Why is the subject in the middle? I saw this answer online, and now I`m really confused :S "I often ate hamburgers when I was a child" in Japanese would be: 子供のとき、「私は」よくハンバーガーを食べました。 Kodomo no toki, [watashi wa] yoku hanbaagaa wo tabemashita. -Why doesn`t "watashi" stand in first?

私のしゅうまつ あなたは、しゅうまつ、何をしましたか。 しゅうまつは家で日本語をべんきょうしました、と　えいが　カタリナさんと　を　みました、とお姉さんに行きました、と日日本語の音楽　を　聞きました。 -Ｃould Ｉ use　も instead? if so, where? :D

are my translations correct? English to Japanese 1.Would you like to see a movie tonight? - 今晩　は　えいが　を　みませんか。 3. I`m going to study a little bit of Japanese today -　私は　今日　日本語　を　べんきょうします。 4. I usually get up at about 6 -　私は　たいてい　ろくじ　ごろ　おきます。 5. Mr. Yamashita usually goes to bed at 11 o`clock - やました　さん　は　じゅういちじ　に　ねます。 6.Takeshi sometimes drinks coffee at that cafe - たけし　さん　は　ときどき　あの　きっさてん　で　こおひい　を　のみます。

are my translations correct? are my translations correct? Japanese to English 1. あなたの　がっこう　に　なに　が　ありますか。- what is your school? 2. デパアと　に　なに　が　ありますか。-what is a departmentstore? ３．この　きょうしつ　に　あれ　が　いまうすか。-who`s classroom is this? ４．どうぶつえん　に　何　が　ありますか。what is a zoo? 5.明日　アルバイト　が　ありますか. -Do you have work tomorrow? ６．おんがく　は　何　ききますか。- what kind of music do you often listen to?

Random questions Do you use ni when you use こんばん and いま？ Are these translations correct? -I get up at about 6 every day: 私わ　毎日　ごろ　ろくじ　に　おきます -I studdy at home at about 5 every day:　私は　毎日　ごじ　ごろ　うち　で　べんきょうします

Are these senteces correrct? I don`t eat luch at school=　がっこう　で　ひるごはん　を　たべません I usually eat breakfast every day= まいにち　たいでい　あさごはん　を　たべます I allso read that "classical music" means "クラシック" So if I were to say " I listen to classical music", could I say "クラシック　を　聞きます" Or should I use おんがく? Thank you ^^

How do I order food? I listened to a dialouge in the Genki work book, and it went like this: -Takeshi: udon wa roppyaku en desu. -Mary: jaa, watashi wa udon -Takeshi: jaa, watashi mo -would it sound rude if you said "watashi wa udon" to a waiter? -If so, should you use "udon o kudasai" or "udon kudasai" ? -Could you just point at the menu and say "kore Kudasai/ kore o kudasai"? -And if I put a "desu" at the ending of Mary`s sentece, would it mean "I am udon"?- just curious ^^

Genki-example.....does the sentece sound unnatural? nanji goro okimasuka hachiji goro okimasu- This sounds so unnatural O-o You woudn`t answer that question in englsih by saying : I go to bed at about 11`clock. You`d say: At about 11 (o`clock) So do Japanese people actually talk like this?

how do i translate these sentence? ^^ do you read magazines? yes, every day= "ee, mainichi yomimas" or "ee, mainichi zasshi o yomimas" I go to bed at about 11 every day= "juuichi ji goro maiban ni nemasu" or "maiban wa juuichi ji goro nemasu" how do I say: "Tomorrow morning I am going to read a book"? - "Ashita konban wa hon o yomimas"? Could I say "Do you eat breakfast every day?" Like this: " mainichi asagohan o yomimasuka"? thank you so much in advance ^^ hope it`s not too messy o_o
