How do you say...

[GoldCoinLover]

Hi. I was wondering a few phrases in japanese and how to say them. For particles, when do I know to add the "o". When travelling, for you use the particle ni. Please look at the below phrase and ask me if I said it right. I am trying to say "I am going to japan."

日本はいきます。
Where do I add the "ni" in there?
nihongo wa ikimasu.

How do I say "from"
How do I say "until"
How do I say "when"
How do I say "today"
How do I say "how are you" in common day exchanges
How do I say "now"

Thank you

dame dame dame :p ! you should say : 日本へ行きます。The "he" is written he but acually read "e" so it is Nihon e ikimasu. e is added when you speak about going to or coming to a place , like 家へ帰ります　I come back home . 学校へいきます　go to school.
It not so easy to define the acual meaning of ni . As you can use it in speak of your action towards or from someone. like when you say watashi wa tomodachi ni aimasu . I meet a friend . Then you also use it for times and days. like shichi ji ni. mokuyoubi ni. o is quite simple , as you use it for objects like coohee wo nomimasu. spaghetti wo tabemasu . terebi wo mimasu.

You can use ni when specifying the action of movement towards a location
nihon ni ikimasu is ok to use. I know many japanese people who use this particle in the same type instance, so either "e"(he) or ni is actually ok.
ni can be explained MANY different ways and uses but some are harder to explain then others.

Thank you. I am having trouble with the kanji 行. It means "Going", but I am confused. How would you write this kanji in romaji?
家へ帰ります　- What is the 家 in romaji, as well as the 帰 please?
The hiragana says e rimasu.

[Index]

行 is written kou in romaji. 行く is iku, which means 'to go'. 'Going' is 行っている (itteiru),
or if you are talking about future tense (eg. I'm going to school tomorrow), then it's also 行く (ie. iku).

家 is 'ie', which means house/home. 帰 is 'ki' in romaji, while 帰るmeans 'to return (home)'. 家へ帰りますis ’ie he kaerimasu’.

Or　うち（家）にかえります
My jidosha has both いえ　と　うち。　But I guess いえ is more polite?

どちでもいいんだよ。

By the way, how did you get two　houses into your car ？ :cool:

When: くせに

That's not right. Where did you get that? くせに is like のに except that it's more emotive.

@Index - LMAO!!! :D:D I missed that one.
