To My Japanese Speaking F-List

[pigrescuer]

Can anybody tell me what this means (I can't type in hiragana, sorry):

iikotomo waruikotomo kaitekudasai.

I know the last bit is ''please write.''

This is what comes of writing down essay titles and not finding out what they mean.

PS LOL at the spellchecker's suggestions for the Japanese words. waruikotomo = rectum, apparently.

Maybe your essay is about rectums.

Hm. It's possible but I doubt it. I took the bit out of context - the beginning says 'The First Day of School. What did you do? What did you think?'

Also, hi! :D

But the ii and warui thing makes a lot of sense. So it's about good and bad something.

What if we parse it as:

ii (good)/warui(bad) koto (thing/experience) mo (also)

So like, The First Day of School. What did you do? What did you think? Please write about the good stuff and the bad stuff.

P.S. I only took Japanese for one year, six years ago, so this is fairly wild guessing, although I did use aviam's helpful dictionary to make sure that the translations of the individual parts were correct.

PR!! Hello :D

Eh, my Japanese is terrible, but I'll see what the JP-speaking members of my family say.

Also, LOOK! Look at my ICON! I fixed it!! Feel free to steal, if you want it :D

lol, thanks. Slightly late now since that was about a month ago, but I thank you for your concern.

:D Gorgeous icon.
