However there are also words that ends with but considered as a na adjectives.


That's because na adjectives are nouns. If you look at it's in noun form. is obviously a noun since it has no okurigana. This one won't give you issues if you are learning words. "i" adjectives are also technically verbs and all verbs are also capable of being used as adjectives, but that can be confusing to some people. Just know you can use them for either purpose.

what do those mean or at least the hiragana so i can read them


jisho.org is a good source. But they are: otona meaning adult, karyuudo meaning hunter, and shirouto meaning amateur. Also the Udo/uto are technically the reading for and so you don't technically make the long vowel sound for the proceeding u/o, but it's not a big deal in practice if you do. At least not compared to something like or where it would be quite wrong to make the long vowel sound.

Mandarin grammar is like English, but a lot easier. Japanese grammar is brutal if you are a native speaker of either of the other two. It's funny. I live in Japan, speak Japanese at work, speak Japanese to my SO (a native Mandarin speaker), just constantly using it. I use English online and when writing papers. I use Mandarin almost never. And yet I still find Mandarin grammar easier to grasp overall.

i know a little mandarin and some hanzi. so far all of them mean the same thing with different pronounciation. good i can cross this one off the list.


Well 3 has the same pronunciation. :p

But yeah over 50% of vocabulary is identical between Japanese and Mandarin. There are only about 300 simplified characters in Japanese though (and most minorly simplified), so if you only know simplified it can be hard (especially since they aren't always the same and traditional is still used in Japanese names even for simplified characters). That said learning that dianhua is denwa is not going to be hard. Or taiyang is taiyou, etc. You will start to notice patterns for many sounds making it quite easy. The problem of course being in Japanese a single character can have many, many readings, and they can be very divergent and sometimes one off special readings (like for example, when read kyou). Mandarin is a lot easier in the reading department even if they commonly use slightly more characters (around 3000 in Japanese gets you to 99.99% of vocab versus around 5000 in Mandarin).

They wernt researching anything previously. They were just lying just like youre lying when you say whaling is great and its great to make species go extinct.


They actually did do research and it's published and you can read it. Obviously they were motivated to do it because they wanted to eat whales but the IWC only allowed white majority countries to do that for some reason. So they did research whaling in order to comply. I don't think whaling is great, but I do know it won't make them go extinct. Like I said, I don't eat animals.

Probably because those countries aren't doing it in a designated whale sanctuary. But sure, racist white people are the real reason. It has NOTHING to do with Japan lying about doing research and illegally whaling in the Southern Ocean's Whale Sanctuary. Nothing at all.


Then you should be happy that they will no longer be fishing in a whale sanctuary designated in international waters by a country that has no authority to do such a thing. They will only be whaling in their own waters now and not international waters.

They've been following the rules and using a legal loophole.

No, they've pretty much been exploiting the rules. The ONLY reason they're resuming "real" whaling is because an international court ruled in 2014 that their "research" was a crock of shit.


Every other country that is allowed to exploit rules gets zero flack. I wonder why? Why can Norway, a much smaller country, harvest more whales? They weren't even claiming it was for research, they just said the rules don't apply to them and no one questions it. Greenland explicitly broke the rules and doesn't care. Some countries are allowed to do it for "tradition", but Japan isn't. The whole system was obviously biased against the Japanes and they left. I don't eat whale (or any other animal for that matter), but I'm not going to pretend we weren't being treated differently than every other country that whales.

Because they've been exploiting the rules.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Cetacean_Research

And Norway didn't resume whaling until the turn of the millennium after a study of a population of species that were traditionally ignored, the Minke Whale. And even then they set the quota at around 1200, and barely half of it's taken. The Faroe Islands have always done it traditionally, and Denmark is stuck managing that since the Faroes are legally Danish territory.


They've been following the rules and using a legal loophole. Greenland just ignored the rules because no one would do anything about it. Other countries also use loopholes but no ones cares. Weird you talk about Norway only hunting Minke whale after doing a population study when Japan hunts the exact same whale and also did a population study. If you're trying to argue Japan isn't being singled out you're doing a terrible job at it.

