Using Romanji as I'm still not comfortable using Hiragana or Kanji.

Watashi no akachan o aishite imasu.

and

Onnanko wa kanojo no inu ga daisuki desu.

I'm trying to understand what Aishite and ga daisuki means

Many thanks, mata ne!

[ashogo]

The first one means, "I love my baby".
"Ai" means love, and "shite" is a form of "suru" which means to do something. In this case, loving.

The second one means "Girls love her dog".
"Daisuki" is a combination of "Dai" (literally "big" or "great") which is used to emphasise something, and "suki", which is to like. So together it means they really, really like the dog.

I bet some of the regulars here could give you even better details. Hope this cleared it up for you.

desuka = ?

Could also be "is it the ~" unless I'm mistaken? This obviously depends on context which we have very little of here.. :P

Desuka = Desu ka: "ka" is a question marker and "desu" is... well, essentially polish in this case. It makes the sentence more polite.

Right?

A few more now:

"Watashi no ie wa toori no chikaku ni arimasu"

"Boku no ie wa toori kara tooku ni arimasu"

有賀と

"Watashi no ie wa toori no chikaku ni arimasu"

My house is close to the street/road

watashi = I watashi no= My - No is a particle indicating possession
ie = House
Toori = Street
Chikaku=Close to/Vicinity of
Toori no chikaku - The street's vicinity
ni arimasu = Exists there

"Boku no ie wa toori kara tooku ni arimasu"

My house is far away from the street/road

Boku = another less formal way of saying 'I'
Kara = Particle indicating 'From'
Tooku = Far, but usually 'Tooi' would be used (I think). Tooku is a form of Tooi
Toori kara Tooku = Literally 'From the Street, Far'
