Dear Son Gokou

I am so happy to help you in learning the Japanese expression for
compliments.

"You are smart "is in Japanese "anata wa(you are) atama ga iidesu."

"You look good " is " anata wa kireidesu.(for female)

or,anata wa otokomae(handsome) desu."

"You are kind" is "anata wa sinnsetu desu."

And so on.

Remember that I will be ready for your further questions.

Kozo who love America and American people.

Thank You So Much (arigatou Gozaimasu) I was starting to think that no one was going to respond. Learning japanese independantly is hard so this site really helps, thanks, cause I really didn't know anything but kirei and i recently learn Ikasu as a good one, but thnx again.

One thing that's been bothering me, that I've almost got the hang of, is Wo, Ga/Ha, Wa and No
I understand kinda when no and wa are used, but not the others ^_^

Re:Re:Re:complements
I am pleased to know my message was of some help to you Son Gokou.

By the way I first thought that you are American .
You are British of course and as one who lived in London for a few years I love and respect your people and country .

Please accept my apology.

Now about "wo" and "ga/ha" I will show example.

Wo is used like "anatano@shirt wo senntaku simashou."(I will wash your shirt."

that is to show an object.

ga is used showing the subject like "anatano shirt ga yogoreteimasu(stained)."

ha also shows subject like "anata ha igirisuzindesu."

The difference between the two?

ga is more specific.like"anatano shirt@is stained but not others'shirt.

ha is more general ."anata ha(pronounced same as wa)igirisuzinn desu.sikasi,hokanimo igirisuzin ha imasu.(you are British but so are others.)

the difference is rather delicate but still I hope you understand it.
Anyway I am very happy to communicate with you.

please always feel free to contact me!

Kozo

Apology accepted, and I do understand now, so thank you ver much agin for your help.

I've always been a big fan of Japan and it's culture, and hope to go there next year, and from what I've seen it is not just among the most advanced places in the world, but also beautiful and I hope I enjoy being there as much as everything else i enjoy about Japan. (I just thought I'd mention that ^_^)
