I'd actually like it to be commanding. せんせい、 私とにげて。おきなわにいきまっしょ。 Would that be all right? せんせい、おれとにげろ。おきなわにいこう！ That would solidify your manliness. == Uriel To further add the "serious samurai feel," it might help to dramatize it a bit... おい、おまえ・・・うんせんせい、おれさまとにげろ！コオリャア！おきなわへいこうぜ！ Disclaime...

Why を?

makes sense if it was meant 'kidnap/abduct me' instead of 'run away with me'. shiranai.

@paramaya : thank u for the site ! Hai, doitashimashite. Actually I was in search for the best japanese-english dictionary to buy but was too shy to ask ppl here LOL. and still can't make time to get the book lately though I think I've found which one I should buy..., and my japanese lesson also ha...

What Japanese-English, English-Japanese dictionary should I get? you should check this link: http://www.physics.ucla.edu/%7Egrosenth/japanese.html . besides dictionaries, there are also some grammar books suggested and some other japanese-related books and reading materials you may find useful or i...

Here is a link to some practice tests from previous years. You can use this as a tool to judge which level you should take. Also there is a big jump from level 3 and level 2 so make sure youre ready. Based on the feedback we receive after administering the test every year, most test takers (in the ...

Torerling, i know your point. I read whole conversation between you two. Sure it's nice to know/be able to speak many languages, you can get even closer to them 'around' you. Just in my case, i have grandpas speaking different languages, uncles and aunties from different cultures and languages. Alth...

@Riee109: i didn't know if i could just skip one level and jump to higher levels. well, i'll give it try then, and btw to take jlpt level 3 means i must recognize at least 300 kanjis and have min. 1500 words memorized, right? great, feel more excited, it's just challenging, college stuffs and japane...

thanks,..

@fairytwix : thanks for the long explanation. it really helps for the time being. somehow i managed to get the kana tables coz my japanese lesson book doesn't contain them, so all written in romaji. well, this way, i eventually start getting serious with the lesson, though i said that the reason i ...

Thanks a lot XiaoPauli. So, that's all about someone wanting to say something short, though strangers will get confused if they insist on following the rule they're taught. As for ga, wa, o being used in which context and when, maybe some more examples will help clear things up (PHEW, need to learn ...

don't know what happened to this forum, but I think you guys don't have to worry. so many ppl love Nodame (I think). I did rewatch the series for a whole week, and still like listening to its musics (well, I have its OST Compilation from a friend). what makes me like Nodame is because I watched it f...

I heard in j-dorama he says "atama itai" meaning "my head hurts" or "I have a headache". is it OK or I didn't quite catch the ga particle among.? soshite, my book only gives these examples: "kuruma o kaitai desu", "sashimi o tabetai desu", "goru...

Ah, that's right. I didn't notice that. Please forgive my being ignorant..

wow, that nodame (ups, ueno) looks so kawai. I still can't watch though I want to.

@apartomylife sumimasen... I am learning japanese through movies and some books by myself. the fact is I am not intentionally studying japanese, but I like j-dramas so much, and kind of hate reading the subtitles. could you please just use romaji instead of Kanji? coz' I don't know how the Kanji/Hir...

Three actors from NC will be on cast: Ueno Juri (Nodame), Eita (Ryutaro Mine), and MizukawaAsami (Miki Kiyora). Gomen, some of you may hav...

@bmwracer..
sumimasen... what did you mean by spoiler tag?
was the text displayed bad in your computer?
I wanted it displayed as seen, and nothing wrong here.
please forgive my lack of knowledge.
soshite, hajimemashite.

Siantut .. Just when I joined this room... :cry: I had no idea about who had subbed all those nodame cantabile series. But now I know it was you. and thanks to you, I can understand completely how the story (nodame) goes... though sometimes I'd prefer not to look at the subtitles, and just try to c...
