So I guess a pretty good translation would be "they said", "it said", "they say"... etc. For example this sentence that showed up in today's lesson: どちもほとんど同じ意味なんだって。 It's said that they both have almost the same meaning. the だって implying that he was told this, and that he didn't just come to the conclusion on his own. That’s correct デボンさん

Well, I agree with doraemon, really tough vocab today. Poor guy, I think he spoke too much, should have opened his mouth less. :wink: Maybe then he could have had his gift! I already think proverbs are difficult to understand in a foreing language, but in Japanese they really need to come with a manual. Everything is so "abbreviated" that you really need good imagination to try to guess what that means. Because of all this I think Japanese is such an nice language. Isn't it amazing that you can say so much using just a few words??? I'm becoming a Sachiko-san's big fan. I like the way she goes through the lessons, especially with Natsuko-san and Peter-san, what a great team you are!!! Just miss Yoshi-san and Chigusa-san. Couldn't they come occasionally for a special lesson? Maybe another iLove video... :wink: Mata jikai! :mrgreen: Mina-san… genki?
