Excellent, thanks for the clarification.I know these are quite minor questions but I like to understand the basics, before I start building on bad foundations ;o)

OK! you are correct.As you mentioned, If you've been introduced, it is better to say one's name. But you can also use Anata once in a while instead of one's name in the conversation. And, in the possessive case, "Anata no" with rising intonation"Anata no?" is casual way. "Anota no desu ka?"is formal way. "Kono Pen wa acromel san no desu ka?""Hai, Kare no (pen) desu" Kore wa Anata no desu ka?" "Iie, Watashi no jya arimasenn." and so on,

OK, let's see. If I've been introduced to someone and I keep asking them questions by using あなたは「question」, rather than name-san [question] then that's rude. But if I want to ask if an object belongs to them, for example, the simplest way might be to ask あなたの with rising intonation. Or maybe あなたのですか would be better.Bit of a clumsy question I'm afraid. :o)

Thanks for the comment buddy!I think you are correct though,If you like, can you give me some examples about it?Have a good one!!

Thanks Bro!!Yeah! Now, I can not make enough time to make the lesson though, I am gonna try it in the near future.Thanks for the proposal ma~n.Have a good one!

Another good one, thanks. :o)It's clear that addressing someone using あなた instead of their name can be rude, but is this also the case for あなたの?I guess this question also applies to using わたしの as well. Is there a better way, or is this reasonable for the possessive case?Cheers.

Hey oborogin, I have a request, it would be pretty cool to see a lesson for intermediate level if you have the time. :) |
