Knowing Japanese and being able to teach it = Genius. I know that I couldn't teach German worth crap

Yeah. I don't think I could be able to teach a good portuguese... -___-
There are some expressions that I just wouldn't know how to explain what it means. they are so obvious to me XDD

Yea same with me for english. I don't even know how to conjugate in english! XD because i've grown up with it

Ooohhh.. conjugating verbs in portuguese is terrible!
It's hard and we don't use most of the conjugations. =P
That's why I consider other language's conjugations easier than portuguese... u__ú

You don't use most of your conjugations? WTF? XD I wish I knew how to conjugate in english XD It's so pathetic that I don't!

About the thread, I'm just checking to make sure I have things straight. Alright, itachi is a weasel いたち and in Naruto the character itachi's name is written イタチ　so that means his name does not mean weasel right?

My friend wanted to know how to say her name in Japanese, her name is Tiffany. Thanks in advance.

THat's weird but the same may be true for english I just don't know. For some reason, American schools are phasing english out of the curriculum so. . .yea really dumb

Not necessarily. For instance, a word in kanji in Japanese can be written in kanji, hiragana, and katakana and all mean the same thing.

Cat = 猫 or ねこ or ネコ.

Names can be special only because they usually use kanji, which can be any combination to mean anything. But as far as kanji for the name "itachi", I only see one possibility: 伊達 = "that one/Italy" + "reach/arrive/attain". And it's listed as a surname. So, in all likelyhood, the character's name "Itachi" probably is supposed to mean "weasel".

It would be pronounced the same in Japanese - with foreign names, they pronounce it as closely as they can. But 'Tiffany' fits into Japanese syllables easily: Tifani (ティファニ).

Thanks! ^_^

what's bestffriend in jap?

Best friend

how can you say this in jap in a natural way:
"i like you but you don't like me, and i hate you for that... i hope that you'll be able to notice my feelings sooner or later..."
and
"i like you and i want to express these words to you...."
thanks!

i like you but you don't like me, and i hate you for that... i hope that you'll be able to notice my feelings sooner or later...

(Watashi wa) anata ga suki na dakedo, (anata wa) watashi ga suki ja nai shi, kono tame anata ga daikirai n'da... tsui ni kimochi o kitsukeru koto o negau yo...
私はあなたが好きなだけど、あなたは私が好きじゃないし、このためあなたが大嫌いんだ・・・　つに気持ちを気付けることを願うよ・・・

i like you and i want to express these words to you....

(Watashi wa) anata ga suki de, (anata ni) kono kotoba o nobetai...
私はあなたが好きで、あなたにこの言葉を述べたい・・・

Everything is written in informal speech.
Things in paretheses can be left out, as the subject is often understood by context.
If you are a girl, you can replace 'watashi' (I) with 'atashi', 'atai', etc.
If you are a boy, you can replace 'watashi' with 'boku', 'ore', etc.
'Anata' (you) can also be replaced with the person's name, and so on.

then wat's dis in jap:
" I want to go back the way we were, i want you to be the old ki-chan i once knew..."
and
"i don't know my real feelings, i want to know them and understand them... i want to know how i really feel about you... i want to know whether i really like you or hate you.."
and
"I know that saying 'i like you' with someone that i don't really like is a bad idea... but i'll try to like that guy so that i'll be able to forget about you..."
and
"I want to forget about you... i really do... i'm trying my best to forget about you... but i just can't.... why is it that i can't forget about you...?"
and
" Why is that i've liked you for so long...? i've liked you ever since we met, and up until now, i still do... why am i so attached to you... Why is that...?"

sorry for asking so many questions....!
i'm really sorry!

I want to go back to the way we were.
Mukashi no mama o kaeritai.
昔のままを帰りたい。

I want you to be the old Ki-chan I once knew.
(Anata wa) furuku kara no Ki-chan ni nareba ii no ni.
あなたは古くからのキちゃんになればいいのに。

I don't know my real feelings, but I want to know them and understand them.
Honne wa wakaranai dakedo, (honne o) rikai shite wakaritai.
本音は分からないだけど、本音を理解して分かりたい。

I want to know how I really feel about you.

あなたについて本当に感じることを分かりたい。

I want to know whether I really like you or hate you.
Anata ga suki da ka, soretomo kirai ka dou ka wakaritai.
あなたが好きだか、それとも嫌いかどうか分かりたい。

I know that saying 'I like you' to someone that I don't really like is a bad idea, but I'll try to like that guy so that I'll be able to forget about you.
Suki ja nai hito ni 'anata ga suki' to itte wa ikenai koto o wakaru. Demo, anata o wasureru tame ni sono hito o konomu you ni suru.
好きじゃない人に「あなたが好き」と言ってはいけないことを分かる。でも、あなたを忘れるためにその人を好むようにする。

I want to forget about you, I really do.
Anata ni tsuite wasuretai, hontou ni.
あなたについて忘れたい、本当に。

I'm trying my best to forget about you, but I just can't.
Anata ni tsuite wasureru you ni suru kedo, dake wasureta inai yo.
あなたについて忘れるようにするけど、だけ忘れたいないよ。

Why is it that I can't forget about you?
Dou shite anata wa wasureta inai no?
どうしてあなたは忘れたいないの？

Why is it that I've liked you for so long?
Dou shite zutto anata o kononde iru no?
どうしてずっとあなたを好んでいるの？

I've liked you ever since we met, and up until now, I still do.
Deatta hi kara zutto anata ga suki datta shi, korekara mada suki da.
出会った日からずっとあなたが好きだったし、これからまだ好きだ。

Why am I so attached to you? Why is that?
Dou shite anata ni miren ga aru no? Dou shite no?
どうしてあなたに未練があるの？ どうしての？
