Minna-san, konnichiwa. ogenki desu ka? koukai wa mou saikai(correct)saseru koto ga aru dake janai. kono sure ni wa mo honyaku shiteru yo.

Here is the sentence:

This lady is the best, but I'm nothing but an inferior. She's rich.
What does this lady has that I don't?

The key sentence is "what does this lady has that I don't ?".
Can anyone translate this? Rei wo shiteimasu.
 
Funny, this just came up in another thread. Minna-san does not exist (except its use by foreigners); it's either mina-san or mina (I don't think this one's very common, though) or minna.

Don't you mean "what does this lady have that I don't?" Also, what are the two sentences before it supposed to mean? I don't really understand what you're asking for.

Sono onna no hito ha watashi ga motte inai nani wo motte imasuka? 😌
 
You presented the three sentences as a single paragraph. Don't blame Glenn if he read it the way you typed it.
 
edit: .... wrote something based on what I misunderstood. Sorry.
Oh, and the forum system asked me for more filler!!!
 
Dou itashimashite. Nihongo de kakemasuka? 😊
kakemasu=to ???????
Do you mean to "lack" nihongo, or to "write" nihongo? If you mean "write", iie nihongo wo kakekunai.
Oops, When I was typing, I though I was replying but I was making another post by mistake. gomen ne.

How can I delete a post? I don't see "delete" on it.

kakemasu = to be able to write
negative form is : kakenai
polite form: kakemasen

Edit button wo tsukatte kudasai. 😌
 
I couldn't be able to edit the last one because I was too late, so I made another one.

Here's the sentence:

Dai 1 bun: Pokemon sekai no wa shima wa futatsu de aru.

Dai 1 bun (English): In the Pokemon World, there are two Islands.

Dai 2 bun: ore ga micchigattara ore wo shirasete.

Dai 2 bun (English): If there is a mistake, let me know.

If I made a mistake let me know.

Dai 1 bun: Pokemon sekai no wa shima wa futatsu de aru.
ポケモンの世界には島が二つある。
Pokemon no sekai ni wa shima ga futatsu aru.
In the Pokemon World, there are two islands.

...or possibly:
ポケモンの世界は二つの島から成(な)っている。
Pokemon no sekai wa futatsu no shima kara natte iru.
The Pokemon World is made up of (or 'comprised of') two islands.

Iwark said:
Dai 2 bun: ore ga micchigattara ore wo shirasete.
Dai 2 bun (English): If there is a mistake, let me know.
Mistake is 'machigai' (that's a noun, the verb form would be 'machigau' or 'machigaeru'), not 'micchi'-anything.

間違いがあったら教えてください。
Machigai ga attara oshiete kudasai.
If there are any mistakes, please tell me.

In Japanese, you generally avoid using pronouns when it can be understood from context who you're talking about. Otherwise it sounds strange, like you're emphasizing yourself unnecessarily. ("If ***I*** make any mistakes, tell ***ME*** -- not anyone else, ***ME***!")

(But I'm not a native speaker and am open to corrections as well.)

Naruhodo. Doumo arigatou gozaiamsu.
 
Here is the next sentences:

Sentence 1. Grammar messed up and balls aren't counted in "ken".

Then what is the correct translation? Can you please tell me?

Anyway Here is another sentence :

Kono ge-mu wa saiaku mazue-=this game is the baddest.

If there is a mistake, let me know.

I could tell you. However I don't like to waste my time so I would like to know, and see demonstrated, that you are actually trying to learn Japanese in a sensible fashion.

'Baddest' means 'good' (in young person casual slang). 'saiaku mazue' is misspelled and doesn't have the same slang meaning.

I mean "worst" as in "the worst of all time"(saiaku saite-).

this game is the worstest=kono ge-mu wa saiaku saite-.

this game is the worstest=kono ge-mu wa saiaku saite-.

Both "saiaku" and "saitei" means the same, "worst".
You'd better use just one of them, if you just mean "worst", though "saiaku, saitei" is quite understandable.
 
Saiaku literally means "the worst" whereas saitei literally means "the lowest".

I often hear saitei used when referring to someone or something underhanded, like in "Man, that was low!" (Omae, saitei datta zo.)

I think that if you want to say that a game was the worst of all time, saiaku would be better, unless there's another nuance that you want to add.
