But, you're _____ too. = Demo, anata mo _____ desu yo.

About the translation of yours, they wouldn't say something like that in Japanese because it's just not a Japanese expression. We would in English, but not in any other language. For "Right now, ____ is my all," I'm guessing you're meaning effort? So... Maybe you could say something like "Ima wa, ganbarimasu yo ne," which would mean "I'm doing my best now." I need the blanks to be filled in because I need context for translation.

Thanks. =]

The う prolongs the お. That just gives it a longer sound, and is rarely ever transliterated when learning words in ろーまじ. Even though the letters may be different to prolong a vowel, the sound doesn't change. It will not sound like "oh-ooh" but "Oh(long)".

I think the best way to write it out so it doesn't look weird or confusing with two vowels, just put a ^ over the letter.

ありがとう = Arigatô
ほんとう = Hontô
とうきょう = Tôkyô

That's just how the words are spelled.

To prolong:
え⇒　えい (けいたい [mobile])
い⇒　いい (いい [good])
お⇒　おう (ほっかいどう [Hokkaidô])

I don't think あ and う are ever really prolonged.

Hope this helped.


Good luck!

Ohhhh I cudnt see the funny characters at home...was wondering what the boxes were...I can see em now =D

Uhh, the sentence was taken from a manga, so it was acutally referring to a person. How would it go if the line was referring to a person? "Right now, ________ is my all".

Naze daremo iinai? Is that correct for, "why is no one here?"

^^ Akai no bara

Thats all I know how to say

Podarok sensei wa doko ni iru no? (I'm aware that sentence is gramatically incorrect)

Can't get my head round the grammar

When you try to get your head around the grammar, it's hard. But when you don't, it's not that hard.

Transliterate kudasai. RAW Japanese wa wakarimasen.

Anime desu. The ones dubbed in Japanese but subbed in english.

The only Korean I know are: oppa, sunbae, nuna, unni. And those I picked up from manwhas. -_-
