Subject: Re: I love you... or do I?

I do believe that suki da yo means I love you even though it literally 
means I like you.  OTOH, according to the authority on this subject ;)  
"More Making Out in Japanese" (hell, it was $5.95, you would have bought 
it too!), they use "aishiteru".

I suppose you could follow that with "poketto-ni futon-ga haiteru" (I 
have a futon in my pocket),  Next would be "koofun-shitekichatta" (I'm 
getting excited).  If you've been a bad boy, then you have to break out 
the "hinin-suru-no wasurechatta" (I forgot to use protection).  If that's 
the case, and lady luck isn't on your side, you'll hear "atashi nishin 
shiteru-no" (I'm pregnant), to which you can respond with "shujutsu-o 
shiyoo" (let's have the operation).

In any case, when she dumps you, you can tell your friends that she's a 
"kooshuu benjo" (public restroom, i.e. meaning that she'll let anyone use 
her!)

Now, isn't it worth $5.95 to learn all these handy phrases?

         you mean their's another one....
 I just got "Making out in Japanese" for Christmas....yes, I have applied 
to the JET program....
    I'dd have to say one of my favorites was "I don't like you anymore 
and am changing my phone-number"

                    too too  strange....
