Sashimister, thanks very much for the reply. I can only apologise for my awful use of particles. It's been too long since I've written in hiragana.
I'll make that my next revision session. ;) Regards |
If you use Microsoft IME controler (type in Romanji way) if you want to type the particle を it's wo not o
o = お wo = を |

The study of the subtle difference really belongs in advanced Japanese. Technically, へ emphasizes the place you are going to a little bit more than に. In real life, however, I assure you that 99% of us native speakers use them interchangeably. |
Nice one. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
I've also updated my first post. ;) |
Sorry to say I've found another mistake that I had overlooked.
#3 はなにみずをやりましょお か It's しょう. True it's pronounced like しょお or しょー but it's written しょう. |
Ah yes, to be honest I should have noticed that too. I'll update the post.
Thanks once again. |
