Christmas Card Translation

Beat2DX · 15 Jan 2009

Hello all,

For my elementary Japanese course, we recently exchanged holiday cards with a class in Japan. I can understand it for the most part, however try as I might, I can't seem to get a few parts. It's possible that I'm having trouble reading her handwriting and don't know have the vocabulary to figure it out from context, or I simply don't know enough to even look it up. Either way, any help would be much appreciated.

(Sorry, can't link due to post count.)

The two parts I'm having trouble with are by the frog and circled in red.

Thanks much, take care

Double check the address? What exactly do we need to add to the addy you posted?

I would love to help you but cannot get the url to open. It says it doesn't exist. Mind posting it as a thumbnail attachment?

I can see the image, a bit large, though.
1) わたし
2) だま

hope this helps

Hey, thank you very much. Sorry about the file size, I'll admit I just kinda threw it up in haste without any considerations of the sort. Also sorry to those who couldn't view it. I feel rather silly now after seeing what they are, but I suppose that's to be expected sometimes.

Again, thanks so much.

No problem. I was a little bit confused where the red circle was.
That's a nice present from her. As you might know, 五円[ごえん] "five yen" also means 御縁[ごえん] "bond/relation" as a kind of word play in this case.

Ah, I see. Such nuance would've been lost on me without your help, so once again, thanks.
