Thank-you Jonas-san for answering my email with this question:grin:. Arigatou Gozaimashita (would this be the right time to say that?:roll:). In case anyone was wondering: ao and aka are nouns, while putting the i at the end (aoi and akai) makes them adjectives. For example: (sorry if these examples are wrong, someone correct me if they are) Noun: Ao wa ichiban desu. Blue is the best. Adjective: Kore wa akai ringo desu. This is a red apple. Ganbatte kudasai!

Did you guys get my email? I didn't know that Rounin weren't frowned upon, that was interesting:grin: You guys are so funny the way you talked about Ryuunen. Thank-you for yet again another great podcast. And now to the question part of my post: I have seen blue as ao and aoi, and i think it has something to do with being an adjective or a noun, but i don't really know the what the difference is. Could you explain what the difference is if it isn't to much to ask for. Thank-you for your help. Ah! this was a great lesson Peter-san and Sakura-san. Did you guys get my email?

As for Yokoko, I think the term is rather "Hamakko" (someone who was born and grew up in Yokohama; often considered to be fashionable, easy-going, and put "jan" at the end of the sentence, like "iijan" for "that's good"). Unfortunately, I lived far away from the center of Yokohama, and only lived there until I was ten, I don't deserve being called a hamakko:smile: Matane!

That definitely sounds interesting! I'll have to see if I can dig up some dubbed episodes, although I'm sure they will be harder to come across than anime, etc. さくらさん、リンクスをありがとうございます！美味しいみたいですね。 P.S. Stay warm! ピーターさん、

The reason it is limited is that in most cases it is just part one of a series of tests. Your score on the UTCE qualifies you to sit for certain universities' exams. For example, we mentioned Tokyo University, also known as Todai (東大）, a high score on the the UTCE would qualify you to sit for their enterance exam, which you may or may not pass. So the UTCE is like round 1, and only gets you chances to take exams. This is why we say exam season! This is like opening day. 大学入試センター試験 UTCE - is similiar to the SAT in that it has some influence on which university or college you will attend; however, this influence is limited.
