Hey Nagoyankee,
That was a very interesting post and explained something I have been puzziling over the last few days. As I am new to Japanese, I am finding it hard to say sentences which seem to omit so much! I am finding it just as unnatural to say things like "kyoo oyogimasu" which is essentially "Today will swim" but really it means "I will swim today" or "I will go swimming today".
Crazy stuff, but very interesting!
