The Kana/Kanji to Romaji translator is good for that kind of thing: http://www.romaji.org/

Babelfish sucks at names - you get a literal translation of the name. Like Yonekura Ryoko - you get Rice Granary Ryoko Nut

can someone confirm for me this is the correct japanese spelling:

�����Y��ł��� (The moon looks beautiful tonight.)

and that this is the correct pronunciation for the same:

gatsu ga kirei desune


just trying to make sure i won't be misunderstood for having said, the month is beautiful...or something else foolish.



and translation of this please Smile
�l���􂢎E���������Ă����������Ƃ���

The first one I would write like this:

�������ꂢ�ł��ˁB (�Y�큁���ꂢ�Ausually not written in kanji)
Reading: Tsuki ga kirei desu ne. (The moon is beautiful (tonight, isn't it?)

And the second one:
�l���􂢎E���������Ă����������Ƃ���

meaning: There was a time I wished I could kill people with a curse.

or

Once I wished I could kill people by a spell / curse.

I was watching "Kinpachi Sensei" last night, when Sakomoto Kinpachi said the word 'kokoro' about four times in one sentence. Now I'm curious... what does it mean?

Are you familiar with that phrase? Seems it's popular, but not widely known even among local Japanese people, to be a "romantic expression of love". An expression I'd like to take a hand at trying to use Bleah

But, of course, I'd like to be able to use it properly...at least fake it well enough.

The pronunciation is stronger than in "suki".

"tsu" pronounce it like its written, push a T sound in front of the S.

The "Tsuki ga kirei desu ne" phrase is the same in every language, with the rigt timing, emotion and the person around it might lead to a romantic situation.

The second phrase however, curse, kill and wish... Definitely not three words you wanna put in one sentence if you ask me. Where ever you saw it, it probably wont have the same effect in real life.

i was more interested in the moon is beautiful translation.

thank you very much

Quick question, what's the difference between:

watashi dake wa, zutto anata no soba ni iru
�������́A�����Ƃ��Ȃ��̂��΂ɂ���

and
watashi dake wa, zutto anata no mikata de ite ageru
�������́A�����Ƃ��Ȃ��̖����ł��Ă�����
(the last one I just heard from Tsuki no koibito, from Yuzuki to Rensuke)
�@
i think they both mean I'll always be by your side.

Thank you!
