    Thanx Inu-girl!
    now I was wondering, what does fushi mean?
    For the longest time I thought Fushigi Yugi was fushi yugi and (Ithink) I know yugi means play or game (right?) so, what does fushi and fushigi mean?

    sorry aozora, I can't, but someone will come soon that can ^_^

    Ok, those are interesting, I'll take 'em

    The 'fushigi' in Fushigi Yuugi means mysterious, it's also sometimes translated 'strange', although mysterious fits better... I suppose there is a connotation of strange that means a similar thing

    Fushi is comprised of the characters 'not' and 'death' so, it means immortal, or without death.

    Hope this helps!

    Haha, let's see if I retained any knowledge after a year.

    Ashita = tomorrow
    Aishiteru = I love you. (Which is can be substituted by a number of others.)
    Shiranai = Is not there (?)
    Ittai (that's what I'm guessing is trying to be spelled) = "Ouch!"
    Ikitai = expresses a want to go somewhere.

    LOL, that seems to be all I have even passing familiarity with. Damn. Urashima Keitaro and Inu-Girl prolly have this thing down pat...I'm just trying to keep up some sort of review.

    miseru: to show
    aeru: to be able to meet/see
    deshou: Isn't it?

    Sorry I'm not sure of what fuiteru is, I'm not great at reading romaji if it was in Japanese it would be easier (weird huh?).

    I have NO idea what the second one would be...so I will not answer that, nor refer to it after I just made this comment.

    However, I might know the first one. Could it be, "Oware da"? If not, then I'm off...though, I still have no idea what it means. I got to thinking that you were saying "owari da" but that means, "it's done".

    I believe that "wareda" mean it is me not posative so just ignore me.:p
    "Iyayo" means I don't want to.
    By the way your not "that hated", as a matter of fact I know your not "hated" at all, or I don't hate you thats for sure.:)

    OK, I have a question. How do you say the word "of"? Like, how would you use it in a phrase? (ex. word of the day, boy of wonder--huh?! where'd that come from) Do you use "no"? or is that just for possesive?

    I believe "no" would be used in either case. Possessive and "of". I don't see it being used as anything else.
