Sorry that I couldn't update this Blog for a while. I've been busy writing a book. Besides, I wasn't feeling well for two weeks or so because of the summer heat. I'm just glad Autumn has come.

Today we will be learning some simple phrases:

Chotto matte.
ちょっとまって。
ちょっと'ﾒって。
(Wait a minute [moment, second].)

Machikirenai.
まちきれない。
待ちきれない。
(I can't wait.)

Watashi wa ichi-jikan matta.
わたしはいちじかんまった。
私は一時間'ﾒった。
(I waited for an hour.)

*Ichi means one. You can replace the underlined word with another number.

Nani wo matte iruno desuka?
なにをまっているのですか？
何を待っているのですか？
(What are you waiting for?)

Yattah!
やったー！
I did it! (as in "I did it! I passed the test," "I did it! My experiment was successful.") 

Soreja mata!
それじゃ　また！
See you!
