So, your sentence would be いつまでもいきしようちんしていられない which literally means "I can't keep nervous forever." :nihon: To type the small ょ, it might be different depending on a keyboard, but I guess you'll get ょ by typing "x + y + o". :wink: yadokari-san,

but would this following sentence make sense in another context with a slightly different meaning or is it just grammatically and conceptually wrong?

いつまでもいきしようちんしていらない

also stupid question but how do i write the small よ in いきしようちん?

I hope that helps!

One Chinese 四字熟語 that might be of interest to Japanese learners is 指鹿为馬, or "to point at a deer and call it a horse". There are a lot of yojijukugo in Chinese!

Ive been awake since 4:00 Philadelphia time studying for a Japanese final. Im ready to avenge my past tests and chop this finals head off, as a loyal retainer to JP101. Maybe my fellow Ronin and I will do some ritual disembowling partying tonight for the end of the semester. Ah well, anyway, im glad to see another MyTokyo lesson up. Im going to check it out now for a little side distraction. Also, i just wanted to say for the purpose of constructive critisim, sometime the lessons have some overly long gaps of empty space between the dialoge and the lesson. Also sometimes I feel that the content between Japanese and english translations could be shorted so maybe listeners could get a little better ideal of what means what. Just some thoughts, But everythings real great as ive said many times before. Ok, im going to get back in the books and check out this new lesson! Ako Roshi Day huh?
