Officer Kaoko

You write them 100 times already ? LOL ! Congratulations ~

It is suppose to be funny ... but it's dramatic at the same time . You were offended by this? LOL! I actually liked this dance better than Conan's one from Koi Thrill Love .

Hiragana: Lesson 10 - 'こ' [ko] & 'ご' [go] Now for the last character of the 'k' section... 'こ' [ko]! こ, in hiragana, or コ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. Both represent IPA: [ko]. The shape of these kana comes from the kanji 己. Pronunciation: 'こ' is romanized 'ko' Word beginning with 'こ': 子 = こ (ko -> child) これ (kore -> this one: indicating an item near the speaker) ここ (koko -> here) 答える = こたえる (kotaeru -> to answer; to reply) こんにちわ (konnichiwa -> hello (daytime greeting)) 子ども = こども (kodomo -> children (ko + domo = children)) Stroke order: Same with the previous 'k's lessons, a dakuten may be added to this character; this changes it to 'ご' [go] in hiragana. こ + " (dakuten) = ご (look below) Pronunciation: 'ご' is romanized 'go' (and pronounced 'go' as in 'gorilla.' ) Word with 'げ': 五 = ご (go -> five) Note: You shall write 'こ' & 'ご' 50 - 100 times in your textbook. If you want, like with the previous lessons, write 'こ' 70 times and 'ご' 30 times . Memorize the shape, the stroke order, the sound, the pronunciation (echo the sound of the character each time you write it down), etc. And after do that, revise all of the characters in the 'k'section 'か', 'き', 'く', 'け', and 'こ'. Repeat (write) them one after an other repetitively ('か', 'き', 'く', 'け', 'こ', 'か', 'き', 'く', 'け', 'こ', etc.) 100 times. I will post the revision of 'k' section in a short time (hopefully). PS. Who can read this? -> かおこ Put the answer in a spoiler box I am seeing if there's any mistake...

I will check it out when I have time . Ahoy, and welcome TNA-CHAN ! Thank you for your kind words, Xtion-kun . I am glad you liked my lessons . How do you say 'welcome aboard' in Japanese :grin: ?

Thanks a lot, Maurice ! You saved my day !

That what it says to me, too .

Thank you, Maurice ... But this is so complicated >,< Now, first I go in here -> http://qchat.rizon.net/?channels=detectiveconan&uio=d4 Then there'll be a box to fill in your desired nickname... I will put on my desired nickname, then... when I finally get into the chatroom... I follow your instructions and put the following codes in the box ? Nobody could see it, right ?

Oh, thank you, Maurice But... /msg NickServ register <*********> <gkoko@gmail.com> Where to put the desired nickname ?

Now for the 4th letter from the 'k' section; 'け' [ke] (and 'げ')! Hiragana: Lesson 9 - 'け' [ke] & 'げ' [ge] け, in hiragana, or ケ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. Both represent [ke]. The shape of these kana come from the kanji 計 and 介, respectively. Pronunciation: 'け' is romanized 'ke' Word beginning with 'け': 結婚 = けっこん (kekkon -> marriage) 刑事 = けいじ (keiji -> (police) detective) 警部 = けいぶ (keibu -> inspector) けち臭い = けちくさい (kechikusai -> mean; stingy [adj.]) Stroke order: Same with the previous 'k's lessons, a dakuten (I just realised what it is called -> gonna edit the rest of the previous lessons ) may be added to this character; this changes it to 'げ' [ge] in hiragana. け + " = げ (look below) Pronunciation: 'げ' is romanized 'ge'. Word with 'げ': 元気 = げんき (genki -> spirit; health - ex. o-genki desu ka? Literally meaning: Are you healthy? -> but usually translated to -> How are you? ^^) Note: You shall write 'け' & 'げ' 50 - 100 times in your textbook. If you want, like with the previous lessons, write 'け' 70 times and 'げ' 30 times . Memorize the shape, the stroke order, the sound, the pronunciation (echo the sound of the character each time you write it down), etc. And after do that, write 'か', 'き', 'く', and 'け', one after the other repetitively (か, き, く, け, か, き, く, け, etc.) 50 times (100 if you have time). I am seeing if there's any mistake...

I knoww... I don't believe that anyone here (or there in DCTP) would ever do that... but everything IS possible ! We never know... Just to be cautious ...

