Step by Step Japanese translation lesson

Gyara de kotowararete shimatta n desu

Gyara - guarantee
de - at (occurrence at, where the action takes place - particle)
kotowaru - to reject, refuse, decline, dismiss

Now we take the verb of the sentence kotowaru and say that this verb was done unto me with the verb kotowaru in Base I + reru so that adding the polite desu to a compounded grammar of
base I + reru + shimau
kotowarareru or the in base TE to form the extension to the completely verb grammar of shimau in past tense or shimatta so that we have

kotowararete + shimatta + no desu.

In the past tense, the Japanes verb shimau becomes shimatta using the TA form
Shimmatta n' desu is an abbreviation of shimmatta no desu which makes it an emphatic. " ...has been completely done unto me"

Here are my translations:

1. Due to the guarantee, I have been (utterly) completely refused

2. I was denied by the guarantee.

It has been completely determined by the guarantee for me. Which sorta sucks.

The "sorta suck" part, is in the "shimatta n desu" part because it leaves a negative impression that it wasn't a good thing and that it was utterly done to me (bad thing)

The grammar pattern that we can extract for future use is for this phrase,"
I have been completely verbed upon

On African Americans in Japan - The Shock Factor

Here is a question about racism in Japan, and here are the way. Are Japanese People racist against black people? I plan to go to Japan, so I want to know. I don't want to have a bad time you know (Please - I don't want to offend any Japanese people so I am sorry If I offend anyone of you.)

The Japanese are not racist in general. All Japanese people are not racist like the kkk would be in America. They pretty much are a changed nation since they got atomicized in two of their major cities. The thing is, is that kokujin are rare, extremely rare in Japan, and you may be looked at as an oddity, or rarity. You are for sure going to get special care because you are so rare. They will marvel at you. For in Japan you guys aren't born there naturally. Even me a white guy from america is pretty rare so I was always looked upon in amazement because my nose is so tall, and my eyes are so round, and I am generally taller because I ate more potatoes than rice and fruit loops than miso soup etc.

Gaijin as a whole are stereotyped and are poked fun of usually but it is all in jest with no serious racial prejudices against anybody. Gaijin is any foreigner that is not Japanese. Kokujin is the rare type of gaijin that has different features yet so they are going to be shocked.

If you plan on going to Japan and you are an African American be prepared to shock the Japanese people. You are basically going to shock at least a few people that you will come across. But the Japanese people are a modern peaceful nation, some of the Japanese may have never seen kokujin so they are naturally going to be shocked that there are other types of the same brothers of the human race than they.

Take heart you are going to love their treatment of you, you are rare, so live it up and soak all that extra attention in without getting upset because you like me are still just gaijin and xenophobia does exist that is my words for you.
