I need to know how to say: Forever I am trapped between earth and the afterlife.

"Forever I am trapped between earth and the afterlife"

itsumademo, atasahi wa chikyuu to goshyou no aini kakatteiru

いつでも、あたしは地球と後生の間に懸かっている

(written in female speech)

Alright, I have another question.

I understand that the kakatte derives from the ichidan verb kakaru, but I have no clue what the ending "tte" means. Could you explain?

That is what is commonly known as the "te" form verb. the Te forms have lots lond lots of uses. There are different rules for different verbs, and it would take forever and a day to list them all, so I suggest you look up how to form them. As for the meaning, in this case, it is showing the ongoing state. kakaru means "to trap", and when it is changed to kakatteiru, it means Trapped, as in "I am trapped".

If you were to just use the plain verb form, the sentance would read "Forever I will be trapped between earth and the afterlife".

The ending "iru" is showing that it is and ongoing/resultant state.

Others like "futotteiru" wich means "being fat", in a sentance like "I am fat" it would read "watashi ha futtotteiru" this is showing a resultant state. Another common resultant state would be "kekkon shitteiru" I am married". In some cases, depending on the verb, it is "de" like "nondeiru" "drinking" or "sundeiru" "living"

Another usage of the Te form means "and" when linking verbs like "watashi wa nonde tabeteiru" I am drinking and eating", or in plain form "Watashi wa nonde tabeta" "I drank and then ate".

Another common usage is when the Te form can be used as a kind of coomand like "Tabete kudasai" "please eat" or simply "tabete" wich means "eat" but in more of a DO IT! kind of way

But there is also "teoku" "in preperation", "Te wa ikenai" "must not", "te mo ii" "it's ok too", "te miru" "to try" and even "te" on its own, wich works like a quotation mark

Simply put, the Te form has way too many uses for me to list here, and I havent even learnt them all myself yet, so I pulled up and old link that should be VERY helpful

Awesome. Most Japanese rules are so easy to get used to. Their language is very simplistic. I will take a look at these links, thanks.

hey, i have a question(an easy question for MANY of you) how do you say carful in japaneese, like your issuing a warning to sombody.

ex: carful, that dog bites

"Abunai" is something I'd say, but that's a term I'm use to hearing. That actually translates to "danger; risky" and of the sorts.

I'm not sure if "chuuibukai" or "chuui suru" is going to work.

thanks
