Seems like Dan Brown has found his new subject.

I knew it was Japanese! This is pretty amazing isn't it? The sentence structure came out of no where... I find this VERY cool. :) Edited by datsunking1 on 14 February 2010 at 12:05am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Wow, perfect Japanese sentences, but how could those sentences come into dreams of a retiring Ukrainean? What is more mysterious is that you wrote sentences in perfect Romaji, the standard romanization of Japanese, but how could you spell them in that perfect Romaji just by hearing them in dream? You did not even know what you have heard in dream were Japanese?

So this angelical language is human after all, I feel disappointed.
On the other hand I'm rather surprised, I didn't know my younger sister spoke Japanese. She would always be reading dusty think books, and we would always tease her she'd become another Lena (our local librarian, an old spinster, fat and ugly, and very strict, we all feared her). It was physics my sister was after, not languages. Mr. Eric Spinelli, thank you very much for your kind explanation. I don't understand one thing, however. Why did you write what my sister said in Chinese? Do they speak Chinese in Japan, too? If it is Chinese, I would have to reconsider my retirement. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Sure.
I didn't.
No, but they used to write it. And thanks to that, we've got what we've got today. Take a look. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Mr. Spinelli,
thank you very much for you kind letter once more. I read some articles you magnanimously linked to, and - if I understand it correctly (my English is rather shaky, or wobbly would be a better word) - they speak Japanese in Japan all right, but they do not know how to spell what they speak and they use Chinese for that. I must say it's very poetic. That exactly what my sister would do - she was always translating everything into physics, even the simplest phenomena, like why the wind is blowing or why the sun is shining. Now I understand why she chose to speak Japanese to me, just to make my life more poetic, I'd say. So, I suppose, Japan must be inhabited by poets everywhere you go. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Fantastic dreams, Adam Smith! (BTW, what a famous name!)
You make me believe in prophetic dreams, Chronicles of Akashi, the doctrine of Maya and suchlike things. It’s really incredible and sounds like a sign! If I were in you shoes I’d rather start learning Japanese right now. Don't let things get you down. Otherwise wicked men could think you just copied and pasted these really magic sentences from a book to make some fun. (I’m sorry to mention this.) Good luck with you thrilling experiment! PS: Don’t forget to update your progress here, please. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
