sugoi desu yo!

I'm sorry I should've posted this here not in the learning section xD. Anyways, I love the new website look and the new features as well. I especially like the quizzes... Unless I missed them I didn't think they were there before, and well yeah this will aid me 2 I wanted to see if I could "test out of" the first certificate level... I got a 72% which both upsets me and pleases me. I'm upset cause I missed by 8 questions... and some of the ones I missed it was a "D'OH how'd I forget that!?!?!". Lol just when I thought I was ready to move on to my More Japanese lessons... I find out that I didn't really get all of it down as well as I should. I'm pleased because if I take into consideration that I did the fact that I did the first half of the lessons like back in january/december (I took a long break inbetween my lessons for whatever reason... I was doing two lessons a day, 1 review and 1 new). That means that I remember a lot more than I thought I did... lol when trying to talk to the one teacher I know at school who speaks japanese fairly well it made me think I knew very little... :wink: Also I like how it shows what you have completed and what you haven't going off of memory wasn't always the easiest thing to do in the past! xD... (usually I just listened for the first few seconds till I found one that had familular words in it)... I mean the Rocket Japanese Package was well worth the money prior to these extra special features but now, all I can say was that my purchase was money well spent!!! Sugoi desu yo! Derek

Do itashi masu.

Just out of random curiosity now... what would Do itashi masu be?... I'm guessing it'd make something non-nonsensical but in the event it doesn't what does it mean?

Derek-san... :P :idea: *Dō itashi masu*, said with a rising intonation or adding the question particle KA makes it into a question which asks: *Dō itashi masu ka?* How/What would you like to do [about it]? You know that *Dō?* asks _"How?"_ and *Itashi masu* is the humble alternative of the verb *Suru* and it's polite version *Shimasu* "to do".

So wait does that mean that Do itashi mashite literally would be How to doing Domo Arigoto, Derek

Literally - that's word for word - *Dō?* is"How?" and *Itashi masu* "to do" so Yes - both combined - it would translate as "How to do?" - but this obviously does not sound natural. :lol:

xD... How do the japanese go from "How to do?" to "Your Welcome" is probably something else that probably would require intense research of the japanese history... while japan rules and so does its culture and language... history is history no matter what its about and thus boring. xD So yeah, Arigoto Gozaimashita! (for the answering of my seemingly endless questions).

Uh I'm having trouble accessing the members area for whatever reason... I go to the login page and am redirected (before it even loads) to a page stating the the page I've attempted to access is no longer there or I misspelled it... and I didn't misspell it unless it is misspelled in your links to the login page.

Derek-san, Could you kindly please check that the url you are using is: http://members.rocketlanguages.com Thank you!

IDK how or why... but it fixed itself... xD thanks for the suggestion though I'll have to remember that in case it pops up again.
