HYDは花より男子の映画。来年やるらしいよ。

あ～なるほど。
HanaYoriDangoで、HYDね。
ありがとう。初めて見た

そっか・・・映画になるのか・・・やめときゃ・・・いやいや

[maharu.]

＾いやもうほんとにｗ

もう花男１と２やったのに、まだやるのかよとｗ

[angel_arcane]

guys, what is "Help me!" or "Please help me!" in japanese?

[maharu.]

help me!- たすけて！-tasukete!

please help me!-助けてください！-tasukete kudasai!

kudasai is usually the formal tense for asking orders out of people, such as please do this for me, please wash my car...it goes on.

Thanks! how about "i miss you"

[maharu.]

miss you..?

hmm

あなたに会いたい (anata ni aitai)- I want to see you.

thats the only one i could think of..maybe someone else knows.

[angel_arcane]

本当にありがとう hangbok_2007!

Now, i'm trying to figure out what this means:

一人きりの真夜中って とても寂しいでしょ

particularly きりの and 真夜中って?

助けてください。　

[maharu.]

You're welcome^^

it means

isn't it really lonely being alone at night

真夜中 is mid night, late at night.

きり has many hard to explain ^^;;

[xquasarx]

whoa... haha. 本当にありがとうございます、angel_arcane and hangbok_2007!

nice to meet you too angel! glad to know there's another self-studying filipino here. ^^,

Just wondering, how do you guys type in Japanese font? And where can I get it from? I'm comp illiterate ;__; , I just finally configured it so it would be able to read asian language texts.

あなたがいなくて寂しい anata ga inakute sabishii
but aitai is most common i guess

[angel_arcane]

thanks again hangbok!

@xquasarx : いつ日本語を勉強し始めましたか？

@debussy: i'll try to walk you through. If you're using Windows XP, you can do this.
Go to "Control panel" and then look for "Regional and Language Options" open it and you should be seeing "Regional options" and "languages" tab. Go to "Languages" tab and click on "Details" button. Once clicked, you'll see 2 tabs "Settings" and "Advanced" tabs. Go to "Settings" tab and under you'll see "Installed services" click on "Add" button just beside it and search for "Japanese" in the dropdown list under "Input language" click Ok then Apply then OK to exit. I am not sure if you need to restart, i forgot but you can restart to make sure. After you restart, you'll see a small language icon at the right side of the taskbar. click on it and choose Japanese. I'm sure you can work your way around it now. just try to explore the language bar. you're all set! Let me know how it goes

Guys, need your help again... can you please translate? キミは知ってるかい. I'm confused by the かい. what's the use of this?

あなたがいなくて寂しい anata ga inakute sabishii
but aitai is most common i guess

so i guess there's no direct word for "miss" in "i miss you"?

Thanks angel_arcane and bluenitesky for your help!!

Isn't that just a region thing?? the かい = か . I've only heard older women (grandmother), and a few men use this.

so i guess there's no direct word for "miss" in "i miss you"?

I noticed that too. Guess there really isn't. I've only used "aitai" or " aitakatta", but what Tamago86 said: あなたがいなくて寂しい , is good too.

[Misao]

anyone translate this for me in japanese?

"because we live far away, we don't see each other very often. although, we talk in the phone every night for around 1 or 2 hours."

"a week later, i gradually know that i like him"
^i remember gradually is dan dan.. o.o

"i'll think about it."

thanks!

どういたしまして, debussy yay! it worked ne?

そうか? might be just a region thing, そそそ. i was trying to translate that song from Kisarazu Cat's Eye and I think there's a place as Kisarazu in Japan so yeah maybe its a region thing.

I noticed that too. Guess there really isn't. I've only used "aitai" or " aitakatta", but what Tamago86 said: あなたがいなくて寂しい , is good too.

i searched an online dictionary and found 慕う"したう" that means "to yearn for; to miss; to adore; to love dearly"

pardon me if i am not doing this properly. i suck at conjugating. anyway, i came up with "あなたを慕って" please please do correct me

[Debussy]

どういたしまして, debussy yay! it worked ne?

Iie ( ;__; ) atashi wa mada DL o dekimasen. Shigotoba dakara ne. Saki no wa tada "copy and paste" desu. Gomen nasai.

Romaji de wakarimasu ka?

and yay!!! I loved Kisarazu Cat's Eye. I like Ani and Bambi the most. Which song are trying to translate?

misao, not sure if this is 100% correct, and not totally able to translate everything you said word by word, but in romaji/not very formal:

"because we live far away, we don't see each other very often. although, we talk in the phone every night for around 1 or 2 hours."

Tooi kara hanaretakara watashitachi wa yoku aimasen kedo mai yoru denwa de ichi ni jikan hanashita.

"a week later, i gradually know that i like him"
^i remember gradually is dan dan.. o.o

ishuu kan ato, watashi wa dan dan kare no koto suki ni natta no kizuiteta.

"i'll think about it."

motto kangaeru.

" I'll think about it more."

if somebody can say it more accurately, please do so. I suck at it :/

そうだね～。
「会いたい」が、一番しっくりくるかも。

あとね、「恋しい」っていうのもあるよ。
でももちろん、これは使う状況が限られる
