I would like to find someone I can e-mail my questions to. My e-mail is Jackpotwillbemine@yahoo.com

My question is what does the 1st kara mean. What does the 2nd mean.
I think it translate
As for me/I, Because I'm feeling a little sick,eat meal so that I will rest.
私はすこし病れていますから、ごはんを食べてからやすみましょう。

First of all, the kanji 病 is wrong there. It should be 疲. tｓukareteiru means "tired" or "exhausted". I think "I'm a little sick" can be translated into "watashi wa sukoshi guai/kibun ga warui".

The first "kara" suggests "reason" while the second one means "after".
"gohan o tabete kara" in that case means "after I eat a meal".

Hope it helps.

If you have further questions, please feel free to email me at <phi.hirashin.2005.11@gmail.com>.

MMM, here is a wiki on 'ansatsuken'. It has some Japanese writing; 暗殺拳... I hope that helps with acurate translation.

暗殺拳 - everyone, what is it mean? Specifically, that is.

Ansatsuken - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

拳 kobushi(fist) 暗殺(assassination as MMM and nagoyankee already said)

those are what the kanji mean.

edit: but i looked on the wiki link you posted and it basicly explained it completely so what do you mean by "the specific translation"

I mean you just said 'kobushi' which is no part of 'ansatsuken'. Everyone reads it different. I want to know every in and out of the word. Where did you get 'kobushi' from and why is it not part of 'ansatsuken' if it reads 'kobushi' in Japanese?

You could also say 少しい気持ちが悪いから... Could you not?

[Nagoyankee]

Yes, you could.

The big issue with that sentence is the fact that it uses 'から' twice. No careful speaker/writer should do that. That makes you sound very infantile.

on its own its read as kobushi but in this compound it is read as ken. They both mean fist and have the same kanji.

Every in and out of the word　暗　殺　拳 ? first kanji means　Darkness, veiled disapearar ect.... The second means murder, kill, ect.....　The third means fist .

How do you say Good luck? As in "Good luck with your exam". Can some one put the romanji and kanji. Please.

[Nathan]

In think in such a case you wouldn't really say good luck, but the oh-so-useful phrase 頑張る（がんばる）(ganbaru)

When wishing someone luck on something, a short conversation in my experience would always go like this.

A: 　そうか？頑張ってください！ (sou ka? ganbatte kudasai!) "That so? Do your best!"
B: はい、頑張ります。 (hai, ganbarimasu) "Yeah, I will (do my best)."
