English To Japanese Questions

Well I do know that it means "cold and wet" but I was just wondering if that is a regionalism or what.

Anybody here from Yamagata-ken? :wave:

Maybe she's just nuts. Yeah that's the ticket...

Otsukaresama deshita: The best example of when you say it is when you are leaving work for the day, and maybe when someone does a difficult work task for you.

Gochisosama deshita: Yep, after you eat a meal ;)

I believe that says, "Can I ask you one quick question."

Actually, more like, "Can I ask you something?" (literally)

True... True....

I never thought about that. But even if he did, he asked us two questions and not one. :nut:

If you want to be a "hick" like me, you can just say "Gochi". :nut:

Hi, my Japanese friend asked me to translate "Be mine" into Japanese. The literal translaton is, Ž„‚Ì•¨‚ª‚ ‚è‚È‚³‚¢ but this is strange. The English has a more subtle meaning to it.

Can anyone help?

Yes, the English way has a more subtle meaning to it because you're taking a directly literal translation into Japanese which makes it sound like "be my thing".



*edit* btw, it's always nice to check if threads about questions exist already.........
GENERAL QUESTIONS ON JAPANESE


Or you could always use the one at the very top that says "PLEASE READ BEFORE CREATING ANY NEW THREADS"

Just in case you didn't know. ;)

Yes, the literal translation is strange, but I can't really get around how we convert "Be mine" into a similar, simpler English phrase.

Your friend wants to say this to a girl, I assume?

Can someone help me translate this phrase to Japanese language? I got the Latin version.

It's a catch phrase in our office. :mrgreen:

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase!?
