English To Japanese Questions

Yeah... and seeing that even native Japanese are sometimes confused on how to say a specific kanji (like Nakama Yukie in Trick), I don't have any chances. :pout:

That's why I'm concentrating on vocabulary. :mrgreen:

i think trees with rat skins hanging from them might be more effective.

every one has something different to say can someone tell just one simple way to say I LOVE YOU...?

the simplest, most common way is "Anata ga suki desu" = I like/love you (depending on the situation or context)

or "Anata ga aishitemasu" more formal way of saying I LOVE YOU

i always thought it was "aishiteru"

aishiteru is the infinitive form of the verb (to love someone)

ashitemasu is the conjugated form of aishiteru

a lot of times in doramas you here ppl simply using the infinitive form for whatever reason

like this:

do you have bread?

"hai, aru yo"

instead of saying

"hai, arimasu yo"

aru is the infinitive form of the verb and arimasu is the conjugated verb


hope that makes sense.
