    To a friend: 　おなかすいた！ 　I'm starving! To a stranger： 　A. お腹が空きました。 　I'm hungry. or, 　B. わたしは、お腹が空いています。 Basically A and B mean the same, but could have different nuance depending on the context. (e.g.) A. I'm hungry. Shall we eat something? ("Being hungry" possibly implies your desire to eat in a moment, or followed by a suggestion to eat something together ) B. I'm hungry. I got up late this morning, so I didn't have breakfast. ("Being hungry" is a description of the current state). To someone you respect: (the same as above).

    @Mrs. Tad

    Thank you for your time organizing this thread and the summery.

    Ashamedly to say, I didn't even know the term "energy vampires".
    This thread helps me clarify some of my uncairtain mental actions
    I've ever had.

    I'll recall the list, when I'm feeling weak:)

    How do you say

    How would you say "you will not be forgotten" in Japanese?

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is literally translated into;

    　あなたは　忘れられ　ない　でしょう。


    Practically;

    　あなたを忘れません。

    　I will not forget you.


    Casually you could say;

    　あなたの事、忘れないよ。

    　I will not forget you.

    The sentence ending particle ”よ” is used to indicate

    the speaker’s assumption, intention, or other subtle nuances.

    ****************************************************************

    Note: In Japanese if the speaker's expectation is fixed,

    usage of present tense is more natural.


    I'm not a proffessional Japanese language teacher,

    so I'm sorry if I'm wrong.

    Indeed!  Managing our own negative emotions is the key to prevent the contagious diseases.  Doing meditations, breathing exercises, and taking a walk for relaxation, etc., I tried whatever I could think of for that.  Among those learning languages works the best for me.  This is an interesting topic to discuss.  Thank you Mrs Tad and Ms. Leyla for sharing your idea.

    I should say that I used be a victim of the obsession I'd created on my own.  I'd thought I should put up with vamps, because they are... anyway, being aware of my obsession I started focusing on my priority list.  At that time, my father in law, my own mother, and one of my cats were very ill, and needed my support.  Definitely my top priority was to take care of them.  When vamps. started complaining my mother, who planed to have a cardiac surgery shortly, about our attitude toward them, I made up my mind to beak off my relationship with them.

    At first I blamed myself for doing that, but no one around me did.  If I failed to identify underlying problems deep inside myself, I could be a victim of vamps. or even could turn to be a vamp. myself.

    I once fell into a serious situation facing so-called "energy vampires".  As you describe it, they had no ideas how they affect my life.  They blame others whenever something unpleasant to them happens.  Al tough I tried to keep distance from them in amicable ways, they wanted to come close to me...  It was an awful experience.  I asked for professional opinions from a psychiatrist and finally my husband understood the situation and promised to protect me from vamps.  Glad they gave me up!


    Thank you Mrs Tad.  This is my first entry to Italki.  It was fun to exchange ideas with you and other members.  It's time to go to bed.  Good night.

    Yes, they help me a lot.  Their presence itself is a great comfort to me.  I think when I'm with them, it's relatively easier to control my emotions (even when I'm in the middle of fighting with my husband).  I don't know why?  They give me a moment to forget about trivial and all those things.  It may be just because I'm a crazy cat lover???

    I also keep two cats myself, and admire their behaviours. It's true they are moody and picky, yet they are beloved as they are.

    Applying their behaviors to our real life is not easy, but what I keep in mind is trying not to be a nice person(in fact I'm not!), to be honest to my inner voice.  If I think it's impossible to get along with certain individuals, I would try hard to find the way out.  It's waste of time to be a victim of energy vampires.  I'm happy enough only if a sole person loves me as I am.
