I might want to say （私は）、その会社は日本へ自動車を輸出したい（だろう）と思います （したがっていると思います）
Or maybe 私は can go after the したいと、but either are probably fine.
I also don't understand the difference between 前に、前は well and have seen both used in these situations. At least you do need a past tense, though. That much at least I'm sure.Hi Everyone,
I recently came into a situation where I wanted to say something along the lines of:
"I used to play that game 4 hours a day"
I was thinking
小さい時には、いつも毎日四時間ぐらいこのゲームをする。
but that's "when I was small", not "I used to"..
so yeah, I'm kinda confused.. what's the best way to do this?
thanks!
Thanks Elizabeth! Really helpful!I also don't understand the difference between 前に、前は well and have seen both used in these situations. At least you do need a past tense, though. That much at least I'm sure.
前に （前は、昔は？）、毎日（一日）四時間ぐらいこのゲームをしました。
やった!Thanks Elizabeth! Really helpful!
前はこのところへよく行ってた。
This is only a guess. In particular, I didn't know what I should use for 'unsettling.' 不安（ふあん）にさせることができます。 is a try saying 'can make you insecure.'"Dreams that do come true can be as unsettling as those that don't."
More naturally I would translate as "I got tired of calling," "I have called so much, I never want to do it again" ?i have a few questions:
1.飽きる程電話した
I called until I got tired of calling.
How else would you use 飽きる程？or just hodo? could you say 飽きる程食べる？
I would be interested in hearing some ideas too. The only patterns I know how to use are "by no means," "not in the least..." 決して。。。ない or maybe"In no way shape or form do I think you are an idiot" The last part is only added to give you an idea I what I am trying to get across, it is the "in no way shape or form" part that I am interested in.
Hello
Just two quick questions.
1. What is the hiragana for 母似 and 父似?
2. What is the hiragana for 入り？ (It is encountered on packaging, such as 'something is included in this snack')
Thank you in advance. It would be great help.
Those "counters" are called 助数詞（じょすうし）.Perhaps asking about 一応 was a difficult first question. Here's an easy one then: what is the term for 'counter.' Ie, the counter for animals is 匹the counter for deer is 頭, etc. Is there a set word that means counter that will make asking about them easier?
I imagine I could say something like, 何々は どうやって数えればいいでしょうか , and then when i get the look of bewilderment, say, 例えば、動物を数えれば、一匹、二匹などで。。。
But is there a word that means counter? And is there an easy, standard way to ask, for example, what the counter is for small plants?
魚は一尾、二尾って数えるけど、イカはどうやって数え るんだっけ？
Hahaha... I know you know I know!一杯、二杯…
I know you know, but just couldn't resist...
え？？, I didn't realize there were at least three for fish! That's really overkill, so to speak eh ?There are so many of 助数詞, sometimes even natives do not know... in such a situation, I would ask my friend just as you do:
魚は一尾、二尾って数えるけど、イカはどうやって数えるんだっけ？
No.1 has been answered by Elizabeth-sani have a few questions:
1.飽きる程 電話した
I called until I got tired of calling.
How else would you use 飽きる程？or just hodo? could you say 飽きる程 食べる？
2. 人々はゲームに飽きるわけです
People get tired of the game.
why is there "wake"? does it just add emphasis? How would you translate it with "wake"?
3. 時を 越えるたび 気づくね
whenever time passes, i realize that
why is there a "ne"?
sorry, am i asking too much?
It's a very slight emphasis on the reason they are acting tired, "Certainly/It's that people get tired of the game" I wouldn't try translating in this case, though.2. 人々はゲームに飽きるわけです
People get tired of the game.
why is there "wake"? does it just add emphasis? How would you translate it with "wake"?
Why not a "ne"? Whenever you go over the time, someone notices, isn't that right ? Don't you think ? It could be used for something the other person already knows or should know or simply works to soften the statement.3. 時を 越えるたび 気づくね
whenever time passes, i realize that

「ここ最近、あまり来ていないねお客さん。」
「ああそうね。まあ、しかしうちの店だけじゃない。ゲーセンだって、何ヶ月前までは客でいっぱいで、一時間ほど待たないと入れないほどだけど、今となっては誰一人入りはしない。人々はゲームに飽きるわけですよ。」
「それじゃ、アニメにしようよ、ア ニ メ。ゲームソフトよりはましだと思うわ。」
So, it maybe translated like this " It tells us that people get tired of game"

So, I'll try answer the rest two.
Let me make a story from the sentence in the #2 question you posted.
「ここ最近、あまり来ていないねお客さん。」
「ああそうね。まあ、しかしうちの店だけじゃない。ゲーセンだって、何ヶ月前までは客でいっぱいで、一時間ほど待たないと入れないほどだけど、今となっては誰一人入りはしない。人々はゲームに飽きるわけですよ。」
「それじゃ、アニメにしようよ、ア ニ メ。ゲームソフトよりはましだと思うわ。」
So, it maybe translated like this " It tells us that people get tired of game"
Alright, I'm going to try to translate it, but please wait for a proper translation. This attempt is more practice for me than anything else.
A: There just haven't been many customers coming recently, have there?
B: Tell me about it. But, it hasn't just been our store. (A game called or a place called, I can't really tell) Gessen had so many customers for a while there (some months) that people would have to wait an hour to get in, but now no one comes to play. I guess that means people got tired of the game. (This tells us that people got tired of the game.)
