Money-related words

札（さつ）bill (as opposed to coins). Ex. 千円札（せんえんさつ）1000-yen bill

小銭（こぜに）coins (as opposed to paper bills)

両替（りょうがえ）money exchange, either foreign currency exchange or getting change for a large bill.

～料（りょう）, ～代（だい）suffix for “fee/cost of….” There are differences but I prefer to remember which suffix goes with which type of cost rather than the rules for how they’re different. (ex. タクシー代 taxi cost, 手数料（てすうりょう）handling charge.) I use 料金（りょうきん）for a general standalone “cost/fee.”

～費（ひ）suffix for expenses. (ex. 生活費（せいかつひ）living expenses)

振込み（ふりこみ）bank transfer, a common payment method

引き出し（ひきだし）withdrawal from an account. You’ll see this on ATMs and the like but in conversation you’ll hear 下ろす（おろす）

預け入れ（あずけいれ）deposit into an account

残高（ざんだか）remaining balance

金額（きんがく）amount of money

[yukusaki]

Another reminder from me to me

見える（みえる, mieru）is to be visible

見れる（みれる, mireru）is to be able to watch something and is more volitional

And therefore

見えない（みえない, mienai）means that you can’t see something (ie because it’s too small, too far away, hidden, etc.), and

見れない（みれない, mirenai）means that you can’t watch something (ie you wanted to watch a movie but your parents said no)

[yukusaki]

植える（うえる ueru）to plant

[yukusaki]

A random vocab set

しゃっくり（が出る）(to) hiccup

くしゃみ（が出る・をする）(to) sneeze

あくび（が出る） (to) yawn

咳（せき）（が出る・をする）(to) cough

[yukusaki]

Japanese-specific grammar words

General and English-specific word sets

助数詞（じょすうし）counter words (such as ～枚 for sheets of paper and ～匹 for small animals)

ためぐち　casual speech

丁寧語（ていねいご）formal speech (I think it technically refers to the です・ます level but I hear it used pretty generally for all of the more formal levels collectively.

尊敬語（そんけいご）honorific speech (ex. 召し上がる, めしあがる), and 謙譲語（けんじょうご）humble language (ex. いただく)

可能形（かのうけい）potential form (ex. 書ける, can write)

受身形（うけみけい）passive voice (ex. 書かれる, is written)—I know this one is not really Japanese-specific >.<

使役形（しえきけい）causative form (ex. 書かせる, to let/force to write)

I did another post on this topic last year, but I thought it could use an update with some more books! And yes, the last post had people repeatedly adding on queer books by white people, so I’m a bit salty about it.

Other queer SFF PowerPoints:

Massive queer SFF rec post

Trans SFF

F/F SFF

Bi and Pan SFF

Ace SFF 

I’m not transcribing all the text, but you can find the titles, authors, information on TW, etc beneath the cut.

When possible, I’m linking to my database of queer books. The page for each book includes the synopsis, content warnings under spoiler tags, and links to reviews from queer readers. If it’s not in the queer database at the time of posting (8/24/19), I’ll link to Goodreads instead.

Keep reading

I mourn for the languages that are lost, the ones we are losing. The children beaten for using their native tongue in school, the pull in the stomaches of the ones alive today and the ache in their throat as they hold back tears and realize they don’t remember the word for something. I grieve for the cultures faded into a memory, or a picture, maybe even nothing. The Native people of the Americas, the Gaelic of Scotland, the longing for the feeling of a language on their tongue that will never come, the knowledge that it was not time or gradual change that stole their words from them, but men.
