RE: 一番好きな日本語は何？ Japanese 4 Morons: 101st Lesson

This is the full video I made for Victor http://www.youtube.com/gimmeaflakeman's 101st Japanese 4 Morons lesson.

The puppet I'm holding is my favorite plush toy. I got it when I was born... yeah 25 years ago! Still in good shape though. I really like puppets. The japanese word for PUPPET is:

操り人形　・　あやつりにんぎょう　・　ＡＹＡＴＳＵＲＩ　ＮＩＮＧＹＯＵ. It means manipulation + doll but if you want to be more precise and say PLUSH PUPPET you could say 操り縫い包み. あやつりぬいぐるみ　・ＡＹＡＴＳＵＲＩ　ＮＵＩＧＵＲＵＭＩ．

ＮＵＩＧＵＲＵＭＩ　（縫い包み・ぬいぐるみ）　means PLUSH / STUFFED TOY. (o^_^o)

And for the cat lovers out there. Cat in japanese is NEKO (猫・ねこ） and my cat's name is Zipper (ジッパー) it's a female tabby.

Once again I'm sorry about the bad video editing. I'm still a newbie when it comes to Windows movie maker. I really hate it! If you guys know any other video editing software that I could use with a PC (Windows Vista =__=;) please tell me!

I really enjoy reading your comments!
Thanks for watching!

Maki

hi makichan.. it's janis :) im so happy to see your videos.. i haven't been on livejournal that much for awhile.. so im so amazed at how lovely you sound!! im browsing looking at people's japanese videos so what a coincidence to hear you speak.. im trying to learn japanese atm.. how are youbtw?

[getoutofmyband]

Ahh Janis! Hiii! I've abandoned lj too ;__; I didn't want to.. it just kind of happened and I can't seem to find time to start updating again :/

I'd love to make more videos in japanese but i'm sooo rusty, sometimes it feels like I've forgotten so much that I'm back to beginner level even though I was in intermediary level in Uni boo.

I'm doing great, very busy at work. Had a cervical hernia for a while and my computer crashed but now I have a Macbook! YAY. Should be going to JP in May/June.

Maki, I just noticed this now, but is your CAT on a LEASH!?

[getoutofmyband]

It is. It's because I live next to a very dangerous street and my cat could very easily run away and get hit by a car. She doesn't have claws either and when I lived in Montreal she almost never went outside except on the balcony. Here I let her go outside in the backyard but she's on a long leash. She can run around but not too far. My house is a hairsalon too and there's always cars going in and out of the parking so I'm also scared that she'd go sleep under a car and get run over.

「まかさま」じゃなくて、「バカさま」と言いました。Gimme­abreakmanさんの日本語のレッソンのタイトルは「Jap­anese for morons」なんです。　「Morons」のいみは、「バカ」だから。。。「バカ様こんに­ちは！」と言った。おどけましたね。

日本語は、まだまだだけど頑張って続けますよ！
