tamago86 thanks for replying!

oh yeah, another qn. does it make sense? my sis likes to play the piano but truthfully, she's cant play it well. 姉はピアノが大好きですが、実はあまりひきません。

[Guest jaeka]

"jitsu wa, amari hikimasen"

means "she doesn't play much"

I have a few ideas of what I would say, but I'm not sure if they're gramatically correct. >___< or they may be better alternatives, but I'll try them:

"jitsu wa, piano wo hiku no wa jouzu de wa arimasen" (or would you use koto?)

"jitsu wa, amari piano wo hiku koto ga dekimasen"

i haven't spoke/thought/used japanese in about a week, and look what happens. O__O

[Guest meimei__KOUSEKI]

please write in japanese. i'm still a failure at it =___=

"hi kanon, what do you use to color your artwork? it's really pretty"

and yeah, formally please...and thank you ^^;

[Guest plumplum]

jaeka,

You can use koto or no, it's just that koto is a bit more formal.

Also, your last sentence means more like, "Actually, she can't play piano." Like, she does not know how. The first one makes more sense.

努力しなくて ごめんなさい

^ Can anybody translate that for me?

[Guest hellobby]

助けて means "help me", right? Can't find my dictionary, lol, sorry.

努力しなくて ごめんなさい

I think it means, 'sorry for not doing my best' (I think)

助けて means "help me", right? Can't find my dictionary, lol, sorry.

yea, I think it says help me

and would anyone like to explain しょうゆこと that Jaejoong has been saying? I don't get it XD

[Guest heart143]

yup! that basically means "sorry for not putting in my best effort."

and yes that is "HELP (me)"

and do you mean そういうこと？

because しょうゆ is soy sauce... haha*

I really like you. I want to see you and I feel like I'm going to die. I wish. Even if it's only once. Meet me.

(It doesn't sound like native Japanese, though.)

haha it sounds so dramatic ^^;

the translation is perfect but instead of "I wish" it's more like "I beg you."

go here http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C

type in 'umami' after where it says Keyword: and click the blue play icon to hear it pronounced

umami/umai is used to mean something tastes good just like oishii. you can say either umai or oishii

Just to note (and maybe ask?),

なた should be あなた

I`ve never heard nata.. for anata.

「なた」という聴いたことがありません。ｗ

[Heroine]

^ yea I haven't heard of なた for あなた either. I've heard of あんた though.
