"知ってるんだろう" I've seen this conjugation (知ってるんだろう) for the verb 知る, but I could not find anywhere what this form is supposed to express. Is it a current conjugation in mainland Japan? I've seen it in a song from 沖縄, so maybe it's some kind of regional dialect. Whats does it express anyway?more specifically, i could not find 知ってるんだろう in this conjugation chart http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1W%C3%CE%A4%EB_v5r is 知ってるんだろう correct? or 知っているんだろう, with 【い】?

"elle m'a quitté(e)" est-ce qu'il faut faire l'accord du participe passé dans cette prhase? "elle m'a quitté" ou "elle m'a quittée"? merci.

Japanese song (quite a long question) Some bits the song 瀬戸の花嫁 that I didn't quite fully understand. 1) 瀬戸は日暮れて夕波小波 あなたの島へお嫁にゆくの <Amidst wavelets and night waves (?) of Seto's twilight, towards your island the bride goes> (I dont get the function of the て here, nor i'm much sure if お嫁 is the doer of the 行く action, since there's no particle that would indicate that. Also, what nuance the の at the end is giving to the clause? 2)若いと誰もが心配するけれど愛があるから大丈夫なの <Everybody is worried with the young ones (us?), but the thing is that it's everything alright because "there's love" (we love each other)> (is that it?) 3)段々畑とさよならするのよ <Gradually I say goodbye to my birthplace> (Again, although I get the nuance よ gives, i'm confused with that の) 4)幼い弟行くなと泣いた <My naive little brother cried and "don't go" (it's imperative, right? so is it implicit that he said "don't go", even though there's no verb "to say" in the clause?)>some parts of my question did not appear... i'll try again :( 1) 瀬戸は日暮れて夕波小波 あなたの島へお嫁にゆくの "Amidst wavelets and night waves (?) of Seto's twilight, towards your island the bride goes" (I dont get the function of the て here, nor i'm much sure if お嫁 is the doer of the 行く action, since there's no particle that would indicate that.

Forme négative du verb falloir Dans la phrase [il ne faut pas faire ça], est-ce que ça signifie que «l'on a l'obligation de ne faire pas ça», ou «il n'est pas nécessaire de le faire»? Je pensais que la deuxième option était la correcte, car la négation se tient au verb falloir. Toutefois recemment j'ai écouté «il ne faut jamais se fier aux apparences», donc le contexte resemble plutôt à la première. Aidez-moi svp :)

Kanji 話 some questions regarding this kanji. If I wanted to write "I speak english", what would be the best option? 1. 私は　英語を　話す。 2. 私は　英語を　話します。 3. 私は　英語を　話ます。 I don't know if it's better to use "hanasu" or "hanashimasu". What is the difference between them, I mean, grammatically speaking? Is the 3rd sentence possible at all? I ask that because whenever I write 話します on some of those text-to-speech programs (like google translate), the voice will always read "hanashishimasu" (with an extra shi), so I'm confused if I ought to write 話します or 話ます for "hanashimasu".

kanji 語 and grammar structure. Ok, if i wanted to say "this is a german newspaper" should i write it like "これは ドイツ語 しんぶん です。" or "これは ドイツ しんぶん です"? i'm not sure if the kanji 語 makes it look like i am talking about a newspaper that comes from germany, or a newspaper about the german language. could it mean both, by any chance? another question, if i wanted to ask "where is my japanese book?" the best way of doing that would be "どこは 私の 日本語の 本 ですか。" or " 私の 日本語の 本は どこ ですか。"?
