Wow, arigatou for sharing this with us! And that study in the morning tip do seems interesting . And to your first question there... umm... nope, as Kenny stated, automatic translation (including Google) cannot be trusted. Yup! Once we are done with the characters, you'll all see ! Having to memorize list of vocabularies will only give you headaches... and it's hard to stick them to your head... I have a better way in mind ~ :mrgreen: Hmmm... ?? Moving on to the next 's' character... す 'su'! Hirgana: Lesson 13 - 'す' [su] & 'ず' [zu] す, in hiragana, or ス in katakana is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. Their shapes come from the kanji 寸 and 須, respectively. Both kana represent the sound [su͍]). In the Ainu language, the katakana ス can be written as small ㇲ to represent a final s, and is used to emphasize the pronunciation of rather than the normal [ɕ] (represented in Ainu as ㇱ). Pronunciation: 'す' is romanized 'su'. Word beginning with 'す': すな (suna -> sand) すし (sushi -> Japanese dish) すてき (suteki -> beautiful; lovely) すばらしい (subarashii -> wonderful; splendid) すごい (sugoi -> incredible; impressive) する (suru -> to do) Stroke order: ______________ The character 'す' may also be combined with a dakuten, changing it into ず in hiragana, and 'zu' in Hepburn romanization. With the dakuten added the pronunciation is changed, to 'zu'. す + " (dakuten) = ず (look below) Pronunciation: ‘ず’ is romanized (pronounced) ‘zu’ as in ‘zoo’. Word with 'す': 水/みず (mizu -> water) まずい (mazui -> not good) まず (mazu -> first [of all]; to start with) Task: You shall write 'す' & 'ず' 50 - 100 times in your textbook. If you want, like with the previous lessons, write 'す' 70 times and 'ず' 30 times. Memorize the shape, the stroke order, the sound, the pronunciation (echo the sound of the character each time you write it down), etc. And after you've done that, write 'さ', 'し', and 'す' one after each repetitively (さ, し, す, さ, し, す, etc.) 50 times (100 if you have time).

Ano... I am not sure if my confusion should be posted here but... I may sound stupid to ask this... but anyway! When Chris and Sharon Vineyard was discovered to be one and the same person in episode 345... back in episode when they showed a flashback of Chris's mother, Sharon's funeral; If Chris and Sharon were actually the same person, then who on earth was lying in the coffin at the funeral?! Who's inside !? Can you answer to this, Professor Chekhov ?

Ohhh ... HOPELESS IDIOT has made his awesome idiotic intro ! Ohohohoho ! I laughed reading your intro . It's funny and enjoyable to read (I enjoyed reading your plan of invading the DCW ) ~ Ah, and welcome to the world you are about to destroy !

Sorry for the late updates, guys. I got stuck here and I had difficulty in explaining stuffs. But it had been solved thanks to Kenny-sensei for helping with this lesson . Hirgana: Lesson 12 - 'し' [shi] & 'じ' [ji] し, in hiragana, or シ in katakana, and the variant form ㋛, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. Both represent the phoneme /si/ although for phonological reasons, the actual pronunciation is 'shi' as in 'she'. The shapes of these kana have origins in the character 之. The katakana form has become increasingly popular as an emoticon in the Western world due to its resemblance to a smiling face. Pronunciation: 'し' is romanized 'shi' and pronounced 'shi' as in the English 'she'. Word beginning with 'し': 死 = し (shi -> death) 死ぬ = しぬ (shinu -> to die) 知る = しる (shiru -> to know; to understand) ４月 = しがつ (shigatsu -> April) 指紋 = しもん (shimon -> fingerprint) Other sounds: The pronunciation of the character 'し' can also be changed to 3 different sounds. Stroke order: The 'し' stroke order is easy. It's just like drawing umbrella's handle; beginning from the top then smoothly slide it down and up a little. ______________ A dakuten may also be added to this character. But instead of changing the pronunciation to 'z' sound like the rest of the 's' characters... 'し' [shi] with dakuten added -> じ [ji] is pronouced 'ji' like with the English alphabet 'G'. Words with 'じ': じい (jii -> old man) 自殺 = じさつ (jisatsu -> suicide) 時間 = じかん (jikan -> hour; time) 事件 = じけん (jiken -> case; affair; incident) ______________ YO-ON In the Japanese language there are also contracted words called 拗音 (yo-on). They are made up of two letters written together. A hiragana ending with “i” such as ki (き), shi (し), etc... followed by a small ya (ゃ), yu (ゅ) or yo (ょ). The hiragana’s ending with “i” also include their dakuten and handakuten versions. The yoon’s for 'shi' are: しゃ/sha (Pronounced: sha) Ex. 写真/しゃしん shashin (picture) しゅ/shu (P: shu) Ex. 旬/しゅん shun (fresh) しょ/sho (P: shyo) Ex. 初心者/しょしんしゃ shoshinsha (freshman/newbie) The yoon’s for 'ji' are: じゃ/ja (P: jiya) Ex. じゃあね jaane ([good] bye) じゅ/ju (P: jyu) Ex. 塾/じゅく juku (tutor/tutoring center) じょ/jo (P: jyo) Ex. 少女/しょうじょ shoujo (little girl) A full list can be found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%8Don ______________ Task: You shall write 'し' & 'じ' 50 - 100 times in your textbook. If you want, like with the previous lessons, write 'し' 70 times and 'じ' 30 times . Memorize the shape, the stroke order, the sound, the pronunciation (echo the sound of the character each time you write it down), etc. PS: The Hiragana: Lesson 7 - 'き' [ki] & 'ぎ' [gi] will be edited and upgraded shortly. We will inform you when it's fully done.

