Ikimasu Is like "Im going!" Like when you leave the house. And you can be with another person so it would be like "we're going" kimashita is like "It/they came!" kimansen i havent really heard...But i'm thinking Kimasen is "It didN'T come" Masen makes it mean the opposite (but i never really heard it like this ^^') With deshita its just a more polite / repectible way of saying it(I think) so...kimashita is used only to show past tense or something already happened,right?

"no naka" means "in something"
So you you say, "kaban no naka", it means "inside the bag"

thank you so much!!! so can you translate this one "deai kara dorekurai" "No matter how much since meeting.." But that's only part of sentence, so the way you say would change a little if you give me the whole sentence...

*sigh* Unfortounatly, learning to actually speak Japanese can be a hard and often daunting task. If you're relying on these translations to help you speak Japanese I have one suggestion for you: don't. The only reason being that English letters make you pronounce the word differently, and will make you have an American accent(acctualy quoting my learning language CD on this one). I think that the best method would be to learn using the Pimslur method, which I am currently doing. You can pick up the language education CD at any Barnes and Nobles near you.
XC I sound like such an advertisement! But stil, if you want to learn to speak the language, learn it properly, taking a course near you, or buying a tutorial CD.
XP!!!!!!!!! I'm a geek~! I admit it! T-T And my language CD gives me headaches! *shakes head*

If you're only typing you can i guess you can learn like this BUT For speaking Its best to get something that talks. ^^ The main thing is that The Vowels (and the R/L*hard to explain*) are ALWAYS pronounced the same a= ah i= ee (like in t eeth) u= oo (like in m oo) e= eh o= oh (Its Just like the Vowel soulds in Spanish if you know How to Pronounce Spanish ^^)
