raindragon's Questions (40)

I don't get how a comment that states a fact and compliments the translator gets down voted. I sometimes wonder if people actually read before downvoting.

These titling mistakes bother me and a lot of other people who have a sensitive ear for grammar, usage, and lyric quality. Also, they happen so often that it defies all logic.

u can just say "kuroko's basketball" and done.

^^^^

it's not about saying something. I could call it "basketball ball ball" if I wanted or "The trouble with basketball." It's not about me talking to myself. come on, man.

I'm sure you're nice and you mean well, but this kind of answer is annoying. It's like you didn't even read or try to comprehend the point. It's about grammar and translation. It's not about "and done." or something I can "just say" I'm not confused, and I don't need you to sort anything out for me. jesus.
It's a comment, not a question. A legitimate response is to give an intelligent or entertaining opinion about the comment. Please don't answer otherwise.

Wellim not that good at english grammar so i dont really care but you should leave it to the translater after all their the on who work for it and i the whos translating it have trouble too and if you have problem then how about translating it yourself so that you wont have a problem ..... Thats all think about how hard it is to translate (sorry for butting in)

It's correct both ways

lmao "Kuroko's Basketball" is the official translation of the title and "The Basketball Which Kuroko Plays" is the english rendering of the original japanese title.

it's literally on viz media's website btw https://www.viz.com/kurokos-basketball

it's not correct both ways, stupid.

sorry but I wan't referring to the official whatever. I was referring to this translation on this site, k?

lmao u literally need to find ur chill bro, not everyone is going to comply to your rules of grammar. this whole thing is really not that deep tbh. it's just a fckn title.

"pronoun & determiner
pronoun: which
1.
used referring to something previously mentioned when introducing a clause giving further information.
'a conference in Vienna, which ended on Friday'"

The Basketball (clause) which Kuroko plays (further information)

All right, Buji, listen closely because I'm going to give you a grammar lesson free of charge. I don't know where you learned English, but your teacher made a mess of it.

"That" tells which one. "Which" adds a fact about the only object in question.
example 1:
The conference in Vienna, which ended on Friday, was a big success. (adds a fact)

"Which" is almost always preceded by a comma.

example 2:
Of all the conferences, the one that was in Vienna was the best. (tells which one)
which conference? the one that was in Vienna

Who cares about "official?" "Kuroko's Basketball" is still a bad title. It sounds like a story about a boy playing with his new basketball.
The title, "The Basketball that Kuroko Plays" conveys the game of Basketball, not just one basketball, and it hints at someone named Kuroko who has a unique way of playing it. This title is clear but still entices, has lyric quality that the other title doesn't, and even sounds a bit sexy.

i dont want to argue with anyone :( smbdy come save me....

hey, is your chilled-out way of thinking always this sloppy?

well, you know I do work on a translation team.

They're not MY rules of grammar. What? Do you think I just pull this stuff outa my ass? come on, man.

Actually, "which" is a better fit here than "that". "That" SOUNDS better, but is grammatically inferior.

......wow.

LOL, what an asshole. Go back to school.

I'm good, but thanks. I'd recommend you go back yourself, but it'd be a waste of tax dollars, so just climb back into your trash heap.

why don't you do yourself a favor and read all of my comments. I explained this in detail, and I really do think you would benefit.

Don't just jump someone's shit before you've even followed the thread of the conversation. Also, politely use a real identity. Take responsibility for the things you say. You're comments are really rude, and your grammar could sincerely use some help.

One more thing, in this as in most grammar there is no such thing as "grammatically inferior." There's correct and incorrect. It's not a choice. In this case, "That" is correct. "Which" is incorrect.

No, that's not true. Grammar has exceptions and has a lot of general rules. There are numerous situations where there are multiple correct options, but one is "more correct" than another.

I did read through the thread, actually. Your summary was incorrect. You were correct with your information about "that", but incorrect about "which". The situation you presented was a correct usage of "which", but it omitted some of its additional purposes. "That" is correct when you are presented with multiple possibilities in order to specify which one. If you are talking about basketball, there is only one kind of basketball. In volleyball, you can play beach volleyball or regular volleyball, in which case, "that" would be appropriate to discern between them. We don't need to discern between two or more different types of basketball in this case. Kuroko has a special style of play, most likely, but he can only play one game of basketball, because only one exists. Does that clear things up?

Also, if you're rude to people, they are likely to return the favor. Here's a hint: calling someone an asshole and telling them to go back to school is rude. Additionally, publicly shaming volunteer translators for imperfect grammar is rude. Try a different approach next time, and people might be nicer. Good luck.

It's better than abandoning your cats, just because it became a nuisance and you cannot be bothered to take care of it. You're trying to solve a problem, it's a coping method. You're not taking its freedom, and you're still a lovely cat owner.

