I'm not sure about pronounciation as well. It isn't easy to learn a language online.

I've always wanted to learn Japanese, but I've never been able to in a town of 4000.

Hikari-Light
Tsurugi-Blade or Sword, referring to a Broadsword.
No- Of
Tatsu(not sure if spelled correctly)-Dragon

I actually knew Hajime Mashite from a couple words we learned in 4th Grade.

I think Triforce of the Gods in Japanese is Tamigo Triforce. I'm only guessing that from a Japanese trailer of A Link to the Past.

Also monogatari is story and (rather oddly) ousama is king

I think with Triforce of the Gods, you mean Kami no Triforce
Well, I don't see what's so odd about ousama being king. Since... ojisama is prince.

Oh, I'll have to teach you guys about... how to refer to people.

So... when you say people's names, you usually add a certain suffix.
For girls, you'll add -chan
For guys, you'll add -kun
To be polite, you'll add -san
When refering to someone in a position of respect (like a king) you'll say -sama

Hence, why it's ousama.

I thought it was amusing because it sounded like Osama, as in Osama Binladen.

Anyway, thanks for that PhoenixTears-san. Now I know why Nintendo add san to the end of people's surnames.

Oh, and when you want to refer to someone in a cute way, you use -tan
Tan is most often used for girls.

I've been using the table on page 1 to try and figure out the unlockable tracks in Mario Kart Wii. After matching the symbols up with the track names I came up with these:

Akuariso to (I assume this is Bowser's Castle since Aku means evil)
Wanwanru retsuto
Fuanki sutashiamu
Furotsukuhiroho

Could you try and translate these as best as you can please PT?

Errr... problem.
I'm not really an avid fan of Mario Kart, and therefore, I don't really know the names of stages. The reason why this would impair me some is because of the fact that I wouldn't know if they're using character's names to name the stages....
eh heh...
