Nihongo!

Well...tonight I took my first class in Japanese Language. Hehehe, good class it was. Pretty sensei as well. Kawaii!

Anyway, learned alot of new words today...Japanese words of course. Like aso, hiru, yoru which means, morning, afternoon and evening respectively. Also several congratulatory greetings, like tanjobi omedetogozaimasu, kekkun omedetogozaimasu and shinnen omedetogozaimasu, which means, respectively, happy birthday, happy wedding, and happy new year. The additive -gozaimasu gives the greeting a more respectful sound. Something like a very happy new year, and is preferred if you're speaking to someone of respect; like your teacher, boss, parents and elders. The greeting without -gozaimasu is more for friends, younger people, and people of the same social status.

Well...no need to bore you with what I've learned tonight. Oyasuminasai!
