Re: Where can i get a Japamese Translator.
Arg.. Not in the mood to try and translate right now...
I've got a few questions for you reguarding Japanese, Ryouga...
1) I'm just making sure, but if you change the "u" at the end of a verb to an "i", that makes it a noun, right? Like, asobu=to play, asobi=playing?
2) What does it mean when you put "o-" at the beginning of words? Oo; I could never figure that out...
3) What do thesentence endings "zo" and "wa" mean? All my Cursebook said was is that "zo" is only used by males, and "wa" is only used by females.. (I'm assuming this was is different from the particle "wa/ha")

Ryoga-sensei says:
1) Those would be gerunds, or something like that I believe. I'm not too sure; lemme check one of my books... ::checks:: ... Errgh. First of all, gerunds in Japanese (the -te form) are different from English gerunds (-ing verbs, or verbs as nouns). I can't seem to find any info on that; I'll check more later (it's 2 AM, gahh.. @_@)
2) that is simply an honorific term. Example: in Japanese the word tea is "ocha". The "o" in front of "cha" is honorific, and is used so comonly with "cha" that it's now stuck. =P When used with nouns, like I said, it show politeness and when referring to another person with it, it implies that it does not belong to you (that it belongs to them). i.e.:
"O-haha-san wa yoi desu!" Your mother is nice! (and yes, I used old fashioned adjectives in this =P)
3) Actually, it's the same particle. "Wa" at the end of a sentence is simply female slang. It's used as a softener. You'll hear it alot when females are trying to be polite. Females also use "atashi" instead of "watashi" as well. The "zo" is the EXACT opposite tho. =P "zo/ze" and sometimes (rarely) "za" are used by males at the end of a sentence for roughness and manliness. It can imply being pissed or being excited. In SA1, I believe Sonic says "Iku ze!" quite a bit in the Japanese voices (Iku ze! = let's go! ... iku ze is actually a common male statement) For a female to use "ze/zo" is like a female cursing ALOT in English (not that it implies cursing, just taht it has the same negative effect on their "ladylike" manner =)
Hope it's helped. =) ja ne, minna!

Re: Where can i get a Japamese Translator.
JapaMese is foreign to me. But I am learning japaNese. I dunno atall, just some basic phrases so far and most of the hiragana. It's a VERY difficult language. Of course... there is an online tutorial we use in lessons to help with classwork. it's at www.bbc.co.uk/ks3japanese (username is "student", password is "tobu")
