A)オレが亜豆にアドレス聞いといてやるよ
B)いいよ。 そんなことしたら情けない男って思われる。
A)(Something about azuki's email address)
B)Its okay. If you do that kind of thing she'll think im pathetic。
Whats with the 聞いといてやるよ Part?
Random jumping in here. I looked up yaru, since I didn't knwo I meant "to give" or in the case, "to blahblah for you". It said to use it to someone inferior to you, or animals, etc?? or something...
遣る 【やる】 (v5r,vt) (1) (uk) (col) to do; (2) (often 犯る) to have sexual intercourse; (3) (often 殺る) to kill; (4) to give (to inferiors, animals, etc.); (aux-v) (5) to do for (inferiors); (6) (See 使いにやる) to send (e.g. somebody somewhere); to dispatch (e.g. letter) (despatch); (7) to move (something to); to row (a boat); (8) (used in place of other verb) to have (eat, drink, smoke); to study; to run or operate (a restaurant); (P) [V][Ex][G][GI][S ][A]
Yeah, so is that true?[/S]
Sorry for the double post!
I have a question, i saw this on a japanese website, i am not getting this or is it totally incorrect?
"It's that simple. This means that if you for instance ask a question like "what is that over there?", you cannot use は: you are the only one that knows what you may be talking about. "
Wouldnt you use "は" to establish the subject/topic/we?
"Similarly, if you say "I saw a movie today", nobody knows you did until after you say it, so it cannot be a topic yet, so you cannot use は."
What?, this is making me way confused ahahahaa...
Probably the source is here, the chapter "confusing が and は."Sorry for the double post!

Yeah that's the site. I don't think that's right anyways, I'll just steer clear of that website.Probably the source is here, the chapter "confusing が and は."
That seems incorrct, as ASHIKAGA wrote, or at least too much rough. When the speaker says あれは何ですか/今日は映画を見ました, あれ/今日 becomes the topic. Thus, you can use は whether or not the listner(s) knows what you will talk about.
You don't need always to use 一緒に. The particle と itself implies the meaning "with" in that sentence. However, there are some cases that the meaning is changed depending on whether or not using 一緒に.One more question (also from that website! Sorry):
兄さんと銀行に行った。
He says you can use this to say
I did ____ with _____.
I thought you always thought you had to use 一緒に?

兄さんとけんかした。
兄さんと一緒にけんかした。
The former means "I fought against my brother," whereas the latter can mean "my brother and I fought against (someone.)" Some verbs, 会う, 話す, 結婚する, 約束する, etc., take the particle と as the direct object marker, that's the case you need to pay attention. ;-)
Like: 昨日、山田さんと話しました。 ?
また会おうと山田さんと約束しました。How does 約束 work?
「____」と約束した。 ?
~させてもらう is the humble expression of する, that is, 見させてもらった means 見た with connoting "I'm sorry but" in that sentence.皆が帰った後悪いが見させてもらった。
After everyone returned home, It was bad, but i received the thing of being forced/allowed to see it?
The contraction of では. この学校の中では亜豆美保(あずきみほ)いいよな。大人しいから目立ったないけど、この学校じゃダントツだ。
What is the じゃ doing?
No, that's quite natural.これは必ず取りに戻って来ると思った。で、おまえを待ってた。
おまえを持ってた This looks odd to me
In addition to my previous post, the order of the words also changes the meaning of the sentence.
僕は兄さんと銀行に行った。
兄さんと僕は銀行に行った。
(Roughly, the first と is for "with," the second と for "and.")
While the former is same as the one without 僕は, the latter can be used as "they went to the bank separately."
一緒に removes this ambiguity.
僕は兄さんと一緒に銀行に行った。
兄さんと僕は一緒に銀行に行った。
The both sentences are the same, "my brother and I went to the bank together."
また会おうと山田さんと約束しました。
I promised Mr.Yamada to meet again.
(The first と is the particle for the quotation.)
As you can see, the verbs 会う, 話す, 結婚する, 約束する require the person to do the action with. In the case of that the particle に is used instead of と, it suggests the action is unilateral.
彼女は犬に話した。
彼女は犬と話した。
The former means she talked to the dog unilaterally, whereas the latter does she and the dog talked each other, thus, she was able to understand the dog's words.
~させてもらう is the humble expression of する, that is, 見させてもらった means 見た with connoting "I'm sorry but" in that sentence.
The contraction of では. この学校の中では
Oh no i totally got the てた As ていた The part that didnt make sense to me was the お前を. Its sounds like "I've been waiting you"No, that's quite natural.
お前を待って(い)た。: I've been waiting for you. (te-form + いる: to continue the action/keep the state)
I hope this long reply not to confuse you.
Yes.So I could say
悪いが食べさせてもらった。
to mean "I'm sorry but I ate (it)"?
Ah, I see. But that sentence is totally correct. Someoneを待つ is same as someoneが来るのを待つ "to wait for someone to come." This expression is commonly used.Oh no I totally got the てた As ていた The part that didnt make sense to me was the お前を. Its sounds like "I've been waiting you"
