there’s no 801 word…
it is umai : sweet, delicious. Thanks for your comment, we will fix it.
Few typos: 緩い with meaning of loose meaning is read ゆるい, 明後日 is more commonly read あさって, 九つ has wrong romaji
thank yakisaba san ! i fixed them.
No. 147 . ishoni instead of issho
No. 177, which should be okuru.
Thank Anna ! i fixed them.
That’s really useful for me. How can i say the Congratulations with Japan friend. Is it true おめでとう
yes it is. you can say in more formal way : arigatou gozaimasu
No,224 should be te-buru
No.241 should be “magaru
Thank Anna, I fixed it !
No.292 should be ‘Kangaeru’
Thank Anna, I fixed it !
No. 373 should be yameru instead of tomeru
It can be tomeru sometimes, anyway i fixed it, Thanks Anna san !
No.170
Shouldn’t it be Watashitachi not Watachitachi?
Thank Riku san, i fixed it !
No.645 Everywhere I look is says it should be saisho, and that saikin means recently.
Thanks GoldFish-Boy, it is saisho. I fixed it.
No. 676 says that group is グループ but the romaji says guru-bu. I’m assuming it is guru-PU, with a P.
No. 744 shows that mondai is how you pronounce 宿題, but according to Jisho.com it’s しゅくだい (shukudai)
No. 788 has the same description as 785. But Jisho says that 788 means “reply; answer; response” not view, perspective.
I’m pretty sure that No. 819 should be kanarazu, not hanarazu.
Thank GoldFish-Boy san ! I checked and fixed words in your comments
Word 408 is sisutemu, shouldn’t it be shisutemu?
i fixed it, thanks Abdul
No. 422 is the same as No. 4…
It’s shisutemu not sisutemu
