Just so no one asks where it is, this would be my reaction ほら、 熊が来る。!
Just so no one asks where it is, this would be my reaction ほら、 熊が来る。!undrentide, ashikaga, thanks for the help! Seems so obvious now.
I can actually read that sentence! *High fives self*
This line by Dora-chan is not exactly text-book Japanese but there are two possibilities.じゃあ、何かこの雪が冷たくて気分が出れば、まじめに練習するのか？」
What does なにか mean here?
2. Nobita finally agrees to practice skiing and Doraemon says 「そうら、だんだん滑れるようになって来た。」
What does "そうら" mean?
I don't mean this to be offensive, but if installing a language pak in the language you're attempting to learn is too much of a difficult thing, the actual kanji is going to be your worst nightmare.
Kanji ni wa, yomikata ga onaji demo, imi no chigau mono ga takusan arukara ne...
Can someone tell me what アメリカ means please?
This line by Dora-chan is not exactly text-book Japanese but there are two possibilities.
1) じゃあ、何か（い）？この雪が冷たくて....
What(are you trying to say/do you mean)? You would practice if the snow was cold?
2) じゃあ、何かこの雪が冷たくて.....
So, if the snow was cold somehow / if the snow was cold or something,
you would practice?
そうら here means, " You see? ". It can be replaced by ほら/ほうら.
example : そうら/ほら、天気予報が言ったとおりに雨が降ったでしょう？
See? Like the forecast said, it rained.
Yes. That's right.Thanks, Ashikaga!
Please help me with the following:
1. Nobita's skating in the house.
Nobita: わ、わっ、動き出した。(Wow, I'm skating.)
Dora: そら、バランスをとって。(Hey, Balance.)
Is this the same そら as the one you mentioned above?
The same のに in 買ってもらえばいいのに. As ASHIKAGA explained, "it would be more danger to skate outdoors (than in the house), why did you say so?/why can't I skate here?"2.
Nobita's mother says: 家の中で、そんなものに乗る人がありますか。
Nobita says: 表のほうが、危ないのにな。
What's the function of "noni" in this sentence?
The pronoun の + the particle に.3. Nobita creates his own miniature town with lots of houses and says to his friends: どれでも好きな家を、自分のに決めていいよ。
What's the function of "noni" in this sentence? Is this a grammar pattern?

のに here is a contraction of のものに、as one's possession, as your own.
You can claim any house that you like as yours / You can pick any house you like.
Thanks for the help, guys! 本当に助かりました！
I kinda don't understand this. Is "の(もの) + に決める" some type of grammar structure? Can you give me some examples please?
Thanks in advance!
聞き賃 is correct.So, is it 聞き or 利き？
少しは = せめて少しくらいは、せめて少しだけでも1. Nobita's father says 少しは勉強しなさい。
Why does he use "は" here? Shouldn't it be like this 「（きみは）少し勉強しなさい。」 since the subject of the sentence is "you"?
the verb ある + the auxiliary verb まい + the particle し2. Because all his family members are nagging him to do this and that, Nobita gets frustrated and says: ほっといてほしいな！赤ん坊じゃ、あるまいし。
What does ありまいし mean? I couldn't find it in any dictionary, so is it a combination of two words?
This でも implies the speaker's doubt.3. So, Doraemon gives Nobita a hat that'll make him unnoticeable. Nobita asks: それをかぶると、透明人間にでもなるの？
Does でも mean "or something" here? Like in この喫茶店でコーヒーでもいかがですか？

Whmmm, indeed, this nuance as the speaker's doubt/banter/sarcasm that I felt might be from not the word でも itself but the sentence/context. But I think でも could be more often used to imply this nuance than か何か/かどこか.I think you have that right.
「退屈だな～。何もすることが無い。買い物にでも行こうかな～。」
I'm bored. I've got nothing to do. Maybe I will go shopping or something...
i-adjectives; ku-formHow would you say this in Japanese?
"I'm happy. But I'm also sad." and "The homework is hard. But it's also simple"
I'm not talking about the words, I just mean how do you use "too" with i & na adjective?
Like, I get how to use "too"
ex:
私は犬です。メアリーさんも犬です。
ジョンさんは東京に行きました。京都にも行きました。
私はアメリカ人です。日本人でもあります。
But how do you do it with the adjectives? Thanks in advance
i-adjectives; ku-form
幸せだけど、悲しくもあります。
高くもあります。
怖くもあります。
na-adjectives; the same as nouns
宿題は難しいけど、単純でもあります。
きれいでもあります。
静かでもあります。
Right.1. What's the difference between よす and やめとく？
e.g. Doraemon says けど。。。よしたほうがいいな
and in another scene: だから、やめとけといったのに
They seem to mean about the same thing, right?
Are there any differences?
つっころばす(突っ転ばす); the euphonic change of 突き転ばす = 突いて、転ばす/転ばせる2. Referring to Suneo & Gian, Nobita says: こいつら、きのうも学校で、ぼくをつっころばしたんだ。
What does "つっころばす" mean?
こら！僕！3. Nobita goes back in time to when his grandma (who died when he was in kindergarten) was still alive and taking care of him. Here's the dialogue:
LITTLE NOBITA: おばあちゃん、花火かってきてくれた？
GRANDMA: ごめんよ。町中のおもちゃ屋さんを探したんだけどね。花火は夏しか売ってないんだって。
LITTLE NOBITA: いやだい、いやだい、花火がほしいんだい。おばあちゃん嫌いだ。あっちへいけっ。
GRANDMA: はいはい。
BIG NOBITA: こらぼく！おばあちゃんをいじめるな。
What does "koraboku" mean?
