So instead of going to bed LIKE I SHOULD HAVE. I've been sitting here listening to my japanese cd thing. And this part has always bothered me. Ive listened to this whole thing 4 or 5 times now... and I could never figure this one part out. I even wrote a note in my notebook that says I have no idea what shes talking about because I cant find

there is no S on its own in japanese...so its tasukeru
hmm i dont know why...but both seem to work
I can find results for both words...
助かりました and 助けました seem to mean the same thing...but I dont know why...
though I get cooler pics with tasukarimashita
there are more pics of saved ducklings and stuff like that ahhahhha
google translator said: tasukemashita means helped
and tasukarimashita means survived

You can find meanings for both? See I cant type in kanji... and I only know two anyway (the one for watashi and the one for mountain lol) so when I google a word or look it up in the dictionary I can only use the romaji. I can find both in google... but I cant find a single word in my japanese to english dictionary that starts tasuka- in the dictionary. just tasukeru... but yeah its too confusing!!! lol. I'll figure it out one day... like 60 years from now. /headdesk.
TY!!

PFFT You are helping me, simply by having someone to throw ideas back and forth with. Even if we are wrong, eventually I'll figure it out! lol! And that websites helpful! Thank you!!!

Yeah I'm pretty sure shes not saying tasuke arimashita. If I were to write it as she says it, she says "ta-s-ka-ri-ma-sh-ta" And we know theres no S on its own so it has to be su. Its probably some rule on how to change words to mean something. Maybe its one of those levels of politeness things I'm still trying learn. I'm fairly sure the root word is tasukeru. At least that makes the most sense to me... I have no problem with the word itself. I just have this weird need to break down words and Understand the roots of them. It makes it easier for me to learn how to conjugate them later, and how to use them ><

Thank you for helping, even if you feel like you havent, you have!!
