以下で here means "in the statement that follows だけど、".
以下 means the below.
追伸 （ついしん） is the equivalent to P.S.Quick question: is there something like P.S. in Japanese where you can add things you forgot at the end of a letter, blog, etc? I've started writing a blog, and at the end I always think of random irrelevant things I want to add. But I don't know if people normally do that, let alone if there's a specific term for it. I've been using そして...
Hey...it's Kevin !Would a kind person please translate this?
Hi my friend. How are you? Do you play video games? What's it like in japan? I've been collecting more united states coins lately, and practicing my magic tricks. What are you up to?
Thanks
The closest I've seen to what you're describing is one I use called "Kodansha's Basic English-Japanese Dictionary"Thanks, that's the kind of thing I was looking for. I've never actually heard にしては used, but it sounds like a much more common word, or at least a word with a greater range of uses, in the dictionary I am using. I wish there was a dictionary that had a word's usage score relative to other words with identical/similar meanings, or described exactly the kind of situations one word (or grammatical phrase) was used in over another. Obviously that kind of dictionary would be tough to write, especially since usage differs according to area and person, but I think it would be a useful supplement to the normal way of picking up usage, ie encountering material time after time after time in real situations....
Can someone please tell me how to translate this to Japanese? ^^;; I would do it but my Japanese is horrible....
"[insert number of days] days until Shin-chan's birthday!!!!"
THANK YOU!
冷たい露の滴る and 白い modifies 花びら.自分は首を前へ出して冷たい露の滴る、白い花びらに接吻した。
This is an sentence from a Natsume Souseki story. What confused me about the sentence is the "冷たい露の滴る、白い花びら" portion.
冷たい露の滴る花びら = Is this what it basically breaks down to? (The flower petals of the cold drop of dew). I haven't seen this type of sentence as far as I know in my level of study before.
Finally,
白い花びらに接吻した。 The "ni" here isn't indicating "on" but merely that he/she performed some kind of action to the flower petals. Thanks to anyone who can clear this up. I've been going over this for two months now, and this is one of the sentences in that story that I can't understand on my own.

冷たい露の滴る and 白い modifies 花びら.
冷たい露の滴る is "dripping with cold dews".
花びらに接吻した kissed the petal(s). に could mean direction, either touching (onto) or not (towards). In this case, the person kissed (touched his lips) so it is "on/onto" .

How to say cute affectionate things in Japanese | Japan ForumI'll expect from you guys.. yorushiku onegaitashimasu....
Hi guys.. please help me.. how do you say this in Japanese,,,
"Just trust me.. that's all I need.."
Thanks... minna yoroshiku ne!
What's the most poilte/common way to say somethign like:
My name is "John Smith," I have an interview with "Mr.Ishida" scheduled for 11o clock.
I have a job interview on Tuesday and I wanna say that right..but I'm not sure what you'd normally say when you arrive at an interview in Japanese...
Are there any other "set" phrases when entering/leaving and interview I ought to know?
Thanks Elizabeth. I missed this reply of yours.Geez...how is a Japanese supervisor expected to act ? Taking on that challenge as an outsider must be enough to dump any sane person into the depths of despair. :emoji_frowning2:
At least marrying into a foreign culture you can recognize the problems, try to iron out any differences and make the relationship work. But as a boss, the employees must be as uncertain of your expectations as you are being in the role just as you probably have no idea what they are honestly thinking.
There are at least a few others here, FrustratedDave, in a similar situation that I'm sure can feel your despair more personally....you may want to start a separate thread (if not forum....:emoji_blushjust for them. ::emoji_blush:
人生は、紆余曲折でいっぱいね。。
Although your situation sounds difficult to replicate exactly, DoctorP is one that comes to mind as perhaps the most regular foreign supervisor poster these days. I think he has about 75 employees. But yeah, start a thread and you may get a lot of strong advice from us minions on the receiving end or at the least suggestions of other forums that specialize in this population....Thanks Elzabeth. I missed this reply of yours.
You say there are others in the same situation? I would love to talk to them.
Sorry for the derail, carry on people.
I was wondering what are some normal casual ways to say "I hope something happens [for myself]"? I know といいんですが and putting かな at the end of something. Anything else? Thanks!
There's also a "short version" of なにかいいことが起こらないかなあ。Thanks a lot undrentide. Responses are so fast too
Sorry it was such a simple question, but I have a far way to go speaking casual Japanese. All my life I've been learning it in the classroom so...
