＞Japanese word "shimbunshi" is a palindrome, but why? Answer in English and Alphabets, don't use hiragana or katakana. ⇒How about the following answer? In the phonetic structure of Japanese, "shi" [ʃi], "m" [n] (in front of a consonant), "bu" [bu], "n" [n], and "shi" [ʃi] in "shimbunshi" (newspaper), when read from the front, becomes 《"shi" [ʃi], "m" [n], "bu" [bu], "n" [n], "shi" [ʃi]》, while the backward reading is also 《"shi" [ʃi], "n" [n], "bu" [bu], "m" [n], "shi" [ʃi]》. If we connect each single sound together, we get [ʃi, n, bu, n, ʃi]. A word like this, which has the same sound when read from front to back, is called a kaibun. And "migakanukagami" [mi, ga, ka, nu, ka, ga, mi] (unpolished mirror) is an example of a palindrome as well.

  • 英語で説明希望　日本語助詞「と」

    日本語の助詞についておしえてください。 日本語のテストありますので。 I am in the middle of studying japanese for JLPT3 and I need your assistance for figure them out. Here is the 2 questions. (1)because of you I became stronger (in Japanese!) So I wrote: 毎日私は強いなります。 Someone said it meant strong like fighting. and "よろしくお願いします” to be about studying! I didn't know the kanji/words it's using. I would like to know why it is and what it is. (2)Thinking "my japanese is slowly better because of　you". I wrote 私の日本語がゆっくり良いのであなたです。 Someone said 私の日本語がだんだんと良くなるのは、あなたのおかげです。is correct. But most of people said it is a little awkward and they would say they can omit と　and だんだん～になる seems more natural to say. I have no idea which is correct and why it is. That's when I realized, , I need なる to make it "becomes better". I also knew "だんだん" but I didn't know why it used "と" or why と"? Why not just "だんだん良くなる?" Your assistance would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

  • 英語の訳をお願いします。「〇〇～」について。

    「いついつ～」、例えば「来月からレッスンを始める」というような文章を巡って、以下のコメントが届いたのですが、文意がよく理解できません。 日本語に訳していただけますでしょうか。 "から" can only be translated "from" when there is also a "まで" phrase present. Otherwise, you need to use some form of "start" or "begin." Japanese is much more logical than English concerning this (as is often the case). Also, you cannot use both "begin to" and "starting"-- one or the other is fine, but in English saying both is redundant and awkward sounding. よろしくお願いいたします。
