100 cellphone e-mails in one day? From the same person.
Is it too much?
Probably. But if you’re having fun, who’s counting? Many Japanese have merutomo (e-mail friends) and write back and forth all day long. They may never meet in real life. But some merutomo become really good friends and hang out all the time.
Today we’ll study 3 basic Japanese grammar points. We’ll look at the difference between sou da and you da. And review the correct usage of no ni.

I had a question not really lesson related. I always thought the particle “no” described the attribute of something, but I’ve also seen the “ha” particle play a similar function (kind of like a possessive). The phrases I recognize this in involves this construction: “noun A + (no/ha) + noun B” is translated as “A’s B” regardless of which of the 2 particles is used. Can someone help clear this up for me?

rufus709,
You need to provide a specific example. Off the top of my head, I cannot think of such an example.

I sense a JPod comedy special ending for this story. This online kanojo will end up being a guy I’m sure…
Not keen on the info-mercial at the beginning though. It’s intentionally super cheesy, right?

Well, it’s really nice to meet people on line 2. 51 has been given. To send a clear response, it takes sometime to learn from you and the dislikeness will turn into likeness as the dislikeness has it’s like characters to satisfy you.
