You're an inspiration. Well done to you.

I just thought of the following question today while picking up some items at Sunkus, the convenience store nearest me (only about 30 steps away from home). Give it your best shot, SHAD0W!
What do these sentences mean?
ミサさんはかわいそうだ。
ミサさんはかわいいそうだ。
|
ミサさんはかわいそうだ - Poor Misa / I feel sorry for Misa
ミサさんはかわいいそうだ - Sounds like Misa is cute.
I learned the difference between these the hard way while in Japan. A friend of the family was telling me how her grandchildren were enjoying elementary school. I told her I felt sorry for them..
Oops.
