ところで、この「過ぎない」自体には特に意味合いはないですね。 Undrentideさんがいったとおり、
語尾の助詞（ね、よ。。。）によりますね。
皆さん、二日酔いになるまで飲み過ぎないように注意しましょう！
ところで、この「過ぎない」自体には特に意味合いはないですね。 Undrentideさんがいったとおり、I take everything you guys say seriously and with full regard, if it causes offense then it comes before grammar. Of course I'm happy it was gramatically correct, but I also need to make sure that I'm not offending people. suginai seems more discrectionary than judgemental.
女らしい、男ならは皆さん、二日酔いになるまで飲み過ぎないように注意し ましょう！
Hey guys. I just wanted to tell you I'm not going to be here very much for the next some weeks. I think it's obvious why in this pic:
Before I do vanish, I'd hope that this thread doesn't die. I still need to review a bunch of posts and I'd like to come back to see my many mistakes on the following pictures. I tried to decipher the texts and this is what I got:
Japanese: けんきゅう に かね を だす もの すき を さがして てんてん と しておいました
English translation: Research money out things like look for travel (something). I think it means, I like to travel and go out looking for money for research.
Japanese: この ぶれいもの
I don't understand why it's bureimono, I thought it would be mureisha.
English: This ungrateful person!
Japanese: ５００ねん いじょうむかし の こぶんしょ を かいどくするに ふたつ の たんご を しばしば みつける こと が できる
English:500 years with above old times' old writing write decipher do, two simple words (vocab?) again and again discovered (I don't understand why koto is in this) can. I think it means: that I deciphered a 500-year-old writing and discovered two words over and over again.
Japanese: また むずかしい ごほん を よんでいたの
English: again difficult book have read. I think this was also easy, but the -ita at the end makes me think it has to do with 'recently read (past tense)'. I also read in genki that females are allowed to use go-(noun) like gohon, and they can also use a no at the end of a sentence.
To combine, to tie with a knot, to attach.Japanese: むすびつける
English: The only thing I can come up with is: tie attach.
Well then, where in this place is my (or some person's) room?Japanese:
それじゃあ、これの どこに あたし の おへや は あるの
English: there then, this (I think it was in a hotel, sorry I had to cut it off) where at my room is?
Japanese: もう 8 ねん まえ に なる の かしら
English: Already 8 years before has become, I wonder. Or: I wonder, has it already been 8 years?
Japanese: ガイア の なか から そら を みる
なかなか わるくない もの です ぞ
English: Gaia's center from sky see. By no means is it evil.
Japanese: げんざい の せいかいりつ は100%!
English: I have no idea at all. I found through WWWJDIC (like most here) the first two are "as of now", and the three make no sense to me. Taken apart, i found it meant "correct percentage". So: As of now, the correct percentage is 100%!
in this sentence, 物好き＝物好きな人, a person who likes strange things / has strange taste / are very curious.Japanese: けんきゅう に かね を だす もの ずき を さがして てんてん と しておりました
正解 ＝ correct answerJapanese: げんざい の せいかいりつ は100%!
Koto in this sense is attached to the set "dict. verb + koto ga dekiru" which is the same as the potential form of the verb (rareru form).
Could it have been kore no de doko ni... but they left out the de? Or is that sentence good?Well then, where in this place is my (or some person's) room?
Time to break out the Genki I book, haha.Mou only means already if its attached a verb of the perfect tense (-ta or mashita). If its atttached to an imperfect verb then it takes the meaning of "almost". So this sentence is more like:
"Has it almost been 8 years?"
Hmm, I learned some new stuff. Thanks for correcting the hiragana, same with Kira, but I really thought that ri was an i.in this sentence, 物好き＝物好きな人, a person who likes strange things / has strange taste / are very curious.
Oh, and it is pronounced monoZuki.
I see, I get what you mean. I went to WWWJDIC to translate this なかなか and I saw: "by no means (with negative verb);" so I thought since the "evil/bad" is in negative, "by no means bad thing isn't". Roughly, the roughest translation, I think I did alright.My perspective on this line is that 悪くないもの refers to the act of watching the sky from Gaia (Earth) and he's understating the awesomeness of the event. So he's commenting on his feelings as he watches the sky, much like how someone would say when he is watching the sunrise from the top of Mount Everest, that kind of feeling.
正解率 is tough to translate into purely english terms, since 正解 means correct answer and 率 means percentage. The closest word is "accuracy", the most accurate phrase would be "percentage of questions you got correct".
正解 ＝ correct answer
率 = rate
Let us say you took a test and you got 8 questions correct out of 10. Your 正解率, then, is 80%.
You can't say これのでどこに. This の is a particle not a pronoun. これの is qualifying どこ.Could it have been kore no de doko ni... but they left out the de? Or is that sentence good?
悪くない is not "negative." It's close to 良い. So なかなか doesn't mean "ny no means" in that sentence.;-)I went to WWWJDIC to translate this なかなか and I saw: "by no means (with negative verb);" so I thought since the "evil/bad" is in negative, "by no means bad thing isn't". Roughly, the roughest translation, I think I did alright.
なかなか as #2 in WWWJDIC is used to express a thing/situation is hardly fulfilled, and connotes that that state has nagative meaning for the speaker.isn't warukunai the negative form? Unless it means a negative verb altogether.
なかなか悪くない is similar to 意外にいい, "unexpectedly good" or "not bad after all," as neokai-san translated.Also, does nakanaka in this sense mean "Not too much"?
「けっこういい」、「意外にいい・（といい？）」、「案外いい」などと同じような言い方でしょう。。。plus, it's always used with a verb to descrive some kind of change/movement. 悪くない is exactly a negative form, but expresses a state, not a change/movement. So, it means #1 in wwwjdic (very; considerably; easily; readily; fairly; quite; highly; rather) in that sentence.

Could it be "soon/almost" or "another" in this sentence ?? My interpretration was also for "already." At least that's usually how it has worked for もう～～なる。:?

彼女がここで働いてもう二ヶ月になる。 She's been working here for 2 months already.

The economy is slow to recover.

And I believe this still implies "Already 1:00."I think in english saying almost or already X amount of years are fairly close in meaning. I sort of interpreted naru as having not completely passed 8 years yet so mou became "almost" for me. I think "almost x years" and "already x years" have fairly close meanings anyway so...i just went with what i thought because when you say things like "Mou ichi ji desu yo!" it takes on the meaning of "almost" as in "Its almost 1 o clock!"
do dishes : 皿を洗う、食器を洗う
So 「～てあげる」 form is?
皿を洗うってあげました?
Looks like I missed a bunch, I'll have to review the ones I typed more thoroughly. Thank you so far!
No. The problem is #2 and 5. The rests are just tiny things.;-)Looks like I missed a bunch, I'll have to review the ones I typed more thoroughly. Thank you so far!

very close
皿を洗って(あらって）あげました。
Toritoribe;640943 said:And (お)皿洗いをする before either (of those)?
皿洗い （さらあらい) ＝ washing dishes, dish washing, dishes, cleaning, wash 'em up..Ah yeah, I left that u in there instead of deleting it.
Thanks, I'm double checkin' my ones that I re-did now to make sure it's all good.
I don't understand this one, perhaps I didn't get to this part of grammar? It looks like the verb stem form of arau, then o suru?
