This is a question for the native Nihonjin, since I doubt that any textbooks
would answer this question.

The so-called `insulting verb ending', -yagaru, is commonly heard in speech
spoken in anger.  `Nani wo shi-yagata n da?' (loosely, `what the hell did you
do?') is a typical example.

What is less well-known is that this is actually the combination of a verb
stem with agaru (`rise', `go up', `offer to a superior').  This is one of the
few verbs implying superiority in Japanese that can be used in the first
person, albeit only as a high insult.

What is curious is the inflection of `shi-agaru' (suru + agaru) to
`shi-yagaru'.  Is this a general inflection, or does it only apply in certain
cases?  I'm wondering if it only applies when the preceeding verb stem ends
with an i-row mora.  Would a Type I verb, e.g. `taberu', take this form as
`tabe-yagaru' or only `tabe-agaru'?

Perhaps, "I don't like the head of the company"?  No, it's not what the
Japanese says, but the style strikes me as being a literal translation
from English.  Comments?

I know that Eleanor Jorden, the Queen of Japanese Linguistics, has
written a Japanese Profiency test for use through Educational Testing
Service.  I know this because I took the field version here at UH
during my 201 class.

It's done completely with the tape recorder, with multiple choice
responses (of course, being ETS--and bubble boxes-gasp!) to questions
in English regarding the dialogs between a male and female Japanese
person.  If you want to do well on this test, I suggest studying the
Jorden system.  Very biased !

It lasted about 45 mins., as I recall.  I don't know if it is in final
form yet though.  Jorden is either at Cornell or at Ohio State ...

Hope this helps.  Sorry to be so candid but I'm a scientist, not a
diplomat.

As an alternative, you may want to try learning Korean and Japanese together. I
have noticed that Koreans tend to pick up Japanese very fast so Korean must be
more similar to Japanese than would Chinese.

Francis, to take up a third language, one has to be good in both his first and

    If this word is directly said to the person it did, that's for
very strong anger.  I don't recommend to use this.
    But if this is used indirctly, it expresses sort of feeling when 
one would mutter "What shall I do?".  Example:

    (Watching rain) Hidoku huri-yagaru. = `It terribly rains'   

    In any case, this usage is mostly heard from men.  Some woman-pro-
wrestler has used this expression, though.  `Nani shi-yaganda yo^'

    I suppose this is not simply from agaru but iru + agaru -> i-agaru
-> i-yagaru -> yagaru.  Because this verb makes me feel like something 
is in progress in front of me.  See example of rain.

    Taking it literally, it should be used in the case he feels some 
respect to whom/which he refers.  But once this is used to show anger 
or blame, it would stress the disguised feeling.  We have some such 
cases in Japanese that a word originally used for respect turned its 
usage for curse.  Example "Ki-sama" = pronoun `you'.

    So, this verb "yagaru" never change its stem form after whatever verb;
"Tabe-yagaru" is right.

    Any other opinion, native Nihonjin?

Actually, I've been working out my own system for quite a while.  I've
put quite a bit of effort into it and I'm not too keen on giving it
away quite yet.  I`ve been using it on ME so far.  Sorry to disappoint
you but I should at least say that I'm not one to bitch about a system
without having something positive up my sleeve that will function as my
answer to the problem.

I will say that I believe in teaching small subsets of the language
that form small, integrated kernels that can be easily grasped in short
periods of time.  Also, I think that kanji and kana should be
incorporated as soon as the kana are mastered.  My idea of the "key" is
in demonstrating small information rich pieces that demonstrate a
variety of points, followed by extensive drilling for reinforcement.
The spoken and written language are intertwined through reading.  How I
go about doing this stuff is the part I'd rather not disclose, but I thought
I should write back SOMETHING since I started this.

I don't think this is a special case, nor particular characteristics
of Japanese. A sentense without its situation is often difficult to
understand, and the sentense of issue("kaija jin ....") was not a
natural japanese, therefore it's meaning is quite ambiguous and
difficult to understand. If there were kanji-version, the meaning
would be more clear, I guess.

Watch out for confusing situations if you're translating the name
Hell's Canyon. There is a hot spring in Nagano prefecture called
"Jigokudani" and I've seen that phrase used in other descriptions of
hot springs. "Jigokudani" translates as "Hell Canyon". Both colorful
descriptions for a place or type of place, but quite different places!

I did the mass Wordtank buy last March.  I'm a bit reluctant to do another
one.  I spent about 8 hours of my *vacation* in Japan dealing with the
purchasing, packaging, and mailing of the Wordtanks.  This doesn't include all
the time I spent in the US collecting the money, collating orders, and
following up after they were shipped (especially on the two orders that the US
Post Orifice lost for four weeks).

I learned a lot from the experience and there were a number of mistakes I
wouldn't make again.  However, it's a lot to put someone through, and with the
small profit margin I gave myself on top of having to eat unexpected expenses,
let's just say I wouldn't recommend doing it for a living.  I didn't lose
money on the deal, but I would have made a lot more at my job for the same
amount of time...

Hi Doug,

  The only test I know of that is used by many governmet agencies
(US government) is the DLPT (Defense Language Proficiency Test).
The military uses it as well as many Federal Agencies.  You can
take it by calling your local military recruiter and tell them
you want to join the Army/Air Force/Navy/Marines as a translator
or whatever they call the positions that require a language.

  Talk to you later!

Hi ... I'm looking for the literal and non-literal meaning of the phrase
"mono tari nai."  The taiko group that I'm in is trying to come up with a
name for an original piece and have heard that "mono tari nai" means something
like "something is missing" or "it just doesn't cut it" but have also heard
that it could mean "frustrating."

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Subject: SHARP *Action Manager* info?

I have just seen a new product from Sharp, called the Sharp Action Manager.  It
is the latest in Sharp`s line of personal organizers, called "Wizard" in the
U.S.  This latest model has pen input and handwriting recognition.  The pen
input recognizes kanji, kana, roman characters, greek characters, and arabic
numerals.  There plug in cards available from Sharp and from third parties,
including dictionary cards.

If it works as well in all modes as it seemed to in the brief demonstration I
had this would be a fantastic tool for anyone learning Japanese, especially if
they are living in Japan.  Instead of keying in stroke counts when looking up
an unknown kanji, one can draw it in.  Stroke order is important, which might
be considered a negative, but I would consider this a benefit as it forces you
to learn correct stroke order.

Besides using it as a dictionary, you can do all the other neat things you can
do with a personal organizer -- world time, calculator, calendar, datebook, to
do list, personal database.  It has a port on the side and an infra red
interface.

Disadvantages?  It`s larger than a  Word Tank (though sleeker).  The screen
lacks contrast, at least partly due to the technology for stylus input.  The
price might be considered high.  My friend bought it at Shinjuku`s Sakura-ya
for about $800 after much haggling.

That`s all I know about it.  Can anyone else add to this description?
Was $800 a good price?  Do other manufacturers make anything like it?  How well
does the dictionary work?  What can it be interfaced with?

Are  you also learning Chinese? :-)

I am looking for any information on undergraduate college programs to spend up 
to six months studying in Japan.  I am in my fourth year of a combined 
Electrical Engineering/Japanese language study program and would like to 
broaden my language skills.  In addition, please give me any information on 
scholarships available for this sort of program.

Thanks.
