   After all the silly posting I've been doing I thought I should put something up. I'm drawing this pic of Weiss Kreuz, the one similar to my backgroud, except their sitting down, and I was thinking of drawing another pic of them in the back like huge, but I'm not to sure if I should color the rest all black. Or should I leave it white? But then it'll look plain and wow that's a long run on sentence. NE way, anyone gots a idea?

   Lesson 3 - relationals/expressions/and adverbs
Okay, onto the next lesson. Well I attempted to type hiragana onto the post, but it didn't show up, so gomen nee, but I can't teach hiragana. But I'll try to find a chart. neway, now i'll attempt to teach sentence structure. Boy, this will be fun. But first, the phrase...

I'll have two this time....

*From Jigoku Inu's friend - Watashi no atama ni ono ga aramusu (Oh my god, there's an axe in my head)
*From Pheonixblade - Arigato ugozai masu (thank you for waking me up.)

Okay. Sentence structure. First off you need to know that there are things called relationals. The join the sentence together in a sence.

*wa - (this is the the most confusing relational, yet the most widly know. It has many uses. The only ones I know of is...)
1. it acts like a equal sign.
EX: Anata wa baka desu. (how many times have you heard someone say this, which means you are and idiot. bakana is the adj form. neway, it tells you are equivalant to and idiot. So you can do alot with it. Say you are a chair. Watashi wa isu desu.)
2. It acts as a contradictory relational. (here is where the wa gets confusing. It can be used to negate something, then use it positively. First let me explain the ga)
*ga - (ga is like the wa expect it specifies even more. Using wa you're just saying a sentence. Using ga you're stating it. so back to the contrasting wa.)
EX: Yakyuu ga kirai desu. Tenisu wa suki desu. (I hate baseball. I like tennis) That's the best I can explain it. I don't understand it enough to be clear. Gomen *bows*

*e - e is the relational that shows direction. It is placed before directional verbs.
EX: doko e ikimasu ka? (where shall we go?) ikimasu means go. doko is where. There are a lot more directional verbs, I'll list as many as I know.
ikimasu - go
kimasu - come
kaerimasu - return
(by knowing a lot of vocabulary, you can form more sentences.)

*o - o is another basic one. it is placed before actions, so verbs as well, but not directional verbs.
EX: tenisu o shimau (I play tennis) It sounds strange, the english translation, but that's what it means. There is a whole other part to tenses. I'll cover that in the next lesson I guess.
shimasu - play
kaimasu - buy
mimasu - see
kikimasu - hear (oh here's a good phrase - Kikoemasen. it means can't hear. )
yomimasu - drink
tabemasu - eat
benkyoo shimsau - study
hanashimasu - speak

no - now no is a simple one. Think N no N (N= noun) the no allows it so the second noun describes the first.
EX: Yoru no Yume (yoru = night, yume = dream hence, dream of the night)
This word shows possession to. Say you want to say my book. It'd be Watashi no hon. Hon is book.

de - de is at.
EX: doko de shimasu ka? (where shall we play at) simple.

mo - mo has a lot of rules with it. It means also. I'm sure you've head the saying Watashi mo. Me too. But it has some rules.
EX: Tenisu mo shimasu (I also play tennis) It adds that also. If someone says I play tennis, you replace the o with a mo, and it's I also play tennis. It's the same for wa and ga.
EX: Watashi wa baka desu. Anata mo baka desu. (I am and idiot. You are also an idiot) Simple right? Okay

For directional sentences and place, like e and de, it's a little different. The mo is added behind the e and de.
EX: Doko e ikimasu ka? Doko e mo ikimasu ka? (Where shall we go? Where shall we also go?) There's this rule where those relationals cannot be overlaped. I guess that's just the way it is.

na - i'm not to familiar with all the functions of na, but it functions like the no, but with one difference. no is N no N right? well na is AN na N. (AN is an adjetival noun)
EX: Joozu na hito. Skillful person. joozu is skillful, hito is person.
Here are some adjetival nouns:
suki - like
kirai - hate
kirei - pretty
joozu - skillful
heta - unskillful

Expressions - I'm sure you uses a lot of expression. The common ones are
yo - you know
and
nee - isn't it

The final thing I'll talk about in this lesson is adverbs. Adverbs modifies the verbs and adjective and other adverbs.
chittomo - not very
anmari - not at all
totemo - very
chotto - little
takusan - a lot
ichiban - the most
EX: Chittomo ii desu yo. (not very good you know) ii is good.

Well, I hope that wasn't too much at one time. The later lesson I'll spend a lot of time typing vocabulary. ^+^ Well, my hands hurt. Minna-san, ganbatte kudasai, jaa, mata!

   Lesson 2 - reading numbers
Well because the responce I got to Lesson one, I think I'll continue with these lessons. I could learn something from it. Okay, more Nihongo!

