как правильно это сказать Question: KharismaticKay wrote: I do the majority of my studying from a particular site (I was going to say, but I remembered that might count as advertising, so never mind), and the sentence "watashi wa otoko desu" is being used to mean "I am a man", because it's being stated from a grown man.
Now, I know "otokonohito" and "onnanohito" would mean an adult man and adult woman, respectively, and "otokonoko" and "onnanoko" would mean a boy and a girl, respectively. What I'm wondering is whether not using "-nohito" or "-noko" and just using the bases, "otoko" and "onna", would simply mean "male" and "female", basically.
For instance, if a boy was saying, "watashi wa otoko desu", would it still mean "I am a man", and hence be incorrect for the boy to use it, or would the meaning be assumed to be, "I am male" and still be accepted as correct?
Answer: really, i didn't know about advertising, i always recommend people livemocha, lang-8, and memrise but i haven't gotten a warning. i even made a thread "which websites do you use?" which died quickly ^^;
there are a few confusions here, i hope i can clear this up. generally, your explanation is correct. "otokonohito" and "onnanohito" would mean adult man and adult woman, respectively, and "otokonoko" and "onnanoko" would mean a boy and a girl, respectly. "otoko" and "onna" would simply mean "male" and "female".
First confusion. "Watashi" is mostly used by women. When a man regards himself as "watashi", it sound VERY formal, for example, a scientist who's won an award would refer to himself as "watashi" in his speech. It's more common for males to say "boku", instead of "watashi". In casual situations, like when a guy is talking to his friends, it's quite common for him to use "ore".
A boy could say "boku wa otoko desu" to mean "i'm a boy". A man could say "boku wa otoko desu" to mean "i'm a guy/man". otoko/onna is usually used if you're referring to yourself because calling yourself otokonohito/onnanohito sounds a bit too objective. On the other hand, if you call someone "otoko/onna" it sounds a bit rude. www.interpals.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=68054&s...
Modo95, вообще говорят что в манге и аниме используется довольно примитивный язык. Но мне так хочется прочитать свою любимую мангу на японском. А пока я осваиваю азы, она тихонько пылится на полочке
Вообще в примере выше половая дискриминация на лицо. Мальчишкам значит про себя можно говорить и watashi и boku и ore, а нам оставили только watashi
Только в моей семье утро начинается со слов "МАМ! сними с себя мою яойную футболку!"
Drakoshka, Да, не справедливо ((( Зато Харухи Фудзиока из Оран Хост Клуба (если ты видел(а)) классно протролил(а) составителей клуба) И это часто используется, чтобы девушка в аниме эдакий квест "угадай, 男 или 女" )))))
