It's actually:

(‚¨)‚¢‚‚Â‚Å‚·‚©H
[(O)-ikutsu desu ka?]

It literally means "How much (is your age)?"
If you're talking to someone older (or higher in rank) than you, you need the "o" at the beginning.

HTH,

Awww.. didnt know that..All this while I only used 'nan sai desuka'.. and luckily the japanese understand me. Thanks minna for this..Loving this thread more and more :glomp:

so what would this translater as

zutto kurikaeshiteta zutto kanashimasete bakari datta
kitto anata sae mo kizutsukete boku wa ugokenu mama
anata ni fureru koto ga naze konna ni kurushii no desuka?
kitto onaji koto wo kurikaeshite anata wo ushinatte shimau no ga kowakatta kara

I didnt know if i could just put that one sentence and if it would make sense without the rest[/b]

Hi,
Any of you have one of those electronic dictionaries where you can input kanji my hand? There is this kanji that my Japanese friend himself didn't know... Maybe it was the kanji's next to it with it, but he had no idea hehe.

Well according to my “d’rŽ«‘(denchi jisho, electronic dictionary) its meaning is:

–ƒFƒAƒT, asa: hemp; flax

You're on your own figuring out what flax is. :hehe:

Thanks a bunch :bow:
It was related to food, so I guess it was flax as in flax seeds.

H can also be a code for a hentai/ porn movie like XXX is used in the US

11 Jul 2007, 09:31 #417

I think you mean kirei - which means beautiful or attractive :)

Yonekura Ryoko-chan wa totemo kirei desu!

Ryoko Yonekura is very beautiful ;)

11 Jul 2007, 09:37 #418

oh ok thank so what is the mean of either psycho or pretty
and is that a word at all

11 Jul 2007, 09:41 #419

Not sure about Psycho... but you could use kirei or perhaps kawaii for pretty.

Try out the JDict in the search box above, it's a wonderful thing ;) Select JDict from the drop-down box where it says "Drama"
