Hi, I'm Andrew! I am from Hawaii, and I am a student. I study Japanese because my family is from Japan who came to Hawaii to originally work in the plantations. But that was years ago, and by now, I think that I'm the fifth generation… so… my family has been disconnected from Japan. But I want to reconnect in some way. I came to italki to find more ways to use my Japanese since there are times when I don't really need to use it, and I could easily lose what I learned. I'd like to find some users that I can practice my Japanese with, and could possibly help out with my native language, English. But anyone is welcome to talk/message me if you'd like!

    “Right now” refers to the present moment in time, right now. “Right off” is a variant of “straight away,” which means immediately. For example, I recognized who she was straight away.

    1. I think that it’s needed to put “of” in there, but it isn’t required for “the.” So for the sentences that you created, the first one, sentence a, would be correct. 2. Although usually, that wouldn’t make sense because the “people” aren’t specified, they are assuming we understand that 90% of people who see the picture don’t see what’s wrong. It’s a bit vague, but it works out somehow.

    I would say “a few lines of code” or “many lines of code.” Computer coding itself isn’t countable, as far as I know. Code refers to the program instructions.

    My first Japanese teacher was native, but my second teacher is not. After graduating schools, I had a new teacher. With the first teacher, everything sounded natural, but the curriculum wasn’t too structured and the content didn’t have too many rules or formats to follow. With my current second teacher, there are some things that my first teacher says is unnatural-sounding, but the curriculum is very structured and the content includes sentence forms and formats. For me, it’s a difficult situation.

    1. An adjective phrase is a phrase whose head word is an adjective. Some examples include “fond of steak,” “very happy,” “quite small,” “proud man,” etc. 2. “It is reported that the company has bankrupted.” 3. A paragraph is sometimes defined as 5 or more sentences. Paragraphs are separate sections in a longer writing piece. An essay is a short, but complete piece of writing about a particular subject.

    “Cultural fit” refers to how well someone is in terms of the company’s values, goals, practices, etc. Sometimes, a company may have a difficult time trying to define these things to themselves, too. Since these things are very company-specific, try to see what values, goals, and practices your specific company has to see what types of applicant characteristics are favorable.

    It all depends on the perspective. “Come back” refers to you coming back to a place that you’re currently in. “Go back” is used when you would like to go back to somewhere you’re not in. Telling someone to “come back” would be used when you’re telling them to return to where you are. And you being told to “come back” means they want you to return to where they are. For your specific example, using “go back” would be appropriate in your perspective, and “come back” is appropriate in the perspective of someone who is at the place where you’d like to go back to. It all depends on whose perspective it is, and who they’re talking about.

    Both sentences are using は correctly. かれ refers to “he,” and かれら refers to “they.” So the first sentence is saying “He is running,” and the second sentence is saying “They are writing katakana.”

    The first one is more direct and means “I want to drink coffee.” Because it’s very direct, it’s a more impolite way of stating that you want to do something. It still can be used among people of the same or lower status than you. The second one is a more indirect and formal of saying the same thing, and can be used when speaking to people of a higher status than you.
