Dimension ๅฏธๆณ is clearer than size in my estimation. Also you may want to preface each of the ไฝใปใณใ with ้ทใใๅน ใ้ซใ (not exactly the proper terminology maybe, but it should do in a pinch).Bucko said:Hi everyone,
I'm wanting to buy an item from a Japanese seller online, however before I buy it I need to know what the dimensions of the box that it will be sent in will be. I sent him the following email, but for future reference, could you let me know if I got it right or not?

Basically it's meant to say, "what are the dimensions of the parcel? (what cm x what cm x what cm). I'm in Japan, but I need to know because I'll be sending it to a foreign country."
Please let me know he'll understand just what I mean!
Although "Uchi (or ie) no souji wo tetsudatte kurete hontou ni arigatou gozaimasu." I think is perfect.Buntaro said:iroirona,
Most of the people on this Forum are very helpful and kind. However, when you hear somebody say something unkind, just put that person on your Ignore List. That is the best way to handle it.
Your translation is very good. There are many ways to say it. I would say,
Ouchi no souji ni tetsudatte kuremashite, hontou ni, arigatou gozaimasu.
I would also probably throw in something like
Hontou ni tasukemashita.
Also, that should be tasukarimashita.Buntaro said:I would also probably throw in something like

GoldCoinLover said:From the plan form of 'to go', I think its iku, then drop the "u" and add "i" to conjugate it to something like "ikimasu", or "ikimasen"
Mcdonalds ga ikimasu.
Today I am going to McDonalds.
Mcdonalds ga ikimasen deshita.
I did not go to McDonalds.
(May have gotten the particles wrong here)
But there's also "itte".
How would I use "itte"?
I heard "itte" is the "te" form and it is very important.
Thank you.
You did. Now that you have a textbook, it might have been a good idea to look over the lesson(s) on particles before posting those sentences.GoldCoinLover said:(May have gotten the particles wrong here)
$1000 says that there's a lesson (or multiple lessons) covering the -te form in your textbook. That might be a good place to look.GoldCoinLover said:But there's also "itte".

Thank you.
Yes, it's the structure used when you introduce the name of a person.Damicci said:Ponbiki(pimp) ha SlickBack toiu(called) desu.

To be more precise, it should be: Ponbiki(Pimp) wa Slickback to iimasu. (The pimp's name is SlickBack.)
No, actually, that would be a sentence that translates basically to "The pimp is named Slickback."J44xm said:ใฟใใชใใใใใจใใ It's a name from a television series and I was quite curious about how this would translate to Japanese.

Just thought I should clarify that. The topic here may be a bit frivolous, but the grammatical concept (the difference between a complete sentence and a noun phrase) is a fairly important point.epigene said:Quite a few odd questions today!
ๅฝๅmeans to "give a person/object a name" as for naming a baby or a ship.
I think it should be simpler:

You said,
"Sorry, just picking nits here."
--> It is quite all right. As long as we get it right, that is the only thing that matters.
Not too long ago, I went over this construction: ๅใๆธใใๆ็ดใ (Sorry, I forgot its name.) But after hearing this name, I became intent on figuring out how it would be represented in Japanese (as I'm wont to do) because I knew it would involve some very useful principles that I needed to study.
