The word "with" has a lot of meanings as well as "on", "in", et cetera.
So I have a question. :-(

(1)"You have fun with that. That's great."
(2)"A:Hey, I'm playing basketball. B:You have fun with that.
:?

Is the meaning ツ「窶堋?窶堙遺?堋ス窶堙坂?堋サ窶堙固?y窶堋オ窶堙昶?堙ーナスツ昶?堙≫?堙??堋「窶堙ゥツ」?
 
I think it's more like (窶堋サ窶堙ェ窶堙ー)ナ?y窶堋オ窶堙ア窶堙??堙?

It sounds more like a light imperative to me, though. That would be more like "you are having fun with that." To me, the dialogue sounds like, "I'm going to do X." "Have fun."
 
Thank you for your help, Glenn and Golgo.

My dictionary says ツ「ツ(窶慊ケ窶ケテッツ・ナスティ窶冓ツ)ツ・ツ・ツ・窶堙?、ツ・ツ・ツ・窶堙ー窶廃窶堋「窶堙?」
So I think it means "窶堋?窶堙遺?堋ス窶堙坂?堋サ窶堙ェ窶堙?(窶堙ー窶廃窶堋「窶堙?)ナ?y窶堋オ窶堙ア窶堙??堋「窶堙ゥツ。" Maybe. (^^;;

Hmm... A: What do you have fun with? B: I have fun with cooking.
A: What are you going to have fun with? B: I'm going to fun with playing tennis.
How are their sentences? (^^;;;

imperative(noun) = 窶「K窶牌ツ、窶ケ`窶督ア
light(abjective) = ナ馳窶堋「ツ、ナ?y窶堙
 
It totally depends on the context. Generally speaking "You're having fun with that. That's great." is better if the other person has already been involved in the activity for some time. "You have fun with that." is good if the person hasn't started or is still just at the novice stage.

I see. Thank you for your help, Elizabeth.
 
BTW, Mac,

Can you pronounce "with" properly?
 
The reason that I chose wo is because "having fun with tennis" is the same thing as "enjoying tennis" to me, and the "with" is just a sort of lighthearted word that's thrown in there to either make the statement comical or sarcastic (I guess usually sarcastic). E.g. "I'm going to the dentist to get a tooth pulled." "You have fun with that." I think that if you use de then it has to mean something like "having fun with a ball," i.e. playing with a ball and enjoying it.
 
Can '(Sore wa?) sore de tanoshinderu' be thought of more like 'having fun doing it like that' or 'have fun in that way' (?) As 'sore de ii' is 'it is fine like that,' or 'that would be fine'.

Hmm It was so difficult to translate.
I think I made a lot of mistakes in my sentences which I translated.
Thank you, Golgo, Glenn and Elizabeth.
But I got confused a little bit. I'm going to read it again later.

I've also heard "amyuuzumento paaku" being used, but "teema paaku" must be easier for them to say.

I don't know what's wrong with "Yuuenchi".

My mother was so upset when the national railroad began using "JR" in the late 1980s. She kept saying "What's wrong with 'Kokutetsu'?"
