Because after i answered the 3 questions and hit the "check answers" button, instead of getting the same questions with the correct answers, I got a completely different set of questions/answers (from another lesson?) and it said that i had "not answered" any of the questions. :???: anyway, sorry for putting all these complaints etc on here...just want to help in identifying/fixing bugs on the site. if i should use another means of informing Jpod101 about bugs, typos, errors etc, let me know! and thanks Jpod101 for putting this series about giving & receiving! i think it really helps clear things up. i have been studying Japanese for 3 years and I always thought the hardest part is figuring out all the giving/recieving auxiliary verbs and the accompanying particles. After listening to this series things make a lot more sense. どうもありがとうございます！ hi, it seems like the answers for the Content Questions in the Learning Center for this lesson seem to have been accidentally linked from another lesson or something.

The Koujien gives categorically that the preffered sage is 'i'. I'm inclined to accept its verdict over a card company. Of course. it's not at all a major issue of comprehension really: you'll be perfectly understood no matter what you choose, but I think it's wrong to imply that the authorities on the language, whatever legitimacy they may or may not hold, have given their opinion. At least they corrected the romaji spelling in the header (you're welcome, btw . . .) -Sean Hi, Jonas,

Just dropping the o but keeping the i seems not uncommon either.
