A few questions

Hi all! I haven't posted here in awhile.

Anyway, I was wondering if someone could give me some examples of those special 'objects' in japanese, for example:
1) yo - Expresses an excited phrase. Like (correct me if I'm wrong): "Ogenki desu yo!" [I'm doing great!]
2) ni - Expresses direction.
3) o - Politeness. "Ogenki desu ka?" from "Genki desu?"
4) no - Possessive. That's my dog would be "<dog> no <that is>."

I used to post here awhile ago. At any rate, I've joined a new school (I'm going to be 17 this Feburary!) , when I graduate from high school my parents are saving up (And I will be too when I get a job) for Tokyo Japan. I love Japans technology! It's far ahead of ours, and I'd love to go to a game store and look around what games haven't been released for the US. But to go there, I'd need to learn japanese.

I do know the basics. I have a few kana memorized.

:arghh:

Japanese Kanji is tough.

Well, you've answered some of your questions.
1: Just slap a "yo" at the end of (most) statements to show expressions.
2: Migi ni magaru (turn to the right).
3: Ogenki desuka? Ohisashiburi desu. Osashimi. Etc.
4: Watashi no inu is how to say "my dog".

February birthdays aren't bad. Mine's the ninth... although I won't be 17.

Regarding #1 and #3, don't add the "o" when referring to your own state of genkitude.
