I see, thank you for clearing that up for me.
So that means 知らない's more polite form is 知りません?
わかりません is simply a polite form of わからない, thus, they are quite the same in meaning.
"To not know" would be more likely 知らない (depending on context, off course).
That's exactly わ + 濁点; voiced consonant mark. It's an interjection to show the speaker is more strongly surprised than when s/he says わー！！, and is sometimes used especially in manga.
Quamp> I can tell you that you will never seen anything like that for a test, so if you are just asking out of curiosity that's fine, but if you are seriously studying the language, knowing about the way stuff like that is written manga is not going to help get you a passing grade.

Note:
As pocopoco-san wrote, 誰も can be used also in an affirmative sentence with the particle が, but 誰でも might be more common in these days.
誰もが参加できる。 ＝ 誰でも参加できる。
（×誰も参加できる。）
Yeah, depending on the context, as always.

English lesson^^
This is more or less the breakdown in connotation:
Everyone/Anyone -- Sophisticated, distant, impersonal, vague (all)
Everybody/Anybody -- Colloquial, intimate, friendly strong (reinforces counting every individual separately), affirmative
I'm confused. Can you use it in a sentence please?:
せねば is ba form of which verb? 撃破せねばならない。
Yes.So that means 知らない's more polite form is 知りません?
せ; the imperfective form(the equivalent for pre-nai form in modern Japanese grammar) of the archaic/classical verb す（＝する）せねば is ba form of which verb? 撃破せねばならない。
You might really need to learn archaic/classical Japanese grammar.:emoji_blush:
帰らざるEr.. do I? It's just this one character that likes to use archaic grammar, he thinks he's special because he's an emperor...!:emoji_thinking:
お前、それはバラじゃないよ1. 今読んでる小説で、ある幼い少女はその祖父に庭で摘んだひなぎくをみせています。少女はこの花を「バラ」と呼んで、祖父は「そらおめぇバラじゃねぇ」と返事します。
ここに使われた「そらおめぇ」の意味がちゃんと分かりません。「それはお前」の省略だと思うけど、その場合に文章はあまり意味をなさないそうです。
（自分の感情を素直に表現するのが）不器用: To be not good at to express one's own emotions/feelings frankly2. I'm going to have to resort to English for this question. In the same novel, a young man is looking into his late brother's past. His brother never showed the young man any love; the man grew up thinking his brother hated him. For answers to his brother's behavior, the young man goes to his brother's fiancee. She seems surprised at the question. She then hands the man a letter his brother wrote (and never intended for him to see) that she believes contains some answers. She says:
「彼はいつもとても不器用だった。」
No matter where I look, 「不器用」 is always defined as some variation of "clumsy". That doesn't seem to make sense here, though; it seems like a total non sequitir. Does 「不器用」 have some other meaning of which I am unaware - "awkward with people", maybe - or does it refer solely to physical
clumsiness? Is there something I'm missing?

ほっとしたら: if I/someone felt relievedHi guys could you please help me translating this phrase

Thanks!
Just for my own practice, I was considering the two lines as a complete item.ほっとしたら: if I/someone felt relieved
ひょっとしたら: maybe
ほっといたら: if I left someone alone, if someone left me/someone else alone
These are all possible. Anyway, we need more context. We can't even understand if the subject is the speaker or not just from that.
What is the difference between me and dai (ordinal numbers). Also I have the same question about kai and do (once, twice, ...).

I might translate it as:It is ひょっとしたら at the beginning sorry
The context is a conversation between boyfriend and girlfriend , the guy being a bit jealous of the girls ex then he asks her , If your ex wanted to come back with you what would you do? She responds:
ひょっとしたら
あのひとのもとへ行ってたかもしれない
Sorry, but I wanted to ask about the usage. So when to use which. Or they are always interchangeable?窶禿 is suffix while 窶佚ｦ is prefix.What is the difference between me and dai (ordinal numbers). Also I have the same question about kai and do (once, twice, ...).
Thanks.
Dai is more for "large" entities like weeks of the month, rounds of a game or meeting, chapters of a book, business cycles, editions of a title (magazine, etc), articles of a treatise, constitution etc. and other random sets. It also sounds somewhat more formal.Sorry, but I wanted to ask about the usage. So when to use which. Or they are always interchangeable?
I would phrase it more as "Maybe I will go back to him". But yes, the gf is upping the stakes by bringing the EX in the equation. bf either has to call bluff, fold, or raise the stakes.I might translate it as:
"Well, maybe I did go back to him."
Probably she's annoyed with her boyfriend and is at this point trying to egg him on.
As for 目 vs 第, I don't think there's any explicit differences in meaning, but some items you use 第 and some you only use 目. 第一世界大戦, 安全第一、第三班, etc all use dai. 一つ目, 亀戸三ちょ目 (hope i got the street name right) are examples of 目. Anyone else got a definitive answer?Sorry, but I wanted to ask about the usage. So when to use which. Or they are always interchangeable?
Except that 行ってた is past tense.I would phrase it more as "Maybe I will go back to him". But yes, the gf is upping the stakes by bringing the EX in the equation. bf either has to call bluff, fold, or raise the stakes.
Except that 行ってた is past tense.
