"Good morning!"
"How is your week going? And what are you doing today?"
"And by the way, I'm sure you still look cute without make up on."

I'm going casual because your friend is already writing casual to you.

おはよう。
こんしゅうはどんなちょうし？きょうはなにしてるの？
ところで、メークなしでもかわいいとおもうよ。

Translation needed please:

今日は、学校遅刻して先生に怒られた
顔が荒れてるんです。
ストレスが溜まって。
あと、うちあんな女らしい服着ないです。
今は、髪がショートなんで女らしい服は似合わないんで す。
毎日B系の服です。ビックリしましたか？

"Toshi" does not mean anything. People need to abandon this silly idea that Japanese names have meanings.

Only when "Toshi" is written in kanji, then the kanji can have meanings. "Toshi" can be written in multiple ways.

If a Japanese person named his dog Toshi, however, it would be written in kana 99% of the time, again resulting in having no meaning but the sound.

She found it on a Dutch website with Japanese dog names, I can't find it back.
Well what could it mean when it is written in Kanji ?
I can't write kana or kanji yet so...
And almost all names have meanings in about every language that exists, does not only apply to Japanese.

Hi! Would the reading for these fractions be correct?:

六分の五→　ろくぶんのご
七分の六→　ななぶんのろく　or　しちぶんのろく
八分の七→　はちぶんのなな　or　はちぶんのしち
九分の四→　きゅうぶんのよん　or　きゅうぶんのし

Are there more natural ways of reading it or it just depends on the person?

Any help is appreciated ;D

I tend to speak in decimals rather than fractions, so I can't be 100% sure, but I believe you always say "denominatorぶんのnumerator" and use なな／よん for 7/4 respectively. So:

5/6 = ろくぶんのご
6/7 = ななぶんのろく
7/8 = はちぶんのなな
4/9 = きゅうぶんのよん

The only fraction I think I use with regularity in Japanese (when I rarely speak it now) is にぶんのいち, and I know that one is 100% correct because I grew up reading らんま１／２ manga.

So なな and よんー I'll remember that, thanks!

For fairness sake, many older people use しち and し for those two and く for number 9.
