ok..how about..
"That's cute"
"you know..you're really cute.."
"do you want to go on a date sometime?"

[Dreams]

That's cute!
Kawaii ne!
可愛いね！

You know, you're really cute.
Oyamaa, anata wa zuibun to kawaii da.
おやまあ、あなたはずいぶんと可愛いだ。

Do you want to go on a date sometime?
Itsuka boku to no DATE ("day-toh") ni ikitai ka?
いつか僕とのデートに行きたいか？

[Tomasu]

oo..thank you much-ness ^^
ok..i started messing around with japanese and i translated this..i think it means..
Do you want to come to my house Sometime?
kondo sono uchi, uchi ni kimasen ka?

but the two "uchi"s in it make me think it's wrong...*sigh* am i right or wrong?
(or hopeless?)

also...
How would you say..
I'm ___
as in an age?
or is different like french?

[Dreams]

Just hack the first part of that sentence off. All you need is:
家に来ませんか？(Uchi ni kimasen ka?)
~masen ka is kind of like "wouldn't you like to...?"
And that's a polite way of saying it.

Like, "I'm [number] years old"? It's literally "I am [number] years."
[Subject] wa [number]-sai desu/da.

Watashi wa 11-sai desu.
私は11歳です。

Kanojo wa 15-sai da.
彼女は15歳だ。

Etc.

[Tomasu]

Meiko, go to Jeffrey's Japanese-English Dictionary (http://www.df.lth.se/cgi-bin/j-e/dict). Where the checkboxes are, uncheck "words" and check "names" instead. Then put the drop down menu on "word matching pattern". Once you search for a name, scroll down to the bottom of the page and press "reload with inline kanji". That's where I get my name readings... problem is, if you're bad with kanji, you can't copy and paste them to find out their meanings, because the page reloads with images.

If someone knows of a better place to search names/name readings, I'd love to know... and not those cheesy "baby names" sites.

[Tomasu]

thanks dreams ^^

[Yuki~]

Thanks Dreams! ^^
Hm.. i'm not bad with kanjis, but I'm not a profissional on it. XD ^__^'

[Tomasu]

*Sigh* here's a reverse request..i have some japanese i presume that i need translated to english..

はじめまして、Three Bullets and a Gun(スリーブレッツアンドアガン)です。

ベース担当のYONEと申します。

私どもしがないアマチュアバンドなんですが、自分達の音楽を老若男女問わず、ひとりでも多くの方に聞いて頂きたくmyspaceを始めてみ
ました。

お時間おありの時にでもご試聴頂き、もし宜しければ是非ともフレンドにご追加くださいませ。


何卒宜しくお願い申し上げます

i received this from a band i presume..and i can't even read it...
____________________________
and..if you can..what does "Ja mata ne" mean?

[Dreams]

The message (yep, it's from a band) says:

Nice to meet you, we're "Three Bullets and a Gun" (they wrote Japanese pronunciation in the parenthesis). This is the bass player, YONE. We're a humble amateur band, making music for the young and old alike, and have invited many people to join us on MySpace. Check out our demos when you have the time, and give you our best regards and hope to add you as a friend. Thank you very much for your support.

"Ja mata ne" is kind of like "See you later".

[Tomasu]

ooo...thanks Dreams ^^

hmm..could you tell me how to say..."don't worry i won't bite..."

[Dreams]

Don't worry, I won't bite...
Shinpai nai, boku wa kowakunai...
心配ない、僕は怖くない・・・

'Kowakunai' also means 'not scary', etc. But it's used as a colliquial term for 'won't bite'. If you used the actual verb for 'bite', it might sound strange.

[Tomasu]

Thanks dreams ^^

can you tell me what "Hajimemashite" means?

edit: I figured it out(in two seconds) It means "how do you do?" right?

and another thing is..

what is "genki da yo "?

[Yuki~]

I'm so happy! I'm going to Japan next year!!

[Dreams]

Yeah, 'hajimemashite' is 'how do you do?' or 'nice to meet you'. I think literally it means something along the lines of 'meeting [you] for the first time' since it uses the root of 'hajimeru', which means 'to start/begin'... etc.

'Genki da yo' is like 'I'm fine!' Usually when you ask someone how they're doing, you ask 'Genki desu ka?' And if you're doing well, you answer 'Hai, genki desu.' And so on.

Lucky lucky Meiko... :3 Bring me back something. *sniff* Naw, just have a great time.
