- 今朝のクラスで、Benさんつまらなそうだったね I can understand what you said in Japanese. but if i add some message on your Japanese, ベンはつまらな「さ」そうだったね。 "boring" or "bored".. it is quite complicated question.. if I say "he is boring man" in Japanese, i would say 「かれはつまらない人だ。」on this sentence, he is regarded as a boring person as character or nature of him. On the other hand, 「つまらなさそう」 means "seemed boring or bored".. In Japanese, ~そう is a term of "seems alike". in this sentence, it include the point of view of mine to him. it does not talk about the nature of him at all. so at this time, it will become "bored". I deal with this problem like above as i mentioned as native Japanese speaker. I hope it will help you. :-)0 votedApril 25, 20130

0 votedApril 14, 20130- I guess your question is really nice question. When i read the Japanese sentence, I can see the situation the sentence used was in the the situation that a lot of people are talking at the same time. When i refer a person who is away from me, i will say "あちらはだれですか?" in this sentence, the person has the idea " I do not mind about him but i ask it with my curiosity." because だれ is describing "who" and "what". the reason why i use あちら is because the thing which i indicated was a "person". we need to respect the person a little bit at least. When I refer a person who is closer to me and the words could be heard by him possibly, I would use "あちらのかたはどなたですか。” あちらのかた is really nice phrase for the person who heard the phrase. but recent days, this phrase is getting very polite and the person who heard this phrase will get angry a little bit because great respect can be a way to let the person who heard feel inferior because he did not have any idea to use. but When i usually communicate with people in fact, i will pay more respect to people if i take the potential fortune into consideration and said "あちらのお方はどちらさまですか。" I think this phrase is the most respectful phrase. On the other hand, the ordinary Japanese people dislike the person who use this phrase because it is extremely polite way to ask who that person is. (this feeling is similar to words used as if they were the person who speak British Royal English.) I hope this helps.0 votedApril 14, 20132
- if i welcome someone to my house, I would say あがってちょうだい。" please lift up " (the floor of Japanese house is a little bit higher than the ground. so "lift up a little bit" means "to come in the house" because of gap between floor and the ground.) On the other hand, the saying お入りください is more common because of the Japanese house or flat structure. there are getting decreasing the house with the gap between the floor and the ground. people refer the あがる as go upper and some people regard it as the polite phrase. if I waited someone for a long time for some reason and he come to my house, i would say "いらっしゃい。".. because there are some reason to invite him such as for providing dishes in restaurant. I hope this helps.0 votedApril 14, 20131
ので and ですから
Quite interesting quesiton! .. Thanks.
I will explain a little.
The most important point is "です" in this question. When I use the both phrase, I will consider the sitaution.If I talk about present and unstable thing ( I will go there SO if the call comes, let me know.), I will use ので. the situation can be "changeable". it means i can go outside and i can go in conference and so forth. I can do anything.
On the other hand, ですから is more complicated. I will use like this .
"This service moves like this SO we cannot change."
Why I use this is because "the service " cannot be changed.
"This is a cat SO we cannot change it as dog."
"cat" is "cat".. we cannot change.
"this service moves like this SO ,if you would like to modified it, you need to call me."
"this service" cannot change at all by the owner. so "you need to call me".I hope this helps.

well done !..I am not sure if you wrote the sentence with google translation or something like that.
The reason why i said "well done " is because in this sentence, you use the important and very advanced sentence.
It is ~~shika ....
shika means "only " in English. so in this sentence, sukoshishika.. means "only a little bit" . it was used as to enphasizing how small amount of it.
by emphasizing the "small amount", it will be the negative sentence, so the end of the sentence will become "~~sen".
I guess you can speak Japanese well when i see your sentence at the first time.
if you would like to learn it, i will help you. take care !
