 * the problem is, learners do not know the verb forms yet... --lastguru 14:12, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Some notes for my edit: - Marsian / talk 15:24:38, 2005-08-27 (UTC)
 * 1) たなかさん は せんせい だ ね: "...だよね？" is natural in this case.
 * 2) だいじょうぶ だなあ: It's strange. だいじょうぶさ or だいじょうぶだよ is okay.
 * 3) ぜ - ...with people whose social status is below the speaker's: No. You can use it to your friend as 「早く行こうぜ」
 * 4) わ - used only by women: No. A man usually say as 「わかった、じゃ3時に行くわ」. It's true that men don't use "わよ".


 * Doesn't わ usage by men vary a lot depending on the region? -ToothingLummox 15:36, 27 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Er... hmm... yeah. Or, at least, originally. It seems the usage originally from Kansai or western Japan. However, thanks to the TV, I feel not a small number of people(men and women) almost everywhere in Japan occasionally use "わ" of this kind ...but imagining about the number of the people who use it daily and the frequency it is used, appearently the main region is Kansai or western Japanese... Well, it's my mistake to erase the notice. Thanks for your edit, ToothingLummox. - Marsian / talk 17:18:49, 2005-08-27 (UTC)
