I have a question about two types of Japanese words in general:
1. Words like "desu" and "imasu"
2. Words like "hajimemashite" and "soshite"
Okay, I know that desu the -u is silent (at least at the end of a scentence, so is it the same with "imasu," and other words with u's at the end of them?
Also, I know that you kind of skip the "i" in hajimemashite (right?), so do you do that too in "soshite" and "doushite?"
ありがとう
