How do I saw "One of my favorite X is Y" in Japanese I'm having a little trouble expressing a thought in Japanese: "One of my favorite X is Y" for example: "One of my favorite movies is Shawshank Redemption" As my vocabulary in Japanese is comparatively limited, I've been using "like" or "好き”, so I'd also appreciate a word that might better capture favorite. So far I only know: ”Shawshank Redemptionは好きな映画です” Shawshank Redemption is a movie I like and "Shawshank Redemptionは一番好きな映画です" Shawshank Redemption is my favorite movie But I'm not sure how to express the first thought. Any suggestions are appreciated.Grr, The title should read "How do I sa*y* "One of my favorite X is Y" in Japanese"; It's almost like English isn't my first language ^^;

"One of my favorite X is Y" → Yは私のお気に入りのXの一つです (Y wa watshi no okiniiri no X no hitotsu desu) favorite = お気に入り (okiniiri) "One of my favorite movies is Shawshank Redemption" → 「ショーシャンクの空に」は、私のお気に入りの映画の一つです。 ショーシャンクの空に is the translation of Shawshank Redemption. You can also use "好き" when you talk about your favorite movies. For example, 「ショーシャンクの空に」は、私の好きな映画の一つです。 → Shawshank Redemption is one of the movies I like. 一番 = best, the most so, "Shawshank Redemptionは一番好きな映画です" will be "Shawshank Redemption is my most favorite movie." =)
