Since I am sitting here crying into my cups waiting for a chance to join my linkshell in Darkhold (Thank you SE for so generously lowering party limits from 15-8 and not giving us alliances, it has been such a blessing for organizing our linkshell's events ばか)... as I promised in our oh so pleasant gratuitous diatribe on xenophobia, here is the list of phrases I often use to help me in communicating with our fellow players from Japan. Much credit goes to whoever wrote the original list I borrowed heavily from during my time in XI.

There are some typos and slight grammar mistakes, but very nice work.

07-23-2011, 02:59 PMMuruganYes I am aware of that however for the non-fluent coming from English it is easier to understand this way and not impossible to understand for Japanese people. If you want to try and fool them into actually thinking you are Japanese you'll want to delete the spaces probably.Quote:

07-23-2011, 03:10 PMMuruganNope 99.99% of the time it doesn't in fact more often than not they are delighted to see someone try and try to speak English to me as much as they are able. However in XI I knew people who faked their way into JP shells under the guise they were in fact Japanese even though they did not know the language at. all. Probably helped that they were playing slutty cat women though (blinds us all).Quote:

This is a wonderful tool for me. I tried making my own since I joined a Japanese based Linkshell. However, I saved it on notepad and once I brought it up, all the Hiragana was gone. ; - ; I've been trying to at least grasp the basic understanding with romaji and some hiragana, but it's hard. x.x I feel communication is really important though, so I keep trying. =) Thanks again.

great collection, thanks a lot for posting:D
I know some very basic Japanese but there are a lot of times when I am unsure how to communicate something, and the auto-translate leaves much to be desired. I think I will study over these as I am sure they will come in very handy! -

Thank you very much for posting this! Yes, I'd love it if this would be added to auto translate. A lot of these would be a huge help. Shame we can't use the "I'm going to my Mog House" one. At least not yet ^_~
I've had problems trying to figure out how to say some things before in auto translate that would make sense to the other person. Any one know if there is a list out there of the words and phrases that are currently available in auto translate? -

Edit:
As a personal aside, it feels really awkward typing spaces in those sentences
