「Learn Japanese」 How-to ask for and give advice with たら-Form Verb + （いいですか/どうですか）？

This grammar construct is used to ask for and offer advice as to what course of action to take. The general line for asking advice is どうしたらいいですか？ which translates to “What would be good to do?” in which どう means “what” or “how,” したら is the たら-Form of the verb する, and いいですか is the familiar phrasing that means “good” with an interrogative tone.

Overall, this dual-set of grammar patterns is very similar to the た-Form VERB + 方がいい in that it asserts an action that should be done. The nuance that たら-Form Verb + どうですか and たら-Form Verb + いい carry as opposed to た-Form VERB + 方がいい is that they are softer suggestions, translating to something along the lines of “how about doing VERB?” and “it’d be good if you did VERB” respectively as opposed to “you should best do VERB.”

Example(s):

頭が痛いです。どうしたらいいですか？ Atama ga itai desu. Doushitara ii desuka? (My head hurts. What should I do?)

すぐに寝たらいいですよ。 Sugu ni netara ii desuyo. (It’d be good if you went to sleep at once.)

ジャケットを忘れてしまいました。どうしたらいいですか？ Jacket o wasurete shimaimashita. Doushitara ii desuka? (I forgot my jacket. What should I do?)

あ、私のジャケットを借りたらどうですか？ A, watashi no jacket o karitara doudesuka? (Oh, how about borrowing my jacket?)

The year is 2015 AD. The human race has existed for over 200,000 years. Men still think women pee out of the vagina.

Reminder for those who don’t know, if you have a vagina, make sure to urinate immediately after you have P-in-V sex. Bacteria can get in your urethra during P-in-V intercourse so as soon as you are done having sex, go to the bathroom to pee, even if it doesn’t feel like you need to, because even a little pee can flush out the bacteria and prevent a UTI. I didn’t know about this and I got a UTI from my first time, and it was super awful and uncomfortable and unfortunately even those with good sex education rarely learn info like this. I want everyone with a vagina to know how to prevent it because UTIs suck hard. That is all.

Sex ed in this country is utterly worthless, always reblog. Never known when it might be seen with new eyes. Also, penis units should share with their vagina units if they don’t do this.

This is super important, I’ve gotten a UTI a couple of times before and it’s quite literally one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever had to go through (I even went to the ER) so please please pee after sex!!! 😭

fall-and-imagine

I’m going to keep bringing this up because the fact that so many people understand what it’s like to be ridiculed for being over weight from a young age disgusts me. I know many people will re-tweet or reblog this out of humor and I don’t find it funny at all cause all the things that they tweet about is a moment that actually happens and is devastating. If you don’t think that a mother has told her daughter she’s worthless and no guy will ever look at her because she’s over weight you r wrong and if you also don’t think a girl or guy has cried in a store trying on clothing cause they think they aren’t worth it you would be wrong again. And also if you notice it’s not just girls who have this problem boys do to and I personally believe we should stop fat shaming especially towards young children who will grow up thinking they are worthless. Rant over.

How to make a character's death sadder

Don’t have them die of old age after a long, fulfilling life. Many people don’t even think of this as sad (note that this can still work if you have enough of the other factors).

Leave one of their major goals unfinished. The more enthusiastic they are about completing the goal, the sadder.

Give them strong relationships with other characters.

Make them fight against whatever is causing their death. Their ultimate loss is sadder if they struggle.

Kill them in the middle of their character arc.

Don’t describe their funeral in detail. Maybe it’s just me, but I find that long descriptions of funerals kill the sadness.

7. If possible, try to kill them off in the middle of the story, so we had time to like them and we will have time to let the loss settle in.

8. Also, place surviving characters in a situation where having the deceased person there would help them get out. You can choose whether you will point this fact out or if you want the audience to make the connection themselves.

9. Make them die by sacrificing themselves to save someone they love from a danger created by the antagonist.

socialjusticeprincesses

based on a few deaths that made me blub like a baby…

10. have their loved one, broken hearted, tell the team to stop fighting because “its over.”

11. have their pet come looking for them.

12. have their loved one perform a popular song at their funeral so it makes the fans cry whenever it’s played.

13. family witnessing the death and/or blaming themselves.

so… let’s add some frustration to your dear readers’ sadness, shall we?

14. kill the character in the middle of making a joke, smiling, or expressing/experiencing joy/happiness.

15. make the character’s death slow and painful, but make them unable to call out for help even though they can literally see the other characters nearby.

16. after killing the character, have others think the character had betrayed them so they’d always hate them and remember them as traitors and never say nice things about them… Give your readers no chance to have group-therapy with other characters by making them the only ones who know the truth.

17. right before their death, show a side of them nobody has seen. (someone who is always tough and brave being genuinely scared of dying alone; someone who is always laughing being in tears before dying, etc.)

18. make them the only person who knows a big important secret that would help other characters in the story.

19. have them being lied to before dying. (thinking they’ve been betrayed; thinking they weren’t loved; thinking they’ve lost their loved ones, etc)

20. make the character very enthusiastic/passionate about a certain goal, constantly put stress on their goal, have them die unexpectedly before they can reach their goal.

and the best one…

21. have another beloved character kill them–better be a close friend to your character, one that absolutely nobody suspects, one that everyone can’t help but love, one who is always enthusiastic about things and encourages your character. THEN

reveal the truth only later when it’s too late and the a-hole character has already escaped.

have a cowardly character know the truth and never tell anyone else

have another character find out the truth and have them die before revealing it to others.

have the said character ^ not actually die, but go through something so they’d forget the friend of the deceased character is actually an asshole.

This way only your readers will know the truth, thus the frustration would be… most enjoyable for you.

Satan out.

22. Don’t kill their body. Kill their mind.

Leave the physical shell walking and talking, but strip out everything that made that person who they were. Make them forget all about their loved ones, themselves, their experiences and past, their skills, and have them have to start over completely from scratch. Physical and mental disabilities bonus points.

And keep them in a place where their loved ones will be taunted every day by a living ghost.
