It was another usual Japanese lesson on Thursday, and we were learning how to use ~ã¨ã, where ~ can be either the dictionary form or plain past tense of a verb, an i-adjective, a na-adjective or a noun. After the sensei went through the ways to use it, we had a verbal practice. There was one particular sentence that we had to complete.
「ã“ã©ã‚‚ã®ã¨ãã€ã€‚。。ã€, which tranlates to “When I was a child, …”. Everyone gave rather standard answers, such as they played a lot or they were very lively.
Then, it came to the other otaku who was sitting at the last row. How do I know he’s of the same species? His handphone rang a couple of times during previous lessons as he somehow forgot to switch it to silent mode. A Clannad fanboy it seems, with his ringtone set as Dango Daikazoku.
Anyway, when it came to his turn, here’s what he said.
「ã“ã©ã‚‚ã®ã˜ã‹ã‚“。(Kodomo no Jikan)ã€. And he stopped right there.
The whole class and the sensei just took it as a mistake in his reading since they didn’t know what that was, and the kanji for ji and toki is the same, 「時ã€. I was the only one who was laughing away. I could see that he was apparently quite distracted by other thoughts instead of paying attention to the lesson. How could you misread this when 9 of your classmates have just read the same phrase mere seconds ago?
Daydreaming about delicious flat-chested lolis isn’t something to be done in Japanese class. Fellow comrades who are keen on picking up moonspeak, please don’t follow this example.
*L* Poor guy.
I would have done the same….
An true hero ;-;
An hero.
I’m sorry, but that’s hilarious. I burst out laughing just from reading it.
There it’s proven, Otakus live in their own imaginary world. XD
sucks to be him
Shake his hand and make him feel proud. A man we should all look up to.
I hate those kinds of anime fans who are just learning Japanese because they’re stupid like that. It’s a language. Take it seriously.
Whoa, you’re just learning toki? I learned that like in level 1 Japanese.
LOL Owned.
Everyone > LOL at the comments. Who wants to be the next otaku hero?
Koji Oe > I’m using the textbook Minna no Ninhongo, and the lesson is currently at chapter 23. I know it’s a little slow, so I have self-studied ahead. Now, lessons are like revision for me, and to make sure that I fully understand what’s being taught.
Oh. Another interesting tale of The Other Otaku. I have quite a few of those as well. They bring the lulz.
fascinating story indeed. wish i was there to witness it.
I’m using the textbook Minna no Ninhongo too! But your lesson seemed to be more interesting…ahaha
Like panther said, An Hero.
And if I were there I’d have died of laughter, lol.
Never heard of ‘kodomo no toki’ before, seems like ‘kodomo no koro’ is more commly used.
Still, though, an amusing tale. Now I need to sign up for some Japanese lessons…
Koro and toki are the same, if I’m not wrong
Oh wow….i like that guy
