If something is wrong please explain why it is wrong.

Translated through babel fish.

I know what its supposed to mean. I'm the one that wrote it lol. I want to know if its grammatically correct before I try to learn more difficult aspects of the language.

カエルが木を食べるとき、葉を食べるも。

Oh god the Japanophiles.

lol Thats funny and all but since it translates right with google translator I doubt it would make any sense to someone who speaks Japanese because the sentence structure is very different.



I hate to disappoint you but I'm not wapanese. I rarely watch anime and once I learn the basics of the language on my own I will take a college level class. I just want to learn another language and I have no desire to learn a European language because I want to learn a language of another culture. The only languages I would have any desire to learn are Japanese, arabic, and Spanish in that order.

I know japanese sounds really cool but both arabic (25) & spanish (21) are spoken by many countries .

arabic is spoken by more than 280 million people as a first language and by 250 million more as a second language.

if u wrote it in hiragana i could tell u if its correct, half of the kanji i cant read/forgot sooo

Korera hana wa akaku arimasen. Aoi desu.
*Fine*

Onnanoko no handobaggu wa kuroi ja arimasen.
Handobaggu no Onnanoko wa kuroi dewa arimasen.
(They way you wrote it read "the girl of the bag," so just switch those around to make it make sense. Also, since you're speaking politely, use "desu" forms).

Shiro desu.
Shiroi desu.

Kore tatemono wa chairo desu.
*Fine*

Midori ja arimasen.
Midori dewa arimasen.


Korera Ie wa shiraku arimasen. Akai desu. Kore kuruma kuroi desu.
*Fine*

Aoi ja arimasen.
Aoi dewa arimasen.

Desudesudesudesudesudesudesu.

finally a legit learner. Way too many losers out there who say 'neko' and 'kawaii' and claim to speak japanese. They need to shut the fuck up.

Last time i checked my history book it said Spanish was an european language

Good luck learning japanese, it's always hard to learn a new language. I'm sure it will take time but you won't regret it.

From what I've had the time to scan through, the 'corrections' he/she is presenting are wrong. I'll post corrections when I get off work (and get around to it).

Well, I haven't had to use japanese in years, but from what I was presented, the corrections I gave don't appear to be wrong. I'll be appreciative if you can pinpoint where I exactly doing things wrong?

Korera Hana wa akaku arimasen.
Korera - these
hana - flower(s)
akai - red (adjectives drop the -i on the end and add a -ku in the negative adjectival verbal forms, resulting in akaku arimasen).

Handobaggu no Onna no ko wa kuroku arimasen.
Onna no ko (just combine to Onnanoko) - lit. female child
no - preposition (in this use, it's for "of")
handobaggu - handbag
wa - preposition (subject marker)
kuroi - black (adjective, noticeable because of the -i endings 'usually')
*noticed my mistake, forgot to use the -ku, etc.*

Shiroi desu.
Shiroi - white
desu - to be

Midori dewa arimasen.
Midori - green (irregular adjective; so far I've never seen the -ku form used with this word. I've always heard it used midori dewa nai/arimasen)

Aoku arimasen.
Aoi - Blue (drop the -i, and add -ku nai/arimasen)
*fixed that mistake, forgot to use the -ku*

You stole my witty comment

you do know that japanese is impossible to comprehend without kanji?

lol impossible to read.. not impossible to speak. im taking it at my university over 4 years.. then im moving to osaka after school. i understand hiragana katakana and a bunch of kanji its just over the summer i havent practiced the kanji so i forgot a lot of them but starting next week i'll have a review session to refresh my mind.