Phrase of the Lesson (fyu, it has nothing to do witht he lesson)
*Okane o kudasai. - Money please. (very useful, I must say. ^+^)

In lesson two, I think I'll try to cover how to read the numbers after 10,000.
10,000 we read in english as ten thousand. Keep in mind the 1 is in the ten thousands place. For Japanese, it's slightly different. I'll first explain each place value of where the 3 is. I'll place how we read it in brackets. (I'm using three to show it doesn't not only apply to 1)

3 - ichi
[ones]
30 - jyuu
[tens]
300 - hyaku
[hundreds]
3,000 - sen (Don't forget, three thousand is read san zen! ^+^)
[thousands]
30,000 - man
[ten thousands]
(here's where it starts to change. You'll see the pattern)
300,000 - jyuu man (for Japanese, they don't start adding on tens and hundreds until after man. Remember jyuu is ten and man is thousand. What I believe they're refering to is ten times thousand is hundread thousand. See the picture? O.O)
[hundred thousands]
3,000,000 - hyaku man
[million]
30,000,000 - sen man
[ten million]
...and that's where I learn up to for place values. Haven't covered farther than that. neway, so you got the place values down. From ten thousand, then the previous positions are added on before it. You just have to learn it that way. There's no other way I guess, but believe me, it starts to get clearer fast. ^+^

Okay, so reading numbers now.....I'll start small and work my way up.

16 - jyuu roku

465 - yon hyaku roku jyuu go (okay, 16 and those you're already seen on Lesson one. And you've learned the place values, so this should be easy to understand. Look at it one by one. 400 is yon hyaku. So yon hayku and then it's a 65. Well two digit numbers are simple - roku jyuu go. So just out it togerther - yon hyaku roku jyuu go! hurray!)

6,167 - roku sen hyaku roku jyuu nana (again, add on)

73,181 - nana man san zen(*remember, zen!*) hyaku hachi jyuu ichi

671,643 - roku jyuu nana man issen rop pyaku yon jyuu san (no watch out for the hyaku on six. Remember it's rop pyaku. thousand alone can be sen or issen. I perfer issen. Notice the roku jyuu nana man. Adding on the ten before makes it hundred thousand. Then just add the number it is.)

7,135,946 - nana hyaku jyuu san man go sen kyuu hyaku yon jyuu roku (very long...don't worry, you'll get used to it)

finally....

12,345,678 - issen ni hyaku san jyuu yon man go sen rop pyaku nana jyuu hachi (longer..... T_T)

If you really want to get good, write out long randam numbers and try to translate it to japanese. It's best to translate to hiragana if you can write. But I don't see how I'll be able to show hiragana so... sorry...

Well, I think that's enough for Lesson 2 - reading numbers.

Hai, minna-san, arigatoo gozaimasu. Sayonara! mata! ^+^

   Lesson 1
Okie, time for more Nihongo!(Japanese!)
I've decided to actually try teach Japanese, this way I think I'll do better in my Japanese class. Keep in mind I am only a first going on to second year so you should not trust me 100% Be advised, Procede With Caution. Every lesson I shall teach you a silly phrase...^+^ enjoy!

Phrase of the Lesson
*Shinjimae - Go to hell. (*.* how nice...)Thanxs to Phoenixblade

And now, ~Lesson 1 of Learning Japanese from someone Learning Japanese...~

lets start the lesson with numbers

(say each one five times and sound them out)
ichi - one
ni - two
san - three
shi (or) yon - four
go - five
roku - six
shichi (or) nana - seven
hachi - eight
kyuu - nine
jyuu - ten

Structuring longer numbers are as followed...

21 would be ni jyuu ichi. ni is two and jyuu is 10. Placing ni before jyuu would make it twenty (ni jyuu) to add on the one's place number, add it to the back. 21 - ni jyuu ichi
33 - san jyuu san
40 - yon jyuu

100 - hyaku
(the same thing applies to hundreds. if you want two hundred - ni hyaku. But there are exceptions.)
200 - ni hyaku
300 - san byaku (these reason it changes here is the simple reason of "that's the way it is" You just have to learn it this way.)
400 - yon hyaku (personally, it's best to use yon and nana so it doesn't confuse the shi and shichi.)
500 - go hyaku
600 - rop pyaku (six has the double constant going into the hundred. Here the hundred is transformed with a "p". Pay attention to the double constants because when you write it with hiragana, it REALLY matters.)
700 - nana hyaku
800 - hap pyaku (again, you just gotta learn it this way)
900 - kyuu hyaku

1,000 - issen (or) sen (again that's the way it is. It's like how we say one thousand and also thousand)
2,000 - ni sen
3,000 - san zen (it changes here, pay attention)
4,000 - yon sen
5,000 - go sen
6,000 - roku sen
7,000 - nana sen
8,000 - has sen (again, see the changes have a pattern to them)
9,000 - kyuu sen

10,000 - man
20,000 - ni man
30,000 - san man
40,000 - yon man
50,000 - go man
60,000 - roku man
70,000 - nana man
80,000 - hachi man
90,000 - kyuu man
100,000 - jyuu man

I get to reading the numbers past that another time. Don't wanna confuse or make you remembers to many things. If you like this, and want me to keep continue, please comment. Just a simple thumbs up would suffice. Oh, if you have any request you'd want me to teach or any questions, feel free to comment about them. Okay, for now...Sayonara minna-san! Mata!
