  • AWESOME ^_^

  • Thanks, buddy.

    Please enjoy my vids from now on also.

    Have a good one.

  • Sorry I'm only commenting to this now, the book I'm using is teaching hiragana as it goes, so grammar progress is slow.

    Would なにいろ be pronounced nani-iro or naniro? The second one sounds a bit more natural to me, but I'm just a gaijin!

    A bit like `arigatou' often being pronounced `ariato' :o)

    Love the lessons by the way, there's no substitute for hearing natural language spoken by a native speaker - the books are only of limited use. They're much appreciated. Thanks. :o)

  • Hey Buddy!!

    Nani=What, Iro=Color. なに + いろ = なにいろ

    So, when you write, you need to separate it by each meanings.

    However, when you speak, you can pronounce Naniiro as one word.

    Anyway, I recommend you to pronounce so that you feel comfortable in a conversation.

    Have a good one!!

  • awesome vid ^_^

  • Hey buddy!

    When you write, Nani-Iro (なにーいろ)is better.

    It is separated by each words meaning. Cuz, Nani=What, Iro=Color.

    However, When you speak, as a pronunciation, you can say Naniiro as one word.

    Anyway, I recommend to pronounce as you feel comfortable in a conversation.

    Have a good one!

  • Yes! My Japanese is now good enough to translate the first chorus of "What in the Butt" in broken Japanese!

  • I have heard the order of questions mixed around before, and t's somewhat confusing. For example, sometimes one would say "Kore wa nann desu ka?" as you've shown. I have also seen "Kore wa nani?" It that simply a less formal wording? Thanks.

  • Kore wa nann desu ka? Kore wa notebook desu. can you say "Nani?" when some calls out to you or looks at you as if to address you?

  • Thank you very much for your comment!

    It encourages me to continue this.

    Thanks!

    Have a good one!!
