So is there a "more correct" scenario to use each, or are the interchangeable?

I hope this helps! Sorry if it is confusing..:oops: bill45-san, Is the audio working now, by any chance? I think that may have been due to a temporary server error.

The humor really makes this lesson impressionable. One thing though: how does "hanakusa" become "hanakuso"? are they just different forms of the same word? That bonus track was very funny!

The past tense, and the one we introduce in this lesson, of おなかがすいた, literally means 'my stomach has become empty', and is the one used to mean 'I'm hungry' as an interjection. I hope that helps! Angry Katieさん：Aah, I was wondering why your Japanese was so good - because you lived in Japan! (I'm sure that's not the only reason why, but it helps, as I'm sure you'll agree :D). Do you mind me asking where you lived exactly? ちょうだい is a really useful word, and I use it with my friends too! Another use you may have heard while you were living here is in very polite situations: ちょうだいいたします　or ちょうだいします, which basically mean 'I (humbly) receive'. Shop assistants/waiters/people working in restaurants etc. will often say this either when announcing the total of your bill or when actually taking your money: １万円をちょうだいいたします. danameaさん：　’onaka ga suku’ is the present tense, and would be used in Japanese to describe a general occurrence: for example, 運動をすると、おなかがすく (When you exercise, you get hungry).

If we were playing videogames he'd say "コントローラちょうだい”. We'd use it to ask to borrow pens, have a sip of one another's tea, etc. My neighbor used it when playing with her dog. If she wanted the dog to give her the toy it was playing with, she would put her hand out and say "ちょうだい”. Any other good examples? 　 When I lived in Japan, my boyfriend and I often used ”ちょうだい”　when asking each other for things. If we were playing videogames he’d say “コントローラちょうだい”.

But after listening to it again, I'm pretty sure what he's actually saying is "end" - "hold the end there". So not "oishi", but "oishii". :smile: Mikeさん,
