Was it from an Okinawan site? I believe "‚ä‚ñ‚½‚" is Okinawan for "chat". So perhaps it is like "Chit Chat Diary".

It's the title of Uehara Takako's new book and she's from Okinawa so yea you're right. Thanks.

Thanks bmwracer for the tip. Just installed it, looks good.

"Kokoro no soko kara" translates to "from the bottom of my heart" in English, so it's: "I love you from the bottom of my heart".

While "tattaima" is an actual word that means "just now," are you sure you're not confusing this with "tadaima"?

In any case, the phrase means, "(Someone) is not nearby at the moment."

HTH,

A friend of mine claims he heard this in a Japanese movie once, and it had been translated to "I love you"

wo ha ni

I'm sure he has missed some vital sounds, but anyone know of something that is similar, and means something in the lines of, sweetie/honey/dear/etc.. ?

'wo ai ni' or someting like that is Chinese for 'I love you' - the only sentence I know in Chinese. :bonk:

sounds chinese to me.

‚¢ - i
‚ë - ro (not sure about this one, ru?)
‚à - mo
‚ñ - n

iromon??!? that doesn't sound right. I might be wrong, because i can't read japanese. I just started learning. :bonk:

Have you tried this site: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html ?

Yeah, wwwjdic has iromono (which is what it should be now that I look at the source again) as read from F•¨, but given the context 'colored clothes' makes no sense. I'd thought it might have some idiomatic meaning. Sanseido also has ŠñÈ‚Ì "variety entertainment" which does make more sense, at least as far as the entertainment factor, so I'll probably read it as that. Thanks anyway!

For Mikari, yeah, in romaji iromon is right! (although for my part I wrote the wrong thing... :bonk: )

What was the context that "iromon" was found in? Entertainment?

I looked up the words and found the following:

‰‘ÌŒ± = first sexual experience (only definition given)

‘å’_ = bold | daring | audacious

”’ = confession | acknowledgement

Does the caption really mean that? Or could ‰‘ÌŒ± mean something else?

Thanks.
