The Hangout: EP is back and running in bullet time!

[Tanthias]

Iin desu ga, sensei ni homeraremashita. Totemo ii koto da to shitteimasu kedo, yappari boku ni wa oseji ga dame desu. Hazukashikute, terashite shimatte, itsumo nani mo ienaku natte shimaimasu. Boku wa amari erakunai shi, sainou mo amari arimasen.

Umm...it was fun, I guess But my teacher is far too nice, and always compliments me. And I'm terrible with compliments. I just get so embarrassed and flustered...

Do you want to play MBAC a little now? You said you wanted to play me, and I don't want to stay up too late tonight... Assuming you're not busy, anyway.

Hahaha... I don't know what most of that says

I wish I could, but I have to leave for college soon How about tomorrow?

[Fer!]

So far I have learned that "boku wa" it's something like I or myself.

[Fer!]

lol, wut?

Meaning that I can do only two sell/buy operation, if I had five I'd sell the whole team. Except Fletcher, he's the only one who would remain in Hibernian.

Something like "It was good, but I ended up getting praised by my teacher. I know it's a really good thing, but compliments really don't fit me. It's embarrassing, I get totally flustered, and always end up unable to say anything. I'm not an especially good person, nor do I have much talent, so...". Complete, no doubt, with mistakes. I already caught one. ;

Ah, shame. Oh well, it's fine~ Tomorrow it is. Or the day after. There's no rush~

So it's basically what you said in the second paragraph (except with more detail)?

Hopefully I'll get up at a decent hour like I did today (slept from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM) and not pull another 4:00 AM to 2:00 PM sleep... I've been getting better against Ray, so maybe I'll be a challenge for you when we actually play

Boku is one way of saying I. There's many different ones, each carrying different connotations, and some tied to a certain gender. After studying Japanese for a while, I decided 'boku' probably suited me best. Some of the differences between the pronouns are hard to explain, but you get a good feel for their various tones and connotations simply by hearing them used in movies and suchlike.

Wa is a particle that marks the subject of a sentence. Particles mark the word directly before them, so 'Boku wa' is like 'As for me...'. So yep, you're more or less right.

All I know is Watashi wa(sp?).

Commonly used in anime.

[Chibi-Suke]

[Chibi-Suke]

All I know is Watashi wa(sp?).

Commonly used in anime.

boku=young man saying I
watashi= standard I

Yep, watashi is another word for I. It's probably the safest one if you're not sure. And the best to use in workplaces and suchlike, as opposed to more casual ones.
