What it you were to schedule a meeting time with someone & you want to run the time by that person. Would it be appropriate to say the sentence with the suggested meeting time followed by a new sentence, either「いかがですか」か「どうですか」？ Or would neither work? Thanks! みなさん、こんにちは。

On the other hand, Verbた＋方がいい means "You should do such and such, or more literally, "It would be better to do such and such". 2) The なら in the phrase 今なら２５パーセントオフです！ inserts a conditional. If (you buy it) now, it's 25% off. The "you buy it" is inferred. Rhys,

Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura just announced that Japan may consider requiring long-term resident foreigners to have local language ability. So whose palm are you greasing?

The computer salesman will try to convince Kinoshita-san to switch to Windows, and Kinoshita-san will turn the tables, convincing the salesman he won't be targeted with so many computer viruses if he switches to Leopard. Just kidding. I know you don't want to irritate all your Windows using listeners. “What do you think will happen next week?”
