just thought that Japanese are usually very polite.. so usually, the first meeting (to strangers/superiors) are always formal?

Well, it's different with age groups and situation. One is almost always formal when meeting someone older than them, but not their same age unless it's a formal situation. (Meaning, if your first meeting is at a bar or social event, that is much different than if your first meeting is at work or school.)

Something like - "That 'I Love You' that sounds like a lie"

konnichiwa, watashi no namae wa _____ desu. Ogenki desuka? shiriau koto ga dekite ureshii desu. Ja ne

correct me if I'm wrong..

pretty much that's what i'm looking for..thnx =D dont know why..i just had the urge to learn the greeting XD
also, i think pronounciation is a common problem for many non-jap..sometimes you just dont know how to say a certain word, even if it's already spelled out XD

ah ok, that makes sense! Thanks

NEW ONE::

what does this mean?
Kami-sama kudaranai nante iwanaide kudasai .. Kono negai

moezychan · « **Reply #146 on:** November 04 2005, 12:42 pm »

I can't translate the entire quote

but I know that Kami-sama means God, and kudasai means please.

Sakaki · « **Reply #147 on:** November 04 2005, 12:49 pm »

I think this is close, Vex-kun. It came from animelyrics.com
http://www.animelyrics.com/jpop/sakamoto/doreddo39.htm

Oh God! Please don't say that this request is worthless.

I would translate negai as wish though.

THANK YOU!!

and.. what about

Kimi wa hitori jyanai

Sakaki · « **Reply #149 on:** November 04 2005, 01:32 pm »

Should be:
You are not alone.

Can someone tell me how to say, "I hope you write back soon", or something similar, in japanese?
Pen pal for a school project.

augustserenade · « **Reply #151 on:** December 12 2005, 04:03 pm »

This is probably a waay late reply for that school project of yours, but I found something kind of similar to "I hope you write back soon." ^^;;;

Ohenji omachi shite orimasu. - I look forward to hearing from you.

And here are other phrases for writing letters in Japanese from About: Expressions used in Japanese Letters

suu_no_clover · « **Reply #152 on:** December 23 2005, 03:50 pm »

Thanks, hoshisenshi! I'll use it next time I write a reply! ^^

Yay! XD Arigato! Also, if you need it in Japanese text here it is in hiragana: むすこ　 in kanji: 息子 and in katakana (though I don't know why you'd need it in katakana...):　ムスコ

Arigatou, but I just needed the word. That was very helpful. You're always so helpful Yuki-chan!

Hay, can someone tell me what is omoshiroi?

jocelin · « **Reply #159 on:** January 26 2006, 11:04 pm »

I think it means "interesting".
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
