子馬 ko uma - pony [B]
具合がいい gu ai ga ii - healthy, good condition [I]

All right, horsey. New plan.

SUGGESTED USAGE:

ウィルバーの弟(おとうと)は、ミスターエドと馬(うま)が合(あ)わなかったので、有名(ゆうめい)なテレビ(てれび)番組(ばんぐみ)は悲劇(ひげき)に終(お)わった。

wiruba- no otouto wa misuta- edo to uma ga awanakatta no de yuumei na terebi bangumi wa higeki ni owatta.
Wilbers younger borther never really hit it off with Mr. Ed, so a famous television program ended in tragedy.

  • ウィルバー wiruba- - Wilbur (Mr. Ed's owner)
  • の no - possessive marker acts like the apostrophe S here
  • 弟 otouto - younger brother [older brother is ANI and brothers in general is KYOUDAI]
  • ミスターエド misuta- edo - Mister Ed, the famous Mister Ed
  • ので node - therefore
  • 有名な yuu mei na - famous
  • 番組 ban gumi - (TV) program
  • 悲劇 hi geki - tragedy
  • 終わった owatta - finished, ended simple past
