Why has no one suggested this yet??

Because, it’s not about how much they pay you. It’s about the cost of living in comparison to the wages. I used to get paid 1000 per hr. Won that is, at a coffee shop in Korea over 20 years ago. Back then it was the equivalent of about $1.50 USD. Anyone can jack up wages, but your time and energy will always buy you the same or less. Freedom in money is what needs to be suggested more often, valueless paper is slavery and control.

Look you can tell me your boring economic “facts” all you want

OR you could have a HEART and give me more money.

やる vs. する

nihongokudasai:

Today I will explain the difference between the two verbs yaru (やる) and suru (する), because they both mean “to do”, but are used in certain ways. This tends to confuse people a lot. So without further ado:

する is the common “to do”, and comes after many nouns to turn the noun into a verb (ex. 想像 vs. 想像する, “imagine” vs. “to imagine”). する can be a verb on its own, but in many instances just comes after a noun to turn it into a verb.

やる also means “to do”, and can be used in place of する, but not usually. 

The difference between the two? やる can only be used for physical (active) verbs whilst する can be used for physical and abstract verbs (abstract meaning things that are not physical, like imagining). For example:

ゲームをする – do game: game + do
ゲームをやる – do game: game + do

やる works in this instance because doing (playing) a game is a physical verb that we do with our hands and whatnot.

勉強する – to study: the noun “study” with “to do” after it, turning it into an action verb.
勉強やる – do study: studying is an action suru verb, so using やる would still be correct (just a little bit unnatural).

夢想する – to dream
夢想やる – WRONG!!!!!!!!! dreaming is not a physical verb, therefore やる cannot be used. 

In addition, やる has become a bit of a vulgar word in today’s world as a lot of the time it means “to do”, as in “have sex” (just like the English “do it”). So, when in doubt, just use する、even if it may sound unnatural.
Example: If anyone has ever seen Kill Bill, the subtitles for Gogo Yubari says in one part, “Do you want to fuck me?” to a creepy pervert at a bar. Technically, she says, “Want to do?” – “ やりたい?”, to which the subtitle for the creepy pervert says, “Yes.”, and technically he says “Want to do.” – “ やりたい。” And then Gogo stabs him and laughs maniacally. nbd, just your everyday thing. 

I think the best indicator of whether やる is correct or not is if you can use を at the end of the sentence. If so, you can in many cases use やる and する interchangeably. As a matter of fact, you can use both in the same sentence:
俺は彼を射殺してやる。Ore wa kare o shasatsu shite yaru.
I’m going to shoot him. (lit. I to do shooting him.)
See how “to shoot” is a suru verb?

The most important thing to remember is that やる NEVER comes after an abstract noun-turned-to-verb. It is ONLY used for physical actions of doing (shooting, playing a game, killing, etc.).

There is a lot more to using やる than what is covered in this post, but this is all I’ll cover for now. I hope this has been helpful, and special dedication to pint-sized-slenderchick for bringing up this question. 🙂

無理 and ありえない

similarjapanesewords:

無理 「むり 」and ありえない both have the same meaning of “impossible, can’t do” and are interchangeable in most situations. However, you should keep in mind the slight difference in meaning that can be conveyed.

The best example I gave give is in regards to dating! So let’s say the person you like is out of your league (高嶺の花) and you want to express that dating this person just isn’t possible, they’re too good for you, but your friend asks you if you will date them.

A:その人と付き合うの?

B:無理!

 無理 simply means that it can’t be done, you aren’t able to date this person, 好きな人と付き合うのが出来ない。 


Let’s look at the alternative:

A:その人と付き合うの?

B:ありえない!

If you were to use ありえない you could mean “no it’s impossible” or you could accidentally convey the meaning of “no way!” A very きもい type of feeling. 

*Also small note with the verb 付き合う: 

  1. person と + 付き合う  to date someone
  2. person に + 付き合う  to accompany someone

what’s the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator? The field is something I’m interested in going into since I like the idea of decorating houses and arranging furniture aesthetically

nihononthego:

Heya!

Interior design is a very technical yet very creative field, although there is the decoration element, there is more consideration placed into interior design than interior decoration. I like to think of interior design as one big equation: There are many factors and many solutions but there will be one solution that will suit your clients. All of the factors you consider will result in the final solution. For example, interior designers will be working on a project from beginning to end and will be working with a building shell and its architectural and structural features. They have a good understanding of historical architecture, types of architecture, and design styles.

There is much more consideration placed on different elements. For example, people: Ergonomics: choosing furniture with respect to the human form and size; Light and sound, other environmental factors: for example, how the sun faces, where it falls, where windows are located, how to minimize heat loss, etc. Also, consideration for acoustics and what kind of materials are needed to reduce noise; Lifestyles: how spaces are used, the clients’ culture and preferences. Interior designers also must adhere to specific building and design codes like the Americans with Disabilities Act, Life & Safety Codes, etc.. There is a lot of research and analysis that goes into interior design. You may have volumes of binders dedicated to simply one project. As scary as that may all sound, interior design is very amazing field. Like putting a puzzle together.

Interior decorating involves decorating spaces, and it doesn’t require formal training like interior design. The structural work is already done by the time they get there, and they can either design a whole new look or update an existing interior. Just like an interior designer would do, they choose furnishings, materials, colors, drapery, etc. Unlike interior designers, they typically do not work with architects or contractors, since the work is usually done. Interior decorators usually work on residential projects.

If you choose the interior design route, make sure that you gain the work experience while you’re going to school (that has an accredited CIDA interior design program). Don’t be like me who barely found I was supposed to be working while I was in school!
