Japanese to English Questions

can u help me to translate this to english:

un~ imi wakaranaiyo~

arigatou! :mrgreen:

Random guess : 'I dont understand the meaning'

Imi - meaning. wakaru - understand. ~nai - negative form. yo - its like 'you know?'

Please correct me if I'm wrong..onegaiii :bow:

could also be interpreted as 'it doesn't make sense' depending on the context.

Like chiba and kenjilina said, it can either mean, "I don't understand the meaning" or "it doesn't make sense" [/list:u]

For the first question I don't know how to join two actions together in nai form....

The second one...I don't know if tai desu is part of the ta form or not.

THANKS FOR HELPING!!!

Someone wrote this on my wall, and I have no idea what it says: ‚¨‚Í‚æ‚Á‚·.

Help, please?

It looks like they have stuffed it up to me. The first part looks to be Ohayo, as in ohayo gozaimasu or good morning, but it has the little ‚Á after ‚æ (yo) which indicates a glottal stop or pause in that sound, followed by ‚· (su)
which altogether makes up a word i've never seen before and that ain't in the JDict :)

According to the AltaVista-Babel Fish translator it means:

The ‚Á it does

:confused:

Yeah, I came up with that too, Enna-chan. Makes no sense :crazy:

For a while now, I've been wondering what these expressions mean (but keep foretting to ask them :sweat: ) ..

buru-buru
guru-guru
fuwa-fuwa
shima-shima


They're driving me nuts trying to figure them out.

Its ohayossu..it means good morning same like ohayou (gozaimasu).

Found this article : There are men in Nagoya who will answer when jogging, "Ohayossu!" as a contraction of Ohayo Gozaimasu that he reports the Japanese ear hears as more polite than Osu but less polite than "Ohayou."

Ohayossu - more athlethic, male exspressions :victory:

guru-guru means to go round and round, fuwa-fuwa means fluffy, the other two I don't know. Are you sure that's buru-buru, because bura-bura means wander around. [/list:u]

Just as a follow-up, here's some more:[/list:u] dokidoki- nervous,excited perapera- talk fluently[/list:u] shikushiku - weep silently geragera - laugh loudly [/list:u] pekopeko - hungry pakupaku - eat gladly

Never heard any of these words used...Mind to explain a bit? :mrgreen:

I can't really explain them, but I have heard them used. For example, I was watching an interview with Dodgers pitcher Takashi Saito and they asked him how he felt before his first game, he said, "Dokidoki" which mean nervous or excited. [/list:u]

Wow, thanks. :D

And yeah, it's really buru-buru. I heard this in the Galaxy Angels opening theme, plus my half-Japanese upperclassman (who lent me her book) wrote buru-buru on a page full of boring stuff.. so I'm guessing it means boring..?
