Small question...

Submitted by Chocokun on Thu, 12/18/2008 - 10:56.

The nouns that are only in hiragana, is that how they are normally seen, or is the Kanji just really hard? also, for kumori shouldn't the ending be ri not i? I can't type japanese on my computer so if anyone understands that... am I right or is that a weird exception?

I should have been more

Submitted by clay on Thu, 12/18/2008 - 11:15.

I should have been more consistent with kanji usage. For example, normally 雨 (ame), 雪 (yuki), and 風 (kaze) are written in kanji. But I wrote most of it in hiragana because this was meant for fairly beginning beginners.

>>also, for kumori shouldn't the ending be ri not i?

Look closely. It is ri: くもり

り looks like い but they are different.

  • 08:23:46 Go rudeness and an intelligent rebuttle!
  • 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!
