che_hyun Thank you all so much. ^^ I seem to be the stupidest one in this guild, as I am, lately at least, posting a ton of questions. I was listening to a song the other day, and it went 'Oishi momo o futari de' I translated the yummy peach part, and I know futari is like...two people? Yummy peaches for two people? That question has been burning me up inside ever since I heard the song. Is that in the least bit right? Lots of questions only means you really want to learn and make sure it's right. I think in this case you are right, the order is a little unusual, but -de can indicate how many or what group carried out an action (I think in this case "taberu" is implied, probably so it would fit in line with the song.)

Does anyone know what "まいった" means?
I've seen it appear in manga a couple of times. I asked about it once, and the response I got was "I'm impressed", but that translation doesn't always match.
Off Topic: The topic/thread titles in this subforum burns my eyes burning_eyes
Please, avoid typing titles in ALL CAPS, it's quite distracting.

Thanks. Also, I was asked if there was any difference in; "Jaa mata" and Jaa ne," such as, is one more "permanent" than the other?
Unless there is some cultural connotation added onto one of those, they seem to me that they should mean the same thing. I just want to make sure, though.

I think "Jaa ne" is a little less polite that "jaa mata" but they're about the same. "Mata" means again, so it's about equivalent to "see you later"

Hermonie Urameshi I would post some questions, but they're mostly about particles which Aiko san has already said she would teach me when she gets a chance.
Here's one! biggrin I wanna gues what this says.

Oh...and how do you pronounce this:試? (preferably in kana so I don't forget so easily.) 試す＝ためす to try.

I just want to make sure, though. permanent? as good bye forever? that is sayonara mata ne, is a very often use one (and and sore jaa is common, just jaa works, and jaa na/ mata na for masculinity)

How do you count things in Japanese? Not like the counting system, but like in English, we can say 'One book, two books, three books, four books.'
I think I heard it as 'Hitotsu no hon, futatsu no hon', but is that right?
(Haha...and...O.o are those the correct counting numbers for books?)
どうもありがとうございます! Er...is there any Kanji in that when it's written correctly?
But no, really, thanks for helping me out ^^.

Actually you have to use the counter for books. 冊 (satsu) so 1 book is 1冊 （Issatsu）or if you want to be specific and say three magazines (because issatsu just mean 1 book, doesnt mean what kind,) You say： 1冊の雑誌 (issatsu no zasshi) and 2 books is nisatsu
