souka.. :souka:

ah sou sou ^^
denai = negative of deru to leave
ikemasen = negative of ikeru ..which means what? lol

I break down every piece of a sentence, i understand things better than way :blush:

Thanks for clearing that up :-)

ikeru = potential of iku

ikemasen / ikenai either means "can't go" or ~"isn't done".

I suppose it could be either in this case.
