arturogoga Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 "anata wa watashino kireii aka-chan". But that's with baby as in kid. "anata wa watashino kireii onna" That's with baby as in girl. Might want to double-check that, though.

SojIrOu Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 hmm by baby you mean a girl right? doesn't kireii mean beautiful? precious is kichyou in japanese. anyway i can't really give you the correct words only the hiragana characters. あなた わ 私 の きれいい おんな (the one you wanted) あなた わ 私 の きちよう おんな (the one with the word precious inside) this is a really rough translation so i don't recommend you use it with a real jap person. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/339717-guys-can-anyone-speak-japanese/#findComment-586157004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SojIrOu Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 (edited) :laugh: second term should be first followed by third and first. hmm my japenese teachers were a japenese guy and a woman from china who went to japan to learn japanese. it was at some language centre and i learnt japanese through chinese (cause japanese is from chinese which derivated thousands of years ago). so if i did an english to chinese then to japanese it would be even better. didn't think about that just now. i'll go translate it again properly. anyway i believe that is generated by a software so the translation could be even worse.

Shetland Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 just some advise, people: online translation sites DON'T work, they cant translate properly as they just use dictionary infinative etc. its not gonna work, so best choice is to go with what someone here who speaks the language.

kylejn Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Don't use "anata." It's far too... direct. Use the person's name instead, or maybe "kimi." Yeah! Use "kimi." 君は僕の恋人、ずっとに。 "Kimi wa boku no koibito, zutto ni." "You are my girlfriend/lover/partner, forever." My Japanese isn't great, but I think something like that seems pretty good. Of course, I'm incredibly tempted to give you some crappy translation just because I want a Japanese girlfriend, but hey, whatever.

Jonathan Downin Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I speak Japanese and all of you are kind of going about this wrong. If you really want to be affective and sound sincere in another language you can't use literal translations (Japanese is especially like this). You shouldn't come up with an English phrase and then just try to translate it word for word, you will get really awkward sounding phrases doing that. You would be much better to find an apropriate phrase in that language that is the closest aproximation of the message that you want to convey. How flexible are you on this? Do you want to say exactly this or is a more natural aproximation also ok?
