The word for "this" is "kore" but it gets a little tricky. If you and a friend are sitting at a table and you're talking about something on your side of the table use "kore". If you're talking about something on your friends side say "sore" ("that") and if you're talking about something on another table away from both of you, say "are" ("that over there") [/list:u]

If you want to indicate the item as well, you use kono, sono, and ano.

This book = Kono hon
That book = Sono hon
That book (over there) = Ano hon

Don't call me that
‚»‚ñ‚È•—‚ɌĂԂȁI

Sonna fuu ni yobu na!

is sound unnatural, but...




usually what I say is

[thing I was called]‚Á‚ČĂԂȁI

[thing called] tte yobu na!



my friend always says "****chin" and I think it is annoying.

so I say it the way I wrote

This might not be grammaticaly correct but the Japanese word for "or" is "soretomo" so I guess you could say Ž€‚»‚ê‚Æ‚àˆ¤. "Shi soretomo Ai"[/list:u]

Or "shi ka ai"

"don't love me for granted" isn't even grammatically correct English, so I have no idea about Japanese ;)

I'm no expert, but from what I've heard dakara means because. For example "Suki dakara" would mean "because I love you".

I don't have anything to back me up on this and I could be totally wrong, but it seems like "kaeri" ‹A‚è is used mostly to mean returning home or going home. [/list:u]

Yeah, I wasn't sure about that. The "returning" part I know for sure, but I couldn't remember if it was specifically returning home or not...
