Maybe it's more like "hyperactive"... or "distractible"? Quote:
However, I have been careful not to just write, for instance, "ohisashiburi desu", but "o-hi-sa-shi-bu-ri de-su" instead. In this way it is clear that these are not English letters or sounds, almost as though -hi- or -bu- were just another symbol for ひ or ぶ. Quote:

"These are my friends Gaston, Colette and Luciana, she's from Brazil" is more common than "These are my friends Gaston and Colette, and this is my Brazilian friend Luciana." You are right that the 2nd one makes the nationality/country sound more important. Quote:

I just had a look at what you watched, and I wonder if it might be a bit too advanced to begin with. I say that because there are so many cultural references and idioms that it may not make sense straight away. You might be better off starting with these: Harry Hill — simpler, absurdist comedy One Foot in the Grave — situational comedy Fawlty Towers — physical comedy Bill Bailey — simpler, absurdist comedy Eddie Izzard — simple but quite erudite comedy, some absurdisms Morcambe & Wise — simpler traditional comedy act That reminds me of the absolute legend: Tommy Cooper!

Hi. I have three questions. Quote:
What is the difference? 2. Does “one variety of” mean “various”? Why isn’t that “one variety of crops”? Quote:
Why isn’t it in singular form? It is a little late to ask. Sorry; I’m slow. Thank you. If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask. I YamaP

@YuriTokoro
1. You can say 'while' instead of 'during which'. There's no real difference. Its just quicker to say. 2. 'One variety of' means a certain group out of multiple groups. For example: Car makers Toyota, Nissan and Honda all make various models of car. If you were looking for 'one variety of' Nissan, you'd be looking for a certain kind of Nissan. Whereas if you are looking for 'various' Nissan's, you'd be looking at every car Nissan makes. A poor example maybe, but it makes my point. As for the second question in 2, as your looking for 'one variety of' crop, you use the singular version, instead of the plural. 3. As for this question, I'm afraid I'm going to have to let someone else answer that one for you, as I have no idea why. lol Anyway, I hope my answers have helped  An Cafe, Vidoll, Versailles, Dir En Grey, Deathgaze, the GazettE, alice nine., UVERworld, Kiryu , YUI, AKB48, Buono!, Berryz Koubou, C-ute, S/mileage, Morning Musume, Zoro, Lolita23Q, Visual Kei, Oshare Kei, J-Rock, J-Pop, Idol groups FTW (≧∀≦)

Hi. I have three questions. 1. Can I say “while” instead of “during which” ? What is the difference? (I think in this context "During which" is preferable, more dynamic) 2. Does “one variety of” mean “various”? Why isn’t that “one variety of crops”? Well you could say ONE crop variety but as there are many plants to make that CROP-- then variety of crops is fine. 3. “A single variety of crops” means one strain? Why isn’t it in singular form? It is a little late to ask. Sorry; I’m slow. Thank you.[/QUOTE

Thank you! I see. So, “one variety of Nissan” means “a certain type of vehicle of Nissan”. Right? Thanks again! If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask. I YamaP
