Kon’nichiwa wout-san,
Good question.
Unfortunately we don’t say like pi-ta-mono but instead, we say:
[person]mitai na [noun] “something like Peter”
e.g.Pi-ta-mitai na fuku “cloths like Peter (wears)”
Naomi-sensei mitai na koe “voice (sounding) like Naomi-sensei”
Please note that you cannot use this to the person followed by mitai.
You can only use this when someone else does something like Peter does.
Beginner Season6 Lesson24 covers this pattern.
I hope this helps.

an another easy lesson , but i have a question.
literally wasuremono means forgotten thing, because mono makes it into a thing.
for example: taberu(to eat) stem tabe + mono becomes tabemono.
now here’s can my question, can it also be used with people?
for example: pi-tamono something very peterlike.
because if it can i think it’ll be very useful (although i can imagine that it’s rude to do this with strangers).
because this way you talk about habit’s without needing to much vocabulary.

Hello,
So I have this scenario in mind where my friend was working at restaurant serving a Japanese guest that brought in his own chopsticks to dine with. He forgot it and my friend, Marvin, reminds him of his forgotten chopsticks.

.. Customer is done with his meal.
おきゃくさん：　ごちそさま！
マービン：　すみません、わすれものです！箸！
おきゃくさん：　あ、ありがとうございます！
マーブン：　どういたしまして。

I think chopsticks is ha-shi/箸

I was just wondering… ではありません、じゃありません、ではないです、じゃないです all mean the same thing? And they are all polite and appropriate in a formal situation?

By the way, keep up the great work. I’m learning so much.

Is it possible to post the Light Notes for this lesson? The font for the regular Lesson Notes does not work, and I know the FAQ stated that the Lesson Notes Light are the solution to that problem… ありがとうございます！
