It can also be used on its own to mean "shut up!" or "be quiet!" Hope this helps! :smile: Alen-san

The "no" particle in the middle connects the two. I hope that helps! :smile: Jennie-san,

In your PDF, when you say, "Tonari no heya ga urusai desu", could you explain the meaning of tonari and heya separately, so I can understand those words? I understand that together they mean the room next door, but what does each word mean by itself? :???: Thank you konnichiwa.

No? But the translation said something like "...Could you repeat that slowly please?" Now me being the rather "Head in the clouds" kinda person I am, I'm envisioning walking along asking someone for directions somewhere, missing something, saying "すいません、ゆっくりお願いします。" and that person starting to walk slower. It seems awkwardly unspecific. I'll stop making a mountain out of a mole hill and ask; is the "could you repeat that" part just implied? :oops: I have a question about one of the sample sentances…

The English says 'He was really interesting', however the Japanese is not in past tense as far as I can see I’m not %100 sure but I think there may be a mistake on the 3rd example of 2nd grammar point.
