  • 09:19:04 If I contributed to that I am actually quite proud, I can't bare people who enjoy their mannors served on what persumably must be a mercury coated golden platter.
  • 08:32:23 ummm k I have a question... When asking would you like something to eat would Nani tabetai desu ka? Be incorrect... the lesson i just used says Nanika tabetai desu ka?
  • 12:15:58 明けましたおめでとう!
  • 15:36:04 M Utley - Nani (o) tabetai desu ka? would mean What do you want to eat? But Nanika Tabetai desu ka? means Do you want something to eat? The difference in meaning is slight, but it's there!
