I thought that was so, I should of looked into my books, one of the many words I was taught in ramaji first

I must relearn it all :P

what is the literal meaning for じゃなくて？

Gaijinian · Mar 19, 2006, 11:49

It is a form of じゃない, and it means "It is not."

ZiN · Mar 19, 2006, 11:59

すみません

Thanks

AmiraHime · Mar 29, 2006, 01:58

Are we still chatting?

*caugh* *gets ready* *ahem*

はじめまして。　ァミラ　です。　どうぞよろしく。

That's about what I have learned in the japanese caurse I started going to last week ^_~

How do I say "I am new to this forum" ?

Takaryo · Apr 6, 2006, 18:33

I'm kinda sorta new too! Yoroshiku! this is my second year. I passed my Japanese exam last year.

**epigene** · Apr 6, 2006, 18:40

アミラひめさん、タカリョウさん、こんにちは！

よろしく、おねがいします。

"I'm a new member" is ->　あたらしいメンバーです。

BeNe · Apr 6, 2006, 19:31

今日は！
hi, i have a question

I' ve been learning japanese for about 2 years, i can read kana and some kanzi (ok, I love kanzi I can't get enough of them). i read the hiragana written sentences, and i find it really hard to read them.
e.g. あたらしいメンバーです
for me "新しいメンバーです" is much more easily to read..
how can that be?

**epigene** · Apr 6, 2006, 19:41

That's true for me, too.

But, please remember that this is Beginner's Chat. I avoided all use of kanji here.

こんにちわ、ァミラさん！

時間（じかん）があったらいっしょにチャットしてみませんか？

　
一週間（いちしゅうかん）でたくさん勉強（べんきょう）しましたね。(You really studied a lot in one week).

ZiN · Apr 12, 2006, 23:05

BeNe I'm glad to hear kanji gets better there's just so much to cover and I've only just begun.

I do prefer 日本語　To にほんご but I spose that's the first one for everyone, time to get back to study some more.

Damicci　さんは初心者じゃなくて、かなりの中級者で� ｷね。

　でも、完璧を本当に求めるのならやはり「勉強にがんばって」は、「勉強をがんばって」が良く、「勉強します」の代わりに、勉強しています」のほうがいい」というところを訂正しました。みなさん、彼を手本にしてみてください。

十日間くらい前に日本から帰ってから、私の日本語はも怪しくなってきたので。。。
夜ちゃんと眠れるようになれば上達するといい。。。

AmiraHime · Apr 14, 2006, 12:17

Epigene: ありがとう ^_^
Elizabeth: はい、　たくさん　しごと
(trying to say that we did alot of work, lots of homework from our ambitious teacher).

Damicci: ah, too much Kani ... it's nice if you could put the kana equivalent in brackets, おねがいします ^^;;

Tomii515 · Apr 17, 2006, 10:15

Saa, watashitachi wa nani o hanashite imasu ka.

AmiraHime · Apr 17, 2006, 17:09

"Loneyly In Gorgeus" お　はなして　です。貴方　わ?

Edit: My romji-to-kanji program made the hirgana-to-kanji transformation ... gah,anyone know a better program, where one can get katakana as well?
(I use JWPce)

Nicky · Apr 17, 2006, 17:14

JWPce can be used to write in katakana. Just press capslock or hold down shift, instead of hiragana you'll get katakana.
