A member of these forums said he learned this sentence in only a few weeks or months, in his second semester of japanese in college, he made it sound like it was very easy to learn. I'm nwe to japanese and it is very confusing because it uses a condiational statement "if" and somehow means "more" as well (with the second kanji) which I have NO IDEA why.

The sentence means "Well, I think it's better, but..."

I'm just want to know if it was possible to laern this in only a few weeks, because he said it was so easy.

"ii" means good or is used as a request. The fisrt kanji Is "I" , the nextg one is nara which means "if.." kore no person (This person. How does this work? He metnions person yet he doesn't say it. I guses it got normalized?)

And finally kedo, "Although..." or but.

=========

I feel so terrible. I wish I could learn something this complex in a few weeks or a month.

I just should stop studying japanese, I obviously cant learn it well, or I would've known this already.

You misunderstood. I said this material is covered within the first 2 semesters of my college level Japanese class. That's a huge difference from a few weeks.

.

窶ー'- I
窶堙遺?堙ァ - can't explain this
窶堋ア窶堙ェ - this
窶堙 - of
窶「テサ - "way of doing"
窶堋ェ - Ga
窶堋「窶堋「 - good/better
窶堙?スv窶堋、 - "i think"
窶堋ッ窶堙?。"but"

I - this way of doing - good/better- i think.

Thank you, that makes alot of sense.

窶堙遺?堙ァ

This is what gets me. "Kara" , it can mean from, right? How does it mean "can't explain?"

Thanks

That's nara, not kara. Keep studying those hiragana.

MeAndroo, why are you so fast to jump on me?

I know my damn hiragana, it was a typo.

And what does "nara" mean then?
Last i heard, it was conditional, "if.." statement.

Who's jumping? I'm correcting. If you don't want corrections, I can deal with that. :-)
 
nara is kind of like "if it's the case." 俺なら is like "if it were I" or "if you're talking about me"

this and other forms are not the kind of things a student would learn in the first couple weeks of class. it's very important to get the basics down before you can create complex sentences.

Oh, okay. So I don't need to worry about it now? I'll probably laern it near the end of my first year.

Do you know how long college classes go on for?
Also, how long do I have to apply for a passport before I get it? I heard i gotta wait 6 months?
