@yamapinokanajyo:
お久しぶりです。 can be used in mail, but only in informal mail, which you seem to be writing anyway.

@mamoru:
This is how you explain it. =P

って is generally used as a contraction of と言う.
そうだと言った。

そうだって。

Both mean "I said so."

That's not the only use, though. It can also be used like "So?" in English. Though it doesn't literally equate to the English phrase, I guess a more interpretation would be "You say that, so what?"
For example:
オレは宇宙人だよ。
I'm an alien.
って?
So?

You might notice you can use だから? (Therefore?) in a similar situation.

Maka here is an wonderful example of why it's a bad idea to home school your children. Maybe also a good example of why inbreeding is a bad idea, although the paternity test has not been done to say for sure. -Gendou

usually in writing a mail just "hisashiburi" or some friendly gestures like "genki shiteru?" or "watashi wo oboeteru no kana?"

tte different from itte : D
not really sure how to explain it either - -lll

(言って)itte is to say

ウチは人間じゃないってことを知らなかったんだろう?
uchi wa ningen jyanai tte koto wo shiranakattan darou?
You didn't know that I am not a human?

can you use hisashiburi in writing a mail?
Like saying that it's been a long time since I've last written a letter for you.

ok thanks, how about my second sentence is that correct? --> yep
When does "to iu" be used in a sentence? --> depends

And how about if you want the other person to listen to the song? will to iu be used? -->
well yes... if you are introducing something new like... again it depends on the situation and how you feel it will be appropriate cuz if you use "to iu" then it'll be "Summer Time" to iu kyoku wo kiite mite kudasai
but if you have an ipod in hand or a youtube link i would say "kono kyoku wo kiite mite yo"

for the songs... i don't think "to iu" would work

NEWSの新シングル「Summer Time」を購入しますか。
NEWS no shin SHINGURU "Summer Time" wo kounyuu shimasu ka.
Are you going to buy NEWS new single "Summer Time"?

If you use "kaitai" or "kounyuu shitai" it's like... you must be standing in the store... it's kinda strange to ask "do you want to buy this cd?" instead of
"are you going to buy this cd?"

...2) i assume that you are talking about "to iu"

I want to see the movie called "Taiyou no Uta".
「タイヨウのウタ」 と いう 映画 を 見たいん です。
"Taiyou no Uta" to iu eiga wo mitain desu....
-------------

That was nice to know...
How about if you want to say the title of the movie or song and also the main artist/singer?
Can this pattern be also used when asking question?


NEWS no summer time to iu uta wa cd wo kaitai desu (ka).
ryo to masami no last friends to iu dorama ga suki desu (ka).

..is this correct?

@yamapinokanojyo

1) popular - 人気(ninki)
famous - 有名(yuumei)

if you are talking about "fame" yuumei would be a better choice of word to use
like the 有名な富士山(yuumei na fuji san) ---> famous mt.fuji

on the other hand... you won't like to use popular or ninki to describe a mountain... but yes... if you're talking about mt.fuji as a tourist attraction

2) i assume that you are talking about "to iu"

I want to see the movie called "Taiyou no Uta".
「タイヨウのウタ」 と いう 映画 を 見たいん です。
"Taiyou no Uta" to iu eiga wo mitain desu.

3) i assume... it's this すうがく(suugaku) which means "mathematics"

Konnichiwa minna...
well it's nice to have a site like this...
I'm learning a lot...
hihihihi

well...I just hear this words and I'm not sure what it means, so can someone say the meaning of the ff. words

- nikin (i'm not sure if the spelling is right and if the meaning is famous/popular..if it is, what's the difference between yuumei?)

- toyu (i heard this word is used to say/mean "entitled"...so how do you use it..like for example you want to say you want to see the movie entitled taiyou no uta.)

- lastly what does sugaku means?

Thanks.

again... 超えて(koete) is originally 超える(koeru) which means to cross over or to exceed
just like 住んで(sunde) and 住む(sumu)

examples:

川 を 超えて いきます。
かわ を こえて いきます。(I'll cross the river.)

山 を 超えて いきます。
やま を こえて いきます。(I'll cross the mountain.)

向こう側 に 超えて いきます。
むこうがわ に こえて いきます。(I'll go to the other side.)

君 を 超えて いけます。 
きみ を こえて いけます。(I'll be over you.)

this 住んで(sunde) i assume? there's alot of "sunde" written with different kanji's so i am not so sure : O

but if it's the basic sunde it's probably this 住んで(sunde) which means to live or reside in somewhere
and this 住んで(sunde) comes from the word 住む(sumu)

for example:
わたし は ドイツ に 住んで います。 (I'm living in Germany.)

フレー(FUREE) is hooray : D
触れ(fure) is as the website said, official notice

just a question..

what's the true meaning of "fure"
in some translation they say it's hooray..is this right?
while i saw in a website(kantango) it says the word means official notice.
so what's the right translation for this word?

japanese folks do use "desu"
depends on where you heard them
and sometimes "desu" might not sound like "desu" you see

sometimes "desu" is shrinked and sometimes swallowed up

for instance:

"そうじゃないんですよ" ---> "そうじゃないっすよ"
"sou jyanain desu yo" ---> "sou jyanaissu yo"
