Oh yes, there are a number of faux amis (I don't know Japanese, but I've been told about that). There is also the word "no" which it's a negation in English, Spanish and many other languages while it means something like "of" in Japanese.
Yes, "no" in Japanese is used as a possessive.  For example, "Watashi no hon" would mean "book of mine" or "my book".

Yep, I remember when I had French and English in the same days. Luckily I had half an hour inbetweem, which I used for read something in Spanish, so not to get blocked. At least, Japanese and Spanish had a similar pronunciation, so that is something.
Yes, that makes it easier, though sometimes you get words like "manga".  In Spanish, it means "sleeve", and in Japanese, it refers to the comics.

On a side note, I just got into AVID~!  I'll be enrolled in that class in my junior year~.

Totally unrelated (I know, right), but since my Soph year started I've been taking two languages, and it's very fun.  Except on Wednesdays, when I've got Japanese then Spanish.  On normal days, I have English between the two.  Block days drive me nuts sometimes.

Ok, that's good to know.  I'm new to this, and I think that I'd prefer to write a fantasy romance type thing story ness terminology thing if I wanted to write something longer.  I did start one once, but I lost my thumb drive and I'm a bit apprehensive about starting over...

Author Craft / Sci-Fi Short Story or Full-Blown Novella?
« on: July 31, 2014, 04:05:02 PM »
Hey, glad to be back.  Anyways, I have an important set of questions, and I think I trust you guys enough to ask.
I've written a short story, with 3638 words in the word count.  The setting is dystopian, and there are three characters that could be described as "main characters".
What I want to know is this:
What paper publications would be willing to accept a science fiction short story?  I'm sure some of you know that I don't get out much, and to be entirely honest, the only magazines I read are food magazines.
Is 3638 words too long for a short story?
According to you guys, what are the benefits of writing a novella compared to the benefits of writing a short story?
Thanks,
    Shinihime

OK.  Now I don my beret.  Never face the internet without a good hat.

Not nessesarily, but it will mean you managed to learn a lot of stuff that was useful in other ways :)
So... does that mean that the things i learned that didn't keep me alive had nothing to do with survival, or does it mean that I ought to study self-defense, eating dirt, and camouflage?

Bah, "educated" is just a matter of outlook.   Keep learning new stuff until you die, and you will be better off than most no matter how many years you've been at it.
So, when I die, does that mean that I didn't learn something that would have kept me from getting killed?

I am in high school.  Probably one of the youngest users on the forum.  And the least educated.  :'(

Harry ate a ghost once.  Kravos.
Harry also died twice.
Bob is harder on his books than Harry is on his.
