  • 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!
  • 18:12:03 ah i see thank you~^^~
  • 12:04:51 very helpful! thx
  • 12:37:49 Back in the day the Japanese language used to be so cool. Now it's just sold out...
  • 18:49:06 To whom?
  • 21:19:10 i still thing the Japanese language is totally awesome. im learning sheerly because of how cool it sounds. i will probably never touch the shores of japan or use it in life. the most use i will probably get out of it is being able to watch raw anime and not need subs

  • 00:23:57 I love it too, it's so complex and sounds cool when a native speaks fast.
