i chose the username yuukikonnobot yuuki and yuukikonno were taken, but i did this so that my opponent would know it was me, so this is not considered a "loser."

started playing against humans in shogi wars to test my shogi skills i set my opponent's strength to "a bit weak" so i'm guaranteed to win, but my goal is to play the same moves as YaneuraOu + Suisho

将棋ウォーズ

Since my name is Yuuki Konno, I guess I should follow the Sword Art Online stans.

An image search for 金野裕希 does not turn up any pictures of me, so I'll post a bunch of pictures of 金野裕希 here.

I took this picture when we picked up my brother at the station. I rotated 360 degrees and took 100 shots and kept the good one.

On Aug 27, I went with my family to the Ōmagari Fireworks Festival in Daisen, Akita. It was raining heavily. I was impressed by the use of Air's Natsukage by Jun Maeda in Shinshu Enka Kogyo's fireworks. youtu.be/ZSYAG7opM_c

byf = before you follow dni = do not interact I learned. There are no corresponding acronyms in Jpn.

In Japan, many people also use prfmaker.com, which allows users to create profile cards without an image editor.

Many people use carrd.co and linktr.ee. In Japan, lit.link is the latest fad. Historically, twpf.jp has been the industry standard and is still used by many.

Eng Dub/Sub is also on YouTube. I also watched his commentaries on Spirited Away, Laputa, Ponyo, Totoro, and Crayon Shin-chan's Adult Empire. Dunno if his interpretations are correct, but they were novel.

On Sep 19, I saw this clipping of Toshio Okada's commentary on Grave of the Fireflies. This was an eye-opener for me. I first saw this movie over 17 years ago, but I was completely unaware of its meaning.

Conclusion: Unclear. One theory is that 言う is polysemous while 呼ぶ is narrower, so the latter may have a slightly stronger meaning.

This addresses a different issue. I think the answer and comment on it are correct. The second sentence is incorrect though. It should be 君をアホと呼ぶ without the だ.

difference between 呼ぶ and 言う:

What would you say is the difference between: 君にアホだと言う And 君をアホだと呼ぶ I saw there are some similar questions about this topic, but I think none answers this especific matter. Thanks

japanese.stackexchange.com

Answer. I think this misses the point. Sure, 呼ぶ is used more when it comes to people's names, but they doesn't say anything about what difference is there when describing a concept.

What is the difference between 〜と呼ぶ and 〜という?

Both 〜と呼ぶ and 〜という can be translated as “to call...”. Examples of 〜と呼ぶ. Examples of 〜という. So, for situations where something is given a name, what's the difference between the two?

The fact that "をきつねうどんと呼ぶ" has more hits than "をきつねうどんと言う" seems to support my theory.

OTOH, I feel と呼ぶ fits better to describe concrete concepts. E.g., 油揚げが乗ったうどんをきつねうどんと呼ぶ。 (Udon with deep-fried tofu on top is called kitsune udon.) One could argue that という is "weak" here. No real difference, though.

Wikipedia:表記ガイド - Wikipedia

On Twitter, however, it is sometimes easier to recognize word breaks by using kanji for such verbs, etc. Modern people tend to be unaware of such distinctions, as they type according to the keyboard app's conversion candidates.

The use of the hiragana という here instead of と言う is described in the Japanese Wikipedia's manual of style. >動詞のうち、本来の意味がほとんど失われているもの "Verbs whose original meaning is almost lost [should be written in hiragana]"

ja.wikipedia.org

One thing came to my mind is という may be used more to describe abstract concepts. E.g., 3つの辺を持つ多角形を三角形という。 (A polygon with three sides is called a triangle.) Here と呼ぶ is also perfectly fine, but may be "excessive", although the difference is slight.

Literally, と言う may correspond to "said to be" and と呼ぶ to "called", but the nuance could not be so. It could be the opposite, for example.

Someone tweeted "what is the difference between と言う and と呼ぶ" and I found it difficult. I thought it was similar to the difference between "is said to be", "is called", "is referred to as", etc. in English.

I don't like people who arrogantly claim to "teach" a language to you just because they are a native speaker. Of course they don't necessarily have a deep understanding of the language. I would rather learn Japanese by reading tweets by Japanese language learners.

I know that not everyone I followed was a Japanese language learner, but I followed nonetheless.

Just followed more people by searching for #langtwt OR #studytwt "studying" OR "learning" "japanese". I never learn any language, though.

Ate. Tuna mayonnaise, raw egg over brown rice, and vinegared onion, okra, and wakame. Not too bad.

I had Lotte's Nama Choco Pie "Made with Plenty of Cream 350%" on September 13th since it was almost Halloween. It was very thick, like a Big Mac. It tasted more like a chocolate cake than a choco pie. I would like to buy 24 of them.

It seems that "tdm" refers to an app called "todo mate". I downloaded it immediately, although I do not use it. This is still completely unknown in Japan.

I feel as if I were John Mung.

Apparently moots = mutuals. I believe they are called sōgo (相互, lit. "mutual") or FF (short for "following and followers") in tsunagaritai (繋がりたい, lit. "want to connect") hashtags such as #勉強垢さんと繋がりたい in the Japanese-speaking world.

Apparently there are hashtags #langtwt and #studytwt and there may be many there.

I should follow people who are interested in Pokémon Go, programming, or mathematics, but for now I followed people who might be interested in the Japanese language.

I searched for filter:hashtags "studying japanese" and followed some people for the first time in almost a year since I started this account. I would like to follow more people who can speak English so that people around the world can know of my existence.
