Got a question? 質問があるの?

It's not nearly as complex as English, but as usual we find ways to screw it up.

Break down of the first sentance.

ここから始まる
kokokara hajimaru

koko - here
kara - from
hajimaru - begin

So basically it means "It starts here", "It begins here".

どこまでも
doko made mo

doko - where
made - untill
mo - also

So basically this one means "where will it end aswell?" , "where will it also stop?".

Uh on, it seems I made a mistake. :oops:

I was bothering me why the particle "mo" was used at the end of the sentance, as it is not normally. And while what I said was somewhat correct, I found out today that "dokodemo" is a set phrase meaning "anywhere, through thick and thin, to the utmost, in all respects"

Sorry about that.

I told my bf, "suki desu", and he was like,"so you only like me?"........
So.............

Does "suki desu" mean "I love you" or "I like you" ?

It can mean both, it depends on how seriously you say it to a person :wink:

Try "kimi ga daisuki da yo" キミが大好きだよ that sounds a bit stronger.

Translating a whole song is bit too dificult for me, I'm not fluent yet. On top of that I have my Japanese finals coming up, so I don't have time anyways. Sorry.
