Tomii515 said:and a "が" after "子猫", or just a "は" after "子猫"

子猫(こねこ)は ドインクを。。。
KrazyKat said:The way I understand it is that if you are introducing a new topic then it is best to use が。 Then once the subject is introduced it can be referred to with は。 In this way they are perhaps a little similar to the articles 'a' and 'the'
Remember, が draws more attention to what is doing something, while は focuses on what it is that they are doing. If we say 'once upon a time there were three little pigs' the part we care about is that they are 'three little pigs', not that they 'were' so we would use が。 Every day these pigs would go shopping in town. Here the important part is what they are doing, not that the pigs are doing it, so we use は。
eg. 昔昔1匹のドインクがいました。 このドインクはとても小さくて、とてもかわいいドインクでした。
子猫(こねこ)は ドインクを。。。Tomii515 said:I found out from someone who lives in Japan all her life said it was all right except from the black and white part, as you can see I changed... Other than that, she said it was perfect.

You mean this is what she said is perfect? And that you dropped the b & w part ? Did you use enough words, though, if particles don't count....Let us know if you want a description of the color added back.
What you have looks fine to me so far, the use of "子猫(こねこ)" isn't so much being introduced in the sense you are going to give information on their background or focus on who they are as much as as what they did (in which case は is best).
This thread/game has become extremely confusing....
It looks fine to me. And I'm sure it is if it was a native speaker you talked to.Tomii515 said:no, this part... "。。。白黒(しろくろ)の 子猫(こねこ)は。。。".... It's only confusing because since I (or some other pepole) don't know every japanese word, so we have to look it up. it's frustrating if you cant find it on an online dictionary or a hard dictionary....but anyways, can someone post, or can someone tell me if the thing i though he sad was right?
。。。落としました。 子猫(こねこ)は ドインクを 洞窟(どうくつ)に。。。KrazyKat said:。。。暗くて(くらくて)深い(ふかい)洞窟(どうくつ)に。。。
This means the subject "dropped something." :clueless: 洞窟(どうくつ)で、Tomii515 said:。。。落としました。
Elizabeth said:This means the subject "dropped something." :clueless: 洞窟(どうくつ)で、
その猫がドインクを落としました。 これみたいな感じでしょうか?(is this what you wanted to say ?)
OK, that'll do I suppose. "Into" should probably be 洞窟の中(なか)へ(に) or "down in," but I see what you were trying to get at, now.Tomii515 said:ummm....what? that's the verb of "drop" an object... the sentence was supposed ot say "The kitten dropped the doink into a dark, deep cave. The kitten (VERB HERE) into the cave."
Elizabeth said:OK, that'll do I suppose. "Into" should probably be 洞窟の中(なか)へ(に) or "down in," but I see what you were trying to get at, now.
Kitten ha doink wo deep, dark cave into dropped.
I was confused thinking you were trying to repeat 子猫(こねこ)は ドインクを 洞窟(どうくつ)に。as the following sentence.
Tomii515 said:。。。落としました。 子猫(こねこ)は ドインクを 洞窟(どうくつ)に。。。
(I sugest the next person who goes, to just put 1 word, like an adverb, then the 3rd person to go can put the verb...because that's the only way I see it working, but if you have another idea, use it =D)
KrazyKat said:The kitten cryed, "Meow!" into the cave at the doink. Then, out from the cave came a big and fluffy blue doink.
I think that that would look more like:
子猫は洞窟にいるドインクに「にゃ~」と鳴きました。 そうして、洞窟の中から大きくてふわふわした青いドインクが出てきました。
probably still a mistake or two (or more) in there though, but the Japanese that you have above doesn't really make much sense. Its like:
'The kitten screamed the doink meaow at the cave' and the second sentence needs が for the subject.
