Let's speak Japanese(-y)!!

Ask questions about nihongo, the language of XXXHolic and Tsubasa and CLAMP! And all those other things in Japan, but meh. Learn a few new words from our *cough* semi-decent japanese-speaking people. Discuss things like pocky and ramen. All that jazz.

The reply would begin wiith
Iie, if you weren't fine... and then you could go.

Genki jya nai - I'm not fine

Kanashii desu - I'm sad.

to say not so great, perhaps: Chotto kanashii desu. - A little sad. I'm not exactly sure.

the way I know how to say it is

(name-san/chan/kun) ga dai suki desu.

thats for really like/love.
and for dislike/hate-
(noun) ga dai kirai desu.

ehhh?!
mine was "watashi wa anadani aishimasu" or something like that. i dunno how to spell it...
but my mom is all japanese lanuage knowledge-like, you know, and she told me how to say it. and this friend of my sister said it that way too.
but then sunako-chan said it all different, looking at her japanese dictionary.....arghh, so confuzzling...
