Wow, thanks for all the explanations, supermidget!

Actually, in this case you can say ���� for with me.

E.g.:

���ƌ����ɗ��Ă��������B(Watashi to kouen ni kite kudasai.)

"Please come to the park with me."

���ƈꏏ�� (watashi to issho ni) is a more common way of saying "with me," but just ���� is fine by itself.

Otherwise, your explanations are spot on!

Hi shieriru, could you perhaps provide some more context? It's not so obvious what you mean exactly... it sounds strange in english without knowing what is talked about so it will sound strange in japanese as well i guess:

���̓��{�l�̒j�@watashi no nihonjin no otoko ~ "My Japanese man" (or men depending on context)

Sounds like you own people though...

Hi supermidget!

Sorry if I didn't make my post clear. Anyway, I'm looking for the translation of "My Japanese Men" coz I'm going to put it on my siggy which of course contains the pictures of my favorite Japanese actors.

And yes, it sounds like I own them.

A question to anyone who can answer it:

If I were to order at a restaurant and wanted to substitute something for something, how would I say it? For example, say I wanted to order coffee, but instead of milk, I want soy milk.

Thanks~

The simplest way would be to say something like this:

�����𓤓��ɑウ�Ă��炦�܂����H (Gyuunyuu wo tounyuu ni kaete moraemasuka?)

Literally, it means "could you please substitute the milk for soy milk?"

HTH,

While �V�� could mean 'exotic' in a very round about sense, the word usually used is either:

�ٍ����� (ikoku fuu no)

or

�G�L�]�`�b�N (ekizochikku)

HTH,

Please find the 'answers' to your questions below.
I've made it as simple as I could.

Kokuou, if you'd like to elaborate more and/or throw in more 'answers', please do so because everyone knows you do it best!



* Where were we? (as in when you are in a conversation with someone and then you're interrupted, and then after the interruption you talk again)
In cases like these, I say "nandake?"
Informal, but it works.

*How dare you~!
"Konoyaro" could be applied.

*How could you?!
"Nande" (literally translated to 'why?'), but it works.
"Doushite" also works


*Boring...
"Tsumaranai"

*I'm soooooo~ jealous
"Urayamashii"

(i hope i'm assuming the correct conversation context in which these 'answers' are to be applied to)
