Oh, that's interesting. I've never heard あたし from older women. I don't know these characters but would say it may not be terribly common...:?

2 lady friends talking in a car:
今日は楽しかったなー
ドライブなんて初めてだったし
あら。あたしだって初めてよ。
女の人とドライブなんて
あれ？そうなの
うん。だって免許を取ったのも
響子が中学校に上がってからだし
Is she saying that she only got her license when kyoko (her daughter) entered junior high school? If it is that it doesn't make much sense, does it?
thanks

誰にも似てない夢の背中をDare ni mo nitenai yume no senaka wo.
What does it mean?
Believe Folder5 歌詞情報 - goo 音楽Ha, I thought it was "chasing down the back of a dream where I'm like no one else." If it's someone else's dream being modified by 似てない, though, shouldn't it be 誰のにも似てない夢? Hmm...
More of a grammatical confirmation thing but didn't want to make a seperate thread. It says in the book we're currently using that you can't use the shortened version of the causative with passive if the verb ends in す, so for example you can't say 話さされる, but in the manga Yotsuba one of the characters says
出さされました, so I'm guessing its ok maybe in terms of conversation but the grammer police frown upon it, would that be a correct assumption?
Cheers

What is the English equivalent of 何でしょか？e.g. (Noun)何でしょか. Thanks!
kotoristrife;661837 said:I'm just wondering if this term, 家族 , can also mean "people living together"---which is they don't need to be bound by blood --- though, I think that is the more common meaning.
I guess I'm just asking because there are numerous manga that have people living together call themselves family---like Love Hina, Ai Yori Aoshi, Pastel, etc.
I wouldn't call them "anata" unless you're trying to provoke the situation, but yes it's basically right. Angry at is basically the same as 私を怒っている (Angry with) but maybe better.I'm trying to ask someone if they are angry with me, is this sentence correct?
あなたは私に怒っている？

oh and SEYZJP, I'm not sure about the first one but #2 basically means unbelievable
and #3 is the state of being drunk, basically drunk.

Oh, yes. Sorry. I forgot. It is "ni taishite okoru/okotte" or "ni haru tattete ite" but "ni okoru/okotte iru" is likely a bit rare.Thanks both of you I appreciate it. Thanks Elizabeth for the advice I'll keep the あなた out of there then, I wouldn't want to make it worse .
