Hi everyone~~
Question question question =D!
I'm practicing saying this word: otsukaresamadesu
&& I'm having trouble with the word ending o__o

when we pronounce the ending, '-desu', does people usually say 'desss' (stressing the 's' only), 'des-eh' (like an 'eh' or 'uh' at the end), or 'des-oo' (like pronouncing the 'su')?

Thanks!

Usually when you pronounce "desu" the su part isn't said...so like in your first example "desss", that would be the common way.

Expiration date is...しょうみきげん or しょうみきけん？
And when using this counter: にっしゅるい、ろっくしゅるい etc what are you counting? I'm guessing it means a variety of things...that's the counter I use when describing the 6 different flavors of things we have in the store.

賞味期限
期限 = always きげん so しょうみきげん is right

しゅるい is counting kinds of things or types of things, so if you use it with icecream you're saying you have 6 types of ice cream or 6 kinds

Recently I bought this ice cream mix to try out but my Japanese is kinda limited.
Could anyone correct me or add on anything I miss while trying to interpret the steps?
TIA.



1) Add 3/4 Cup of cold milk and egg yolk into the bowl and mix together.
2) Add in the ice cream mix, mix until the mixture thickens(?) for 2min. *I'm not too sure about the parts in blue* I'm guessing it says: if the mixture does not mix well, add in cold water?
3) Put in the freezer for 3hours or more. Serve.

what does tokiniwa mean??
and sugoi (su-goy) is there such a word?

The first one isn't a complete phrase.
Sugoi means "cool", "great", "awesome", etc.

I think the first one is "by the way..."

[stopthemadness]

Could someone translate "You're a genius!" and "What's your problem?" to romaji please? XD I need it for a fic.

Are there any free online English to romaji translators? I can't download anything since my computer sucks. ;_;

sure ok!

you're genius = anata wa tensai desu

what's your problem = naniga attano desuka? (direct translation would be "naniga mondai desuka?" but it sounds a bit strange)

[tokyo_chick]

How do you say.

Thank You For This Opportunity.

what does tokiniwa mean??

tokiniwa means 'sometimes', it's written 時には if that helps (時 is the character for time, 1時 is 1 o'clock, ３時間 is 3 hours, etc)

Hey your translation looks great, number 2 says to add in a bag of mix and mix in the powder with the milk and stir until it turns thick. Use a beater or electronic mixer (on medium speed setting) for two minutes to do that
And I think the part in blue means that if it doesn't work (if it doesn't become thick) then you should put the bowl in cold water (氷水にあてて）, not put cold water in the bowl, because it will help the mixture become thicker faster I suppose. but maybe calcifer先生 or someone could help clarify お願いします :]

How do you say.

Thank You For This Opportunity.

tabun...

mooo! hentai! anntatte hentai janai?!!!>.< (but this is a girl's way of saying)

aishiteru koibito is alright...but we don't usually say "koibito" to the gf/bf or your belove so...maybe "aishiteru watashi no aisuru hito" but this may sound a bit formal, so

"aishiteru daisuki na hito" ?? maybe...

[Crystal-Jade]

How would you say & write "I want to walk into the fields of summer with you....".

Thanks to anyone who can help!

[stopthemadness]

Would this be correct?

"Anata wa bakamono!"

Help please...

[xMinax]

Grrr...i'm taking japanese in my high school right now..and my sensei said that it's good to start learning the formal way first. And now it's so hard for me to transform them into informal way to talk to my friends...is there any easy way to remember these rules ??

You just have to practice it...trust me, the more you use it the easier it'll get.
