Somehow, my sentence doesn't sound right...

[imeka]

今あいだがらがありません
Pass on:　うしろ　－Behind

[82riceballs]

Somehow, I don't think "今, 間柄がありません" makes sense.
I don't think "aidagara" is used for dating relationships.>>> See example sentences

後ろに怪しいじじが立ってるよ！お気をつけて！
There's a suspicious old man standing behind you. Be careful

I pass: 慌しい　awatadashii - busy; hurried; confused; flurried

[imeka]

hello this is my first post here and my Japanese isn't very good but ill give this game a try.
日曜日、オレのアリスという刀と子供を殺しました。　 怪しそうでした(not sure how to say something seemed in the past )。please correct me because its probably horribly wrong.

On Sunday with my sword called Alice i killed a child. He was suspicious. :P

i pass :　愛郷心（あいきょうしん）　provincialism (i randomly picked it in my dictionary with my eyes closed) :P

[82riceballs]

日曜日、オレのアリスという刀と子供を殺しました。　 怪しそうでした

I suggest sticking to easier sentences, but it's nice to see that you tried

日曜日[particle:に]、オレのアリスという刀[particle: で]子供を殺しました。　怪しそうでした

The particle "to" means "and" while the particle "de" means "by means of." (At least I'm guessing this is how it's typically used--I'm not very good at Japanese)

Try not to pick random words out of your dictionary. Dictionaries often have pretty obscure or rarely used words. Try to pick words from a vocabulary list you're trying to memorize. (Maybe pick words from Tanner Becker's Vocab List) However, I will continue w/ 愛郷心

エレナは愛国心だけではなく、愛郷心もあるよ。Elena not only loves her country [has patriotism], but also is her hometown [provincialism/love of one's hometown].

I pass: 厚かましい　impudent; shameless; brazen

problem is 'to' can mean with and 'de' can mean in , for example 公園で犬と遊ぶ　i play with dog in the park, but forgetting the ni particle was just me being stupid :P because i was thinking about stuff like 「毎日」と「昨日」。 Also i think 'de' being by means of might just be for transport but i really have no clue .

[82riceballs]

'To' means 'with' in the sense of 'I played a game with my sister' (妹とゲームをした。) or 'I ate lunch with my friends'　(友達と昼ご飯を食べた). That's why in my previous post, I explained it as 'and'. 'To' does not mean 'by means of.'

'De' can mean 'at [someplace]' but it can also mean 'by means of' as you already know for transportation (see Denshi Jisho - Online Japanese dictionary.

'De' can be used in multiple other situations.
e.g. 鉛筆で書いてください Please write in pen
バスで行く to go by bus
寝不足で病気になる to get sick because/due to of lack of sleep

...not to mention a billion different usages I have yet to learn

ところで、日本語はどこで学びますか。By the way, where to you learn Japanese?
