Good! but I mean the form changes to the subject. vino rosso is masculine so,

Mi piace il vino rosso. (present)
Mi è piaciuto il vino rosso. (past)

If it were the "pizza" (feminile)

Mi piace la pizza.(present)
Mi è piaciutala pizza.

You wrote: Le piaciuto vino rosso.
This should be "Le è piaciuto il vino rosso. " means She liked the red wine.
Did you get me?

So is 'the' strictly necessary? Are nouns always preceded by an article?

Please! So, shall we get a little romantic? Just in case I ever come across a hot Japanese guy, which is likely to happen at some stage of my life; how do you say: I gotta have you right now? Hahahahaha Okay, I said romantic, how about: I could drown in your eyes forever and that still wouldn't be long enough? lol In a non-formal way?

Hi guys,
I'm Italian and if you want..I'm here to speak in Italian.

I hope to learn English
It's a cultural change

I'm in Japan on August

[Matley]

Hi everybody,
I'm a new entry, I found this forum today, surfing the web.
I'm italian too, I live in Trieste, it's on the upper-right corner of Italy, very close to the border with Slovenia.
I've been in Japan for 1 month last year, and decided to learn japanese after that.
Probably because I was not able to say "hello, let's go for a beer" to all those awesome girls I met in Japan...

Gattaccia, sei mai stata a Trieste?
8 anni sono un bel periodo, Cosa ti è piaciuto di più dell'Italia?
Che lavoro fai/hai fatto in questi 8 anni?

Most of the times, yes.
However there are cases we don't use articles as well.
The use or not of an article gives sense to the phrase.
Look.
All the sentences below have the same meaning. They go drink wine.
Each case is slightly different though.

Vanno a bere vino. - They go drink wine. lit.

Vanno a bere del vino. - They go drink some wine

Vanno a bere il vino. - They go drink "the" wine (this points that we know what wine they're going to drink, 4ex. the wine in the kitchen)

Vanno a bere un bicchiere di vino. - They go drink a glass of wine (which is almost never just one, but we use to say so)

[minniemouse]

Matley, nice to meet you! I'm Italian also!!!

I was quite good, but mmm I say intermediate...
OOO what a nostalgyyyyyyy... yes ... I think I understood...You said
" I've got 3 days virus in the computer, but anti virus doesnt detect it."
Did I good?
"hacer" is "have",,, isnt it? How does it change form?
And I remember "hecho"!! it is past tence? or inperfect?

HAHAHAHA r u sure? Is it likey to happen to you? wonderful! You have to choose well!

You know,,, Japanese culture isn't talkative, rather silence. Because the silence is rigarded as the virtue. And I think there r not many romantic vocabulary. But let's see...

"I could drown in your eyes." = " Anata no hitomi ni oboreruwa."

Anata = you
no = of
hitomi= eye but more romantic word than usual "eye"
ni= objective .... grrrrr I dont remember which is which, anyway one of the objective staff.

oboreru= drown

wow I think if you say this, usual japanese boys blush!
I started new thread in "Language exchange" the title is " japanese homework"
But not many people r interested... If you had time, go and have a look.

Me,too.
Today is cloudy but warm and nice. yesterday we heard thunder ,too.

A presto.

HAHAHAHa wow already found cute girls? yup I think Japanese girls r so cared about their make-up and clean and beautiful. Compare with girls in Florence, japanese girls in Japan r more beautiful. Here 's r more wild! Which type do you like?

Che lavoro fai/hai fatto in questi 8 anni?)

Noop. Sono stata fino a Venezia come solita turista. Però vino bianco, ho bevuto uno buono buono!
E mi sono sposata con un ragazzo italiano e a dirittura sono separata!
Ma Firenze è diventata come la mia città ormai.
Cosa che mi piace di Italia.... tante cose,,, praticamente,ho imparato di accettare la differenza delle persone e culture. L'itariani sono più generosi di giapponesi e più communicativi (una cosa molto importante di stare bene con gli altri!). Sperò che la mia figlia prendera tutte le 2 parte buone di Italia e Giappone.

I really appreciate your help. Still I need the help.
Please continue to check my italian...

Hello there Matley I hope you won't mind me trying to translate this into English? Here I go: Gattaccia, have you ever been to Trieste? 8 years are a long time, what do you like the most about Italy?; and that's it cause I got no clue what that last sentence says =/

Oh thank you!! It's pretty much the same way as in Spanish. If you mean one type of wine specifically then you must use the article, and if you use the first form (example #1) you can omit it since you mean wine, generally speaking ^.^ Got it!

Haha you were close! The accurate translation would be: I have had a virus on my computer for 3 days but the anti-virus is still not detecting it

The verb "haber" has no real meaning, it's used as an auxiliary verb. Spanish has a lot of past tenses and 3 types of irregular verbs. It's not easy to learn the whole conjugation of a verb if you're not a native speaker, that's the basic conjugation (present perfect/past simple, that's when you use this conjugation below)

Infinitive: Haber.

[Yo] he + past. participle of another verb
[Tú] has + past. participle of another verb
[Él/Ella] ha + past. participle of another verb
[Nosotros] hemos + past. participle of another verb
[Vosotros] habéis + past. participle of another verb
[Ellos/as] han + past. participle of another verb

[yo] me he comido una manzana.

me= pronouns, it indicates that the subject both does and recives the action

he= 1st person singular, lets you know who the subject is. Has no further meaning.

comido= eaten, past participle of EAT.

(Yo he comido = I have eaten)

In English most verbs in past tenses (if not all?) finish with either -en or -ed; in Spanish it's -ado, -ido.

una manzana = an apple.

Hacer = make/do (here do is NOT used as an auxiliary verb).

Basic conjugation of HACER:

Infinitive: Hacer.
Gerund: Haciendo.
Participle: Hecho

Present Simple

[Yo] hago
[Tú] haces
[Él/Ella] hace
[Nosotros] hacemos
[Vosotros] hacéis
[Ellos/as] hacen

Estoy haciendo la cena --> I'm making dinner.

Estoy= am

Haciendo = Gerund of MAKE = making.

la cena = dinner.

(Ellos) hacen una buena pareja --> They make a nice couple.

Ellos = They

Hacen = make, 3rd person plural.

Una buena pareja = a nice couple.

oboreru= drown

Thank you!! Hahaha I am so gonna try this on someone tonight

*memorizes* Anata no hitomi ni oboreruwa, anata no hitomi ni oboreruwa, anata no hitomi ni oboreruwa *writes down*

lololol Suki ---- I think it's just a question of my poor english! I imagined that what you wrote. hahaha. and why you didn't write " the anti-virus has not detected it yet" ? I think it's better use inperfect... But I'm not good at imperfect...

the present is

Como una manzana.
tu comes
usted coma
comamos

Right?

*memorizes* Anata no hitomi ni oboreruwa, anata no hitomi ni oboreruwa, anata no hitomi ni oboreruwa *writes down* :

mmmmmmm on the second thought, I say
"Anata no hitomini oboresou" is better.
Because it means " I am almost drown in your eyes. "
"likely,almost" but not 100%. Do you get this delicate meaning?

On the other hand "oboreru wa" sounds like 100% drown. very much sure hahaha
something not sure but sounds like, looks like, we use "～sou".

ex.
Suki looks happy. = Suki ha tanoshisou ni mieru
Suki looks sad. = Suki ha kanashisou ni mieru

ha= just behind the subject it is pronaunced "wa", otherwise "ha"
tanoshii= adjective happy, enjoy
kanashii=adjective sad

tanoshisouni
kanashisouni
= adverb. change the form where i pout the color depends on the 6 situations, not by the person. kind complicated? But it's ok. lil by lil!

mieru=see
miru= look

miru is u r looking at something, you have intention to see.
mieru is just something in front of you, and you see it. you dont have any intention.

Thank you Suki.... I'm so glad to hear that. Coz here, we r in "Japan forum" but I dont think it work well for the purpose... maybe just I'm new and don't know well about the forum. Anyway I continue my quest! hahaha exaggirate!
