Hi! I'm new to the forum and urgently need some help with a translation? Can I get it here and if,where?
Thank you for answering in advance,

Sorry, but I have moved your thread to the proper forum. "Serious discussions" is not meant for tranlation questions.

Good luck with your dilemma, though! I hope you find the help you need!

Hi!So here is my question. A friend sent me a message with the following content:
Konnichiwa ..., gomenne zutto henji dasanakute. Smile [:)]. Would somebody be so kind to translate this for me because I want to answer soon. Thanx for your help in advance, sliderz

"Hello. I'm sorry for not replying for so long."

How's this?

[sliderz]

That was fast!! And could you also help me with the answer "It's okay. But it's really nice to learn some Japanese at last.See you next time,...".

Is 全然 another way to say "It's Ok"? Is it the same as "kamaimasen"?
What does "でもやっとちょっと日本語覚えられて" mean?

[Charles Barkley]

just saying zenzen implies something like zenzen daijoubu, zenzen kamaimasen. The following word is just omitted.

yatto= finally, at least
oboerareru= to remember/internalize in the 'can form'

Its just a translation of what was asked above...

Ah I see. Thanks!

so "vb + rareru" = "can" or "to be able to"?

[Toritoribe]

so "vb + rareru" = "can" or "to be able to"?
Basically, yes. The conjugations are a little bit more complicated though...

Hi! I have to recognise that it isn't easy at all to learn Japanese. What is the best way learning Japanese as a complete noob? I mean besides going to school ?
