今朝のセミナー

I have one hour before I have to go to a Seminar on Final Cut Pro and Panasonic product incorporation. basically about filming footage, capture and storage. Problem; I am going to hear a lot of new language, This is a quick attempt to become familiar with some new 日本語 and brush up on some old stuff (I am also adding hiragana because I cant use my Rikaichan plugins on my iphone)

不気味女。怖い映像

I am always looking for scary or interesting stuff on YouTube. Doesn't matter that its most likely fake and - most of the time obviously so. It's the inspiration I am looking for. And I learn so many cool words to arm myself with. My conversations often end up with the following kinds of 言葉

Here are some words I liked from the above video;
不気味 - Eery, Ominous
赤ん坊 - baby
必死 - desperate
響く - sound
発見 - discovery
血液 - blood
泣き声 - cry
事実 - truth, fact
不穏 - ugly, unsettled, turbulent, uneasy

And here are some more I think should be added;
嘘 - lie, false
影 - shadow
姿 - (persons) figure, shape
殺人 - murderer, killer
屍 - corpse
死体 - dead person

And finally, What I have to add is for the most part inrelated to the above video.
落ちる is to drop
散る is also fall, but I have heard it used for flutter
飛び散る is to fly, splash or splatter.
Like an exploding person or zombies parts would.

Last word for you.

肉塊 - にくかい - used to describe those pieces of flesh.

肉塊が飛び散っている
lit. Pieces of flesh are flying.

Nice.

Taking this blog up a notch

Here is the first in a series of visual aides I hill be putting up from time to time. Todays expression; 目立つ／めたつ to stand out be obvious/ bold/ in your face.

numbers

Feel the need to count higher than any number than you would ever realistically need to count to?

I direct you here;

Japanese Fonts

ここに日本のフォントがある。よろしければ、使って下さい。普通、大文字、色々あります。

とは？Quick tip!

When searching the web at somewhere like, lets say... www.google.co.jp とは is super handy.
「とは」の意味は「what is?」と近いと思うです。

For example when googling for moon in English, you will get a heap of 'man in the moon' pics while in Japanese おもちを作るウサギ絵が出ます。This is obviously handy.

What is the moon?
月とは？

あれ？おれは月は知らないの？あんたは馬鹿？！？。。。とか。。。
