  • [ALTTP]Are Ganon and Agahnim the same individual or two separate individuals?
    The Jisho.org dictionary translated Bunshin as:. Source: 5 months ago
  • Can’t figure out how to search up kanjis
    I use Google Translate handwriting detection to get the kanji as a character and then I use https://jisho.org to get the meaning. Source: 5 months ago
  • Question about verbs
    I recommend you using Jisho or renshuu as well, as Jisho is a dictionary and renshuu a learning platform (with dictionary). They'll help you with expressions and kanji. Also, I recommend you Yuko Sensei's YouTube channel, as she has a lot of videos about kanji, kana, particles, grammar, etc. Source: 5 months ago
  • How to learn a language you're not interested in?
    Front: Word how it is most commonly written (you can see if it is more commonly written in kana when searching it on jisho.org ). Source: 5 months ago
  • "BURN; I'M FREE" from Under The Tree is almost 1:1 to Berserk Eren from S1E25.
    Whether we consider official sub being wrong or not (there are different official subs btw for streaming and bluray anyway), here the original text does not mention the word world (世界, sekai) at all, it uses the world "all" or "everything" instead, which the translator interpreted meaning "world" (or thought it would sound cooler). The translation what I posted is accurate, feel free to take it to Google translate... Source: 10 months ago
  • Japanese-->english: what does Shii(青) mean?
    Just adding on to this, jisho.org is an incredibly useful online Japanese/English dictionary. You can look up kanji by drawing it (stroke order VERY much matters in this), by the radicals (the smaller pictures that make up the kanji, like 月 in 青), or by voice. Source: 10 months ago
  • Is the Japanese accurate?
    I personally use Takoboto for my dictionary, but sites like jisho.org are perfectly fine as well (Since I'm on mobile a lot, the Takoboto app works really well for me). Source: 10 months ago
  • Matching and planning to meet up with a Japanese guy from Bumble. Will the language barrier be hard or make it awkward?
    There were a couple times when it was difficult but just used jisho.org for individual words that I didn't know or couldn't explain in a way that made sense. Source: 11 months ago
  • Is Jisho's "usually written using kana alone" system reliable?
    The "usually written using kana alone" is not a jisho.org feature per se, but a part of JMDict, which is the internal Japanese dictionary used by the website. As such, it is not relevant if the "system" be reliable in the context of jisho as much as it is in the context of JMDict. Source: 11 months ago
  • Is Jisho's "usually written using kana alone" system reliable?
    Well most people here when they say Jisho mean jisho.org but there are also a dozen apps of the same name, but most probably just use the JMdict. Source: 11 months ago
  • Core 10k words with more than one meaning
    Recently, I've started editing my deck a bit as I go. For example, if the definition for a words is something ambiguous like "run" or similar, I'll look the word up on jisho.org and copay and paste the full set of definitions. It seems to work much better. Source: 11 months ago
  • Help with using embeded/iframe to automatically show result on a dictionary
    The website is jisho.org. I've tried with embed and iframe and both work but shows result for {{Frente}} and not the content of the field. Source: 11 months ago
  • Really don't understand why I got this wrong, since お before a substantive is usually just to indicate formality, but please correct me if I'm in the wrong here
    I guess it's not 'wrong' as such but お金 is just more common. I just looked money up on jisho.org and it comes up as お金 but also gives an option for just 金. Even in informal situations I still think I would use お金. I think it just rolls off the tongue better. Source: 11 months ago
  • Is There Good Wordplay For 正義 (seigi)?
    If you want puns anyway: I'll give some ideas here. You can also go to jisho and search "sei" and "gi" for more words or definitions. Source: 11 months ago
  • Can anyone read the vtuber's name? I'd love to see their perspective if they were streaming at the time.
    Using google translate or other sites such as jisho.org, which provide features to simply draw kana, you'll be able to copy paste and search for them easily. Source: 11 months ago
  • Where can I find reliable example sentences?
    Jisho.org has example sentences, underneath the word there is a "links" drop down and you can choose to search for sentences with the word. Source: 11 months ago
  • Please Help Me Recall An Online Japanese Dictionary, Is Still Existing? Is it Omoku Or Omokumo
    Tangorin.com, weblio.jp, jisho.org are my go-to dictionaries. Source: 11 months ago
  • Does this count as a shitpost? Hope you like it either way...
    Huh, I always thought it had something to do with "God" but having looked up "whale" on jisho.org and knowing Japanese phonetics it definitely checks out. Source: 11 months ago
  • Translate this to the last language(s) you were studying today. #8
    Jisho.org is an excellent website to look up Japanese words. They even have sample sentences to help you see how words are used in context. Source: 12 months ago
  • Where to get easy answers for silly questions
    There's two plugins for chrome that store your history of previous searches and kanji look ups via radicals. They modify the jisho.org website. Source: 12 months ago
  • ものざし or ものさし in Sumo
    I keep hearing the word ものざし or ものさし when I watch sumo and have looked it up on a variety of sources including jisho.org. I can't find anything. Source: 12 months ago
