君 ?

[SHAD0W]

I don't read much text thats been translated to English, but when I've seen bits, only "???-san" has ever been either preserved or changed to "Mr.???".

Other suffixes such as chan have been omitted.

When speaking informally, you can drop だ often in this situation. I would if I were asking something like this of my friends. If a friend of mine, Yoshino, invited me to a big New Years Eve event her father got her tickets for but didn't tell me what it was at first, I'd immediately ask 紅白なの？ (紅白歌合戦 is the name of a very famous end-of-year "concert".)

And what's a "blob"?

LMAO in my head I was typing blog....but it seems my fingers didn't follow my little brain comands

Well you answered one of my long time questions lol. I had always wondered why I would find informal phrases ending in のか when の shows questions. I didn't know it also shows a non-question phrase.
Thank you. I didn't know you can actually finish the phrase with a noun, I thought only with i-adjectives or verbs (or various particles). So can you also drop it in the form のだ? I don't know, something like ...魚んだ instead of ...魚なんだ?

I've seen this sort of thing a lot in bad fansubs and game rom translation hacks. one-chan, -chan, -san, etc.

99% sure that you can't say 魚んだ. With nouns you have to have the なんだ.

んだ＝のだ They are the same thing, just one is a contraction.

I find another thing that finish with "No"
but I don't know if it's the same rule of the example before...

十字架その？

is it a cross?
what cross is it?

Mean this?

Where are you finding these phrases?

Just like クリスマスライブの, 十字架その makes no sense whatsoever.

Whatever you're reading won't help you learn Japanese much.

[munzy]

I read these things in a blog of a japanese person

I know there's few context, because usually there's pictures and then little comments or title like this... the complete blog entry is:

十字架その？
テーマ：ブログ

何番まで紹介したんだったかな？

---
I know is not the best way to learn japanese, I'm studing also from grammar books, but at the same time, I 'm following the blog of this person everyday, that's why I need to translate these sort of things ;_;

[Nagoyankee]

I understand your situation. But 十字架その makes no sense no matter what the context is.

I'm a native speaker if you didn't know. We just never say "noun + その" in any situation.
