Writing A Word In Hiragana?

Postby hollystafford2337115 » October 12th, 2013 3:59 am

Hi, I was just curious about the writing of a certain word in Hiragana.
I know gomenesai, however there is the casual gomen and gomene.
I'm curious if I should write gomene as ごめんえ, ごめね, or ごめんね.
Which would be the correct form?

It's two words: gomen and nasai. In hiragana it's ごめんなさい.

I'm curious if I should write gomene as ごめんえ, ごめね, or ごめんね.

This is two words as well, gomen and ne, so the last one is the correct one.
