i think you mean わたし (watashi) instead of あたし(atashi) ?

[Guest dr jung]

atashi is a step down from watashi. less formal. like ore is less formal than boku.

Hey soompiers! I need help in translating this:

ありがとう、グロリアさん。

貴方は僕に教えますね～

でも、ごめんなさい・・・ちょっと忘れちゃった。

じゃぁ、またすぐね。

I only got that first line down..but I don't know what the rest is saying!

aargh! kanji. all I can read is hiragana. All I got down was :

1. arigatou, gloria san. (thanks , gloria)

2.

3. demo, gomen nasai...chotto wasurechatta. ( but, I'm sorry, I kind of forgot)

4. jaa, mata sugu ne. (well then, until next time, ok?..)

, and thanks to whoever corrected my romaji earlier for "kiite". I'm not really great with romaji either, so I hesited over kiite and kitte.

[Guest BabyK]

Hey Ladies! Umm... What does this say? o_o

私は実際に試みているものを知らない言うことをか。

[Jaysca101]

^

貴方は僕に教えますね～

Anata wa boku ni oshiemasu ne~

It means "You teach me ok?"

[Guest BabyK]

^Really? That's the WHOLE thing? o_o

[Guest calcifer]

^Really? That's the WHOLE thing? o_o

LOL

yes yes as Psychotic Otaku said,

貴方は僕に教えますね～

atanawa boku ni oshiemasune

you teach me, ok?

boku=me and he is a boy.

it somehow doesn't sound like a natural Japanese though~~

[Tamago86]

^Really? That's the WHOLE thing? o_o

no no no

otaku wasn't talking to you, he was quoting what imuhhater wrote not what you wrote

you wrote "私は実際に試みているものを知らない言うことをか。"

which I think means something like 'I'm saying I don't know what I'm actually trying to do'

might not have been a real speaker of Japanese who wrote it...

[Guest BabyK]

^Ohhh okay! Ehh maybe the person just sucks at speaking/typing japanese XD

[Guest Snow<3]

kunyomi is the japanese reading

onyomi is the chinese reading

Example:

一二三四

onyomi: ichi, ni, san, shi

kunyomi: hito, futa, mitsu, yotsu

From the site http://japanese.about.com/blkod16.htm for example it said :

kiniro golden color

genkin cash

kinyoubi Friday

okane money

How would you know if it suppose to say kin, kon or kane, kana ~, ~ gane o_o. Like for money can you say okin instead of okane >.>?How would you know how to read it or is it all memorizing ? *im new to japanese xD*

[Guest Debussy]

Snow<3, on reading is only used when there are two kanji's are next to each other, or compounded.

this site is helpful. I'm learning kanji from there. It tells you more in depth in an easy to understand way when to use "on" and "kun" readings.

[Guest luzCONTROL_7]

My friend is in Tokyo and I told her to visit the Paris Kids store.. but we don't understand the adress. XDD

From what I'm guessing... it's on the first floor of blabla family building?

You take the train to JR山手線原宿駅下車 something

and then you walk about 2 minutes (２分) and 竹下口より徒歩 blabla something...

XD

Thanks ALOT to anyone who can help me<3<3

edit: OOOH sry I'm stupid I didn't think of online translator.

JR Yamanote Line Harajuku Station getting off

It is 2 minutes on foot from Takeshitacti.

Harajuku Family Building 1F

Is this correct?

[Guest sagejin.]

貴方は僕に教えますね～

and all i got is this..

Don't you think? you teach to me, the ~

honestly, you just have to memorize it. Like if you know what genkin looks like in kanji and you know genkin means cash,...there's no way you'll read it as "genkane" or something like that.

there are a lot of exceptions (such as japanese names) so you will have to memorize a fair amount, but other than that the rules for reading on and kun are fairly constant... when a part of or attached to hiragana the kun reading is usually used, so if something follows hiragana 'o' then it will most likely use the kun reading, that's why it's okane instead of okin, and omizu instead of osui. This is also true for verbs, like for 'taberu' 食べる (to eat), 'ta' would be written in kanji and 'beru' would be in hiragana but it wouldn't be pronounced shokuberu (the on reading) or something, it's pronounced taberu because the hiragana is attached to the character. genkin is a compound (consisting of gen and kin), and in compounds the on reading is usually used, etc..

[Guest rikuu]

kanjisite really helps. i'm learning so much from it!
