Sentences from the Tatoeba Corpus project using the word in context.
The Japanese sentence, the sentence analysis, and the English translation are always included. Using the sentence analysis is possible to learn how the sentence is constructed and every single word can be examined one by one.
In some cases translation to other languages can also be included. The quality of the translations may vary, and it's included for reference only.
It's also possible to hear a computer generated transcription of the Japanese sentence by clicking the speaker icon
Warning about the quality of the sentences
All the sentences are imported from the Tatoeba project, a collaborative database of sentences and translations maintained by thousands of members. Also, most of the Japanese sentences were imported from the Tanaka Corpus. These were created by students as part of a project and in some cases they were not supervised by a teacher. That's the reason why the quality of the sentences may be inconsistent, and they may not sound natural sometimes.
Although there are many good examples too, as a general rule, as a general guide don't trust too much in the quality of the sentence.
If you have enough knowledge and want to improve the quality of an example, I encourage you to click on the open in tatoeba link and register to Tatoeba to update it.