They usually have a medicine that keeps cats or other animals calm/doped up so they don’t hurt themselves or others when they are at the vets. My cat acted like a wildcat at the vet’s but after getting the drug (we mashed it into her food and she ate it) she was a lot calmer and was not afraid of being in the environment at the vets. Your cat should be fine and vets are extremely practiced at neutering fully feral cats as well.

it's also better than having him mate and then a litter of kittens coming out of that bc you have no idea what will happen to them esp if you're in a area with lots of careless people

omg, is that for real about the calming drug? thank you so much. all of what you said really does make me feel better.

I really can't believe someone could abandon a pet. It's horrible, right? thank you for your nice words, and I loved "a lovely cat owner!" I'm thinking you are, too. ty

in the next block from me there's a house where tons of feral cats are just spread out all over the front yard. My cat was going up there where there's constant fighting, spraying, and mating. the place smells, and I think the owner of the house probably means well and thinks they're being nice, but they're not caring for those cats at all, just feeding them by spreading dry food all over the driveway. My cat came home from there with four serious infections in the past year.

Sorry for answering so late! Lol, but I did used to work at an animal hospital, so I can understand where a pet owner like you is coming from. The place that I used to work at would always have a separate room of cages for surgery animals and ISO pets, so if that’s the case, it is usually a pretty calm environment meant to prevent any stress. If your cat really is experiencing a lot of stress, as said in previous comments, there is a drug to calm the nerves. However, usually surgery can be done in the same day as they go home. Especially a cat neuter since they are pretty easy to do.

You sound like a really wonderful cat mother compared to what I have seen. And you are doing a great thing as getting neutered removes the risk of unwanted pregnancies and testicular cancer. Other than that, please rely on your vet and their staff to complete their work, because animal saftey has always gone first in my book. Thanks for reading, and I give you and your cat, the best of luck! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

coming from someone who actually worked in an animal hospital, I'm really grateful for your answer. It really does make me feel better. I've been so anxious about this. thank you.

shit, I forgot the link: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/wolf_in_the_house/

Gimme dat pen.

LoL. can i email it?

did u like wolfie?

yep, unfortunately mangago now prevents right-clicking -> saving images (〜￣△￣)〜

Not to mention that the watermarks that are scattered around the pages of the manga are quite annoying.

Yes, right click still not work. But can't be this just an issue, they hadn't solved yet? Somthing's going on the site, new webtoon category, the annoying watermarks, not downloading pictures, black pages, etc.
Raindragon, you are the uploder of Deadlock manga, right? Maybe an uploader asks, the admins answer what's happening. I sent a message, but they didn't answer. Maybe you could be luckier with them.
They don't own any manga here, so they don't have the right to prevent users save them just for own using. I hope they know it.

Do they now? What about screenshots? People who try to stop others from saving images don't think about this. I can just screenshot, crop, and it's mine, and I can remove the watermarks. What now?

Yeah, I'm the Deadlock person. thank you so much for noticing! If you're on Chrome there are two extensions you can get. one is "RighttoClick" the other is called, "pumpkin something." Pumpkin works. I can still right click and use the context menu. I don't think sites should put in code that prohibits saving images. It's not just saving images, they're costing us a whole menu of options we need. print, view page source... "open link in new tab" was a huge loss for me. So I researched around and found extensions so I still have my right click menu. let me see if I have that link around here in my toy box. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pumpkin-right-click-enabl/linjodakmnamlieknafoiphnckgbaeab?hl=en-US

screenshots are so much more work that right-click, ya know?

thank you so much. yeah I read the editors note, yeah, I think you're right. oh well. I really liked the story, how bout you?

I think it's too difficult to enjoy the story except for the part where Woo min says it was fun to take advantage of Hae in when he was drunk. Remove any element and you doom the entire story to oblivion. After all, Hae in clearly states that if not for this one drunken-sex moment, he will never have the courage to say the words to Woo min. Never means never.

lol
i mean i think it's completely ok for two teams to work on the same manga, it's not yours after all
but that sounds a bit... wouldn't it be easier if that person just joined you to help you with it?

if you are starting to become unmotivated, i can tell you that the people that read your translations don't have tumblr and are very appreciative of you. of course, this manga does deserve higher popularity.

Well, not everyone has a tumblr. Personally I wish I can read it here bc it's more comfortable and easy and I think I'm not the only one. I'll be cheering for your updates and thank you for your hard work!ヾ(☆▽☆)

I don't have a tumblr acount, and i don't want one. I really appreciete your updates. I have been waiting for this manga for so long. Please, don't drop it!

Def would be reading here. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

We support you!

that was our exact question. we got no response

ty arianna

thank you

I think it's sad when two teams accidentally translate the same manga when there's so many that people are dying to see translated. It must be an awful feeling for the translators to discover the duplication, too

tank you, toki! and thank everyone for the nice comments!

Don't worry. I've already finished translating all available chapters (through 22), so it's only a matter of time before you'll get to read the rest!

Thank you for your support, everyone!
