意味的にはほとんど同じですが、価格のほうがformalで書き言葉的ですね。「値段」と「価格」の違いは何ですか？
以来=来 ?? しっかり発音しない人もいますからね。この三年来 could be acceptable, but ～来(e.g. 昨年来, 先月来, 昨日来, etc.) basically means "since then till now" as same as 以来.
Uh, no, the expression ～来 officially exists. It's mainly used in written words, though.以来=来 ?? しっかり発音しない人もいますからね。:emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Ooooh, you're right, of course ! I've only been away too long. But I don't feel as crazy after asking a Japanese friend this morning and he didn't remember either. :emoji_blush:Uh, no, the expression ～来 officially exists. It's mainly used in written words, though.
Whmmm, 3年前から日本語を勉強していない might be grammatically correct, but sounds odd to me. 3年間 is far more common.もう一つ
三年前から、（今まで） 日本語勉強することない。
まし is the na-adjective to mean "better." That's similar to いい, but often connotes a nuance "unsatisfactory but better" or "less unsatisfactory."そんなことをするくらいなら死んだ方がましだ。
あんな男の下で働くくらいなら乞食になった方がましだ。
can someone please explain to me the structure and meaning of 方がましだ. is it a verb?
日本語を勉強して以来3年たちました。 (3年が経過した。...)Whmmm, 3年前から日本語を勉強していない might be grammatically correct, but sounds odd to me. 3年間 is far more common.
The both sentenses just say "I studied Japanese three years ago," so do not express what the speaker did since then. Especially, the first one could be interpreted as "I've been studying Japanese for the past three years."日本語を勉強して以来3年たちました。 (3年が経過した。...)
この前日本語を勉強してから3年になります。
文法的には正しいと思います。??
oh, OK. Thanks ! Common English is almost always interchangable in basic meaning with "It's been 3 years since I studied Japanese," "It's been 3 years since I last studied Japanese" and "I haven't studied Japanese for 3 years." It's only the nuance of each that becomes increasingly negative.The both sentenses just say "I studied Japanese three years ago," so do not express what the speaker did since then. Especially, the first one could be interpreted as "I've been studying Japanese for the past three years."
最後に would be needed.
最後に日本語を勉強してから3年たちました/になります。
For "my ordinary day would be..." do I say watashi no futsuu no hi or futsuu no nichi?
Thanks
"Futsuu no hi" is fine. Normally w/out "mine," or "watashi," though. What did you want to use this for ?For "my ordinary day would be..." do I say watashi no futsuu no hi or futsuu no nichi?
Thanks
価格 I think also sometimes gets closer to the underlying value （あいたい） or appraised worth of a commodity, whereas 値段 refers to simply retail/market price, cost to consumer etc. Maybe that is where part of the 'formal' comes from.「値段」と「価格」の違いは何ですか？
Apparently polite forms are useful for making 15 character minimum posts.
How about this?My interpretation is "I just have to laugh. I am just totally astonished/appalled/disgusted/dumbfounded/shocked" etc (Anything -- just not a weak AMAZEMENT)
---
「怒るというより笑ってしまうくらい、ただただあきれる」
Whmmm, I think 値段 would be rather used for "value" or 価値, as in ものの値段を知らない. 価格 is basically used only for "price." Or, did you mix them up?;-)価格 I think also sometimes gets closer to the underlying value （あいたい） or appraised worth of a commodity, whereas 値段 refers to simply retail/market price, cost to consumer etc. Maybe that is where part of the 'formal' comes from.
Oh, man ! Business is boring ! I'll never be a mogul, now !How about this?
"I more am just totally shocked almost laughingly than get angly."

One piece of equipment being installed or attached in place of another, maybe ?代って取り付けられています。
does this mean change and replace?

Hey, no problem. Bring that sentence back when you have it.Sorry I didn't get back sooner. Basically I was giving an account of what one of my ordinary days would consist of, so I was going for like "In an ordinary day, I would get up around 8am, eat Bran Flakes etc..."
Thanks for answering
