[º-Tenshi_Karasu-º]

Hey!
BTW, whats the difference betwen "Ai shite iru", "Ai shiteru" and "Ai shite imasiu"?
I'm getting confused!!!!

[geishaboy]

"ai shite iru" means "I love you"

"ai shite ru" is the same, but it is more casual, used more in spoken Japanese

"Ai shite imasu" means the same thing again, only it uses the masu form of the verb wich is more polite than the other two

[Dreams]

Yes, I know "arigato", comes from "obrigado".

That's not true. "Arigatou" is a conjugation of an older Japanese word "arigatai". You guys might find this page interesting:

a lot of jpn words come from portuguese. it's easier for poruguese to learn jpn than english ppl, 'cause the accent and prononciation is very similar too.
but the grammar is still pretty hard!

ps. thanks gueishaboy!

its me again...i need one of Rurutia's song's translated... its called Yuruginai Utsukushii Mono:

Hiroku odayaka na fukaku tao yakana anata wa mizuumi
Sono soko e suikomareteku watashi no omoi

Aoi kanashimi mo akai nikushi mo anata ga keshita
Tsuki tooru kokoro futatabi ataete kureta

Machigatta michinori mo anata e tsunagatteita
Yasashii sono koe wa kurayami no naka michibiku hikari

Yuruginai utsukushii mono yatto kono te no hira ni
Tomoshibi o tayasanai you ni atatame ai inochi kasane au

Kiseki wa konna ni soba de okotteta kitzukezuni ita
Ima nara chiisana kono te demo okoseru kikaseru

Arashi o keshisari hoshi o yobimashou anata no minamo e
Sono egao o miru tamenara nandemo dekiru

Shiteru wa eien nado daremo ataerarenai
Dakara tsumugi tsutzukeru kirameiteiru kono shunkan o

Mamoru beki taisetsuna mono yatto kono te no hira ni
Utagai wa mou iranai no futari ga deatta sono wake ni

Yuruginai atatakana mono anata no te no hira ni
Nigirishime hanasanai dene futatsu no karada ga kieru made

yuruginai utsukushii mono yatto kono te no hira ni
dakishimete kodou wa hitotsu kagiri aru inochi o kasane au

anyways....I'm sorry for the bother again...but i really like this song and i would appriciate it if I knew what it meant...domo arigatou

[Dreams]

Okay, done.

-------

Wide, calm, deep and graceful, you are a lake
In which my feelings can go inhale at the bottom

You've disappeared, and blue sorrow and red hatred
Once more make my heart transparent

And on a mistaken journey, I've been tied together to you
That gentle voice is my guiding light in the dark

At last, there is something solidly beautiful in the palm of my hand
The warmth of your love overlaps my life like a lamp kept aflame

A miracle occurred this way, without me having recognized it
It's now in my small hands, but I let the feeling happen

I'll call the stars to vanquish the storm, so at your water's surface
I'll by all means be able to see your smiling face

I know that no one is capable of giving such things as eternity
So the thread of this moment continues to glisten

I must protect my most precious thing in the palm of my hand
I've had enough doubt since the time we met (and don't want any more)

You have something solidly warm in the palm of your hand
Grasp tightly and never part, until our two bodies disappear

At last, there is something solidly beautiful in the palm of my hand
Holding me so that your pulse (lit. "throbbing") overlaps my lonely limited life

-------

I'm glad I found the kana. There were a few romanization errors, and definitely words, that without kanji, would have thrown me.

*nikushi -> nikushimi
*tsuki tooru -> sukitooru
*kikaseru -> ki ga suru
*shiteru -> shitteru

And things are broken up strangely, like:
*tao yakana -> taoyaka na
*hanasanai dene -> hanasanaide ne

I know you probably didn't write the roomaji and could care less either way, but I'm just throwing the corrections out there. ^_^

[-Pachi]

yeah..I'm still learning...so i have no idea on how the words are SUPPOSED to look...but I thank you for your help once again Dreams

tteyuka okottenai kedo...nanka kibun waruino...shoganaika...datte, otokotte hontoni mukatsuyo...

What is this sentence in english?

[Ryukon]

Lordy, what is this??

About the only things I could pretty much translate is the word "but" from 'kedo' for the first part, and maybe "floor" from 'yuka'. 'Nanka kibun warui no' looks like "things like feeling bad" in our form of sentencing. 'sho ga nai ka' seems to look like a question that says "No penmanship/calligraphy?". Then the only things I could see was "even/because" from 'datte', and "really" from 'honto ni'.

Other than that...I have not the faintest clue. Where did you get this?

[geishaboy]

Arggggh, block of romaji! you could at least tell us where it's from and in what context it's used

tteyuka okottenai kedo... - not a clue, tte at the start of the sentance puts me off a bit, plus okottenai has alot of different meanings
nanka kibun waruino... - Why do you feel so bad?
shoganaika... Can't it be helped?
datte, otokotte hontoni mukatsuyo... But, you say it's a boy, thats honestly mukatsu (I have never come across the word mukatsu before, could be a name)

[Happy Chikkie Ron ^^]
