Gaku do-shiteru? **The answer to Gaku genki? will usually be "She's okay" and the answer to Sari do-shiteru ? will usually be "She's okay. Shehas been doing...."or She's okay.

Iranai.* Ii.* Iya.* Yada.* Yada-yo.**The Japanese, in their sentence structuring, differentiata between wanting an object (none) and wanting action (verb). If you want an object (for example, chewing gum), place the none in front of -ga hoshii.EXAMPLE: Gamu-ga hoshii. (I want gum.)If you want action (to go), add tai to the verb (stem from), EXAMPLE: Ikitai. (I want to go.) Correspondingly, the negative from works the same way.EXAMPLE: Gamu-ga hoshikunai. (I don't want gum.) Or you can just say Iranai (I don't want /need [it]);Ikitakunai (I don't want to go); or you can just say lya, Yada, or Yada-yo (I don't want [to]).NOTE:Iya, yada, and yada-yo are for action; iranai is for nouns; and Ii is for either. And because these words are slang, they shoud not be said harshly, or their meaning would be too strong.I really don't want/need(it). Honto-ni iranai.I'm busy. Isogashii.I'm happy. Ureshii.(joyous) Shiawase.(fortunate)I'n happy to hear that. Sore-o kiite ureshii.Sample Conversation 1Taro: She's late,isn't she? Kanojyo osoi-na?She said she would comehere at eight o'clock,though.

These strngers like to touch any part of the girls body, and to "flash." The chikan usually rides the train during the morning and late afternoon rush hours to benefit from the proximity of the passengers.Most girls will freak-out during this experience and the few that don't might slap the offender and/or verballyaccuse him of sexual harassment. The transgressor might counterattack by asying something like Dare-ga omae-nanka sawarukayo?! (Who wold want to touch you?!). The sad part of this story is that no one will pacifistically look away as if nothing happened.For the guy who would like to score a few "brownie points,"give your assistance in a situation like this. Eveyone will be surprised-probably even more surprised than the chikan. But, if Superman isn't following word/phrases and the others listed in this chapter.Lewd! Vulgar! Sukebe!*Sexual perversion. Abnormality. Hentai.**Placing kono in front of sukebe and hentai will direct the attention to one person, such as Kono shkebe! (You freak!) and Kono hentai ! ( You pervert!).Take your hand(s) off!

The new home is a perpetual laboratory for one's own creative faculties, which
are continually being tried out and continually being surpassed. So then it
is no longer of any importance to imagine the form of this home, because the
only thing that matters is the use made of it. Its image is manifold, never
final, and has no codified meaning nor spatial hierarchy. A kind of furnished
parking lot from which all antecedent types have vanished, giving way to a spontaneous
shaping of the environment.
Architecture is no longer a means for representing a system because the city
no longer offers an enjoyable image.
The
city has ceased to be a place and has become a condition.
