How do I say this in other words...? - 03-23-2009, 04:14 AM

家の近くに百円ショップがあって、よく買い物をします 。そこには、 いいものがたくさなりますが。。。

その近くにも新しい百円。。。

木村さんはきれいなベルトを見つけて、それを三本買いました。

Alright, so I need to figure out how to say the bold parts in other simple words. I know what these are saying, but I'm not sure of what other words I can use in these parts that mean the same thing. I'm sure it will be obvious, but I can't think right now.

Thanks!

Edit: I'm not sure if I should just be saying あそこ/この近く/これ or if there are other choices that mean the same thing without using those alternatives. Sorry if this is confusing!

I am not sure why you are looking for alternative words, when you have the best words there.

I would probably say your last sentence this way:

木村さんはきれいなベルトを見つけて、三本買いました 。

Yah, it's just for an assignment. I'm a little confused myself - Maybe I'm just supposed to use あそこ/この近く/これ if there isn't an obvious alternative. Thanks.

I'd also like to point out that I think you made a little typo here: いいものがたくさなりますが。。。

Should be いいものがたくさんありますが。。。, right?

When you type in Japanese words, note that 'N' often eaten by following Vowel.

If you type in "TAKUSANARIMASU", Japanese IME convert it as "たくさなります".
YOu need to type in double 'N' like "TAKUSANNARIMASU" to completely separate ん.


Language makes Culture and Culture makes Language.
