sugui ne...jozu da ne...

very impressive...your sentences are very polite....

Anyway i wanna share one word for today...what it means and a copule of samples how to use it. The magic word is TOKUNI.

Tokuni means especially. Used to specify or place emphasis on a single part of a group or to describe something as far better than others.

e.g.

Watashi wa hon ga suki desu ga, tokuni suiri shoosetsu ga suki desu.
I like (all kinds of ) books, but I especially like mystery stories.

Kyooto no fuyu wa samui to iwareteiru ga, kotoshi wa tokuni samui.
Winter in Kyoto is always (said to be) cold, but this year is especially cold.

minna-san ganbatte ne!

yehey...at least i know what TOKUNI means now..one word per day is good enough... :mrgreen:

I have been looking for a good, affordable, convenient (one ride away from Guadalupe) Japanese Language school. Know any?

Where did you learn?

By the way, I\'m already working so the school has to offer night or weekend classes. Thank you.

[samokan]

@ cmontoya, does'nt your company have its own japanese teacher??
// pakialmera gyud ko no..

basically , watching anime really helps me alot.

There's a japanese instructor at NEC and I'm not sure if the company is pushing more on providing japanese class to their engineers. Don't they provide japanese classes for you

[abuot]

Konichi wa!
"Good afternoon" or could also be "Hello"

watashi wa, Arnold ka Abuot tomoshimasu!
"please call me Arnold or Abuot"

Gwyn-san,you'll be our sensei(teacher) here,ok? <---di nako kahibaw hinapon ani.

Pwede:
Gwyn-san, minna ni Nihongo wo oshiete kuremasenka?
Gwyn, won't you please teach us Nihongo?

By the way, watashi ha Lainee to moushimasu. Call me Lainee

*Somehow I find it difficult understanding a word if it's written in Romaji.

[Gwynhuever]

ngeee...di sad ko maayo kaayo ha...not qualified to teach...but very willing to share...na hala...we will learn to use another word today: NINKI

Ninki indicates that something is liked by many people. It may also be used when speaking of people being well liked.

e.g.
What is the most popular sport in the Philippines now?
Ima, Firipin de ichiban ninki ga aru supootsu wa nan desu ka?

That teacher is not popular with students.
Ano sensei wa, gakusei ni ninki ga nai.

I do not know if this kind of sharing is helping..lisod man kay lain2 man gud ta ug levels of understanding...i can start with very basic but the others may get "bored" ...kon mag intermidiate sad ta some can not understand...so please let me know if this style is effective or shall we do it another way ok?

Ganbatte!

para nako, beginner pa man intawn, mas effective tingali if word by word jud...

so now I know two words ----- TOKUNI and NINKI :mrgreen:

Thank you fwends!
