Shitsumon ga arimasu ka? ..a topic to post your questions

sensei, how can I express what i want and need?

you gave us :
nihon de benkyoushitai ----> I want to study in japan.

I want to say : I want something "to eat , to go , to have "
how can I say it ?

bme san,
you are talking about 離して　OR　放して. Both are read hanashite and can mean to set free/release/seperate. But it is said in a situation when some one is keeping you against ur will.
If u were talking to your friend, and wanted to ask him to leave you alone(not so polite :p ) then use hottoite　：ほっといて in the meaning of "leave me alone!".

YzN san,
your question is not so clear but i will answer all the possibilities ^^;
-SUSHI WO TABETAI DESU = i want to eat sushi
-NIHON NI IKITAI DESU= i want to go to japan

but if you want to say I want (something)..for example "i want a car"..you need to use HOSHII.
KURUMA GA HOSHII DESU. = i want a car.

I hope that answered ur question. ^^

that answered my question, Arigatou sensei

can I take it as a general rule?
1) I want to DO ...... ---> I remove masu from the verb and put tai .
2) I want to have "something" ---> I say : "something" is wanted. Using Hoshii - is Hoshii an 'i' type adj ? -


I have another question :
I started watching Rurouni Kenshin yesterday....
Kenshin keeps saying something like gozaryo at the end of each sentence....
What does it mean?
Is it like Naruto's dattebayo ?

YzN san,
Yep you can take it as a general rule. And yes HOSHII is an 'i' type adjective so when you say you DON'T WANT you use HOSHIKUNAI.
I wanted --> HOSHIKATTA

ORO?
I guess kenshin is using some type of polite speech. he ends with DE GOZARU YO..GOZARU is the dictionary form of GOZAIMASU..
These days you can hear DE GOZAIMASU as a polite way to say DESU.

I hear DE GOZAIMASU alot when , for example, someone is talking to his customers in a shop or in a restaurant..remember from our play? : "menu de gozaimasu ne? shoushou omachi kudasai".
omoshiroi de gozaru yo!

ORO?

Arigatou for the answer sensei!

I thought it had something to do with GOZAIMASU but the way he kept saying it all the time estab3adet hada el 2e7temal!

BME san,
lol i only meant that mabda2 ennol"leave me alone" huwwa mesh polite anyway.
ORO is just a word special to kenshin..he keeps saying it,,like "huh?"
...aaand mochiron, I'm ready for questions ! ^^

答えの嵐を始めましょう！　：
1) ITTEKIMASU is the IKIMASU TE form ITTE + KIMASU = to come ...so it literally means I will go and come back
2) 'no' is sometimes used when asking at the end of a question in spoken japanese. The WO, and other particles, are also omitted sometimes in spoken language. So they say NANI SHITERU NO? The YO is lal ta2keed so it becomes like "WHAT THE HELL are you doing? " LOL
3) When sumanai is used, this is the NAI form of sumimasen. It is less formal/polite than sumimasen.　'suman' is very 3ammiye too.

Quote :

"WHAT THE HELL are you doing? "

Arigatou~~ ^^
watashi tachi no arashi wo tsuzukimashou ka ? ^^

4) Is ( chotto ) just for time ? if I want to say that someone is a little scary for example ; shall I say ( chotto kowai ) or ( sukoshi kowai ) ? when shall I use this or that ?

5) I always hear a word like ( ikkaginnishirou ) ? they say it in anime usually when someone is injured to give a meaning like ( hold up , shedd 7eelak ) ; is this its meaning ? and how can I spell it correctly ?

6) I have a stubid shitsumon : can you give me a simple description about the using of ( doumo ) & ( yoroshiku ) .. I know they are basic words but I always confuse when trying to use them .. if my friend introduce me to a person , who shall say those words and when .. how ? is there another cases to use them ?

Answers:
*CHOTTO is not just form time.
chotto kowai is correct. You can use it this way.

* What you hear is いかげん　に　しろ！
This is used for someone who is misbehaving in the meaning of :e32al shwai, aw ishi zai hek.
when someone is injured i guess it gives the meaning of: ehda, ma tet7arrak!
SHIRO is a form of imperative, less polite than SHITE. (from SHIMASU).

*hmm..muzukashii shitsumon desu ne.. i'll try to give examples :
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu is said when u r introduced to some one.
It is also used when asking someone for a favor.
EX. : "please take care of the rest" = " ato wa yoroshiku"

Doumo is used with arigatou..and also used as a greeting that means somethin near to "Hi!

For your new post, according to rikai chan "shissou" is disappearance, and "kurou" means troubles.
But I can't tell wheather your usage of them like this was right or wrong, I never used these words they are new for me.

jaa mata ne!

今日は質問がありませんね。

うそーー O_O , you didn't need to use ( trouble ) even for one time !! it seems you didn't face any troubles

Arigatou Gozaimasu for the answers ^^

Sorry for not posting the new questions quickly ^^;

質問の嵐は続きましょう

7- Is there a word like ( dagana ) means ( but ) ? it seems there are a lot of words having the meaning ( but ) like ( demo , tada , shikashi , .. ) , are they all the same and we can use them alternately ?　

8- I hear in anime something like ( misete morao ) said at the beginning of fighting like ( warjeeni 3ar9’ ektaafak ) , is it like this ? what is the right spelling ?　

9- If I saw something beautiful ; shall I say for example ( waaa! kireiiiiii ) or ( waaa! Kirei naaaa ) ?　

あなたの答えを待っていますよ ^^

konban wa bme san!
* the word you are referring to is DA GA. One of the uses of GA when it comes after DESU or a MASU is to mean "but". So informally DESU becomes DA so all becomes DA GA.
I think you can roughly use them all the same.

*misete morau, like "show me what you have"

*"waa kirei", because u r saying like "waa kirei desu".
mata ne!

10) NA here as i think is a form of 'ne' ..NA is used widely in informal male speech.

11) nihongo, dekimasu ka? --> hai, chotto desu ^^; hon elli bes2alak bikoon beddo ye3ref iza bte7ki nihongo wella la2, so we dont say 'iie mada mada desu'

12) You mean ARATA na. Same kanji as atarashii and same meaning , bas wa7de 'na' adjective w wa7de 'i' adjective.
新しい　＝　あたらしい
新たな　＝　あらた　な

新たな質問。。どうぞ

13) I want to know how to say ( I will do something ) as : I will go to Japan or I will not go ?

14) about the word ( na sai ) ; does it come after verbs like ( kuda sai ) ? how can we use it in a sentence ?

15) when I thank for something I usually say ( something wo arigatou ) .. is this right or I shall say ( something arigatou ) for example ?


^^

kotae, douzo!
1) MASU form can give the meaning of 'WILL'. When some one tells you ganbatte kudasai, u reply with ganbarimasu, sa7? here it means i will do my best.
There are other ways too. One way is the use of TSUMORI..but using it makes the sentence mean something like : " i plan to ...".
u can use Tsumori after the dictionary form : nihon ni iku tsumori desu : I plan to go to Japan.

2) nasai us used when ordering someone who is inferior to you. FOr example a mother will use nasai with her kids, big brothers/sisters use it with young brothers /sisters.
nasai is added to the MASU stem of the verb : ikinasai, tabenasai, yominasai...
gohan wo tabenasai: eat your food!

3）both are correct,,the 2nd one we omit the particle WO which is comon in informal speech.
