@YunaLuthien

'litterally?' I guess my pronunciation may have been a bit guttural. :-)

I wasn't sure what "はじめまして" meant. Thanks for clearing it up!

@Jkgarrahan Thank you

Sorry about a erroneous response.

Though Japanese has no number, that is - singular / plural, certain personal nouns have a plural form. Anata has a plural form anata-gata. Pronounced as if it is anatangata, with a nasal n in between.

Watashi (I) becomes watashi-tachi to refer to we.

Kimura-san-tachi is equivalent to Mr Kimura's family. More like 'The Kimura-s'.

[YunaLuthien]

@avidreader100 Yes, a typographical mistake. "literally" I meant. :) Yet, it is a quite nice pronuniation! :)

[ninimke]

Does "anata" also mean "you" when you are talking to mulitple people?
