Welcome to the forum!

Here's your first lesson: it's "Minasan". "Everyone" is "min'na", and you add a "san" but "min'nasan" gets contracted to "minasan".

Wakarimasuka?

 

[blackorchid]

wakatteiru na~, demo, chigautoomotteiru. i have never heard of such a contraction. besides, it's silly to correct the romanji spelling of japanese words since it is really not spelled either "minna" nor "min'na" I can't imput the hiragana to spell it for you, but i think your distinction is silly.

 

[Golgo_13]

Have it your way. But you're the one who's gonna sound silly by saying "minnasan".

Trust me on this, it's "minasan". Ask Elizabeth or anyone else here.
