In the sentence you pointed out, 足す (tasu) means "to add". So it's like "by adding this word..." :smile: For "kazueru", I think you might mean "kazoeru", which means to count. I think "kigakuteki" might be wrong too - did you hear it in this lesson? Tachikomaさん,
Thanks for your comment!

Particularly the very lengthy explanations, in japanese, of japanese words. Sometimes the conversation is so rapid and laced with so many as yet never explained words that comprehension can quickly become bewilderment. There are several excanges in this and other lessons in the travelogue series which lost me, - here's the first! If someone could decipher this, I'd be eternally grateful! Merci! (time 10:20) "nani ka kibou wo tsutaeru toki ni kono kotoba wo tasu koto de nihonjin rashii" What does 'tasu" mean? Also, what do the words 'kazueru', and 'kigakuteki' mean? Thanks all!

(time 10:20) “nani ka kibou wo tsutaeru toki ni kono kotoba wo tasu koto de nihonjin rashii” What does ‘tasu” mean?

Also, what do the words ‘kazueru’, and ‘kigakuteki’ mean?

Thanks all!

I looked it up and see that it is approximately 36 square feet. Is "tsubo" commonly used? Is it usually in the context of real estate? No, I’ve never heard of that one.

Well the prices varies but these are the common prices that ordinary people would pay. And what annie-san described is perfect to your question. And today, there are places that don't require those things, too. And about your suggestion, no thanks! But Peter-san was saying that he might wanna live with you in Shanghai.:cool: maxiewawa-san,

When I lived 45 minutes from Tokyo (in Chiba prefecture), I was paying 54,000/month. It was an older apartment, with a 6 mat room, a 8-9 mat room, a large kitchen, and a large balcony. about 8 minutes from the nearest station. i think that the prices are fairly representative for places in Japan, excluding Tokyo. 50,000 inside Tokyo seems a bit low, but not impossible to find.

Also, what happens after you decide on a place? How much is a deposit? Any other charges? Also, ちょっと意見がある。 よし先生はアメリカにいるとき、ピータの家にすんで、ピータ先生は日本に住んだら、よし先生と一緒に住むのはどう？それなら、引越しする必要はない。 すごい！
