This. I understand how weird it is to encounter another language doing stuff with a word that came from yours (English does this with Italian too-- why call it a "pizza pie" when the "round, covered in toppings and cut into slices" is already part of the meaning of "pizza") but this is just how language works especially with borrowing.

There are meanings that develop attached to a word when it gets borrowed that do not translate back to the original. Virtuoso means something more specific in English ("a person very skilled specifically in the arts") than in Italian (where it's just an adjective meaning "full of virtue/talent"). That's because it became an English word as part of opera music discourse, where Italy was historically extremely influential.

In Japanese, "arubaito" (specifically a part-time gig) is borrowed from German "arbeit" (a generic word for work). Guess who they got the concept from.

Chai is a shortening of "masala chai" specifically. It's used in Italian too, though I guess we borrowed it from Anglophone culture rather than from its direct source. Some places do call it "masala chai", but it just gets reduced to "chai" because the generic word for tea is "tè" and the only context you'll ever see "chai" in is the cinnamony milky beverage so it's kind of superfluous to have to use two words.

Again, this is just how language works. Yours does the same thing when you get down to it and study how it borrows words from others, I guarantee. I find it charming personally-- it's a way to trace the history of the concepts words refer to, kept safe inside the word itself.

settle this for me once and for all

is “chai” a TYPE of tea??! bc in Hindi/Urdu, the word chai just means tea

[nastory]

Mulai besok, setiap minggu udh nggak libur lagi. Tapi harus arubaito. Yasss semangat cari cuaaaaaan

[asexual-levia-tan]

so here's something i just went over on busuu!

パート = "part" as in "part time job"

アルバイト = "arubaito" as in the :D JOBS the boys have in obm

oh, fun fact. mams job completion line is "baito owattazo" (in nb i think) and my mom this entire time has been thinking he was saying something about biden???

September 13

Hey, remember six months ago where I said things weren’t dire? Well…they’re not QUITE dire yet but I’d like to avoid getting to that point.

I’m still living in Japan but things largely haven’t gone the way I thought they would: my apartment wasn’t ready when I got over here and it took two months for me to move into, so I had to stay in a sharehouse which was an additional money sink; Delta damaged my bags on top of significantly delaying my flight from the States; the initial fees to actually MOVE into the apartment were kinda a bitch; finding a part-time has been difficult because of my health restrictions and the language barrier; and I caught COVID in June which has made the long COVID I already had worse and job hunting even harder.

Right now I’m about to pay the rest of my next six months of school tuition…and my rent, which I’m two weeks behind on. Over here you have a longer grace period re: rent before they come a-knocking but I don’t want to be that gaijin that makes trouble all the time. I still get monthly Social Security but the recent appreciation of the yen caught me like a deer in headlights. NO, I’m not asking for donations to pay my whole rent, but like…whatever I can get at this point would be welcome lmfao

‘Cause if I were to leave at this point I would be grossly underprepared and let’s face it, school’s about the only thing going well for me right now.

{AND FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO BE SMART: a lot of the arubaito that you typically hear about foreigners getting tend to have a ceiling of JLPT N3 [I don't take the N4 exam until December] and/or require prolonged hours on your feet, when I have osteoporosis and have to take frequent breaks [how do you think I got Social Security in the first place?]. I've signed up on a couple of English tutoring sites but so far...not really getting any bites)

(also very sorry to my moots and followers but...you may be seeing a LOT of this post)

So those of you who have been following me may have noticed that I all but disappeared for about three months...well, that's because I've been planning to go to Japanese language school, and the wheels have really begun to start turning!!!!!!

I have been given the opportunity of my lifetime to be able to attend a Japanese language course at the International Study Institute in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward. The course runs for a year, with the opportunity to extend it to two years, if my grades and money are sound [insert sound of children cheering here].

Being able to study Japanese locally and long-term has been a life goal of mine since I was fourteen. Though I'll probably never be able to fulfill my teenage dream of being an interpreter/translator for expats, this feels like the next best thing. Due to suffering from several comorbid chronic conditions that have majorly altered my life, most notably the beast known as systemic lupus erythematosus, I will probably never be able to seize another chance like this ever again. I won't be going in as a total novice, as I was able to take a year's worth of 1000-level Japanese language courses in college…before I had to drop out…… Since then I've been self-studying and using language exchange apps for practice, but nothing will beat the experience of using it in the day-to-day.

At this point in time (January 2024), my first six months of tuition have already been paid for. I am currently in a quiet waiting period while I wait to get to the next steps of the Certificate of Eligibility/Student Visa process. Before that, though, I need to secure my flight and housing. For the sake of my health, safety, privacy and comfort, a sharehouse will not be an option; I will have to seek a private apartment. I am here today to request assistance with the aforementioned flight and initial housing costs. It's still too early to commit to either of those, but:

The average cost of flexible one-way flights from where I am to either of the two Tokyo metro airports (Haneda and Narita) is running around $1200

I am doing some preliminary apartment scouting and am hoping not to exceed $800 per month (I will be traveling with suitcases and will need to properly store them). The apartments I am looking at do not require a security deposit or key money, but will probably come with a guarantor fee.

Now because I'm not going over there through one of the more common avenues - through a university or a job - I have to do it myself. Real life has meant that I've had to dig into my bank balance a bit, and after paying for the first six months I'm a little under the 2 million yen (~$14k) threshold that Immigration likes to see for a year's study. I'm lucky enough in that I will at least have a regular source of (unearned) income, as well as a financial sponsor; it's just the bank balance, flight, and accommodation that are hanging me up. Right now I am setting the initial goal at $3000, but I expect to move those goalposts at least once. Any extra will go towards a flight home for the Christmas holidays in December. After that, it'll go towards paying down my credit cards as much as I can prior to leaving the United States.

I can provide my conditional letter of acceptance from ISI, as well as the school invoice and receipt of the bank transfer for the first six months of tuition upon request (identifying information redacted, of course).

Because there's still a couple of months until I'm set to fly out I put together a GoFundMe (now that's a name I haven't used in a while) to idly collect whatever help I can. At the very least I just need this post to circulate enough to eventually cast a wider net outside of Tungle.hell.

Again: I'm not in that much of a hurry, and the situation isn't dire! Thank you for combing my wall of text!!!!

adding to the list of fun examples sentences I've concocted in Japanese class:

"むしになった時、アルバイトをしなくてもいいです。"

(mushi ni nattatoki, arubaito o shinakute mo iidesu)

Roughly: "When you have become a bug, it is okay not to go to your part-time job."

Di depan semua, dia terkenal sebagai orang yang jenius, cerdas, yang penelitiannya bisa tembus ke jurnal mana mana(?)

Tapi di belakang, beuhhh...

Arubaito, sometimes shortened to baito, is the word for a part time job. You know, Arbeit.

I just realised アルバイト is GERMAN
