    "not on your life" I saw the sample conversation below. Man: Did Jane take your advise about going to the dentist for her cavities? Sometimes she can't sleep because of the pain in her teeth. Woman: Not on your life! What's "not on your life" ? I know the woman wanted to say that Jane didn't take woman's advise. but I'd like to know what do native English speaker image when they hear "not on your life". Is something on man's life ??

    they technically have different meanings. and these two verbs can be distinct from each other. for example, 決まる is intransitive verb. and 決める is transitive verb. While English transitive verb requires object word as you know, Japanese transitive verb likewise needs object word following itself. I'll put the examples with the sentences Chi/小千 san showed. 決まる:日本へ行くことが決まった it literally means "Going to Japan was decided". (weird English though...) 決める:日本へ行くことに決めた literally means "I decided to go to Japan". whereas 決まる doesn't need object word, you have to put object word following 決まる. I hope you could make sense out of these verbs and sentences.

    did your friend tell his feeling to the girl?? how sweet :) and your japanese is so good. I could totally understand what you want to write. since my english is not so good, I'm not sure it could be your help. ---------- こんにちは! 元気?今日の仕事はどうだった?まだ先生たちのせいで忙しいのかな?あまり勉強しすぎないでね!この前は、電話をくれてありがとう。私にとってはとても重要なことだったよ。あなたはとてもいい友達だ!いつも私たちが電話で話をしていると、私は時間を忘れてたくさん話すぎちゃうよ、ごめんね、ははは。あなたはもう2週間くらい東京にいるんでしょ?会社の配属がわかるのはいつなのかな?北海道あたりに決まるといいね。 メール読んでくれてよかったよ。怖がらせちゃったらごめん、ははは!実はメールを書くときは、あなたと長い間連絡を取ってなかったから心配していた。ただ、あなたが元気かどうか知りたかったんだよ。そして、あなたも知ってる通り、電子メールの中で告白しちゃった。私が日本に住んでもうすぐ1年になるんだけど、やっぱり日本のことが好きになった。いつか日本に住んで、素敵な彼女を見つけたいと思ってる。もちろん、私たちはまだお互いのことを良く知らないよね。でも、もしあなたは彼氏募集中だったら返事聞かせてね。募集中じゃなかったら大丈夫だよ!これからも友達としていましょう。 とにかく、ここまで読んでくれてありがとう。また福岡に戻ったら遊ぼうね!電話もしてね、いつでもいいよ!じゃあね。 AJより ---------- it's still a little bit weird. because even though it uses friendly talking way that can be used among good friends, it calls the girl "あなた". but it won't be a matter :) i hope it could be you and your friend's help.
