No. That's close to 何度も.これまでに何度となく議論されてきたことが。
Hi, I am having a bit of trouble figuring out what 何度となく actually mean.
Does it mean " no matter how many times"?
明日もしなければならない I think is a little strange without the object. But the first looks fine. やって見る is more like "have a go, do my best, try it out" etc.and also needs an object ? I've never heard just 絶対にやって見る. :?:Thanks for all the translation regarding the rising of the sun. They were all relevant and helpful as I can now use them in context.
Please help me with another phrase.
"I must do that too"
Is this right? 「あたしもそれをしなければならない」or just 「あたしもしなければならない」or 「あたしも絶対にやって見るよ」
I think "to sureba" is similar in structure to "to suru" and "nara" in making an assumption based on a hypothetical supposition or argument (IF/Say Bush DOES go....XYZ results) whereas "ikeba" is a little weaker I guess -- more assuming he will go, like "If he goes, it will send a clear message to the world." But either sentence is saying he has to be there for that to happen.ブッシュ大統領も開会式に行くとすれば、何らかの明確なメッセージを中国政府と世界に対して示さねばならなくなる。
Whether or not President Bush goes to the opening ceremony, he must somehow send a clear message to the Chinese government and the world.
行くとすれば and 行けば
What's the difference?

It may be slightly more 'colloquial' or indirect than 何度も I'm not sure, corresponding to "countless times" "scores of times" "many a time" "by the dozens/hundreds" etc. in English.これまでに何度となく議論されてきたことが。

何度となく = no matter how many times?
You know tha atashi isn't normally used by men, right ?Thanks for all the translation regarding the rising of the sun. They were all relevant and helpful as I can now use them in context.

Men say Ore and Boku. Women say Atashi and Atai.
Wat does the word because mean in Japanese?

How about shiriai no otoko no ko instead of 知っている男の子 (sounds like they still know a dead boy ??) ?? And nakunatta is probably better than shinda. or shinde iru.Thanks. Yup, I am writing it in the female voice.
Could you help me with another translation
How do I say "A boy they know died"
Would it be 彼らが知っている男の子は死んだ or maybe 彼に知られる男の子が死んだ
I'm confused by three things:
1. How do I mark the topic of this sentence, they boy who died
2. How do I modify the topic of the sentence, that is not just any boy, but they boy they know
3. What exactly is "they" in the sentence? The subject? The agent? Auxiliary something? I don't know the grammatical function of they so I can't look up what particle do I use to mark it and connect it to knowing the boy
After doing some digging, I found out these kind of sentences are relative clauses. However I haven't been able to get a clear explanation on how to construct relative clauses properly.

彼らの知っている男の子と女の子の家 (ie) はあの岡にあるThanks. So would this translations be correct?
A boy and girl they know have a house up on that hill (that as in a hill they were talking about previously)
彼らの知っている男の子と女の子の家 (ie) はあの岡にある
Rather than "have a house" (opposite of homeless ?), this is the construction at least I normally see.
taku/ie/uchi | Japan ForumI'm confused with ie and uchi. Which one refers to the physical building and which one refers to the "home".
Can't answer because it is an incomplete sentence. You've left out an important part that should follow ではなく .ここで問題なのは『いくつ正解したか』ではなく。
there is no right answer for this question?
The author does not say how many right answers there are and, for that matter, whether there is even one right answer. (The context, however, suggests, many similarities between the two languages, so there must be many.)ここで問題なのは『いくつ正解したか』ではなく。

There is no one correct answer is closer to as below.ここで問題なのは『いくつ正解したか』ではなく。

"stop by"は、「寄り道して, 寄る、立ち寄る」という意味。How do I express this kind of 'stop' in Japanese.
"I stopped by the shop to buy a pencil"
The stop here carries the implication that my visit to the shop was something I did while I was on my way to do something like.
The conversation could have been. "Sorry it took me so long to arrive, I had to stop by the shops to buy a pencil." Which shows I visited a shop while I was on my way to go to someplace.
The closest word my dictionary has is "立ち止まる" which doesn't seem like it can be used to mean any other thing than "stop walking and standstill before moving on".
Hello,
I'm a Dutch girl aged 20, and soon I would want to travel to Japan, but I do wanna learn the language first! I started with watching anime, so my Japanese is not really good.
I can only make sentences like: watashi wa croes soraida desu. or watashi wa dai jobu.. stuff like that..

thanks!
