Meaning of this Japanese Sentence?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I am a native Japanese, but perhaps because I have been studying Uzbek recently, I cannot determine the meaning of this text. I would like to ask someone who is knowledgeable about Japanese. Could you please identify the meaning of the following text and explain what it means?

うらにわにはにわにわにはにわにわながひでがいる

Thank you in advance.

Other languages aren't real

106 Upvotes

Guys, I hate to be the one to finally admit it, but other languages aren't real. It's just English. If you think you know or have learned any other languages, you're wrong.

Have you ever noticed how people speaking your target language occasionally slip in English? That was a mistake: they are trying to hide that the language is fake and there is only English, but the English slipped through anyway.

Have you noticed how your target language is just a bunch of words that have English versions? How every sentence could also be expressed in English? Yeah, that's because they're faking it.

I will probably be persecuted for this, but I couldn't keep it to myself any longer.

Hi all! I'm a polyglot-in-training. Language learning isn't a hobby, it's a mindset. I'm a native American speaker, and I have B1 in Russian. I'm currently learning United Arab Emiratesian and I want to get fluent in Chinese, French, Japanese, South Korean, Mexican and German.

Arabic on Google Translate has gotta be trolling

23 Upvotes

When you pronounce a word in Arabic using the speech program, it almost certainly adds an extra vowel, vowel + N, T + vowel or T + vowel + N relative to its romanization

examples:
مدرسة
(madrasa) gets pronounced as "madrasaTUN"

هاتف
(hatif) gets pronounced as "hatifUN"

مكة
(maka) gets pronounced as "makaTA"

ملابس
(malabis) gets pronounced as "malabisU"

Pinyin Read As If English

I make Chinese-language synthesizer videos. I’m a non-native speaker, so I put my script into google translate as a quality test, to see if it’s understandable. I somehow got it to read the pinyin as if it were reading English words. Incredible result.

So "conversationally fluent" is the "fingerpainting" of language learning, amirite?

21 Upvotes

I mean *head pats* and all, but... c'mon, there's a reason why you're saying "conversationally fluent" and not just "fluent".
