So how would you say like, "That sounds...."
for example:
A: Im eating ice cream.
B: omg I'm so hungry. ice cream sounds sooo good right now!
I was thinking maybe to use:
アイスクリームがおいしそうですよ。= the ice cream looks good.
アイスクリームがおいしいそうですよ。= i hear the ice creams good
however Im not sure if either of those have the same effect of "ice cream sounds delicious"
A: I'm eating ice cream.
B: omg I'm so hungry. ice cream sounds sooo good right now!
Maybe いく気がしない。 いく気になれない even 気がある ?? in place of the last one, though.You can just use ～たい. You could also tack on 何だか at the beginning and/or add 気分 at the end. Furthermore, try changing the cadence to たぁ~い / たいなぁ～, etc. to help giving your statements the same nuance as "I feel like...." .
I don't feel like going to school today.
今日は学校へ行きたくありません。
今日は学校へ行きたくないなぁ。
今日は何だか学校へ行きたくない。
今日は何だか学校へ行きたくない気分。
今日学校行きたくねぇ～。
9回間で投げきる does not make much sense. I suppose what you wanted to say would be 9回まで投げきる. If so, that is "to pitch into the 9th inning."Hi!
This is more of an English question than anything I suppose...
But I'm wondering what the correct English phrase is for ９回間で投げきる. This is a baseball phrase that refers to completing 9 innings (?), but I don't know anything about baseball so if someone could tell me what is usually used in English, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!

彼は電話をかけてくれかけた is grammatically correct, and exactly means "he nearly called me (for the sake of me, but in fact he didn't)." But it sounds a bit awkward to me. I would say 彼は電話をかけてくれようとした/かけようとしてくれた for the same situation.Hi everyones,
Can you teach me how to translate the following sentence:
彼は電話をかけてくれかけた。
According to my grammar book, it can be translated as "He nearly has called me" (but in fact he has not).
But one of my friends told me that it should be translated as "He has just called me" in which Vます～かけた has similar meaning as Vた～ばかりだ
Thank you.

Ha ha, again, Toritobe san, you are my savior. Actually, I tried to play with word when using example with 電話をかける。 But definitely I failed彼は電話をかけてくれかけた is grammatically correct, and exactly means "he nearly called me (for the sake of me, but in fact he didn't)." But it sounds a bit awkward to me. I would say 彼は電話をかけてくれようとした/かけようとしてくれた for the same situation.
"Pre masu-form of a verb + かけた" means "a movement/action was almost started" or "a movement/action was started and then stoped." Thus, the movement/action is not completed in both cases.
On the other hand, "ta-form of a verb + ばかりだ" means "a movement/action has just been finished/completed" or "it hasn't been long since a movement/action was finished/completed." They have different meanings.
彼は電話をかけてくれようとした/かけようとしてくれた That's interesting. Can these also give the feeling of "started and stopped" ? I mean not 彼は電話をかけてくれようとしたが。。。彼は電話をかけてくれかけた is grammatically correct, and exactly means "he nearly called me (for the sake of me, but in fact he didn't)." But it sounds a bit awkward to me. I would say 彼は電話をかけてくれようとした/かけようとしてくれた for the same situation.

Normally on this website, when you ask for a translation, no one will help you unless you've given it an honest try. So for future reference, if you ask for a translation, give it a try, even if you think its COMPLETELY wrong.
However, I'm stuck at school for the next hour and I need something to do in order to kill time, I can help you with those sentences with my best effort. Im going to edit your original sentences so you can get a better feel,okay? Might sound a bit repetative or textbook-y though haha.
also before I start, let it be known that in Japanese, the setence order is generally SOV ( subject object verb) whereas English is SVO. However its probably better and easier that the verb ALWAYS comes at the end of a setence/clause/etc. Also Japanese generally doesnt use pronouns. When you want to say he or she or you, you just say the persons name. Also its also quite common to leave out the subject of the subject, such as "I" in most of these setence , if it is known or obvious what the subject is.
The apple is red. = ringo wa akai desu.
This apple is Johns (apple). = kono ringo wa john-san no (ringo) desu.
I give John the apple. = (watashi wa) john-san ni ringo o agemasu.
I have to give Mary the apple. = (watashi wa) mary-san ni ringo o agenakute wa ikemasen.
I want to give the apple to Mary. = (watashi wa) mary-san ni ringo o agetai desu.
As for making the past tense, everythings the same except for the verb. Change "desu" to "deshita". Change "agemasu" to "agemashita". then change "ikemasen" to "ikemasen deshita".
Then finally the future is the same as the present tense. Actually there is no future, but when we would call the future they would use the present. You can add words like tomorrow (ashita), next week (raishuu), etc to show its in the future tense. I hope this helps!!!

"Volitional form of a volitional verb + とした" often implies that the doer didn't complete the action even if without an adversative conjunction.彼は電話をかけてくれようとした/かけようとしてくれた That's interesting. Can these also give the feeling of "started and stopped" ? I mean not 彼は電話をかけてくれようとしたが。。。
Whereas I guess 彼は電話をかけてくれかけた could definitely mean a process by which he actually began the call and it didn't complete. The basic idea was either something was interrupted or going to begin but never did.
もう一度、とりとりべさん、どうも！
It depends, of course. どんな（どの）ときでもくもはながれている. The clouds continue rolling no matter what (time/occasion) どんなときでも言える。Able to say any time...どんなときに使いますか？When do you use it ? etc.Hey! Quick question: what is the meaning of どんな時? At first it seems like "what kind of time/when", but that doesn't seem to make too much sense... at least in English. Anyhow, I've seen it used in a couple different situations, and I'm not sure what it means/conveys.I've tried looking it up, but no luck; maybe it's obvious and I'm just oblivious haha
よろしく
Regarding the word どんなとき、if I want to use it as a complaint, for example, "どんなときでも遊んでいる"-You play all the time, does it sound natural?It depends, of course. どんな（どの）ときでもくもはながれている.
