It's not my fault you'll have to end every sentence with desu.

That's just cruel.

"Nihongo wa sugoi desu!", though my reading might be wrong.

Anyway, in.
If this round goes anything like the last one, I suspect crazy antics will ensue.

I got "Japanese are amazing!", although I have a feeling Google Translate might just be messing around.

Wait, since you just said that, ToonyMan, will that not make me a Confirmed Suiseiseki?

ぼくはかんじが好きじゃない。。。
そして、このすいせういせきのいみは何だの。分かりません。

woo! go japanese! knew itd be useful someday
also, tentative in.

[Leafsnail]

I do not like the Kanji. . .
And this is taboo for a cough but nothing Suise Ui. I do not know.

Damnit, I need to ask someone for help in this.  Cambridge is full of Japanese people...

[Vector]

It means

"I don't like kanji.  Who is this 'Suiseiseki' person, anyway?  I don't understand."

He misspelled suiseiseki and wrote suiseuiseki instead.

AAAAAHHHHHHH! CRAZY JAPAN IS POLUTING MY MIND!

I wrote up a post explaining an approximate translation, but while I was referencing a kanji dictionary it appears as though Vector has already responded.
— I was off by a bit anyways.
Vector, are you taking Japanese classes perchance?
I've spent some time memorizing Hiragana and the like, as well as vocabulary and grammar, but it still takes me ages to translate anything.

I took some classes in high school, but they were pretty (read: really) lousy.  Only 5 people in the AP class took the exam, and of those the only other student who had neither experience with Chinese nor native proficiency got a 1.  Mostly I self-study, though I haven't studied Japanese for about a year and a half or so, now.

As far as translation goes, I've taught myself to think in Japanese, so it isn't very hard.  You just have to find the English to go along with the concept the Japanese identified in your mind.

Sounds like a pretty nifty ability, Vector.  Probably the mark of a born linguist.

[Vector]

... What the hell, board.

Oh, well.  I guess I'll just say "thank you" here.

[JanusTwoface]

Just for reference, don't trust Google Translate for anything more than a few words... It's sense of grammar is strange at best. 

ToonyMan, do you have any idea for when you plan on starting?  Not in any particular hurry, just curious.

We have 11 players.  I need 12 if I want my 3 mafia roles I made up in there.
