English To Japanese Questions

gaijinmark wrote: Well, as long as they know you're joking. IIRC, I had a conversation with kokuou about this awhile back, and kokuou said "urusai" is preferred over "damaru"

damaru....is that something that would be serious???

damaru is seen as more rude because its really direct, it literally means to shut up. While urusai means irritating, annoying which indirectly would mean to shut up, to stop with it..

pls help me translate this to japanese

important is "juyo" -@d—v@and more would be "moto" so I guess, moto juyo might be what your looking for[/list:u]

Well, I think it depends on in what context you want to use that. As a phrase at the beginning of a sentence to express that its more important than the former sentence, like in: "more importantly, I've got something to discuss with you." would just work with something like "Sore yori, hanashi ga aru."

As for ‚à‚Á‚Əd—v. I can't think of a situation where it could be translated as "more importantly", but someone correct me if I'm wrong. :confused:
