Kick the bucket, bite the dust, croak - everyone knows these terms but you must have a few rarer favorites, don't you? Personally, I like the phrase "Check out time at Motel Earth". What's your best term for the big farewell??

I can remember my Granddad always said this when ever I really wanted something and would say I wish I had so-so, and he would say that if wishes were horses...than I can't remember the rest. I guess it was supposed to motivate me to stop wishing and work to get what I wanted.

This is America. If you live here, know the language – ENGLISH. I realize that America has no official language, but naturalized citizens ARE required to take an ENGLISH test to become a citizen

When you get automated phone answering systems in other countries, do they prompt to you push 1 for (that country's language) I'd honestly like to know

If I moved/immigrated to another country, I would respect that country enough to learn its language.

Bottom line here is not about pushing a number on our telephone keypad, gimme a break. But there is a reason that If you want to live in a country (any country) and be accepted as a part of that country - START BY LEARNING THE LANGUAGE I cant accept a virus of ignorance and illegal aliens overtaking the country that I defended with my blood for over 21 years; and my forefathers and comdrades died for. A country must unite to stand strong, but how can it unite if some refuse to learn the language?
Celebrate unity not diversity

I practically can't find the verb "shiteru" in ANY online Japanese-English dictionary.

I'm guessing that "shiteru" has something to do with "suru" but I can't point my finger on it.

The "ru" in "shiteru" seems to refer to a base form, which is even MORE perplexing, because the base form of "suru" is, well, "suru"!

And finally, do
"Nani o shiteru no" and
"Nani o shite iru no"
have the same meaning?

The "shite" in the second sentence is obviously a form of "suru", and "iru" is a base-form verb. How about "shiteru"?

Thanks a lot for your help!!! ^_^

(Note: If you think that this has anything to do with certain English swear words, then you are wrong, and please don't answer this question.)

1. What is the colloquial form of these questions?
- 何ですか？ (Nan desu ka?)
- どこへ行きますか？ (Doko he ikimasu ka?)
- 何をしますか？ (Nani o shimasu ka?)
- 好きですか？ (Suki desu ka?)

I only know these "polite forms", so I'd appreciate if you could convert them into colloquial forms.

2. I do know the following "colloquial question"...
何をしてるの？ (Nani o shiteru no?)
What does it mean?

3. Finally, if you want to tell someone that you love him...

How do the particles work around "suki da"?
For example, if you want to say "I (watashi) love Anohito"... what particle would you use with "watashi" and what particule would you use with "Anohito"? And how do you fit these around the compound verb "suki da"?

Thanks a lot!!!!

(Don't worry, I'm not about to write a love letter. I'm just asking... :-p) ^_^

For example, Jelly = Jello, Jam = Jelly, Biscuits = Cookies, Pavement = Sidewalk, Give Way = Yield, Chips = French Fries, Crisps = Chips.

AND THEN THERE IS THE MISSING U WORDS

Neighbour - Neighbor
Colour - Color

Can anyone think of anymore words? and does it irriate you when reading a novel when the words are spelt wrong?
