Is there a website for this drama? It might help provide some clues for me to translate the names. I know some of the surnames, but the given names are giving me problems. Sweat

um.. i'm pretty sure they wont be in the website because they're just extras.

The situation
the main character is interviewing a lot of different women
and those are the names and their careers


and About the 3rd clip. I'm kinda unsure about the translation. Is anyone willing to help out for that part. I'm so sorry

Well Sweat In order to get rid of other similar mistakes... what would you say of these sentences?

A�F�@�ċx�݂́A�ǂ��ɍs�������H�@�@�@�@�@"Where do you want to go for summervacation?"
B�F�@�|�@���E�̂ǂ��ɂ��s�������񂾂�I�@"I want to go to all the places in the world!"

A�F�@�N�ƃJ���I�P�ɍs���́H�@�@�@�@�@�@�@"With whom are you going to the Karaoke?"
B�F�@�[�@�N�Ƃ��s���Ȃ��B�@�@�@�@�@�@�@�@"I'm not going with anyone."

A�F�@�����H�ׂ��Ȃ����̂ł����H�@�@�@�@"What things can't you eat?"
B�F�@�|�@���ł��H�ׂ��I�@�@�@�@�@�@�@�@"I'll eat anything..."

A�F�@�f��́A�����ς悤�H�@�@�@�@�@�@�@�@"What shall watch for a movie?"
B�F�@�[�@���Ƃ��A���ł������񂾂�B�@�@�@"Well... anything is fine."
B�F�H�|�@���Ƃ��A�����ςĂ�������B�@�@�@"Well... we could watch anything."


The only oddity I see is in the first one.

If you want to say "I want to go to all different places in the world," you have to say, ���E�̂ǂ��ɂł��s�������I

As for the last one (the one with a ? before it), while grammatically it is correct, it is very odd.
The first one is much better.

HTH,

Hi ^^

I think using �݂��� expresses that something "seems" or "looks" like something, but might not be so. You could probably use this sentence anyhow...

������݂����@"In some way, it looks like a hobby."

is fine I guess... maybe as a variation:

��̂悤�Ȃ��Ƃ��@"It's like a hobby"

But, at SpaceAlc I found this construction, which seems pretty usefull and accurate:

�ނ���u��v�ɋ߂� mushiro [shumi] ni chikai�@~ "Rather, it's more like a hobby" (litt: Rather, it's (more) proximate to ...")

Hope to have helped. ^^

"kono hino tenki wa yokatta" is correct.

���F
1. hi / ���ihi) is used mainly as a word. sometimes stem.
ex. ���̓��̓V�C�͂悩�����B�@�������񂾁B
ex.�@�������ihi-zashi) / sunlight
2. jitu,nichi /��(jitu,nichi) is used as a stem, a part of word.
ex.�@���j���inichiyoubi�j Sunday, ���{�iNippon, Nihon) Japan.

And I think Jap is not a good word.

sou suru to / if so,
sore kara / after that,
sono tsuki / maybe you mean sono tsugi ni / in a row,
shoshite / Then/And

Sorry my poor English.
Someone may add more information.

- if kedo is casual and keredomo for polite and ga is also but...is there a different use...like if one used only after verbs or adj or seomthing?
- can u say :

You've got your answer, but please ask your questions about Japanese in the "Japanese Questions" thread next time.

Thx.

One is hiragana (the phonetical alphabet), and the other is the kanji. Both are correct.

is all the "����(hanji)" can be replaced by "������(hiragana)" in a sentence?sometimes write hiragana is simpler than hanji. if i write a sentence in hiragana outright(=�S��),is right?

It all depends. I think kokuou and supermidget might be able to shed some light on this. I rarely see "minna" written as a kanji. In fact I had to look it up. As far as "dare", I've seen it both ways. It might have to do with emphasizing some words. Not sure. Sweat
