Nope. the use of H is a new one to me for those double consonants

I have usually (99.999% of the time) seen this as a (U) added. such as in Doumo Arigatou. the (h) makes you sound kinda like Homer Simpson (Doh!)

think of it as a space filller, you cant really make a H sound there so it just continues the vowel

ooohk.

I am just going to tell you Vslayer that I HAVE NEVER SEEN romanji using the h as you describe. It is not the normal way of expressing the long vowell sound that I am aware of (usually this is expressed with a line over the extended vowell or a u such as in "koufuku"). If you really want to use it fill your boots, and use it. However it is quite confusing for some people.

If you have other more related question fire away. I will not be replying to any more romanji questions such as this. from now on keep your questions to how do I say/ could you give me help translating/ what is this Kanji..... got my drift?

and how do you say I love you more than life itself.

 

Beautiful

1) Utsukushii
2) kirei (na)

both = beautiful
You have to define "what is it that is beautiful"

 

I love you more than life itself =
watashi no seimei yori anata ga daisuki

better to say Watashi wa anata o renai shimasu I have fallen in love with you.

Love you more than life itself is not something that is usually said in Japan.

 

BY the way, Hideki-san, I read somewhere in the net about gender-based pronouns in Japanese. COuld you please tell me about them (like how a man refers to himsself as in 'I')? Also, the article I read mentions about non-gender-specified pronouns. So, coulod you explain them all?

 

i have never heard of any gender specific japanese nouns, got hit with a fuckload when i was starting german and spanish tho.

i really cant think of anything even similar

 

how do you say :

- shower sex ... or sex in the shower

- sweet

- i love you

- you are my everything

- i need you

- i love your kiss

Uh, Hideki-sensei, where are you?

 

1. shawaa ni sekkusu o shimashoh ~ lets have sek in the shower

2. not sure about slang terms

3. anata wa dai suki desu

4. dunno

5. pass

6. pass


if ay got any more that arent so slangy i can prbly do them, oh yeah. you hardly say te the "u" at all so suki would be ski and desu would be dess

 

Wow, so many questions !!

About Gender based pronouns and gender based words!.... etc,,

Male = usually more vulgar words...
for example refer to your self as (boku wa) or better yet (ore wa) very extreamly politely you also could use (watakushi wa). On the street you'd better use (ore/boku wa)

One last thing when using emphatics as in yo or ne in endings best to use zo / ze ( real men use these endings) NEVER USE (WA) ending or you'll have every rippongiite after you!
indicates a limp wrist!! got my drift!!? this ending is horrifically feminine!

Oishii means = tasty in Japnese but this adjective is more frequently used by women.
Use instead (umai)

 

Tori by the way just means bird. You want to say niwa-tori = Chicken.

Fried chicken (Wafu) Japanese style is called Karaage.

 

I have been much busy right now. Halloween is coming and I am busy making hanabi
and study for chukanshiken. thank you. I will converse later

 

Ah, arigato, Hideki-sensei.
But you haven't told me about the female-based and neutral pronouns/nouns. The only thing I heard about these pronouns is that 'atashi' is feminine style-wise, so I'm curious... Oh, and also the ones I've heard are ware and ware ware (I and we, as the source said), and bokura (another we). Is this correct?

 

yes right you are Curiocity!
Atashi is feminine. ware is I neutral/ non human, ware-ware is used to decribe a group of people and is also neutral/ non human. hard to explain. I will look for some proper info for you. I know the useage but it is hard to describe in engrish. Example sentence:
Ware-ware wa Uchuujin da trans.We are aliens. Famous quote!
usually Bokura is reffering to a group of males.

 

All Japanese source on Ware and Wareware indicate a totally neutral form of selfness.
Example would be a cat writing a story about him/herself and using I. that I would be ware since the cat is not human. If used by a person it is expressing non selfness or just the vehicle of the body. "I am just an entity". ware-ware is used by people if they are considering themselves as part of a tight homogenous group.
Such as vulture capitalists.

I hope you get the useage?

 

Ah, yes, thank you very much, Hideki-sensei. One more question: If a group of both male and female wants to refer itself with the word 'we', what should it use? wareware?
Also, you've mentioned that bokura is for a group of males, wareware for neutral. What about group of females?

 

hmm, well atashitachi is the only plural being used by women I can think of that is exclusively feminine. I have heard tough Japanese girls use "bokutachi" but it is not the "norm" what the hell is normal anyway!
