timothy-san,

It’s really a good thing! If you can speak Japanese in your dreams, I’m sure you must be able to speak Japanese in an actual world.

One grammar question about today’s dialog:
In the sentence:
ごめいわくをかけてしまいましてもうしわけございません。
what form exactly is しまいまして。
It looks like a て form constructed on the ます form of しまう。
But does such a form really exist? I do not think it was ever introduced in previous lessons. This seems to be very polite Japanese.
Could anybody clarify this ?

Thanks

Jean-Michel

I think another way to describe 〜てしまう is “regretably … I/you did it”.

Asahi_NYsurf-san, thanks for the support! Yeah, this one should be good!

Liz-san, that is Fujimoto-sensei! I think she has a great voice! She is a huge help around the office!

Hugo-san!! 元気ですか。It’s great to have Fujimoto-sensei around the office!

Sukorudowan-san, thanks for posting and for writing in Japanese! Please keep posting like this one! In regards to -te shimau: “while it refers to completion of action, it carry implications of unwillingness and dissatisfaction on the part of the doer.”
So if you just wanted to say you had Cheerios for breakfast, you would most likely go with the past tense of the verb. However, if you ate the last of the Cheerios, and other family members started showing up looking for Cheerios, you would say, “チリオスを食べてしまいました。”
