私は、より良いチケットを手に入れようとするでしょう 。 私はこのチケットから小さい部屋に入るのことがで きるだけです。

When you want to express your wish to do something in the future, the Japanese don't use ～とするでしょう. It means that you are projecting it is likely to happen. In Japanese, you say:Damicci said:私は、より良いチケットを手に入れようとするでしょう。

Angel of Ten said:Can I translate this sentence - "It's possible." as
1. 可能なことです。
2. 可能である。
or there is a special phrase for that?
There is also ありえる （ありえない） which is a very general reply for "It's possible" and easy to use since it doesn't need to take a particle or verb.Glenn said:I usually end up with その可能性もある or something like that for "there's that possibility." If I had to guess which is better for your case I would go with a variant of number 2, but I'm also curious to know what a native speaker would say.
I would say:ryuhei69 said:May I get some help with these?
1. Are you surprised?
Anatano Eigo wa warukunaidesuyo. Demo, futsuu Eigo dewa Mr. wo zutto tsukaitsuzukerukoto wa arimasen. Chotto katakurushiku kikoemasunode. John de iidesu.2. Your English is not bad.. but we usually don't keep calling everyone Mr in English all the time. It sounds too formal! John will do.
Hazukashigaranaide kudasai. はずかしがらないで ください。3. Don't be embarrassed.
It is tricky....可能です and 可能がある along with various other miscellaneous phrasings are often also possible.Angel of Ten said:Thank you! The fact that it's such a short phrase that gave me so many troubles made me think I should go back to Japan really soon

ところで、「ありえる」より「可能性」はすこし改まった感じがしますか？
「ありえる」という表現は友達同士でも普通に使うね。
そうですね。文法のほかにも日本語で断片的な文章やは難しいことの一つですね。ralian said:I think so, Elizabeth. 「可能性」sounds more formal.
「ありえる」is more conversational, perhaps because it's shorter.
短いから、会話でいいやすい、という事が関係しているかもね。
日本人は、単語を縮めるのが好きですから．．．
ああそうですか？英文を注意してくださいね。pipokun said:文章なら問題無いと思います。
会話は、省略するのに、文章は回りくどくなる時が多いかもしれない。英語は、もっと回りくどく表現したいのですが。

私は、より（ｏｒもっと）良いチケットを手に入れようと思います。
If you want to stress the "future", say:
今度は、より（もっと）良いチケットを手に入れようと思います。
HTH! (And I love your Neko-chan, too!)

Since "Toki" isn't used with the て form, I think する時(は) is OK, on the other hand perhaps した時 since your friend will come after you've left. :? I would also wonder about choosing ga over wa 友達が given that your friend is the object of discussion....And this is probably just a simple typo, but the correct patterns are as such : ネコの世話をする （または、ネコを世話する）。。そして旅行をして時友達は私の猫世話をするんだ。

Damicciさんは、 留守中（留守の間に）ネコを友達に預かってもらうと書きましたね。
でも、友達に留守番をしてもらっても、彼女はそのネコを持ち逃げしたら、
全く同情の余地はありませんね。
(Even if your friend is housesitting, when she runs off with the cat there will be no room for sympathy, ne....):sorry:

誰も知ることのない青い星をゆらゆら泳いでく。
I'm pretty sure it means something along the lines of "No one knows that I swim waveringly through the blue stars" (mostly thanks to other people's translations) but I don't really understand the grammar of "daremo shiru koto no nai". Is this a relative clause? If "koto" is a nominalizer for "shiru", why is there also a "no" that follows it (isn't that also a nominalizer?). Arigatou.
