... ga suki could mean "I love you", even though it literally means "I like ..." (... is the thing/person you like, whatever you like)

Daisuki - I like ... very much. Just another heighten level of ... ga suki.

Aishiteru is the better way to express "I love you" as the the word "ai" (love) is directly expressed.
erm, is it all 3 can be expressed as "i love you" but for "aishiteru", it cant be expressed as "i like you" ?

for Daisuki, should i add "anata ga daisuki" or "daisuki" alone is enough to express "i like you" to somebody?

btw, can i use daisuki alone like aishiteru case with obvious subject?

ex:

ME: daisuki (means "I like you, choyster")
Choyster: Gei!

desu is like a statement and deshou is asking for agreement.

e.g.

anata wa otoko desu.
you're a guy.

(anata wa) otoko deshou?
you're a guy, aren't you?

ok, got it... desu pronouce as "des" right?

still self-learning the basics using senior's jap beginner book... sweat.gif

www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html ..... ive been using this one n i think its very good( i dunno if theres better online Jap dic other than this one)
i search through the dic n found gyakushuu=counterattack biggrin.gif

from the sentences, its not counterattack. i think its a place... " i want to visit mfa333 no gyakusyu". something like that... hmm.gif

gyakushuu is 逆襲 - counterattack
hangeki 反撃 and hankou 反攻 also mean counterattack.

What is your sentence? Maybe the romaji is wrong?

i think this is the meaning in my case... hmm.gif

okay, this thread is kinda on the down. So, I would try to spice things up.

My question is "Do you speak Japanese like a girl?"

What I want you to do, is record your voice saying these three lines..

Line #1: "Iin janai?"
Line #2: "Jouzu desu ne?"
Line #3: "Dou kashira" or "Dou darou?"

I will give your recording to my Japanese friends, and they will tell you whether you speak Japanese like a girl or not.

Sounds Interesting?
