Yes, odd sentences I know, I'm just interested in the grammar parts Big Grin

And does �� always mean "I/me"? Can it be used anywhere in a sentence?


/ these are not undebatable answers... some I changed a bit to make them more suitable in Japan. At least they should be understandable but I sometimes produce sentences that sound odd to Japanese, but I can't test that so easily.

watashi no tanjoubi wa juugatsu no hatsuka desu.
"My birthday is on the 20th of October.

- ��(if you're a guy. else ��) �̒a������Y�ꂿ������́H�n��/�����Ȃ��I

"Did you forget my birthday? Idiot / I can't forgive that!"

- �A������d�b�������H
kaettara denwa shite kureru?
"Would you call me when you come home?"


�� always means "I" or "me" or "mine" etc. As in: it can never mean "you", "they" or anything like that. Since Japanese - like any language - has rules regarding word order, you can not place it anywhere within a sentence.

It's okay that you've changed the sentences a little Smile It often sounds better in a different way in another language. I would do the same in Norwegian Smile

And yeah, I'm a girl, so watashi for me! Hehe....

Thank you very much, for both translating and writing it down in both Japanese and romaji, as my reading skills are sloooooooooooow and I don't know any Kanjis... yet Bleah

Sure, my pleasure ^_^

In short, counting months is for example when you want to say how many months you've been somewhere. Like:

���{�Ɍ܃����Ԕ��܂�܂����B�@nihon ni gokagetsukan tomarimashita ~ "I've stayed in Japan for 5 months"

As you notice, I wrote �܃����� gokagetsukan, �� kan is used to more clearly express the concept of a time period, but it's not compulsory to add this. Anyway that's why I said this list was't complete yet Bonk

Howdy! again... lol


Anyways, I'm listening to this Learn Japanese podcast, and in one of the "shows", it had

�A���b�N�X �܂��� �ނ��‚�
Alex maji de mukatsuku
(Alex is really annoying or Alex really pissed me off�j

But, how do you say, Alex is not annoying .... How do I make mukatsuku negative?

Well, concerning negatives in general... it's just like any other nagative of a verb. You change the verb into mizenkei form, and suffix �Ȃ� nai:

�ނ��‚��Ȃ� mukatsukanai ~ "to not get pissed off" ~ "I don't get pissed off" ~ "(she/he) doesn't piss me off"


One note though; the word itself isn't a very nice one. If you want to make the other comfortable that s/he's not offending anyone; rather arguing a supposed conscent that someone is pissing people off, say:

������Q����Ă��܂���� kanjou wo gai sareteimasen yo ~ "My feelings haven't been hurt" ~ "I didn't take offense"

but if someone just says "S/he's pissing me off" you might say it in response.

Hope this is any help.

Can't you do it like this;
Alex wa mukatsuku janai,
Alex wa mukatsuku dewa arimasen?
Or does that make alex sound like a passive object or something.. Nut

No you can't. You should definately take a look into Japanese grammar from a schoolbook (or other material). Your suggestion doesn't make any grammatical sense.

mukatsuku is a verb. Verbs have there own way of conjugation. -nai is just a part added to make a verb negative. In janai this is a nagative form of de aru ('to be') which becomes de ha nai then becoming janai. It's another verb (copula). So you know how to make a negative of this particular verb, but it's different for other ones.

Sorry but in order to make it clear, I would have to explain the whole basic foundations of Japanese grammar. Which is quite much. So please refer to a website, or study book. Or some kind. I might eventually make a post including many basic things but it is much work...

good luck!

Ah, cool.
I thought mukatsuku was more of an adjective, describing 'alex' in this case as annoying.
Like 'an itchy arm' or 'a painful expression'; 'an annoying alex'.

I see your point. In that case you might want to read this:

Japanese adjectives. After reading it I think you should be able to recognize adjectives. Verbs are a bit more difficult though...

note: I haven't verified that website's correctness, but it seems alright.

I listen the books on CD while, just when I'm about to sleep. I also, at first, tried to learn hiragana for 30 minutes to an hour each day. Before I knew it, I've learn them all. Big Grin
The sooner your say romaji bye bye, the better. I also use some learning material for kids in Japan. They are, for the most part, written in hiragana and you can learn simple words, like a pig, cow, eyes, hand, colors and numbers... instead of trying to say stuff like "Where is the national museum and how much does it cost for 2 adults and 3 children." I tried this stuff at first and I thought it worked. I can remember those sentences, but I don't know what the words mean. Beaten It's no good for me.

Interesting sentences. I think the only one I know is for Come on let's eat. I think it's tabemasho. For let's drink is nomimasho. I'm not 100% sure though about those 2. Sweat

"That thing is creepy/disturbing" you could say, "Sore wa kowai desu" (Literally-"That thing over there is scary")

I hope by "screw/kick" you didn't mean "I'm gonna screw your sorry ass" cause I don't want to translate that Bonk Bonk Beaten

I'm not sure how to interpret your sentence "That thing sure is creepy". By "sure" you could mean "very / really" or "indeed" or something else. Also the different amount of disgust can lead to various different sentences. It's hard to tell which ones are stronger than others (it depends alot on intonation and context), but I somehow made a mix between having the strongest one on the bottom and the weakest on top, and grouping similar ones together. Some interesting sentences for you to choose from Smile (or inspire you)

Quote:
"That's scary, don't you think?" (not panicing)
�|����˂��A����I�@kowai yo nee, sore!

"That's scary!" (little panic)
�|����I����@kowai yo! sore

"No!!" (litt: "I don't like it", if you don't want to do something, or want it to stop)
�₾�I �i���₾�j
ya da! (iya da)

"(it's so scary; disgusting; creepy) makes me feel sick!" (disgust, complaint, not specifically panic)
����͐����C���������I
sore ha sugoi kimochi warui

"That shit's fucking scary!" (Litterally means the same as the previous one, but using this colloquial and indecent language makes it really rude).
�������������I����
sugei kimoi! sore

Quote:
"Let's eat, okay"
�H�ׂ悤��

Quote:
"That's the power of the KeyBlade"

I hope this helps... if you have any questions go ahead. Victory! Peace!
