Thank you!

Those are two different words that just happen to look the same when written in romaji. That's how incomplete romaji is.

優しい　（やさしい） = gentle, kind, etc.　

易しい （やさしい） = easy

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

とても = very

Can someone tell me what this says please, if anything?



It's on a hoody I bought, I didn't realise it had Japanese on it until I took a proper look! Just wondered what it says ^_^

Looks like they wanted to translate 'urban edition' but did a poor job. They should have posted a question on JF!

[Nagoyankee]

The correct term is:


都心版

But it says:

都市の版, which is kinda awkward.

Ah I see, thankyou! That makes sense as it says Urban Edition under it. You'd think they'd do their research before printing it onto a hoody. Maybe they just wanted it because it fitted better or something, it would probably go better with the design maybe.

I'm trying to conjugate the verb Kaeru into the tai form. Would it be Kaeritai or kaerittai or something like that? I don't know what I'm having a difficult time with this.

Your first choice, "kaeritai" is the correct one.
帰りたい　（かえりたい）

You apply the -たい (tai) extention in the same manner you apply -ます (masu).

食べる (taberu) (to eat)
食べます (tabemasu) (to eat (polite))
食べたい (tabetai) (want to eat)

飲む (nomu) (to drink)
飲みます (nomimasu) (to drink (polite))
飲みたい (nomitai) (want to drink)

[SSJup81]

Thanks a lot. So my first choice was the correct one. I was thinking of the u verb chart (ru > tte), which is why I was second-guessing myself. If I would've remembered it's the same as attaching masu, I probably wouldn't have second-guessed. ^_^

They probably used an online translator.

Probably ¬_¬

With the amount of people that use those, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the industry jumped on the band wagon >.<
