"20 years old" is an exception to how you count age. It is pronounced はたち (hatati).

ユングさんははたちです（か）。

I think people are used to working in the forums as opposed to PMs, unless this is something terribly embarrassing. Generally the rule around here is try once to translate what you want to say and then we'll help you from there.

Try it yourself first and we can make corrections. You will not accomplish anything if we just give you the answer. The act of using a dictionary and trying to conjugate stuff and put the sentence together yourself will make you better, even if you make mistakes.

for you who do not know, scene is basically a more youth, punky version of the pop scene.

that is how the sentence is structured. garbage being the last word it is the biggest. i know Japanese grammar is quite different and the word garbage would not be last in a Japanese sentence. how could i structure that sentence in Japanese and what would be the best word to substitute scene for. i dont think japan has the slang term scene.

thankyou so much!

I really don't think you can even translate this sentence. To the best of my knowledge, "scene" cannot be translated here. There is no concept of "scene" in Japanese that is equivalent. Just like if you wanted to say ガングロってヤベッ in English, there is no concept of "ganguro" in English.

Also it strikes me as particularly "scene" to wear a shirt like this in the first place. So ironical, which makes it hipster and not scene, which makes it not ironic, which makes it scene not hipster, and WE'RE CAUGHT IN AN INFINITE LOOP.

Ok, then pop it is. As for your opinion on the shirt, I really dont care.

Please help me with these sentences, which I have been struggling with.

あなたが去って行くときに、あなたの黒いノートを持っ ていって
あなたがさっていくときに、あなたのくろいノートをも っていって
While you are leaving, take your black covered notebook with you
(leaving: going away leaving someone behind, walking out on somebody)

私は去っている、 あなたは滞在する, でも、お幸せに
「わたしはさっている、あなたはたいざいする, でも、おしあわせに」
“Stay where I left you, but be happy” or “I am going away you stay, but be happy”
(What I really wanted to say is this "Stay where I left you, but happily" but I thought it would sound better in English like above.)

よろしくおねがいします
