@satsunami it's my understanding that boku is used more in anime and music than real life, and that it's mainly used by children.
Also, if you're introducing yourself, I believe there are more natural sounding ways to do it. Just say your name and then desu. Pronouns aren't used as much in Japanese as in English.
@Unboxious I haven't seen any of those yet. One of my problems with SD Gundam World was the product placement. Like I know Bandai wants to sell toys and there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but I don't want the show to feel like it's full of ads.
I'm curious about G Gundam since it looks more comedic than the other ones.
@Endmaker I've seen others, I just wanted to rewatch the first one.
so far I have seen the original, zeta, chars countterattack, the first hathaway movie, the first thunderbolt movie, witch from mercury, gqux, some of origin/wing/00, and a little bit of zz, but I didn't like that one. and I've also watched some of the SD series like brave battle warriors and gundam world.
So I've seen a lot but there's still so much more...
@IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet nonbinary is an umbrella term for people who don't consider themselves to only be a man or a woman. so multigender people, agender people, people with culture-specific genders (like two-spirit for Native Americans), etc.
@darklamer@osloengelen English has a term that's sort of the opposite of that, "Irish twin." Means a kid born less than a year after their previous sibling. Comes from the time when Irish-American immigrants were known for having lots of kids.
@emb I need to study more. I also made a new rule for myself that I'm not allowed to buy any more Japanese manga/books until I've read the stuff I have.
@emb I've been reading lots in my mother tongue, English, and I wish I could read so easily in Japanese... I need to find some good books for beginners. And by that I mean regular reading, not manga. I do have manga I want to read too but it's different...

@Endmaker video won't load in my region but it's okay, I haven't seen any SEED yet anyway.
I always hear people say it's horrible but it seems to be very popular in Japan/Asia.
I'm rewatching the original Gundam now but I'm almost done. I don't know which to watch next...
@emb I want to read more. anyone have any recommendations for good physical books for someone who is still a beginner at reading Japanese?
are the "Learn Japanese Through Haiku" books any good?
no manga or VNs please

@emb @MastKalandar what's the advantage of using piefed? I don't know much about it
@Grail my question is, did you have to remove all your hair from down there before surgery? and can you still grow hair there now?

@surfacetension looks cool but I've never used matrix before, what app would you recommend? does it matter?

@ascend it's easier for me to do when I squeeze my eyes shut and yawn. I don't know why
@lasta what language?
@emb I need to study more. I also made a new rule for myself that I'm not allowed to buy any more Japanese manga/books until I've read the stuff I have.
@arxaseus what are you using to study Irish?
@emb yes but I'll take another look
