but alright in Chinese).

In Japan or for the Japanese language, we put first name at last and last name at first, sounds funny, eh Confused ? However, as a rule, when saying or writing it in English we follow English or Western tradition, i.e., Hiroyuki (first name) Sakai (last name) though we call him Sakai Hiroyuki San (Mr.) in daily life. Quite confusing, eh Wink ? Anyway, whatever the rule is, you have to keep it in one way and do not let the two ways get mixed up. Smile

Hi, Haihao
Do you mean you put the "surname " at last and "name" at first? I am confused! It sounds like the way English people do ! Ok, simply speaking, for example,
Sakai Hiroyuki San, in Japanese you write lit ike "Hiroyuki Sakai" ,but you still call him like "Sakai Hiroyuki San"? You know it is different from Chinese!!! By the way, what is the Chinese name of Sakai? Smile
