I need an opinion, this is a phrase that was written to a girl, which of them sounds more natural poetic and overall better?
僕は時々時間が戻ったらと思うときがある。二人でいれたあのときに・・・。今は思い出なんて消えてしまえばいいと努力してるけど忘れられない。あのときに戻りたい。あなたの気持ちを感じることとの出来たあのときに。

I like this one.
With a little bit of change, it will sound pretty good.
Instead of 「二人でいれた」「二人でいた」
「思い出を消そうと努力してるけど」
「感じることの出来た」

More opinions?

pipokun · 7 Jul 2005

Really nice.

1st one
ただ…俺はお前の心を…お前の恋を…もう一度、何度も感じられたい。
In this sentence, the subject is 俺, and the verb is 感じxx
I don't think this sentence is the passive form. So the verb is 感じたい。

2nd one
あなたの気持ちを感じることとの出来たあのときに。
you don't need と, just typo, isn't it?

NeoXtremeX · 7 Jul 2005

Thanks pipokun, but you forgot to tell me which of them you think is better?

pipokun · 7 Jul 2005

well... the 1st one, for it looks more original.

Damn here I am learning basics and you guys read kanji & hiranga? Jealous I am...

hi everyone

just a quick question

グジグジ（する）って．．
．．いったい何でしょうか？

Anybody heard of it? Gujiguji. Looks like it's probably a gitaigo/giongo, and from googling it and just the way it sounds, I'm pretty sure it has to do with making a fuss, making a big deal out of things, being too sad, etc etc... it's something undesirable for sure, but I've never seen it before, so would like to pinpoint a definite meaning, if anyone knows.

TIA peoples

Konnichiwa :

I have a couple of sentences that i didn't get the exact meaning of .. i wonder if u can help me with it :

kore kara saki konna kirameku konna mune ga takanaru
omoi wo ikutsu kanjiteiku to omou?

nanka chotto tanoshii nanka sugoku ureshii
kimi to kansei shiteku

the two sentences in red are quite odd to me... and the ones in blue...do they mean>>

somehow, it's a little bit wonderful, somehow, I'm so happy
because with you, I am complete

it's a part of a song by the way... am still a beginner :emoji_frowning2: .. i hope one day i can understand japanese very well... this is my dream :emoji_frowning2:

You're right. I suppose it is a negative onomatopoeia and that it is the state where you are dwelling on the past too much or you are tied to one's past too much.
別れたボーイフレンドの事を、いつまでもグジグジ言ってもしょうがない。

I suppose douzo is a relatively polite and useful expression, and you can hear it most when someone recommends you to do something.
So you can use it for others, but not for yourself.

where is everybody??

Thank you pipokun, that was just the kind of confirmation I was looking for.

Hmm douzo is used when it's all about being polite to whomever you're speaking to. For instance one could translate it (depending on context as), "please do", "by all means", "go ahead"... In many circumstances it indicates that the speaker is allowing someone to do something or encouraging them to do something, in politeness and humility.

kore kara saki konna kirameku konna mune ga takanaru
omoi wo ikutsu kanjiteiku to omou?

nanka chotto tanoshii nanka sugoku ureshii

The red one is : From now on, how many times can you feel (stand to feel) so excited/stimulated (probably at seeing your young lover/on a first date etc).

The first part of the blue translation is OK I think -- but kimi to kansei shiteku
sounds more like we will complete each other (which hasn't happened yet).

これから先、こんなきらめくこんな胸が高鳴る
Hereafter, this (kind of) sparkling, (this kind of) quick beats of my heart
思いをいくつ感じていくと思う？
How many do feelings (which have properties of the previous sentence: relative clause) do you think you will have?

Thought I'd break the sentences down a little for you, Butterfly-chan.

Arigato Elizabeth and rafe

As you pointed out there is no need to repeat 「思う」.
How about:
私が思うに、人は言えばわかってくれるんじゃないかな。
私が思うに、人は言えばわかってくれるのではないだろうか。
I tried to keep the original wording.

This is one of those sentences that is really difficult to get my mind around in Japanese....If a person is able to say it, *I think* (as a fellow human being, other people) will try and understand. みたいな感じです Why can't you just say "it will probably be understood" using the passive tense ?

I didn't understand this ... am still waaaaaaay behind in the letters part.... I hardly can understand some words (from watching anime )
and only when it's written in the English format.... ☝

Thank you ...

pika la · 12 Jul 2005

What does this mean ? "uchi"
My penpal wrote it a million times in her letter.. I'm guessing it means "Me/I" ? She's from Nara... she uses so many words I dont understand ><; Is it Osaka-ben, or...? ^^;

Glenn · 12 Jul 2005

In Kansai (from what I've heard), uchi is the first person pronoun, yes. I take it you also know its more standard uses.

pika la · 12 Jul 2005

un~ Thanks for confirming ^^

pika la · 13 Jul 2005

Another thing!!! This is based on "hearing" so it could be wrong.. But people say what sounds like this a lot..

すごいじゃん
生姜内じゃん
いいちゃうよ

And how to say "Where should I put my stuff?" and "I hate not being able to meet you"

Butterfly-Chan · 13 Jul 2005

Konnichiwa
