Sounds like somebody's name.
~dono is a suffix attached to people's names, usually when writing a letter.
It's pretty close to ~san (Mr./Mrs/Miss).

I have no idea what you mean. I would assume that if they're making a pinky promise, it's the same as anywhere else.

thanks ^^
i understood most of it before you translate it, but I was really confused XDD

[Tomasu]

Do you remember me?

I would like to know how to say "I shall always love you" in Japanese : D

[Dreams]

Both informal:

I shall always love you (for deep emotions/relationships/etc)
Itsudemo (anata o) ai shite'ru
いつでも(あなたを)愛してる

I shall always love you (between family, friends, crushes, etc)
Itsudemo (anata no koto ga) daisuki da
いつでも(あなたのことが)大好きだ

[Tomasu]

Thanks Dreams : D

I have a question though, is the ( thingys ) Required to change the meaning?

[Dreams]

Oh, sorry. The stuff I put in (parenthesis) is optional.
If you're talking directly to a person, you usually do not need to use the word "you".
Hence, anata = you, so it's optional.
(That, and the particle that marks the word would disappear too.)

[Tomasu]

Ahh, ok, I knew the whole 'you' rule, I just didn't know if that was required or not. Thanks Dreams : D

[Karin Rengu]

Ok, so there's several different ways to say I, you, and we. So is there other ways to say her (other than kanojo) him (other than kare) and it (other than sore).

Also. . .how do you say 'rice paddy'?

[Dreams]

There really aren't any other ways for those pronouns... her/she = kanojo; he/him = kare. I suppose you can use terms like "aitsu" or "yatsu" or even "anoko" for he/him, but they will most likely sound rude, unless you're joking around with friends or something, etc.

"It" is rarely specifically represented in a sentence to begin with, but "sore" is the best option. Sometimes "kore" and "are" can loosely be used, and the marker "no" can also represent "it" in certain grammar patterns/in the middle of a sentence. "No" is used when the object has already been referred to, so you can avoid repeating it.

"Rice paddy" = 水田 (suiden)

[Karin Rengu]

Ok, so if we already know the object, 'no' is used to refer to it? Thanks!

[Dreams]

Yeah, I'll think of a dumb example.

Do you want to buy a t-shirt?
T-shatsu o kaitai desu ka?

Well... do they have any red ones?
Eeto... akai no ga arimasu ka?

Whereas the normal sentence would be "Do they have any red t-shirts?" -> "Akai t-shatsu ga arimasu ka?"

[Karin Rengu]

Ok! Thanks! That's something good to know!
Also...is it strange for girls to use 'ore'? Because I was watching some Bleach the other day and I know Orihime said 'ore'

[Yuki~]

What do we have to say when we want to ask about the voltage of something?
XDD

(hahaha what a weird question XD)