Why is it okay for countries with white people to whale and not Japan? Why does Japan, the only whaling country that followed the rules get singled out for leaving rather than ignoring the rules or exploiting different loopholes like other countries do? I mean isn't it weird that Japan doesn't take the most whales of any country by raw numbers and is among the lowest as a percent of population yet all the hate goes toward Japan? What is it that makes people hate them so much and forgive all the white countries?

I don't even eat meat, but the hypocrisy makes me sympathetic to Japan's plight.

It's absolutely ridiculous how Japan got singled out to not be allowed to whale when so many other countries (all mysteriously populated by Europeans) are allowed to do so without censure. Japan will harvest under 500 whales a year from a species of at least over 500,000 (possibly in the millions). That's less than .1%.

I live in Japan and do not eat whale which is pretty widely available where I live. That said, I am fine with Japan doing this because the IWC has decided to ignore all science and data related to sustainable whaling forcing Japan to join other whaling nations like Iceland and Norway in leaving. If the IWC doesn't want sustainable whaling to exist, because it objects to all whaling for any reason it shouldn't be surprised nations that want to continue eating whale won't be involved. It's really quite foolish because Japan provided them with a very decent proposal last year and they rejected it because they just want to ban whaling.

The scientific theorist is not to be envied. For Nature, or more precisely experiment, is an inexorable and not very friendly judge of his work. It never says "Yes" to a theory. In the most favorable cases it says "Maybe," and in the great majority of cases simply "No." If an experiment agrees with a theory it means for the latter "Maybe," and if it does not agree it means "No." Probably every theory will someday experience its "No" - most theories, soon after conception.

copyright laws are property laws. if you care about private property and individualism then you want copy right laws.


Except they aren't, which is why most libertarian philsopher's oppose them. Copyright laws are anti-competition government granted monopolies that create artificial scarcity. The only reason stealing is wrong is because it deprived someone else of property. If I have a car and you steal it I can't use it anymore and would have to give up resources to replace it. That's what makes it wrong. If it instantly replaced itself it would no longer be wrong. Ideas aren't scarce and therefore there is nothing wrong with "stealing" an idea. The problem is companies want to make more money than the market would naturally allow so they artificially create scarcity where it isn't and get a government granted monopoly in order to extract more profit. Everyone other than the company loses in this case and the economy is by definition less efficient because you are now devoting scarce resources to purchase things that are not actually scarce and have an artificial market value.

Both of those countries are captialist. Why won't this meme about the Nordic model being socialist die already?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model

Although there are significant differences among the Nordic countries, they all share some common traits. These include support for a "universalist" welfare state aimed specifically at enhancing individual autonomy and promoting social mobility; a corporatist system involving a tripartite arrangement where representatives of labor and employers negotiate wages and labor market policy mediated by the government;[6] and a commitment to private ownership (with some caveats), free markets,[7] and free trade.[8]

The Nordic model is underpinned by a free market capitalist economic system that features high degrees of private ownership[3] with the exception of Norway, which includes a large number of state-owned enterprises and state ownership in publicly listed firms.[28]

Miscasting the main characters. All of them are white, not Asian or black.


That's objectively wrong. Faye is Singaporean. Did you even watch the show? The ethnicities of the others aren't known.

Singaporean is not an ethnicity.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singaporeans

"According to the 2006 AsiaBarometer survey, a majority of Singaporeans identify themselves as "Singaporean", while a small percentage prefer to identify with their ancestry or ethnic group."

"Singaporeans of Chinese descent make up 74.1%, Malays make up 13.4%, Indians make up 9.2%, and residents of other ethnicity make up 3.3% of the 3,870,739 of the resident population (including persons holding Permanent Residency)."

It's pretty hard to reconcile that, and her name of Faye with her somehow being white.

I thought this was just something people used to attack Hillary for defending that child rapist, I didn't think anyone actually believed it.
