Good luck with that. I wish I could take some formal lessons :(

Hi, I have another question. What does "‚¢‚‚à‚Ç‚¤‚è" mean in English, and how would one write it with kanji?

Thanks!

Not familiar with the term, but ‚¢‚‚à is itsumo (always/usually/every time]
and ‚Ç‚¤‚è is douri (reason/truth)

So that could mean "Usually/always truthful"?

It's ‚¢‚‚à‚Ç‚¨‚è with an "o" not "u." It means "as usual" and the kanji for that is ‚¢‚‚à’Ê‚è.

The top one in "Unicorn - Tribute" the bottom one is "Okuda Tamio - Covers"[/list:u] So yeah, you're right they probably are various artists. The top one being a tribute for the band Unicorn, and the bottom one covers of the band Okuda Tamio.[/list:u]

I was checking out this site which Anime dad had given me and looking at the kanji practice sheets and they showed 2 ways to say heart. Im used to kokoro but they had another one as well....this is how it looked on the sheet

HEART = KOKORO HEART = SHIN

why is shin also heart?

Almost all kanji have 2 ways of being read, on and kun. Usually, you use the kun reading for a character by itself and the on reading for 2 characters together. Example: l by itself is pronounced "hito" and Œû is pronounced "kuchi" by itself. Both those are the kun. But put the 2 characters together, lŒû and it's pronounced "jinko" or the on reading. Confused? Good, you should be. [/list:u]

because the shin bone is connectd to the heart bone.

I received an email recently, and I need help with this part of it:

Ž„‚͈ê”ÔƒtƒbƒgƒTƒ‹‚ª‘åD‚«‚Å‚·BƒtƒbƒgƒTƒ‹‚ð‚·‚é‘O‚̓TƒbƒJ[‚ð‚µ‚Ä‚¢‚Ü‚µ‚½B ƒ}ƒCƒN‚³‚ñ‚Æ“¯‚¶‚Å‚·‚ˁB

The meaning of the first sentance is obvious to me, but the last two are not as clear.

Any help would be great! Thanks.

Oddly enough, I don't understand the first sentence. What the hell is ƒtƒbƒgƒTƒ‹? But the second sentence means they liked soccer (ƒTƒbƒJ) before. The third sentence means Mike (ƒ}ƒCƒN) also (“¯‚¶j. Hope that helps. (Katakana drives me nuts sometimes :bonk: )[/list:u]

I had to look this up. It means 'futsal', or indoor soccer. I think the rest makes sense once you know this.

Well...she liked soccer before...what? From what I can tell, it literally is "before doing futsal, I was doing soccer." The second sentance still isn't clear to me. And what is the the third sentance referring to...what is the same with me (I'm Mike, by the way)?

Thanks!

The way I would interpret it is, she liked soccer before she liked futsal, and with that "ne" at the end of the 3rd sentence it almost like she's asking a question, "You too, Mike?" wanting to know if you like futsal also. [/list:u]

I would translate the sentence like this:

"I really love futsal. I used to play soccer before I played futsal, just like you."

I've combined the last two sentences, because I think it sounds more natural that way in English.
Anyway, I *think* the person, when they say "just like you," is referring to your playing soccer. In the Japanese sentence, "Mike-san to onaji desu ne." is physically closer to the word soccer itself, so either the writer is referring to you two being the same in the sense that "you play soccer, too" OR that "you used to play soccer before you played futsal." I assume it's the former because you had no idea what futsal was.

HTH :mrgreen:
