[Wookie]

Seems that my last post went largely unnoticed, being the last on a page, so I'll try again:

What does the symbols in Odin's FFVIII summoning sequence mean, and what does Zanetsuken mean???

If any one needs help with spanish i'm thier man as i am half spanish and am fluent in it, plus 1-10 in japanese is:

iche
ni
san
she
go
rook
shitch
hatch
ku
ju

but one thing, could someone give me a list of striking points on the human body in japanese as i study karate and am currently at 6th kyu and a Sempai (Assistant instructor).

Many thanks

Eh? Ronin, I find that those japanese words, 1-10 that you wrote in Japanese translation is somewhat wrong. Though it's pronounciations from yours were quite similar... just not close enough.

Correction{Japanese}:

Ichi: One
Ni: Two
San: Three
Shi, yon: Four
Go: Five
Roku: Six
Shichi, nana: Seven
Hachi: Eight
Kyuu, ku: Nine
Juu: Ten

These are the proper Japanese words translated from 1-10. Why? Because seeing how I've been taught these words, and have been studying Nippon{Japanese}, for quite a long time{about over 5 years}. So yeah..^^0

If anyone here has any difficulties, or whatsoever about Japanese, just post here and ask me, or anyone here who can speak in fluent Japanese.^_^0 Well, depending on which lanugage in Japanese you all are talking about.

Like either on of these four:
Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana, and Romanji.

Kanji: Most people use kanji. Which is usually most people use this language in Japanese. Even though the language itself is complicated. It still is more reasonable for other people to learn this.

Hiragana/Katakana: These two languages are quite the same actually. Strange, yes? oO" lol But this is one language that is quite easy to learn, seeing how it is related to most kanji. Like saying the words from 1-10, as I pointed out before.

Romanji: This language isn't really used much in everyday Japan life. Mostly whenever on the internet for some strange reason.^^0 lol I'm not sure what the reason is though, but I have yet to figure that one out sooner or later, ehehe. So uhm.. yeah.^^ Like those strange symbols, besides the ones that the write in Japanese characters... Uhm, preferably meaning to the "internet" foreign symbols that confuse you whenever you go to an asian/foreign site.^^0 They're mostly like romanji, or rather, part of the romaji language. Though, I'm not quite familiar much with this... -_-* Aye, gomen ka...

But anyway, yeah... I guess that clears it all up.^_^;

EDIT: The numbers they are teaching you are for quantities, I just remembered. Elee, sam, sah, etc. But Otay is wrong.

it's something like "oh tay" ...it's prenounced like that.

Can you teach me some phrases? like "You is/are ____" (nuh....something)

i think i know that the order is like "subject, subject, verb"

i.e.-instead of "Bob is running", it goes "Bob running is" in Korean, right?

thanks, kupo

[Malevolence]

Well, you said something about Russian, so here's some:

Da: Yes

Nyet: No

Kak tebya zavut: What's your name?

Kak yevo zavut: What's his name?

Kak yeyo zavut: What's her name?

Kto on: Who's he?

Kto ona: Who's she?

Kak diela: How are you?

Privyet: Hi (informal)

Ztracbvutye: Hello (Formal)

Poka: Bye (informal)

Dasvedanye: Goodbye (formal)

Okno: Window

Stul: Chair

Stol: Desk/table

There's more, I just con't feel like typing it

I won't even offer help with Japanese considering that the majority (if not all) of this thread is people helping with japanese. Heh heh.
