How would you say and write "can I please take a picture of you?" in japanese?
 

Show us how YOU would say it first. You have stated many times on JF that you know some Japanese.

イッズ・フォト・オケイなの

Well, "photo" is "shashin", "you" is "anata", "please" is "onegai shimasu", and I don't know what can I is so i'm going to go with "watashi wa", and I'm probanly wrong but I think take is kakarimasu. I would say it "Shashin anata onegai shimasu watashi wa kakarimasu?" Sounds right. How would you most of the time say it?

Thank you very much:rolleyes:

Japanese is more complex than that, you cannot take a literal translation of words and slap it together.

My limited japanese would suggest:

anata no shashin o totte mo iidesu ka

あなたの写真を撮ってもいいですか？

It is literally "Is it ok to take a picture of you?"

Though, more fluent members can probably correct me

HA HA HA... Kyle, are you being funny or do you really want her/him to say this???

That explains why the ranking of TX Law is falling. :D

1. You don't need あなたの. 写真を撮ってもいいですか。 Or how about 写真を撮らせていただけないでしょうか。 :)

2. I was just joking.

3. "Cayla" = "she" :)

What does that mean?
