Can somebody please help me translate something?
 
Hey. Can someone PLEASE help me translate in japanese (romanized)

"I'm outside. Can you please let me inside?"

This would help me immensely

Outside where? ^^;;

TruthIsATimeBomb 02-29-2008 12:24 AM

like outside of the house

SSJup81 02-29-2008 12:50 AM

Watashi wa ie no soto ni arimasu.

I have no idea if that's right, but I can't figure out how to say, "Please let me inside", unless you could say, "Watashi wa ie no naka ni kaeritai desu."

I probably conjugated Kaeru wrong. ^^;

Edit: Or maybe you could say...Haitte mo ii desu ka?

It's actually supposed to be "imasu" instead of "arimasu" arimasu is used for nonliving things. :)

SSJup81 02-29-2008 07:03 AM

I was wondering about that. I was thinking more along the lines of the house, though, which is why I used "arimasu" as opposed to "imasu".

imeka 02-29-2008 07:17 AM

the house part doesn't matter if it's not the subject of the sentence. if it was about the house like, ie ga tonari no ki ni arimasu, or whatever :vsign:

soto ni imasu. naka ni iresashite kudasai.

SSJup81 02-29-2008 07:30 AM

Thanks for clearing up the arimasu and imasu thing there. If it's not too much trouble, could one of you check this topic? I'm not sure if I was right there.

i think I'd rather leave it up to MMM I'm still sort of new to japanese.
