Eden110 I was wondering: is there a pattern in telling minutes in Japapnese? My sources state: for minutes attach -fun to the standard set of numbers. Yet, some numers have different suffixes. Example- :01 ippun :04 yonpun :09 kyuufun And why does some have the "pun" ending when the directions call it the "fun" ending? yonfun/ichifun/kyuufun are to being saying and sound stupid. in simple term: it just is

Can da be used in place of desu? I'm pretty sure that if it can, then it would be rather informal, huh? I've heard a lot of anime characters using da lately and I was wondering.

che_hyun Can da be used in place of desu? I'm pretty sure that if it can, then it would be rather informal, huh? I've heard a lot of anime characters using da lately and I was wondering. だ is the real です , desu polite saying to much will make ytou sound weird. other forms of desu: da degozaimasu dearu (please remember "the is, am are(to be" doesnt truley exist and can be dropp, will be dropped, and usualy is and is not need thank you, they ae used for a closing feeling, politeness or masculinity (for da) and femininity(for desu) and dearu give literary feeling.)

I've heard that Japanese kids get alot more freedom than we do. In anime you'll see kids going around town by themselves and staying out late. I don't know anybody my age who just leaves their house whenever or comes home at 10pm does the anime stick to real life?

What?! A low crime rate! I want to live in Japan even more now!
AAAH! Yamete! Anata ga watashi korose! (Is that right? 'Ah! Stop! You're killing me!')
How do you say happy and sad in Japanese.
And it would fit into the 'Watashi wa _____ (desu/da)' right?

Happy is ureshii うれしい and sad is kanashii 悲しい They are i-adjectives and work fine with that sentance structure. But keep in mind you're only suppose to use them to describe yourself, if you're talking about other people you would use another structure that literally means "He/she appears to be (emotion)" I always remember kanashii by remembering that if you don't know your kana, you should be sad biggrin

Oh yeah, er...sorry to be 'nag nag nag' but is there a rough translation for 'domo'? I've heard it used in a lot of places...if there isn't a translation, or even if there is, where and how would you use it?
Thankyou~

How do you say 'cheese' in Japanese? *dreamy* It's one of my favorite American...condiments/foods, but I never really heard of any cheese in like anime or anything except in American foods like Cheeseburgers.
Is there no cheese in Traditional Japanese food?! eek
Thank you for being patient with me and for answering my...*counts* billion questions.

Freakezette-san gave me a link to a site with Hiragana Flash cards, and I was going through the first page, memorizing the ones I didn't know, and I came upon this one:
き
The cards say it should be ki but on a Hiragana chart I found, it wasn't even on the list.
Which one is right? I am thoroughly confused @_@
-_- I tried miso soup today and hated it. It smells and tastes horrible! Urgh!
