@覚さんへ。

I have one question and some other things.

Quote:
(From “How I was astonished recently.”)
This was the premise upon which their discussion was based.
Can I say this?
Their discussion was based upon this premise.
What is the difference?

Quote:
(From “Why Japan prefers a monocultural sociery.)
Yuri: Yes. In addition, our culture and spirit is different from yours; so when you behave ordinary, sometimes we can’t help feeling you are cowards because we do not have the culture of debate [not exactly sure what you mean here, perhaps elaborate a bit?]. I think Japanese people sometimes feel we have been argued down by foreign people.
I’m sorry; I have used a wrong word. It was not “cowards”, but “aggressive” or “forceful”.
Does this make sense?


From my previous post.
I forgot to say that men can add ね at the end of their words.
I will tell you how to add ね next time!

See you soon!


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
