Have you tried the dictionary on this site? (Lots of people don't seem to use the search box on the top right of the pages here at jdorama, but if you pull down the menu that starts with "Drama", you'll find a "JDict", which is a nice Japanese <-> English dictionary.) Yes, I believe the helper verb yuku (iku) can lose its initial syllable in informal speech.

wow, this is awesome!! they even have 'Madara' (one word beside 'Saraba' i was searching the meaning for and never found it). i searched for 'hankou' and it even straightly gave 'hankouseimeibun' which was exactly the word i was searching for this JDict is so cool.. thanks for telling me! actually i use that search box often to find artists but i didn't have any idea what JDict was (i thought it wasn't this kind of dictionary )

thanks! i figured it out after listening to songs using this shorten -ku.. at first i didn't know but somehow just got suspicious they were actualy -yuku.. thanks

Hi, I am actually looking for tickets to Imai Tsubasa's solo concert in Yahoo Japan auctions and I came across this:

�����Ȏw��F�^�b�L�[��������`�P�b�g�񁟏ڂ������Ȃ͗��D�҂̕��݂̂��m�点�������܂��B ���ȂɊւ��ẴN���[���͂������肢�܂��B

Can someone kindly translate what this means?
Onegai!

I'm trying to translate something, but there's a part I don't understand.

"����͎��̂Ȃǂł͂Ȃ��A���E�̐��藧����h�邪���قǂ̊�@�ł��邱�ƂɋC�Â��܂ŁA���قǂ̎��Ԃ͂�����Ȃ������B�h

So this is what I've got:

It didn't take long for me to realise this wasn't an accident (or something like that), but a crisis which shook the ...... of the world."

I don't understand the grammatical term: �h�����قǂ́h�@�@And how to fit it into the sentence.

Thanks in advance for the answer.

It's not �h�� + �����ق�, but it's actually �h�邪�� + �ق�. (The verb being "yurugasu.")

Here's how I would translate it:

"It didn't take much time before I realised that this was no accident, but rather something so dangerous it threatened to shake the foundation of the entire world."

I've taken a few liberties with the translation, but it gets the same message across as is trying to be conveyed in Japanese.

HTH,

It says:

"Seat Selection: Tacky & Tsubasa Member Ticket Line - Seating information will be sent to the winner of the auction. Complaints regarding seating will not be answered."

The last part is really killing me.

I know the Japanese word for tea is "ocha" but is that just for Japanese green tea, or is it for Western-style tea (Teabag type!) also?

Yes, ���� (ocha) is for green tea. I know that if you add the �� character, you can use it for other teas like ���� (mugicha) or �g�� (koucha).

Eightysix has it, it's �g�� (koucha).

HTH,

EDIT: Okay, I was obviously WAY too tired when I wrote that reply and wasn't understanding the question.

Yes, usually when Japanese say "ocha," they mean "green tea." However, that's not to say that you can't also mean "red tea" with the word; it's just more commonly meant as "green tea."

�X���� �y��낵���z (adv,exp) well; properly; suitably; best regards; please remember me;

You can use it when you present yourself for the 1st time. yoroshiku onegaishimasu is more polite.

I've heard yoroshiku a few times in a context like "nice to meet you".

Yes, they mean pretty much the same thing: "very".

I believe that totemo has a little bit more mature sound to it. "Sugoku" sounds a little more "gushy" to me.

But I could be wrong.

Hm, I just ran across this saying when I was reading: ������ǂ�. I've checked my dictionary, but I'm not getting anything. I'm guessing it means something along the lines of "here and there" or "somewhere"?

Not too sure, but you probably were hearing ������Ƃ� (kokontoko).
This is a colloquial way of saying �����̂Ƃ��� (kokono tokoro), and means "recently" or "lately."
