Do you mean "God"? Or "paper"? :mrgreen: Andrew-san,

Your grammar is right, but I’m not sure what “kami” you mean! Do you mean “God”? Or “paper”? :mrgreen:

村上春樹さんはたしかにすごい人ですね。
私も会いたいです。

「うわー。細い！」という方がよく聞きます。「スマート」は日本では「頭がいい」という意味でよく使われます。
よく使うでは、最近若い人はよく「ほそっ！」とみじかくいいます。 :cool:

In this phrase, スタイルがいい is recognized as a set, then put 超 to emphasize it because we put a modifying word before a modified word in Japanese. You might hear スタイルが超いい. It put more emphasis on いい but the meaning is almost the same. Scott-san,

I found one called "Moon Crying" from the Rhythm Nation label, but I was not familiar with the kanji for the singer's name. Of course, those of you in the know realize that the singer is 倖田 來未, none other than this lesson's Koda Kumi. I thought that was pretty amusing. 皆さん、

The first time I went to one there were four or five 16-year-olds in there and my girlfriend reckoned she could hear the uproar from the women's baths (the first time my girlfriend's nephew saw me taking a bath he was so shocked that he could only respond with 'kedarake?' - which I'm told means, 'hair all over?'). :neutral: :oops: Thanks for another entertaining lesson - although I do think it is a bit of a missed opportunity to explore what the onsen experience is like for westerners.
