wakaranai is the negative plain form, while wakarimasen is the negative masu form. masu form is more polite than the plain form. plain form is usually used among friends...

Shiyou as used by boredtosanity was a derivative form of SURU (to do) ...so abuot-san you understood it right.

[boredtosanity]

yep yep.. as gwyn-sensei explained.

it's uh.. the volitional form (mao ba to? kadaghan man gud klase nga form. plain form, polite form, uniform.. hehe joke) of suru.

Anyway, maybe it would be better if start sa with a few vocab words, then a little of grammar later on. watchuthink? It might be easier that way lang... mao man pod sa books hehe.
