So, I'm afraid that the situation tends to be more difficult to understand. :sad: But, I hope you can enjoy learning about the meaning or the story behind it. :wink: KaleNagasaki-san,

Maybe I'm just too newbie? :\ I know it’s too late to matter, but I have such a hard time figuring out an appropriate situation to use these words because I can’t understand the sample sentences in which they are used.