Thanks, blueberry-chan (+1)! Those are very useful! I learnt something great today! ... But... that was insulting

Mmm... so you just go there, type in your preferred nickname and... there you are? But, don't you think it's kinda dangerous? I mean... what if there's someone trying to impersonate some of us? By claiming that they are but actually not... causing troubles between our friendship and stuff ...

Awesome review, Bullet-chan ^^! I also think that erm... well, Gin & Sherry are former lovers is erm... not true. Gin... -> I don't want to go off-topic here so I'd just say it out loud in that referring topic Oh, and I have this amusing idea... see the video below. I was bored and I made it... no, no, no... I don't want any credit because none of its content is mine... NONE! And to that I didn't list it in my channel... but anyone with the link can view it. This is just an example to my (idea) suggestion ^^ I made it in a rush so only the beginning looks nice and the rest is all somehow random http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JETF-MrizHw It would be awesome if you guys do this Putting the pics and videos of the subject you are talking about PS. I don't think the video I did is good. It was lame because I did it in a rush and I don't have that much material in my computer and...

Now moving on to lesson 8... Hiragana KU (and GU)! Hiragana: Lesson 8 - 'く' [ku] & 'ぐ' [gu] く, in hiragana, or ク in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. Both represent [ku͍], and their shapes come from the kanji 久. Pronunciation: 'く' is romanized 'ku' Word beginning with 'く': 雲 = くも (kumo -> cloud) 蜘蛛 = くも (kumo -> spider) 頚 = くび (kubi -> neck) 口 = くち (kuchi -> mouth) 黒 = くろ (kuro -> black) 国 = くに (kuni -> country) 熊 = くま (kuma -> bear) Stroke order: Same with the two previous lessons (か [ka] & き [ki]), the Japanese character 'ku く' can easily be modified/change to 'gu 'ぐ'' by adding a dakuten (two small little curve) at the top on the right: く + " = ぐ (look below) Pronunciation: 'ぐ' is romanized 'gu'. Word beginning with 'ぐ': ぐらい (gurai -> about; around [time]) ぐるぐる (guruguru -> turning round and round) Note: You shall write 'く' & 'ぐ' 50 - 100 times in your textbook. If you want, like with the previous lesson, write 'く' 70 times and 'ぐ' 30 times . Memorize the shape, the stroke order, the sound, the pronunciation, etc. And after you've done that, write 'か', 'き', and 'く' one after each (か, き, く, か, き, く, etc.) 50 times (100 if you have time).

@Kenny: Gasp! I made a mistake! Because of the lessons I just posted and because I was so tired that day I quite didn't notice that Cheesus actually referred to 'I' instead of 'she' and 'he'... *sigh*. So sorry ! Thanks for the announcement, Kenny-sensei! I'll be putting the URL in the first post .

Mmmm... since Kenny-sensei isn't available yet, I guess I will answer to this, Cheesus-kun. The past tense ends in 'mashita' for the polite form and 'ta' for the plain form. Following the previous examples "私 は りんご を食べいます (watashi wa ringo wo tabete imasu -> I'm eating an apple)" Watashi wa ringo wo tabemashita (polite) -> I ate an apple. (Watashi wa) ringo wo tabeta (plain) -> I ate an apple. In case you are wondering why I put 'watashi wa' in the brackets.. it's because, in Japanese, the object (as well as the subect) can be omitted when it is known or obvious. Here was because it was obvious, and 'watashi' is formal and it's quite awkward putting it with the plain past 'ta'. <- I wonder if what I said makes sense. Oh, just some additional information... If you want to say, 'I was eating an apple', this is how you say it -> 'ringo wo tabete ita [plain]' and as for the polite form -> 'ringo wo tabete imashita.' 'WAKARIMASHITA' <- I guess you heard this said by officer Takagi a lot Literally meaning; 'understood!' I'm so lame in explaining stuff, that's why I said it would be best to wait for Kenny-sensei .

Exactly ! It goes the same for the rest of the 'k', too!

No, no, no! You have き, if you add this " to the letter -> き -> ぎ it sound will turn to 'gi'. Did I make it clear , Cheesus-kun?

Oh...

Kiel-chan!! Try again ! Check the links I provided again ! LOL! Isn't that smiley from DCTP ? Umm... can you explain more clearly Cheesus-kun ? Is there some errors in the lesson ?
