Hi, guys!
Do you wanna learn Japanese?
I know ofcourse you do!
I make a suggestion the easy way to learn Japanese word from now on.
I will pick up one word a day and explain the meaning and suitable situation to use it. When you wanna know specific word, you can ask me as well.
I'm not a proffessional teacher, so I might'nt be able to give you complicated advice, but I believe it'll definitely be very helpful for you!
I have been learning second language(English) too, so I know the difficulties to learn second language.
Instead of this, please crrect my English if someone find any mistakes.
Thx!
Aya

Rozzie, thank u for joinning!
Let's start today's word.
「こんにちわ」"konnichiwa"
Probably you already know this word.
Yes, this word can be used for greeting.
The meaning is "Hello" or "Good afternoon".
Generally, we use this during daytime and when it is dark the word changes to 「こんばんわ」"konbanwa" "Good evening."
You can say this to anyone, for instance, family, the person who met first, neighbors and so on.
*General conversation*
「こんにちわ。今日もいい天気ですね。」
"konnichiwa. Kyo mo ii tenkidesune."
"Hello. Today is nice day too is'nt it?"

Well, that's really interesting!! I believe it will help a lot!!
Well, I have a question! But it's not about a certain word. I just wanted to ask u to explain how come some sentenses end with "no"...
ex. yotsu ha no kuroba wo mitsuketara, shiawase ni nareru no...
(if you find a four-leaf clover, it will bring happiness)

Hi, Elli! Sorry for my late reply.
Your understanding is correct.
In this case, you can also overwrite the 'no' as following sentences.
1. shiawase ni narerundesu.
2. shiawase ni naremasu.
These sentences have same meaning as the example you mentioned but if you say 'no' with the end of a verb, it sounds like more casual. In addition if you say this word with a rising intonation 'nareru no?' become a question.
Hope this could be your help.

No need to worry!!
Thank you very much! It was really helpful!!
Well I have lots of other questions, if you don't mind...
Actually, there's something that came up from your examples. I know that -masu is more polite but...What exactly is the -runda/-rundesu verb suffix?? Does it have a special meaning or it's something like "no".

Ahh!! I found another question, which I think (i said I THINK) is very hard for someone who doesn't know good japanese.. Well it's about the word "yuuei"(遊泳). I've found the kanji but I cannot find the meaning. It's from a song, by the way.. =P
When you log in, it'd be greatful if you could tell me, Aya!
Thanks!! ^^
