how do you say "university" in japanese? Oh and how do you say "i don't know if i like him or hate him.....????" in an informal way... thanks!!!!!

[Dreams]

University
Daigaku
大学

I don't know if I like him or hate him.
Kare ga suki ni naru ka, kirai ni naru ka, wakaranai.
彼が好きになるか、嫌いになるか、分からない。

thanks!!!!!! how about "I don't know if he hates me or likes me...?" in a neutral way.....??? sorry if i'm asking too many questions....!!!! gomen ne...!

[Dreams]

Then it's just the same question I wrote, with different pronouns.

彼は私が好きになるか、嫌いになるか、分からない。
Kare wa watashi ga suki ni naru ka, kirai ni naru ka, wakaranai.

Or, whatever you would use in place of 'watashi' if you like to use something more relaxed, like 'atashi' or 'atai'. Or 'boku' if you're a tomboy.

how about "stand, bow and sit" before the class starts? What're those in japanese..?

[Dreams]

I had to check on Google until I found a foreigner's blog about school in Japan to make sure I had the right terms.

Stand!
Kiritsu!
起立!

Sit down!
Chakuseki!
着席!

The person said "bow!" is "rei!", but I don't really know which one they mean. It might be 礼 because 黙礼 (mokurei) is "to bow silently".

Not that I think you're concerned about writing them. :) ...But I want to be sure I know what I'm talking about too.

how would you say.."Why do you have to tempt me like that?" and... "Yeah..i need to take a shower now..all these dirty thoughts going through my head are getting to me..."

Lol...

[Dreams]

<.<;;

Why do you have to tempt me like that?
Nande sonna ni boku o yuuwaku suru ka?
なんでそんなに僕を誘惑するか？

~~~

Yeah... I need to take a shower now.
All these dirty thoughts going through my head are getting to me.

Aa... ima SHOWER o abiru hitsuyou ga aru. Midara na omoi ga atama no naka o kakemeguru koto wa ki ga kurui sou da...

ああ・・・今シャワーを浴びる必要がある。みだらな思いが頭の中を駆け巡ることは気が狂いそうだ・・・

hey Dreams, do you know the kanji for Meiko??
if there's more than 1, I'll be happy with 2.. ^^'
thanks.. ^___^'

[Dreams]

There's about 40 readings for the name 'Meiko'... :0

Nearly all of them end in 子 (child) for 'ko'. And a lot of them have three kanji total, like 'me + i + ko'.

Common kanji for the 'me' part: 芽 or 萌 (sprout or flower bud), 明 (light - can also stand for the whole 'mei' part), 愛 (love)

Common kanji for the 'i' part: 衣 (clothes), 生 (life)

[Tomasu]

Thanks Dreams ^^
hmm...i had another one..that i can't think of at the moment...

[Yuki~]

thanks Dreams!
hm.. did I understand it right?
I can use the kanji 明 and another kanji for "i" or I can also use it for Mei?
^___^

[Dreams]

Yeah, it could be like:

明生子 - Meiko
明子 - Meiko

[Yuki~]

ok! thanks!!!