Detective Conan File 764 has been released! -> http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=989625073 I can't believe it! My deduction is... My deduction is...

LOL! We can just Hiraganize the Katakanas in the lessons before we get to know about them ^^ The Katakana characters isn't much used anyways.. I mean not as frequent as Hiragana characters . Now that we've learnt the vowel and 'K' sections, we are now moving on to 'S' section! Hiragana: Lesson 11 - 'さ' [sa] & 'ざ' [za] さ, in hiragana, or サ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. Both represent [sa]. The shapes of these kana originate from 左 and 散, respectively. Like き, the hiragana character may be written with or without linking the lower line to the rest of the character. Pronunciation: 'さ' is romanized 'sa' and pronounced 'sa' as in 'sakura'. Word beginning with 'さ': 酒 = さけ (sake -> sake [alcohol]) 猿 = さる (saru -> monkey) 桜 = さくら (sakura -> cherry blossom) 魚 = さかな (sakana -> fish) 寒い = さむい (samui -> cold [adj.]) 殺人 = さつじん (satsujin -> murder) Stroke Order: The character 'さ' may be combined with a dakuten, changing it into ざ in hiragana, and za in Hepburn romanization. The pronunciation is also changed, to [za]. さ + " (dakuten) = ざ (look below) Word with 'ざ': わざわさ (wazawaza -> doing something especially rather than incidentally (wazawaza is more like a phrase)) Note: You shall write 'さ' & 'ざ' 50 - 100 times in your textbook. If you want, like with the previous lessons, write 'さ' 70 times and 'ざ' 30 times . Memorize the shape, the stroke order, the sound, the pronunciation (echo the sound of the character each time you write it down), etc. Good luck !

Same here. That's what I had in mind, too, but... I had a difficulty in explaining it and writing it down, hehe ~ Thank you for pointing it out . By the way, you are the same Wakarimashita from DCTP, or am I mistaken ?

LOL! Yeah, Gosho's usual cases always with 3 suspects... 3 is the least usual. Because if there're two -> Person 1: It's not me ... so it can only be you . Person 2: Liar! It's not me... it's YOU ! The one who is not lying would know that the other is the real culprit But I see some of DC cases that has only one suspect... but lack of evidence ~ Umm... this certainly is interesting. I think it's only a change of habit But I also think... if this case were to have only 3 suspects... it would be more easier to guess.

I just re-read the file 762 and read the file 763 ... Mmm... I voted for Architect Karube Teigo . I didn't read your theories till now that I have read the files... but wow, Chehov... you are brilliant ! Genius I would say ... AWESOME deductions everyone :mrgreen: Man, I just hope that Hakuba will make an appearence .

AWESOME! I also love that quote ! Well, I didn't dream ... it's true~ Check it out here ->
