Konnichiwa!
I'm learning some Japanese but have never really translated anything so umm...don't go by my account. I'll try  me-ru wa yonda yo--> I called out Mel mado kara--> from the window wo miteta n wa shitteta no --> did you see me? "Did you see me call out Mel from the window?" I'm not sure about the last line heehee gomen nasai  That's what I think it means. Anyone else care to comment or translate. I too wouldn't mind knowing what that means or if my translation is somewhat right ^^ ~sweetncute135~ |

Hmmm...
also... いそ がしくてしにそう "いそ がし" means busy right?.... what about "くてしにそう"? Also... (name)がかえってからまいにちまいにちいそがしいよ any ideas on that one? Seems awkward... |

If I say しに is the -masu stem of a verb that should be a big enough hint.

Errr... does it mean "deadly busy"?
"It splits up as follows (name) が かえって から まいにち まいにち いそがしい よ which bits don't you get?" Hmmm.... well... most of it!... my Japanese is terrible! All I can guess out of it is.... "(Name) on the contrary, because everyday, everyday busy (or maybe selfish?)" Um... so yeah... any chance of a better translation?
