I asked my japanese teacher about the book. She said it's called Dragon's house. And the book is a children's book. She herself had also read it when she was little.
Now I'm going to go to buy myslef a better dictionary so that I can try to read that book...

When I watch Naruto, I always hear Naruto saying some sort of word sounding like "tebayo"...
I have no idea what it means because it's almost in every irrelevant sentence he says. What does it mean? I hope you know what I'm talking about

MistuhFieryCat When I watch Naruto, I always hear Naruto saying some sort of word sounding like "tebayo"... I have no idea what it means because it's almost in every irrelevant sentence he says. What does it mean? I hope you know what I'm talking about "-tte ba yo," as I understand, is a shuujoshi (or terminal particle) that indicates the speaker's sterness or impatience, such as saying "Shut up!" as compared to "Shut up already!"This aspect of Naruto's unique speech ender has been roughly (and badly >_>) integrated into the English-translated version as him saying "Believe it!" after everything he says. It exudes sterness, but saying "Believe it!" all the time is pretty annoying...(#-_-)

I was wondering... Since when I go to Japan this summer, I'll be going on all sorts of trains and subways and such, and there are many exits all over the place for some of them, how do you say/count exits? Like, I don't know how to say things like "where is exit 3" and "which exit is closest to blahblah"... and I should probably learn. So can anybody help with that? And also, are there any other specific phrases I should know for using the subway system?

@Ame_no_Hotaru: Are you going to be in Tokyo? If so, most of the stations should have their names written in hiragana, so it's not too hard to find your way around. Tokyo's got a lot of English around too - foreigner friendly, which is more than can be said once you get out of the big city. Be sure to carry a train map with you! As for the phrases you wanted...
"Where is exit #3?": Sanban no deguchi wa doko desu ka?
"Which exit is closest to X?": X no ichiban chikai deguchi wa dochira desu ka?
@Holmol: 'Kimi' means 'you'. Guys use it when talking to girls, and older people can use it when talking to younger people. It's pretty informal.
@x_animefreak_x: Ugh, there's no exact translation for 'desu'. It kind of can be either 'be' or 'will be'... Actually, I saw a little thread in this vert subforum on the subject, so perhaps you should check up on that.

ashlyn62442 i have heard this sentance somewhere.. but i don't know what it means but i say it all the time... its' doushitakaan deshitaka ..??? what does that mean.. i know that dou.. is how and deshitaka is asking about a past tense ..something confused confused confused can u help..onegaishimasu Not sure what you're trying to say but it looks a little mixed up ^^ You were right about the 'deshita ka'; it's posing a question in formal past tense. I think the question you're trying to ask is 'doushitandesu ka' which basically means "what's the matter?" or sometimes "what's happening?" and can have an gently questioning or urgent nuance depending on your tone of voice. 'Doushita' is more something you would say in present tense so you probably don't have to conjugate to 'deshita'. Hope that helped 3nodding

Freakezette Moon Light Ninja I hear many times "gomen" and "gomenasai". I know it means "sorry" but is there a specific moment you can use one of them? In general the longer a japanese word it the more polite it is, so gomennasai is a more polite way of saying "gomen," you would use gomennsai with people who are "above" you, teachers and such, or people you don't know well. actually, for unfimilair people or above you people you use "sumimasen" gomenasai is slightly politer, but still not for people above you
