Seiza
In Japanese, the word Seiza is made up of the characters for Correct and Sit and refers to the position used in a tea ceremony and in Zen meditation.

It involves folding the lower legs under your thighs, and if you're not used to it, it can be very uncomfortable if maintained for prolonged periods.

Negima! Vol 5.

Mhm. I had a tea ceremony in Japanese class one year. It was fun. I was in Kimono, couldn't breathe because my chest was constricted by the obi, and I nearly fell over. xD

Why thank joo. >w<

Ya know. . I really do like asking questions in japanese. Just the way it sounds . . <33

Nan desu ka?
[What is it?]
Doko desu ka?
[Where is it?]
Dare desu ka?
[Who is it?]
Itte[sp?] desu ka?
[When is it?]


I just love it. >w<

Now if I were to say "What is [adjitive]?"
Would it be:

  • Kawaii wa nan desu ka?
  • Nan wa nan desu ka?
  • Other

I don't know how to use
-ga
-wa
-kara
-de
-mo

etc yet. ; ~ ; I'm a bit confused about them.

It would be Itsu desuka? not Itte desuka. :3
An example of using itsu would be:

Kimi no tanjoubi wa itsu desuka? (When is your birthday?)

And the proper way to answer it would be like this

Jibun no tanjoubi wa nigatsu juuhachinichi desu (My birthday is the 18th of February)

As for adjectives, you can't place them in a nan desuka sentence. It's only particularly used for object identification.

IE

"Kore wa, nan desuka?" (What is this?)
"Kore wa, fudebako desu." (This is a pencil case.)

ga- usually to indicate "about something" (Okashi ga suki! = I like candy)
wa - common object particle. (Kore wa, anata wa, etc.)
Kara- specifying from. ( Rasu begasu ni kara kimashita - I come from Las Vegas)
De- I forget, actually, I need to find my japanese dictionary.
Mo - also (Kimi mo = You too)

You're right on some of them, but wrong on a few.
Shadow is actually Kagi or Kage, I can't figure out which.
Hebi is snake.

Everything that you wanted I have done. You asked that child be taken, I took him. You cowered before me and I was frightening.



I laughed at the origami shuriken. xD

Octopus is pronounced tako...so is Kite.


I have reordered time, I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?
