Japanese to english translation question....what does wataridori mean?

Yes, metdevthegamer is correct.\n\nWatari = a ferry and, in a verb form as "watariaruku", means to wander from place to place.\nDori (or rather "tori") = bird.

Gordon Bennett! You don't want much, do you?!! Anyway, I'm sure you already know that online translations are pretty useless!\n\nSend Message = 送信 【そうしん】(source, hotmail)\nAdd to Friends = ともだちにくわえる (Yahoo!jp mail)\nInstant Message = インスタントメッセージ (normally. But occasionally 即刻メッセージ might be used.)\nAdd to Group　= グループにくわえる\nForward (as in forward an email) = 転送 (てんそう)\nAdd to Favorites = it could be \nよく使う項目に追加　（よくつかうこうもくについか）\nOR おきにいりにいれる\nBlock = ブロック\nRank User - not sure. But 臭い means 'rank' as in 'stinking', ie. like a steaming hot pile of ****!!\nHome = ホーム (or homepage = ホームページ)\nNext = 次へ (つぎへ source, msn japan search.)\nLast/previous = 前へ (まえへ source, msn japan search.)\nIndex - インデックス or さくいん\nArchive = アーカイブ\nSearch = サーチ　(or hotmail's 'find' = けんさく)

Japanese. Full stop. End of story. Move along now.\n\nThe pronunciation's a doddle, but the grammar is completely alien to 99% of humanity, the writing is a dog's dinner of Chinese characters (pronounced different ways depending on the situation) AND not one but 2 syllabaries (like alphabets), and then there are so many registers (using different words depending on the social context) that a foreigner will never get it 100% right. Take the first person singular pronoun: in English, just one, "I", changing according to function ("I" as subject, "me" as object etc.). In Japanese, "watashi" for some social situations, maybe "atashi" said by a female, maybe "boku" by a male among friends, maybe "watakushi" said by an employee to his boss, maybe "ore" by a drunk man on a train station platform... ad nauseam!

♡Well, the way the "sentence"(?) is written means nothing to me as "a whole", but  the individual words are Japanese and have meaning. For example: \n☆"Mai-" マイ (pref) my; one's own; personal; privately owned; 毎, means "every or each", "mai"　舞 can also mean "dancing; a dance",  枚 【まい】 counter for flat objects (e.g., sheets of paper); \n☆"Ranmyaku"  乱脈  means  "disorder; confusion; chaos". \n☆"Amimono" 編み物; 編物 means "knitting, web". \n☆"Maruki" 丸木 is "a log". in Japanese. \n☆That could say anything.(??) \nIt could be Japanese, but perhaps you have the the order mixed up a bit. \nHope this helps you!♡\n☆EDIT: You're so very welcome! Well, if the message was in reference to your weblog, then it could just very well be the meaning of the message. Hope I was able to help you!

Could it possibly be "nondaiyo"? Nondaiyo is a expression of surprise, similar to "what happened?" So, I guess it's might be "What happened! Do you have it?"

I just want to post a small correction.  The first poster was almost correct but the Japanese translation wasn't human enough.  The "live" it translated is used with living in a location, not living a life.\n\nThe correct translation would be: 後悔なしに生きる (koukai nashini ikiru).\n\nAnyway, I'm sorry to hear about your uncle and I wish you and your family the best.

This is a bit of an awkward question!!\n\nMy first thought was "why doesn't he ask his wife?!" but depending on circumstances it's possible she might not know...?!\n\nA lot of it depends on her circumstances - for example, you don't say how old she is, but Tatsue is a VERY old name, so IF she's old then she probably hasn't GOT a kanji ... in those days (the days of my mother-in-law!) women's names didn't have kanji, only hiragana - たつえ.\n\nAlso, as you already know, there could be loads of different combinations of kanji to make that name! Was she born outside of Japan? And not registered with the Japanese embassy? That would explain the lack of a kanji...\nWas she named after a Japanese grandmother perhaps?\n\nIf her parents are still around, ask them what her name means - that will be the best clue as to which kanji she's supposed to have! Or maybe they told her about it when she was younger.\n\nIf no-one knows, or if she was just given hiragana, let HER choose her own kanji!!!! That would be a nice touch!!\n\nBut PLEASE!! Make sure she's happy with the thought of you getting a tattoo before you do it!! Some women get very upset about things like that - especially if they're not warned about it in advance!!!!!\n\nAnyway, I'll add this to my watch list, so that I can check to see if you've added more information! If you do, maybe we can help you find a suitable kanji - my husband's Japanese, and of course there's always the online dictionaries...!

