東京の生活は may be OK. But would sound awkward if it might even suggest you are implying that Tokyo has a life independent of the people...Yeah, I'm really sorry. Your sentences are what I meant to put, but if we pretend (and I'm sorry we've been doing that for the past two examples of mine) that they are all separate sentences, do they work?
NYCは東京のような市です。
NYCは東京のように高い建物があります。
東京の生活はNYCのように忙しいです。
The first one you got right.東京のでの？ and いそがしいの？I understand the de is a marker, but no? in the first sentence it could be tokyo (location) 's ?
It is neutral in gender and formal, used in formal speech and in writing.Ahh, it's comparable to んです。Is it for females only like わね or is it universal like よ?
昨夜食べ過ぎたので、おなかが痛いのです。
市 refers to "city" as an administrative unit. 都市 or 街[まち] is used for "city" as a general meaning.NYCは東京のような市です。
No. ～んです is used to explain the reason in this case. So if your (not-so-close) friend say "What's wrong?" to you, you can use 昨夜食べ過ぎたので/昨夜食べ過ぎて、おなかが痛いんです as the answer.if I said 昨夜食べ過ぎたので、おなかが痛いんです would it be more towards a family?
Yes, Toritoribe-san is right. I apologize for giving you the impression that ﾂ〜窶堙ｱ窶堙??堋ｷ is as colloquial as 窶堙ｭ窶堙 and 窶堙ｦ .No. ﾂ〜窶堙ｱ窶堙??堋ｷ is used to explain the reason in this case. So if your (not-so-close) friend say "What's wrong?" to you, you can use ﾂ催ｰ窶禿ｩﾂ食窶堙冷?ｰﾃ溪?堋ｬ窶堋ｽ窶堙娯?堙?ﾂ催ｰ窶禿ｩﾂ食窶堙冷?ｰﾃ溪?堋ｬ窶堙?、窶堋ｨ窶堙遺?堋ｩ窶堋ｪ窶凖俄?堋｢窶堙ｱ窶堙??堋ｷ as the answer.

I should have said it is "more colloquial" compared to ﾂ〜窶堙娯?堙??堋ｷ
It's an issue of "relative proximity" between the speaker and the listener.
This also makes sense.I think you can keep it simple and say just 窶堋ｨ窶堙遺?堋ｩ窶堋ｪ窶凖俄?堋ｭ窶堙遺?堙ｨ窶堙懌?堋ｵ窶堋ｽ .... ;-)

It's fine; when I get up to it I will definitely ask. You could give me another example if you wanted!

Tokoro can only be used immediately (fairly shortly) following the verb +ing. Which makes it more limited in time. Plus, potentially indicating both place and time.お風呂に入ったばかり、勉強しているところです。Is there any difference between お風呂に入ったばかり and お風呂に入ったところ？
I don't know any restrictions on Bakari. Tokoro is more like "just now" with the timing of at that instant or quite recently. Similar to "tatta/chotto ima."I see. So you would most likely use 窶堙寂?堋ｩ窶堙ｨ to say that you did something regarding yesterday, whereas if you just got back from eating lunch, you may want to use 窶堙??堋ｱ窶堙ｫﾂ。Thank you! They had similar indications in the book.
Hm, I see...well, I'll have to read more examples of it in my book and hopefully be able to make a decision. Also, I remember ところ from back when we were discussing ドアが開けている and ドアが開いている...this post or this one, definitely.
所で，を練習した，もう５００回のを練習しなければならない！
By the way, I reviewed until about 300 posts the last time, I have more than 500 more to go!
(I'm a little iffie on the last part, and the counters.)
The past two pages have really flown by, it's amazing how quickly you guys respond!
First things first:お風呂に入ったばかり、勉強しているところです。Is there any difference between お風呂に入ったばかり and お風呂に入ったところ？
The first one is wrong.ドアが開けている and ドアが開いている
As epigene-san explained, ～たばかり is used in the "to have just done something, so..." context.Is there any difference between お風呂に入ったばかり and お風呂に入ったところ？
The conjunction ところで is generally written in hiragana. The kanji 所 is basically used as the meaning of "place."所で，ポストを３００回を練習した，もう５００回のを練習しなければならない！
By the way, I reviewed until about 300 posts the last time, I have more than 500 more to go!
I don't like to correct too much at one sitting...is it overwhelming ?? But besides as tori mentioned, there are a couple more options for "post."Hm, I see...well, I'll have to read more examples of it in my book and hopefully be able to make a decision. Also, I remember ところ from back when we were discussing ドアが開けている and ドアが開いている...this post or this one, definitely.

The difference between お風呂に入ったばかり and お風呂に入ったところ would be that the former is very often used to say it emphatically.
お風呂に入ったばかりなので、外出はできません。
(Sorry to say) I can't go out now because I just took a bath. (Maybe your hair is still wet, still feeling hot from the bath, etc.)
ドアを開けている
の relates two concepts, "around/about the time" and "just came to Japan," but not as a possessive, by demarking the time as recent. Similar to 日本語を始めてすぐの頃は, 子供の頃は etc.
There is no possibility to act a nominalizer because ばかり is a particle, it isn't following after an adjective or verb.
I wonder why you think these are possessive?I'm afraid I'm still a bit lost. I interpreted this sentence as:
日本語を始めてすぐの頃は,
Lit: Japanese language's start time, around.
As a possessive.
子供の頃は
Child's time, around.
But these are possessive. :?
食べたばかりのころは，
Around the time I recently ate? (Recently ate's time)
Thank you for your help and I will read the post, epigene.
Yes, correct!Wait, I knew about ので and から. But her sentence was
NYCのように東京での生活は(本当に)忙しいのです
During which I was confused on the last part, but I read on the site it's like you said, it is んです, an explanatory? So it's kind of like saying, because?
