Japanese Help Questions/Translations

「選手権にて優勝する」という意味ですよね。

Precisely. It is locational.

No idea where this common "mistake" among us Japanese-speakers comes from. It is too common to ignore and my ears already "accept" it like 80%.

Hello there! I play an international MMO called Final Fantasy XIV and recently there has been a discovery on how to easily beat one of the boss'. It has been posted on youtube by some Japanese players. I went ahead and copied the abilities to try and decipher which ones they used on him. The three images are the same abilities from different times they have fought the boss. A friend of mine said that the one at the very top says "Raiotto Soodo". Any help with the translation of the other two abilites used in the sequence would be greatly appreciated.

Much Love!

Haha, understood. But what I am doing is putting some old Japanese punk bands on YouTube and I like to include the romaji so people that have zero idea about Japanese can have something they can pronounce if they choose to do so.

Thank you for everyone's help!

The second one is not entirely correct to begin with but it sounds almost "correct" because so many people, even including professional announcers, actually use it for the same meaning as the first. It is like a blind spot in the particle world.

Thanks for the help, masaegu and KyleGoetz.

I think from now on, I should start asking my retail-related Japanese questions in this thread.

I just want to check if this is proper （or polite) enough to put on paper for Japanese people to read.

Our company is starting to utilize e-receipts so we are trying to communicate this to Japanese customers about this.

"For the sake of the envioronment, the receipt will be sent to your email."
環境のために、レシートをお客様の電子メールへ送りま す。

Where was the politeness expressed? It sounds so plain. "Plain" can often mean "rude" in retail business for Japanese speakers.

Politeness intended will always show in the verb.　No Exceptions.

レシートを　＞　レシートは

送ります　＞　お送り致します
_______

環境のために　＞　環境保護のため is the usual phrase for this in Japan.

Sorry, I have just a small question to ask: What does 「自分比」 mean? I've been trying to look it up, but to no avail...

Thank you very much in advance.
