I would like to know how to say...

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

I think it's something like:

watashi wa tanoshimu demo watashi wa shite shimatta ni ie ugoku.

Those are the correct words, however the verbage may be incorrect. Hmm...hope that helps :-k

Hm...it's a little late for me to reply so I'll hold back on what I came up with.

Um...by the way, it's "onegaishimasu" for "please" and "doomo arigatoo gozaimasu". I know where you got that though, so don't worry. :)

I went to my school Sensei to get this sentence translated. Turns out the one I originally had earlier was totally wrong, but here's what she got:

"I've had fun, but I have to go home."

Tanoshikatta, keredo, kaere nakereba narimasu.

That "-katta" in there is a past tense for for "fun". "Tanoshii" with that last "i" makes it an adjective, so working with adjective forms is different from your usual sentencing. Unfortunately, I can't clarify much on it considering I wasn't doing too well with adjectives (and it's been a little while since I worked with them).

Fun = tanoshii (place the last "i" in to make it an adjective)
Was fun = tanoshikatta ("-katta" makes it past tense)
Not fun = tanoshikunai ("-kunai" present negative tense)
Didn't/wasn't fun = tanoshikunakatta ("-kunakatta" negative past tense)

...something could be wrong...but like I said, it's been a while since I did this adjective thing.

Your usual adjectives that you know currently isn't necessarily an adjective in Japanese, so it's a little more complicated on occasions. The word for "fun" just happens to be one of them.

"Demo" is a form of "but", however I think it's more so used at the beginning of sentencing and not connecting two things with one another. "Keredo" has the same meaning but it's used to tie the two parts of the sentence together.

"Kaere" is a form of the word "kaeri" or "kaeru" which is "to return", but used as "to return home" for the most part.

As for the last few parts, I can only make guesses so I'll just leave it at that.

ヂョ(dyo)

It depends on the level. Even friendships they sometimes(but rarely) say "daisuki". It's not actually that proper to use the "dai" though. How one would go about it is the use of "totemo suki" or to dislike very much would be "totemo kirai".

Hm...in more of a love-relationship kind of term, yeah, the use of "daisuki" as in to "love/like very much". Putting the "totemo" in front of "daisuki" might be going a little overboard..lol.

The meaning for "aishiteiru", "ai o shite" or "aishite" would actually be more on the...deep intimate side...if you get what I mean. :lol:

A friend of mine is obsessed with Japan for the sheer reason of anime and when I hang up the phone with her, she always says, "Aishitieru, Onee-chan!"
Now I can't stop laughing. xD
