Ikuaki: Thanks! Hmm, didn't do too much. There's always a huge ass block party in the middle of town (our college is known for it, sadly - we're the top party school in our state T.T) but I didn't go. I went to a party with some friends, but that was about it. How about you?

We stayed home, un-constumed and waited for children to knock/ring the doorbell. There weren't very many though; so we still have a good bit of candy left... like.. 3/4. xD
I wouldn't have minded doing more, but meh, no good people around here. xD

The closest I have ever gotten to celebrating halloween was last year when I went outside at night, screamed, and threw rice on people. XD Besides that, my whole life I have stayed inside playing hide and go seek in the dark.

Eh, there's always next year, Ikuaki-san!
Lol, strange-san, you threw rice at people?! That's AWESOME!! lmao XD any particular reason or were you imitating rocky horror?

Imitating what? XD I just filled up a ziplock back of rice. (Well we always have tons lol) .. and another one for my brother. I would have thrown salt for purification but we have way more rice than salt so I brought that instead XD

Lol purification? Trying to rid the streets of demons? lol down here, you try to get rid of the drunks, hahaha
Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's a...er...special movie...lol

About what?

And yeah, lol. Well I couldn't tell for sure who was drunk and who wasn't, so I don't know how much good it would have done to concentrate only on those. It was my first night outside during Halloween, anyways. Sounds a bit rsiky.

Lol YouTube - The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Trailer 3 watch this :D
Haha yeah it's hard sometimes. It's not like picking out zombies from the crowd, hahah :D

Hope everyone had a good Halloween Event time. :D

Yaaa hehe :D よく友だちと面白いことだった！　そして、あたらしい四人に会いました。　たのしかったです。

:P
UH..!

Something about a well fun/interesting friend. And you met 4 new people. You had fun. Or it was fun. :D

Is that it? XD

Nn well I mean it was interesting having the events with my friends. But other than that, ya. Soo i'm guessing you know like... if you say たのしい that it can mean "I'm having fun" or "this is fun"..? ^^ like if you say こわい it means "I'm scared" or "This is scary" xD

Oh. I actually didn't know that. xD But I do now.
I'm sure with translating, sometimes it's just getting the idea across rather than the exact translation. I think that's why I have trouble sometimes translating things. And Japanese's usual lack of subjects sometimes makes me go "something is missing..."
xP

Lol yeah I understand. In some cases, translating becomes very complicated not as much as for that the words are hard to figure out, as much as it is that you have to examine the scenario, maybe even what happens in the future (if it's say, an anime or something), before you can make sure you are accurate. xB

Ugh yes! Haha.
And some of the words are just saying what kind of speech you're using like.. casual/polite.
I got past katakana; so soon I'll be starting on some kanji. I'm not sure if I want to focus on kanji or go back and learn more vocabulary, but I guess it doesn't matter. I can do both. xP
I think I'm going to go through one of my books and write down all the vocab from previous lessons and study those hardcore. Or try...

Lol ok!!

一人
二人
三人
四人
五人

I believe you understand what these mean. Would I be right? If you don't, take a shot. But here..
Tell me the spelling in hiragana for each of these ^^

Is it like.. one person?

いちひと
にひと
さんひと
しひと
ごひと

I don't know which reading; soo.. xD There you go! -waits for answers nervously-

Yeah, well. Lol. It is counting people.

Here are the readings for 人, a very easy word to understand the meaning of. It simply means person. And correct, it is like one person, two people, three people, ect. But the reading is slightly different. I may have to help you with general object counters if you don't already know them, but this is a start.

1 and 2 people are different than all the rest of the vocab in this area. They are not いち or に. However, after that it gets super easy. For the 1 and 2 people, it actually reflects "general object counter", but we can get into that later.

~~--~~--~~--~~--~~

人
Readings: ひと、びと、にん、じん

In counting people, use にん. Here is 1-10.

ひとり
ふたり
さんにん
よにん
ごにん
ろくにん
しちにん
はちにん
きゅうにん
じゅうにん

1: follow general counter by using ひと
2: follow general counter by using ふた
4: not よんにん; only one "n" is required.

USE THIS SONG? :3

I learned it in Japanese class lol.

Oooh yeah. I don't know any counters.

Oh ok. :D -learns- Oh. I found my Japanese notebook thing; so now I can write this down and not lose it. I actually need to get a new one... o_o

So.. for 人　since one of the readings is じん is that what you use when say like ... 日本人？

Aha! Japanese lesson vids like these always crack me up because the voice is so high. xP And so chipper.

Yeah yeah yeah, じん is for your heritage.

アメリカ人
フランス人
日本人
中国人
オーストラリア人

ect, ect.
Btw can you translate those?

Oooh you trixsy!
Let's see... e.e

American
French
Japanese
Korean? (total guess)
Australian?

AmIrite?

Sensei gives pop quizzes...

... xD lol. 80% B

中国人

中- middle
国- country
人- person
--------------------
Chinese person

It was called the middle country because of the Chinese thought that China was the "center of everything", or "center of the universe" type of place.

(ちゅうごくじん) There! You learned a new word, right? XD

Aah a B! No extra credit? :P

Oh China... so high and mighty. I guess it is pretty big. e.e

Yup. :D Wewt wewt!

And guess what :3 You can also know 2 new words besides that sooo fast :3 You ready?

中国語　（ちゅうごくご）: Chinese language
中国　（ちゅうごく）: China

yayy~~ :squee: extra credit if you can tell me how to say Germany and/or Spain. :3

Oh sheet! XD
I remember that word from my lessons (well, slightly) but had never seen the kanji. I think I tried to remember it because it had "goku" in it. xD

Ah.... I don't know! D:
Is Germany like.. Deutschland or something? XD
