  1. Can the sentence 「たけしさんはコンビニの前で一時間メアリーさんを待ちました」be written as 「たけしさんは一時間コンビニの前でメアリーさんを待ちました」?

  2. Is there a way to keep pronouncing words in Japanese instead of English? Depending on the characters I pronounce it in English by accident, despite knowing how to say it in Japanese.

    Edit: pronouncing English word for 火 and 水 instead of the Japanese word. Example saying fire instead of hi and water instead of mizu.

  3. Hi, could someone explain this to me.

    Lyrics from きのこ帝国の「GIRL meets number girl」

    沈む水の底へ　妄想になす**べなく**

    From what I’ve gotten from the robots, べなく is like a negative version of べき? I tried to find more but nothing really came up, so just wondering if this is true or if anyone knows if its a common way to negate べき.

    Thanks!!

  4. What is the best word to use for “friendship?” 

    There are too many options. Just a generic use, like ‘thanks for your friendship.’

    Is 友好 appropriate?
