How to write Duolingo sound effect?
I’ve tried googling it, but there was nothing, only gemini telling that it could be
"Ta-da!" (the most common interpretation)
"Bada!" or "Dada!"
"Bling-blong!"
"Ting-tang!"
I wouldn’t particular believe it when it comes to slang. The version I imagine is “du-dun“ by the way.
Why am I asking, you ask? The thing is, my posts, usually, are very long, and it takes time to go through them. On a usual occasion that is not a problem at all, but the thing is, I want to try writing a post on this subreddit.
So coming from that, I cannot just write a post, as another user has politely pointed out, that I have to give a “reward for the brain” in a form of Duolingo sound effect.
Right now, I‘m considering writing a post, and adding one representation of that sound effect after each paragraph.
I would greatly appreciate your contribution!
tldr: what would likely be the most acceptable written version of Duolingo sound effect?
I like this subreddit!
When I started learning Japanese I was a regular user and commenter on r/LearnJapanese but after a few months I understood that there was nothing left new to me that I haven’t seen so far, and also it was quite toxic (fhuuu, that guy who can do 50 new cards in only 15 minutes from day one, I’ll find you some day and find out your secret methods)
So I stoped reading it, and started visiting a few time a month, saying something very long, and then getting like two views on my 3k characters writing, in which I put like zero hatred towards other learning methods (I like to say that I don’t have that), and a bunch of soul (maybe it’s the problem I’m lucking it sometimes? good that I’m writing this post so I can notice that)
But here, I feel like I read a post and write something “hmm, yeah, let’s just give some random commentary of what I actually think, and make it to not offend anyone, and respect every learning method, and methodology in general” (I like to think that I actually think that way and not trying to make the world a better place), and everyone loves it! I’m like getting so much upvotes for saying some normal things, that I even start to think it’s something revolutionary
So yeah, I think if I ever decide to write a lot of consecutive posts about me in past trying to learn a few languages in a lot of different ways and taking some insights from each, I think I’ll just post it here instead of any other place.
And by the way, why there’re no random weekly posts of people who‘ve learned Uzbek in like 4 months to C2? Like I’ve been following for 3 weeks and still nothing… How does it work here???
Looking for 狩野英孝’s live stream reaction’s recording on Madoka Magica
Hello everyone, I don’t use this subreddit often, probably not at all, but I thought it might be a good place to find what I’m looking for.
It’s definitely a question for those who know Japanese but, half a year ago or so, throughout all the Japanese anime community, became very popular the reaction streams of 狩野英孝 on Magoka Magica, for him being super synergic with the anime.
I only now found out about those streams through the short videos and reviews like this, and understood that I want to see those.
But the problem is, that stream was held on TVer, and when it has finished it has left no public recording, therefore I cannot watch it there, and as I understand, when the whole version is getting uploaded to YouTube, it’s getting removed instantly.
So if some of you know where could I find it, or maybe where can I ask about recording of it (some Japanese forums maybe?), it would be an immense help!
Again, sorry if it’s a wrong sub!
Finding out about the 5 types of アナマトぺ
Usually when Japanese people talk about onomatopoeia, the use 擬態語/擬音語 together, or more often say オノマトペ (especially in casual speech). But, while listening to ゆる言語学ラジオ I encountered the term 擬情語(ぎじょうご). A term used to describe アナマトぺ that conveys a feeling, like わくわく or ずきずき. I though about sharing this interesting finding here, but after a quick google search I understood that there are actually five of them!
The screenshot is taken from Tofugu article, which explains really well those five terms and them goes even deeper. I'm yet to finish reading, but I can recommend it https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/japanese-onomatopoeia/
edit: oh no, for some reason title says アナマトぺ instead of オノマトペ 草. Well, there is nothing I can do about it now
