すみません、お寿司の食べ方を教えてくれませんか。はい、お醤油をこの皿に入れて、お箸で取って、引っくり返して、ねたをお醤油に付けて食べます。違う、本当の寿司の食べ方は手で食べるんだよ、へー、そうなんですか。全く、最近の若いもんは分かってないな。ま、いいか。勝手に食え。

また、明日。

But 入[はい]る is a class 1 verb, so that would be 入っています

What about “pi-ta san no eigo ga hairimasu” or “ii neta haite imasuka”

Same verb?

Yes.

Ah, crud. that was in response to:

“Also, Gineo also uses the verb ‘入る（はいる）’　It’s quite confusing…”

No. It’s not はいる in the sentence you gave. It’s 入[い]れる which means “insert, put in.” 手に入れる is a phrase that means “to get, obtain.” There’s also 手に入る which mean “to come into possesion of.”

The difference between these two, BTW, is that 手に入れる implies the person actively tried to get [whatever], where the 入る version means there wasn’t any particular effort on the person’s part to get it.

Ah Alan-san, thank you so much for your tip. They want to sell my iSight since MacBook comes with built in iSight that they don’t think I need to have 2 webcam. Also I order extra iPod video and sold to a good price so they are hoping to get from me with reasonabl price.

I will keep both iSight. This weekend we will try skype video again, maybe in bed????

A pair of questions:

In one of Doraemon’s stories, Gineo says:

“ほしいものは手入れるのが、おれのやりかたさ。”

(I get whatever I want. That’s just my way.)

Is the ‘kata’ from ‘yari kata’ the same ‘kata’ as we had today? You don’t get all the kanji in doraemon.

Also, Gineo also uses the verb ‘入る（はいる）’　It’s quite confusing…

Every lesson we get ‘ピータさんの英語が入ります’　and today we got ‘いいねた入ていますか。’

So is 入る　used for many other things? Or is it a different verb?

Vicky-san,
I have to keep going back to review lessons too , so I know how you feel. Partly it’s the vocabulary. I’m also a bit unsure about how some of the more complex sentence structures go together. i.e. when you need to use a normaliser and when you can use a subclause and follow it directly with ‘wa’ and carry on with the main clause. Some of these points were covered in earlier lessons, so it’s time for some revision.

So why do they want you to sell your iSight? Is it that they want one & can’t be bothered to order it. Or is it that they want to keep your lovely face all to themselves?

お寿司がすきです。今、手で食べ方が分かります。でも後で手を洗いますね。レスタランで難しいですか。お箸で食べませんか。

A bit off topic, but as soon as I heard the verb 引っ繰り返す I remembered a rather cute animation I recently watched which had that verb right near the beginning.
