sigh, unfortunately my computer doesnt show the katakana or something symbols

[yukitora]

yay! now i can continue with my anime work! i don't know where my dictionary is so, what is 'uki uki' and 'biko' as in 'biko-neko'. sorry, there words relating to my work, and they sometimes are from memory.

[GoktimusPrime]

ウキウキ(uki-uki) is an onomatopoeia for joy or happiness.

"bikoneko" might be 美子猫 which means "pretty kitty."
美 (bi) = pretty, beauty
子猫 (koneko) = kitten

yep... that brings back memories. thanks for the grammer i forgot that 'bi' was seperate. as for 'uki uki' it rhymes with 'yuki' so, 'uki uki Yuki'. my icon pic doesn't show an 'uki uki yuki'(tora) just a blanked faced 'Yuki'(tora)!


Also, what is 'Kirameku'. I've lost my notes and arn't sure on what it means exactly. (got it out of a kanji book) is it 'shining, sparkling or glittering?'

many thanks

[GoktimusPrime]

Yes, きらめく (kirameku) means shining, sparkling, glittering, twinkling etc.

From this thread:
Heh... the Romanisation on that "Granzort" box made me smile. While "Madō" (魔動) means "demon motion", due to a lack of accent mark on the "o" it says "mado" (窓) which means "window"

I've decided I want to start practicing my Japanese as much as possible, so this thread would be a great way for me to do so ... but I don’t know how to make my computer type in Japanese, could someone tell me how to type in Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji?

Also when someone says to you "Hisashiburidesne" what do you answer with?