"Watashi wa anata no tameni kôhî o iremashita."\nwatashi wa - I (subject)\nanata no tameni - for you\nkôhî o - coffee (objective)\niremashita - poured ( in japanese make coffee you must translate pour coffee )\n\nTranslatin word by word it looks like this, but  I am afraid that it is not so natural japanese though it is completely correct one.\n\n"kimi ni kôhî o iretayo." or "kôhî iretayo" are more casual conversation style\n\nBut in more natural Japanese :\n"kôhî ga hairimashitayo." - Coffee is served.

♡I learned that "junjou" [also "junjouna"] means pure hearted, naive. "Kanjou" means feeling(s), (an) emotion... This phrase most likely means pure hearted feeling(s) or naive feeling(s). I would tend to say "pure hearted feeling(s)" as it sounds so beautiful. Hope this helps!♡\nEDIT: I have lived in Japan over 8 years now.\njunjou 純情\njunjouna 純情な\nkanjou 感情

I already answered this question, but the asker was someone with different id, so here's the copy and paste:\n\n"That sounds vaguely Finnish; it looks like heavy dialect from around Tornio or somewhere near (North-Western part of Finland I would guess; could also be from more south, but definitely somewhere west). If I try to make some sort of translation:\n\n"Ei oo kyl" means "it isn't" or "this isn't", though in dialect. "raponen" is a word used only in very few Finnish dialects (this is why I guess this is from around Tornio), a more common Finnish word meaning the same would be "häävi", meaning "ok" or "quite good". So "Ei oo kyl raponen" would mean "It (or this) isn't too good".\n\n"Myyräki kurkkii" would literally mean "Also the mole is peeking", but as this is also heavy dialect, the actual meaning is something like "And I (or you/he/she/it, not defined in that expression) also need(s) to take a dump"\n\n"Vai mikä vitun tappi liene" would mean something like "Or whatever pin/cone/stick that is", powered up with the f-word.\n\nSo basically this could be a rude comment from someone who is looking at someones behind (backside, buttocks, or whatever expression you find suitable), meaning "That's not too good looking, also there's some kind of weird stick pointing out, I wonder if he/she needs to go to bathroom and fast..."\n\nI hope you're not offended, I only translated it."

"I DON'T speak Japanese." can be said a few ways. Any of these will do. -Watashi wa Nihongo o hanashimasen. OR Watashi wa Nohongo o shaberanai desu. "I CAN'T speak Japanese."- Watashi wa Nihongo o hanasemasen. "\n♡Hope this helps!♡\n\nEDIT: Black Dog is right, if you say this↑ Japanese, people will assume that you have some knowledge of the Japanese language. I've lived in Japan over 8 years now and I always hear "foreigners" say simply; "NO Japanese." (I'm American.)

There is a few ways. The key word here in most usages is 'Samishii' or sometimes 'Sabishii' depending on your accent. \n\nHere are some examples\n\nSamishii kunarimasu ka? = Miss me?\n寂しいくなりますか\n\nAnata wa watashi ga samishii kunarimashita ka? = Did you miss me?\nあなたは私が寂しいくなりましたか\n\nWatashi wa anata ga samishii kunaru. = I miss you\n私はあなたが寂しいくなる\n\nI'm not a native speaker so this may not be totally correct. Good luck. And if you want to get really technical, Samishii actually means lonley, but if you use it with kunaru(to become) it means to miss someone.

Hi\nHere's a rough translation! I've tried to translate as close to the original meaning as possible (eg by translating some idiomatic phrases into their english counterparts with similar meanings)\n\nHataraku yo (Move it) *\n(by Puffy)\n\nMove it, those of you who can move it\nShow your ambition to be a pro\nIt’s when you feel like crying that you have to strive\nYou’d put on your makeup as always\nShowing everyone a happy face\nSometimes even deceiving with your smiles\nBut I have to tell you, it’s not worthwhile\nThe true end-result is everything\nIt’s only you, from the bottom of my heart\nIt’s only you, who shows her tears\nYou’re a hard-worker, so brighten up\nOr it’ll somehow be a painful thing\n\nGet on and move it, those of you who can move it\nIf you fall in love, things get uncertain\nAnd everything seems to be a dream \nSo don’t show anyone your tears\nTry an image change\nWin a victory, with your true face\nDon’t think about failure\nOr you’d be gambling with your own future\nYour mother and I have just one\nIdea firm in our hearts:\nThat a strong girl\nHas to be a good girl\nSo move it, move it\n\nShow your ambition to be a pro\nTry your very best right when you long to cry from sorrow\nShow everyone a happy face:\nMove it, move it\nWhen you fall in love, you get confused\nAnd everything seems to be a dream\nBut don’t show us your tears\nMove it, moving one\nMove it, move it.\n\n*Hataraku can either mean to physically work (in a job, etc) or to make use of one's brains, etc. But the context of the song makes "get moving" or "get cracking" more fitting \n\n--hope it helps! cheers and happy thanksgiving
