The original sentence was うちの会社に応募されたきっかけ　は　何ですか。 So the literal meaning is "What is the [きっかけ-trigger, motivator] you applied you applied to our company?" Of course it means "what prompted you to apply to our company" I hope this helps.:wink: Tachikoma -san

I am very happy to be involved in this community with so many people who are very keen to learn Japanese! Although I would love to be here more often, I might not be able to comment or response as frequently for next 4 weeks due to my teaching practice at a secondary school... Anyway, I am happy to receive any question! I will try to answer on the weekends :razz: Miho markystar san, maxiewawa san

It’s my presure!

I always confuse it with [陪], the verb to accompany, which has the two halves reversed. It is also used in 全部 and 部分 here too, again with exactly the same meaning. It seems I am always saying that about Kanji aren't I. Hopefully we'll soon have someone chiming in with the similarities beween Korean and Japanese. (How are those lessons going by the way) Another round of applause for Miho先生！

Something is going to be happening. No one is doing the "happening", it is occuring on it's own. が is used for those situations where there is no object involved. Eventually, if you listen to a lot of Japanese or read a lot, you'll just get an ear for it like you probably have for English where things just "sound wrong".

But on another note, I see that the english translation is back. So it looks like the last traveblogue's lack of English translation was a one-off. :sad: JZ, を should be が in your correction.

Just ordered the drills, tapes and textbook. Just wasn´t sure about the levels so I took 2 and 3. Lots of drill pages, so all the better! Thanks again. Any other recommendations are much appreciated:razz: Markysan,

Thanks for the thumbs up. By intermediate practise/exercises I mean having gone through causative, passive and the likes. I have a good understanding of basic grammar but need a lot more practise than the 1 or 2 pages which you can find in a standard textbook. Did that even make any sense?:oops: I´ll read up on SF Japanese right now. thanks markysan :grin:
